His hair so rich and thick Spiraling upward higher and higher Voluminous in appearance Bold in its statement Copious curls demanding attention Natural, beautiful and free flowing Standing tall to whomever it encounters Sunlight beaming into its brown hue It tells a story of bloodline and culture Narrates history, prejudice, acceptance Perseverant by nature Resilient against criticism I worship his hair from a distance Yearning to feel it in between my fingers Kiss his strands one by one Inhale its scent like aromatherapy

His Hair
His hair so rich and thick Spiraling upward higher and higher Voluminous in appearance Bold in its statement Copious curls demanding attention Natural, beautiful and free flowing Standing tall to whomever it encounters Sunlight beaming into its brown hue It tells a story of bloodline and culture Narrates history, prejudice, acceptance Perseverant by nature Resilient against criticism I worship his hair from a distance Yearning to feel it in between my fingers Kiss his strands one by one Inhale its scent like aromatherapy
