Two distant lovers meet,
Once remote, but now
their hearts expectant beat,
Six feet apart, they see the love in both their eyes,
But, she wonders, does that mask mask some surprise?
She thinks...
He seems romantic and original,
But what if he's a wanted criminal?
Does he have a cute proboscis,
Or something pachyderm and monstrous?
Let me see your face!
Please remove your mask!
Dear, it's not too much to ask.
Is your chin strong, shaved and dimpled,
Bearded, weak or badly pimpled?
Let me see your face!
I see the color of your irises,
But at some risk of catching viruses;
Are you handsome? I must know!
Are you a Rocky Horror Show?
Will I want to kiss your lips
If green saliva from them drips?
Let me see your face!
He thinks...
Her cheeks must be like bonbons,
Which excites my male hormones;
Does she resemble Mona Lisa?
Is her skin like day old pizza?
Let me see your face!
Please remove your mask!
Dear, it's not too much to ask.
My love might be precocious,
But do you have bad halitosis?
Let me see your face!
She thinks...
He knows the courtship shtick,
But would his visage make me sick?
Is his smile quite spectacular?
Has he got fangs like Count Dracula's?
Let me see your face!
Please remove your mask!
Dear, it's not too much to ask.
Though there's a twinkle in your eyes,
Will you win a Darwin prize?
Let me see your face!
He thinks...
Will her kiss taste sweet as wine
If she looks like Frankenstein?
Is her pucker red and luscious?
Or will it leave me feeling nauseous?
Please remove your mask!
Dear, it's not too much to ask.
I know it's rather crude,
But I'm a cave man kind of dude;
Let me see your face!
She thinks...
I've seen your tiny image Zoomed,
But in the flesh, might we be doomed?
Below your philtrum, what's unseen?
Do you practice dental hygiene?
Please lift your mask!
Dear, it's not too much to ask.
I only want a peek,
I promise not to shriek.
Let me see your face!
He thinks,
I need to see what's underneath,
Is she missing her front teeth?
Does she have a winsome smile
Or a grin that's crocodile?
Will I feel just as amorous
If her gums are blue and gangrenous?
Let me see her face!
Would you please remove your mask?
Dear, it's not too hard a task.
Are you cute and Jan Vermeer-ish?
Or Boschian nightmarish?
Are your nose and mouth symmetrical?
Picassoesque?
Kaleidoscopical?
Let me see your face!
Two distant lovers meet,
Once remote, but now
their hearts expectant beat.
Six feet apart, they share no hugs,
Can't even smooch through veiled mugs.
Yet eyes alone do have allure,
Even when the rest's obscure.
Two distant lovers meet,
Once remote, but now
their hearts expectant beat.
Alas, for Love there's no vaccine,
And doctors say no cure's foreseen.
A passion borne of just a gaze,
Might just be proof love's not a phase.
So, damn it all, who needs to see your face?
