Mirella Ester Pennone Masi, with her poem “Forse un giorno,” takes us on an introspective journey, exploring pain, hope and the possibility of a return. Her writing is characterized by a profound sensitivity and an ability to evoke powerful images through few words.
The poem begins with a reminder of an indifferent face, a past love that has left deep scars. The author recognizes that when a love dies, there is always one mistake too many, an admission that makes the pain even more acute and human. However, despite this awareness, there is hidden hope in the possibility of a return and a new reality.
Pennone Masi explores the concept of lonely hearts who prefer the mind to the impulses of the heart, suggesting a preference for reflection and the depth of gazes, rather than the shadows of emotional deserts. This contrast between mind and heart, between solitude and connection, is central to her poetry.
The end of the poem is particularly touching, with the image of the sick heart which is an ocean of feelings and the sunsets that the author has seen but chosen not to look at. This gesture of turning around a thousand times so as not to see the sunsets symbolizes the internal struggle between the desire to face pain and the need to avoid it to protect oneself.
In “Forse un giorno,” Mirella Ester Pennone Masi offers us a poem that is a meditation on lost love and the hope of a better future. Her words resonate with anyone who has ever experienced the pain of broken love and the desire to find peace and understanding.

MAYBE SOMEDAY
Return with your mind
To my indifferent face
I know that maybe you do
But there’s nothing left
May you have me;
When a love dies
There is always one more mistake
But maybe one day
There will be a return
And a different reality.
Maybe, lonely hearts
they prefer the mind
And the deep looks
Which do not enclose the shadow
Deserts!
My sick heart
It’s an ocean of feelings
I saw its sunsets:
I turned around a thousand times
To avoid seeing them…
