I sat glumly on the delicate head
Deeply distressed, forlorn and uncared for
Lifeless, dull and in Coiffeur
Impoverished, desperately seeking attention....
To cure my malady,
Many a virtuoso deliberated
But all attempts futile, love torn apart
Hairsplitting, on the verge of a breakdown....
The enduring pain seemed eternal
In the dungeon, a glimmer of hope and desire
An aura of radiance emanating,
In disguise of a " DOVE", came a bewitching Fairy....
Gently canoodling the tresses
With the treacle, worked her way like a wizard
Each strand throbbing back to life
Rejuvenated at the scalp, I bounced up in ecstasy....
Back in vogue, permed, styled and set
Many a haughty head turned
Admiring the hairdo, going green with envy
Adulation , was in full bloom....
Felt, touched,caressed and pampered
It was a new day in paradise
The star studded tiara resting
On the pinnacle of glory, in UTOPIA....
Deeply distressed, forlorn and uncared for
Lifeless, dull and in Coiffeur
Impoverished, desperately seeking attention....
To cure my malady,
Many a virtuoso deliberated
But all attempts futile, love torn apart
Hairsplitting, on the verge of a breakdown....
The enduring pain seemed eternal
In the dungeon, a glimmer of hope and desire
An aura of radiance emanating,
In disguise of a " DOVE", came a bewitching Fairy....
Gently canoodling the tresses
With the treacle, worked her way like a wizard
Each strand throbbing back to life
Rejuvenated at the scalp, I bounced up in ecstasy....
Back in vogue, permed, styled and set
Many a haughty head turned
Admiring the hairdo, going green with envy
Adulation , was in full bloom....
Felt, touched,caressed and pampered
It was a new day in paradise
The star studded tiara resting
On the pinnacle of glory, in UTOPIA....
I wish in my heart of hearts that a 'dove' does manifest! Now you are making me dream even during the day! :o).
