An ancient love dream



Why do you fade so early,
lovely ladies,who give out your love too early,
wasting it on wrong unworthies
never to recover fully from mistakes
that mark your lives unnecessarily
with far too early grown grey hairs?
You used to have the loveliest hair
in all the world, and longest,
marking your integrity and freedom,
for that is the meaning of long hair:
a demonstration of personal freedom;
while you still in spite of decades
of mistakes and wrongs and sufferings
have that personal freedom left
and are the same in soul with all your beauty.
Once I gave you all my love
to never take it back,
and my word counts as much today
as it did then of all my warmest love and friendship
which still makes us twins of destiny
forever on the quest of new discoveries
of how to win and grow and manifest that love
that for some reason never became ours.

Thanks for your comment.

"ps. about long hair...it doesn t represent freedom, actually it makes us hide behind it ...we are not Samson s and don t consider anybody as Dalilah...trust me I should know"

I think it's very individual. Some don't suit in it at all, they have the wrong kind of hair growth, while others are unthinkable without it. For some it definitely represents freedom and other things, like natural generosity and flair, while some definitely hide in it. No matter what you think about the Samson-Delilah story, it does remain intriguing.

Another view of the matter is of the contrary. Is baldness better? To me, the skinhead fashion is the ugliest of all, brutalizing the human aspect completely, especially when it comes to women.

best wishes,

Chris

Your sentiment is deeply moving with tender touches and care.
And, as Tai mentioned your thoughts on long hair, I started to put together the reason why I have let my hair grow longer than anytime in my life. I kept it short all during my 32 yr marriage, but after I left him I started to let it grow only cutting it just to keep it shaped. Now it is down to my shoulders. I have never felt freer in my life. I hadn't realized my hair length was symbolism for the oppression I felt while married and then the freedom after the divorce. lol : ) Thanks for a very enlightening poem. kathy
