I brush her hair
because it relaxes her,
and I am transfixed
as I watch the waves
of long silken honeygold
sway with each stroke
of my hand
at my command
like a sorcerer-king.
I silently marvel
at my good fortune
as she watches the TV
unaware of my rapture,
thousands and thousands
of strands
each one
beautiful,
perfect,
strong.
I pray
my luck holds out
and that I am given
one day with her
for every hair on
her head.
What a love poem! To be loved that much would be amazing.
ReplyDeleteI like Lord of the Rings series of books and movies. Thanks for visiting.
Thank you for the kind words. It is amazing to love someone so much.
DeleteOh, goodness. This is touching, sensuous, and sexy as hell.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE:
"and I am transfixed

ReplyDeleteand I am transfixed

Thank you, this is how I feel with her.
DeleteThe best love poem I've read in a long time.
ReplyDeleteThank you for such high praises.
DeleteSo beautiful and moving, my friend. I hope that for you too.
ReplyDeleteThank you. Yes I am truly blessed.
DeleteWow! I am moved by the service, the imagery, the love. May your hope come true! That and more!
ReplyDeleteThank you. Everyday with her is a blessing.
DeleteI saw a man brush a woman's hair on the beach when I was about 18. It is one of those memories that merit a poem. It is fascinating how we all express our love differently. Lovely poem.
ReplyDeleteThanks, for my wife, it's catnip.
DeleteWhat a sensual love poem! I don't think the narrator is being entirely honest when he says he brushes because it relaxes her though😉
ReplyDeleteIt *does* relax her - Me, on the other hand...
DeleteThis is just beautiful, Mosk! Such lovely sentiments. She is so lucky to have someone to brush her hair with so much love, and you are so fortunate to have someone you feel this way about.
ReplyDeleteI would've never guessed this unless she told me.
DeleteWhat a beautiful love poem! What a gorgeous image!
ReplyDeleteThanks so much.
Deletea honeyed love poem..full of sweetness :)
ReplyDeleteAw, shucks, thanks.
DeleteThis is the most incredibly romantic thing ever!
ReplyDeleteTell that man of yours to get the hairbrush...
DeleteI love it when my husband strokes my hair. Your poem is amazingly beautiful and struck my heart.
ReplyDeleteSo glad to hear this.
DeleteThis is so moving. I love it.
ReplyDeleteThank you - I'm so thankful she shared this with me. That's a tip: if there's something you really love having done to you, tell someone! Don't make them guess! :) Mosk
Delete^ That was me ... espresso and a cherry. :)
DeleteOne day for every hair - that would be a wonderful blessing now wouldn't it. There is something about brushing someone's hair, it is rather like foot washing. A serving of them - and we get so much back.
ReplyDeleteI like the comparison to foot washing. One day for every hair - that was me being all poetic.
DeleteI feel this way about brushing my daughter's hair, just exactly this.
ReplyDeleteAnd have a similar but not-same experience of stroking my husband's hair away from his forehead with my fingers. Gah, sooooo wonderful, thank you Mosk!
Thanks, it is a surprisingly sensual experience.
DeleteOh so romantic.
ReplyDeleteThanks, my friend. Try it on your favorite partner.
Deletewhew ! ~
ReplyDeleteThat's what I say - Thanks!
DeleteThis is a beautiful poem. She must have loved this.
