The combing of the hair <br />the brushing <br />the hand holding the strands <br />brushing her hair <br /> <br />Coco wishes <br />it was her hair <br />wants to feel more <br />than hair <br /> <br />wanting to feel full stop <br />to enter in <br />to hold <br />to kiss <br /> <br />to take <br />each inch of skin <br />and lick <br />and o gods of wherever <br /> <br />is this love? <br />such overwhelmingness <br />such empting <br />and the hair held <br /> <br />the fingers <br />letting run through <br />the sensation <br />the breath held <br /> <br />the breathing paused <br />love o love o love <br />and then <br />there is this <br /> <br />that wanting <br />to be with <br />wanting <br />to have and kiss <br /> <br />and the brushing of hair <br />and eyes taking in <br />each aspect <br />from each angle <br /> <br />and she is speaking <br />and Coco hears <br />but doesn't <br />listens but the words <br /> <br />are slippery as eels <br />and are gone <br />but there <br />allusive <br /> <br />just out of reach <br />and the neck <br />and the skin <br />and that space <br /> <br />her eyes settle on <br />and that bath time <br />that watching <br />as one does <br /> <br />that drying of another <br />as one is paid to do <br />but more <br />o love wants more <br /> <br />not once <br />not twice or thrice <br />but forever <br />if such there is <br /> <br />for this young miss <br />for Coco <br />to have and hold <br />and deeply kiss.<br /><br />Terry Collett<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/hair-brushing-and-love-wanting/
