The Woman Who Wanted to Feel Beautiful

October 27, 2016 Poems , women 3 Comments

She thought to bring some colours

in her otherwise vapid life.

and stepped down to adjoining plaza

and booked herself an appointment

After two hours of an in-salon session,

rapid discussion on styling arrangement.

she finally got her hair done

in a mahogany and purple plum

She fixed the volume with hair mousse 

and left them loose.

in their bouncy stance.

happy about this new transformation

she sang her way back to home.

cooked the meals

cleaned the house.

set an environment for her spouse

and waited impatiently for his return.

He came with a sullen head

tired and dropped dead

on the adjoining sofa 

where she was seated

she smiled at him and greeted.

It seems he did notice

and looked at her with sarcastic malice

and mocked her "hippy" tresses

she rose to the kitchen

hiding her tears behind slicing the onions

cursing the moment she decided to dress

took a band and tailed her mess.

Her bubble was broken

she cursed her decision

and wonder why she can't be

as good looking as other women.
