Your Hair

Random Inspiration

Your Hair!

How it falls in golden waves

Tumbling softly over

the skin of your neck

Enchanting and lustrous

Tousled and untame

I name you captor

trapping me in the depths

of those silken locks

Free me now! From this spell

This lasting hypnosis

I suffer so willingly

I would not trade it

Not for all the treasures 

of all the kingdom

Nay, not a single strand

How could I part?

Oh your hair!

How it drives this heart 

to inevitable distraction

Oceans of molten gold

I dare not swim

for I would drown

Fall deeply within

The nets you have cast

For me, your prey

Your hair, your hair!

Tempting and lush

Consuming my thoughts

My vice exposed

I venture to share

I confess myself

I am taken by you 

and your heavenly hair

Author's Note

Poems are not my forte, but for some reason I was inspired to write this. Thoughts?

Hahha, I never imagined the significance of a woman's hair would reach that level! I really like the exclamation in the beginning (Your Hair!) and your claim of getting stuck in those locks, and how you can't be free from them. This is so sweet, and why would you say poetry is not your forte? It definitely is. I also enjoyed the last part, and a beautiful ending with "your heavenly hair". Sometimes I wondered if men think that hair is a veil of beauty, because mostly it covers your face, but I guess I know now! I really enjoyed, keep writing.

Nice job with the imagery and details! :)

I cringe at the word "locks."

But I thought the poem itself was sweet. I hope you wrote it to give to someone.
