As I entered the room
I felt guilt
Like you wouldn't believe...
Not just a little twinge
But full fledged...
'Oh crap...I'm in trouble! '
Kind of guilt
He looked at me
And his eyes bore into my soul
Could he really tell
Or was I just imagining it?
Any second now
I was certain
He was going to ask me...
'Have you been with someone else? '
What would I do?
What could I do?
It's not in my nature to lie...
But he looked at me
With those puppy dog eyes
And I just couldn't
Hurt him
How could I tell him
That someone else
Had fulfilled my wish...
Had done what he couldn't...
Had made me feel brand new again...
Had brought a smile to my face...
How do you hide secrets...
From your hairdresser?

This is wonderful the way you wind your innocence and joy together in the last line. Fabulous work Dee with your usual sense of life and humour. Cheers, Dawn
By the way sometimes I'm not to observant.....congrats on your 100th! ! !
Dee, you had me there for a second but I knew there had to be a twist, perfect twist and so very true! ! Wonderful write! Hugs, Diane
I love your poem. I have had the same woman cutting my hair for over thirty years. My wife thinks she is in love with me.....otherwise why would I trust her with those shears.
This made me smile at the end, i was reading along thinking lovely another great and original poem of romance unbeknown to the inevitable suprize that awaited :) cool write.
the secret when unveiled the code when deciphered love seems to blaze by the flames of desire yet the passion overwhelmes in its room..................dazzling piece, i like it,10/10, thanks for sharing
Clever, funny, but also an interesting insight into human nature! Very well written to boot! ! Excellent stuff Dee. jim xx
Dee this is one of those pieces that intrigue (like an Agatha Christie story) . Beautifully lead in and such a clever twist. And what a profound statement about the ego of the male hairdresser. Darling... How could you? love it. Allie xxxx
