weaving auburn into gold
intertwined with chestnut brown,
making the rope
sleekly slipping across his palm.
Each sensuous strand slender
yet together strong enough
to stop a breath.
Soon would come the time,
his pulse quickened at the thought,
to add another lock
binding their glory to him
forever.
I enjoyed your poem. It conjured up images of playing tickle games on the school yard. It is innocent at first, but quickly becomes complicated as the individual connections amass to create a different experience. The poem is justly named Head to Head, yet there is something unevenly submissive about the target of the braid.
I too enjoyed these lines...
sleekly slipping across his palm.
Each sensuous strand slender
yet together strong enough
to stop a breath.
very vivid!
.....your writing has such an air of mystery so that reading you is a bit like cloud-gazing. The reader can form his/her own images and this poem is no exception. Some lovely lines "sleekly slipping across his palm" and "strong enough to stop a breath" particularly. Nicely done.

and tells a story at the same time, which I like very much. Even though its a bit creepy (smile). Two small thoughts that in no way make or break the poem: last line in the first stanza, when reading it I was inclined to eliminate the "a" to become "stop breath". Secondly - I have mixed feelings about the last three lines, which I think could be stronger. No sure how - but maybe something like:
to add another lock
fingers binding their glory
forever
