let your hair down

Go right ahead, let your hair down
Proudly present the flaws and the frayed, as assigned... tis now grayed
With uneven cutting from past days and old ways
On purpose the colors have changed with time
Locked in are seasons and the reasons of life
Ponder the tales and share lessons learned
To those who do not have the length yet.. as earned
Guide them with each strand of wisdom
to better cover their young souls within them
Adorn the waves of what flows freely
with wind, every storm
let the rain cleanse completely
Cherish each curl of the tides that are... un neatly
Whether they be soft and quiet
or rough and loud
They each matter and needed to be
in order to become you and me

About this poem:
I'm old...lol...and my hair is extremely long but I always wear it in a braid or ponytail....I let my hair down today and was thinking about everything I have been through in life, and how we gray with wisdom as we age, so I wanted to write about it.

Piano Man

In the shadowy smokey haze she stands,
mesmerized by his fingers dancing on the keys,
he feels her presence, not of this plane,
she feels his magic, playing with her soul,
too late now, destiny in motion,
she sways back and forth to his entrancing rhythm,
taking in the pounding of staggering passion,
each sound he directs, to be imprinted inside her,
their fate has started her beauty aglow,
he tunes in the universe, with her mind entangled,
making a symphony of love,
purposefully planned, from ages ago,
he sends her his music, through the air it floats,
now they are one, in the same song,
a child was born from the notes on those sheets,
their time together, lives on and on

About this poem:
Wasted wait away.
Waiting time wasted away.
I watch the wait.
I wait on the watch.
More and more time wasted away.
Always waiting for this and that.
Precious moments passed away waiting, that you can't get back.
Waiting so long, on and on.
From one wait to another wait.
Too late.
Timeworn away.

LOVE

LOVE
That ever elusive force for life, that picks and chooses wisely it's prey.
An entity that makes us laugh and cry, live and die.
A must have for all, who answers it's call.
Just what do we do with it, what do we do without?
The pain when it visits us, the pain when it leaves.
Why respond to it in the way that we do.
What makes it necessary, I have not a clue.
It colors our world, from red to blue.
The beginning, the end.
