Raven Hair

I have so often thought 
Of your raven black hair
Perfectly inhuman
Beyond my perception
Something that I relished
Internally, with hope
Someday I might touch it
I still see its blue sheen
Curls that looked like feathers
And they brushed your shoulders
I dreamed while I watched you

A good, slightly moody, love poem. Hints of unrequited love here. Is this the love that got away, or is there still hope, I wonder? We all like to live in hope. Regards, Robert.
