Love Turned Away

With the wind hissing through my hair,
I walk, gazing upon the distorted beauty of the sea.
The sounds of waves lapping upon the beach,
Soothes my soul, relieving this depression in me.

A life spent apart, avoiding contact with others,
Shunning what others have spent their lifetime seeking.
Fearful of the rejections of lovers,
I turned my back on any who might be looking.

Sheltering myself from perceived danger,
Allowing no one close whom may cause harm.
I pushed away from myself that, which I most wanted,
A simple touch, a caress, the feeling of a lover's charm.

Love seemed to be passing me by,
Slipping away to eternity.
Like sand slipping through my fingers,
Far too long I have allowed it to be.

How can I change this course I've taken,
This self defeating attitude of life.
Throw off this cloak of depression,
That is causing me such strife.

Oh that I could only open up this heart,
Ignore all the damage to it that's been done.
Let my feelings pour forth like a burst dam,
Allow love into my life from just one.

I cling to a tread of hope,
That you will be the one.
Whose smile will come to embrace me,
I pray with you love has come.

A rent, a tear, a hole in my armor,
Could this be the beginning of love's emotion.
Is it possible that you are to be the one,
Who will capture my heart with loving devotion.

I feel a weakness, a breaking down of walls,
Slowly then faster she has torn them apart.
Finding that within me I'd thought long lost,
A new beginning. A new life to start.

Love, so long denied and hidden,
Blazes forth like the rising sun.
The dam has burst and love floods in,
So many years lost, my love she has won.

These feelings should have always been there.
Had I not turned a blind eye toward love.
Never again will I have a heart of stone,
Like the one pried open with the gentleness of a dove.

With the wind hissing through my hair,
I walk gazing upon the beauty of the sea.
The sounds of waves lapping upon the beach,
Soothing my soul, at last my love has been set free.

Washing and Drying Hair Tips:


Avoid over-washing your hair. If you can stand it, try not to wash your hair with shampoo every single day. For days that you do not wash your hair, apply a fragrant mist designed especially to refresh tresses.


Don’t apply shampoo directly to the top of your head. Apply shampoo from the nape of the neck first, and then work it through the rest of your hair.


Distribute cleansing and styling products evenly through your hair. When you apply conditioner, use a comb to spread the product evenly through your hair.


Lessen trauma to your hair. Try to avoid wrapping your hair in a towel and leaving it twisted up on your head for long. It may be convenient, but it can damage your hair.


Avoid blow-drying your hair everyday. Allow your hair to dry naturally whenever possible, whether you shower at night or let your hair dry over the weekend.




Hair Styling Tips:

Accessorize! On days when you just don’t have time, go for a ponytail or a headband. Realize that your hair can look really cute even if you don’t spend a long time styling it.


Experiment with color. If you find yourself constantly bored with your hair, a new color might be all you need to add some zest to your appearance. Still a little wary of dying your hair? Try a brand that washes out in eight shampoos.


Opt for a new haircut. Colors and accessories do lend a lot to a hairstyle; however, haircuts are the true standby for a new look.


Select styling tools to vary your look. Curling irons, flatirons, combs, pins, clips and an assortment of brushes offer nice diversity for hairstyles.


If all else fails, wear it straight. If you don’t feel like fighting with your hair today, wear it down. For hair that behaves rather well, consider letting your hair dry naturally. If your hair requires more maintenance, apply a gentle styling product to prevent frizzy hair. Remember,  straight hairstyle can be perfect with any outfit, for any occasion.
