Notes About The Poem

No More Masks

No More Masks  (Nothing to do with the contest)


I had no idea, when we met in the park
that you'd draw a heart in the air
Then you blew me a big red kiss
And I caught it like it was there

After a while that big red smile
Got my heart just pounding away 
As I saw you walk against the wind
Although none was blowing that day

So, I pulled on a rope, in having the hope
Of somehow drawing you near
But I couldn't talk, while trapped in a box
With the look of total fear
 
You know you looked so darn cute
As you descend those make-believe  stairs
In that Macell Marsuo suit
And a little black beret on your hair 

Now how can I find
The love, that was mime
For I can't remember your face

Jerry, Mime maybe might be mind. Isn't it amazing how a person asks Why are you wearing many masks When mine is way better than yours And for things may have many cures. Dearly beloved you may be one day So give me a chance to ask and say If I were to love me more then you Would it really break your heart into. Jim Horn
