Cherished [Elizabeth-Dea Shanta Remix]

A girl I hung out with sometimes wearing her finger- nails in a virgin state to enhance the beauty of well-manicured hands. On her pinkies, a small diamond sparkles, speaking for an excellent communicator.

Her eye-makeup is non- existent. Disregarding what is in fashion, she follows the beauty routine of Mona Lisa by shaving off her eyebrows, the only way controlling the bush above the eyes. Sometimes she is drawing new eyebrows with black paint and when sweating uncontrollably, she can be mistaken for a European chimney cleaner.

Her hair color is also virgin, flaming red. The Sun is her perfect color technician, turning the red into the colors of the rainbow when running on the streets of Melbourne for charity. Her beautiful mop of her lightens the picture of a grey winter’s day.

When dancing or argues she is turning even redder than her hair. During sex, the heat is so intense that she is worried of a spontaneous human combustion.

Blessed with olive skin, she never needed a tan. This brown velvet hiding all veins and capillaries, she is wind-blown, tanned and magnificent like the statue of Liberty.

She is proud of her hairy legs and that she is employing shaving rather than pulling out eyebrow hair with a pair of tweezers.

Her stupid teeth left her clever gums decades ago, over the years they hardened so much she is able to bite into an apple.

I suggested she buy jeans without flairs after our mutual friend made the comment about her; ‘sheep dressed like lamb’, but her new jeans were much wider than the previous one, to proclaiming eternal youth.

Yet when she check her reflection in the local pool I reminded of the song; “we are many and we are one”.
