Shattered Beauty

Shattered Beauty (Magic of the mask) Nature is so callous To curse or bestow her The face with left half Disfigured and warped By severe accident befallen on her. Alas! Louise Ashby alarmed herself To encounter her face In the mirror blurred By the breath she exhales As if the reflection of her face In the turbid water Traumatized by the storms In the surface of the pond. Louise Ashby Not being able to hold longer Heavy burden of her disfigured face On her adolescent body Standing resolutely in the planet Tears flows in her eyes. If she could recuperate her beauty Granted her by Nature To stage her play again. Thanks to the artistic hand That fixes 238 tiny metal plates in series Fastened as headband Inside the hairy skin of her head To repair the left half With the right half of her face So much beautiful and reverie Like the full moon drops her beauty Inside the tranquil and lucid pond. That alive her again With her dream comes true *
