Locs

The twist of tendrils falling low

draping shoulders like a magic cloak

binding the embers

locked up tight never to be released

like forever on a strand

intertwining coarse to the touch

cared for with precision handled with love

each twist holds the answers

the question still on your lips

who could imagine such beauty as this

strong like wool they capture stares

the locked beauty can never be theirs

imitation is flattery some may say

but you hate what you cannot be

but yet imitate me.

the strength of the shaft

the tight curl pattern now tamed neat

palm rolled or sister loc'd to perfection

true strength in numbers all loc'd down

falling on shoulders like a cloak.
