Hair

By Gnyaneswari

I see myself in the strands of your hair

A bond which you proudly carry on your head

I like the way you look at us in the mirror always

As i gently fall over the sides of your face

When you run your hand through your hair to keep it straight

I feel your gentle fingertips interlacing with mine instead

The sorrow that you show over the parts I shed

Is the only emotion which helps me remain undead

You ignore to change me to look perfect

You love me for the way i see myself

When you shake your head as you dance every time

I dance with you shouting ‘ i’m glad your mine ‘

The way you feel possessive and proud when someone says

“  oh ! you have such a beautiful hair “

“ oh ! you're such a beautiful pair “

The patience that you show when i fall in your ways

You give me a new shape by braiding me with myself

You tie me to let me discover who i am

A radiant smile on your face as i shine

For all those days when i’ve waited  and longed

I finally found the one to whom I belong.
