Dating Site Your Haunting Smile Poem by Luz Hanaii

Dating Site Your Haunting Smile

Rating: 5.0


I saw your face
and I became alive again
your picture seem to stare at me
that bright smile
that seem to call my name

I sent a mail hoping you
would respond

That night I could not sleep
that haunting smile of yours
sketched in my head
kept me awake
wondering
what you'd
be like?

I went to work
thought of you
all day
those eyes
that hair
but mostly
that haunting smile
sketched into my head

The day was hard
the hours long
people would talk
and I'd respond
knowing I soon be home
alone at last
to check
the dating site

And find...
you'd not respond?
what grief!
what pain!
you didn't find me
good enough.

The nature of human's preference could be so hurtful to the others and the poem is telling us in a such beautiful way how someone could get hurt from someone we never know before. Excellent poem. Keep writing my friend.

Such an insightful poem, that makes me question this ages way of connecting romantically with people. The avatars we create out of bits and bites, to form a picture of a total stanger, and ultimately fail in filling in the blanks of who they are. Wonderfully written! Great job: D
