I claw and drool for social acknowledgement.

I’m so blind by the drive, I’m not disgusted by the animal I am and others I admire.

Degrading and defacing myself in the process.

Leave a compliment, for attention and false exchange of treatment.

I hold my phone incapable of moan.

This thing.

It doesn’t care about me.

Neither do the people on it.

My family does.

But I must find acceptance from my peers.
I have to steal their eyes and ears.
They do it, so I must too.
Throw away all my integrity, of which there is few.

It all began that  night,
when you were lonely,
that one night when he left,
that one-night you'd never forget
he broke your trust and shattered your heart,
left you glum, heart-broken, and full of misery,

You decided to go online and have a little fun,
Just to escape the pain and forget the thing he has done,
I was online that time with no one to talk to,
Decided to have a chat with a stranger like you,
little that I know you were broken-hearted too,
then i made up my mind and tried to approach you (virtually),

The conversation he had gone longer than it was supposed to,
two more nights and I mustered my courage then planned to tell you how I felt for you,
I wasn't expecting to get a positive reply from you but,
somehow you told me that maybe you love me too,

Nights went longer and we ain't sad no more,
for there it was, the love that we were waiting for,
together with us, in our hearts and soul,
for each night that we had simple talks but went on longer,
we always end it with a mutual "Goodnight, I love you."

A month went on, we still contact each other,
As the nights grow longer your replies became shorter,
As this went on, I couldn't help but worry and cry,
what if I will be abandoned  again just like the last time,
what if all those nights will just  turn out as wasted time,
why would you waste those wonderful nights of our stupidity and amusement,
with a little bit of satisfaction and pleasure sometimes,

months went on and had passed us by,
decided to meet  this secret lover in real life,
we met as planned but didn't get along as expected,
I was too shy and that is never exaggerated,
I was your banker and you were my boss,

I keep your money (not really yours),and tell me when to procure,
as the days go on i kept on thinking that maybe you never really loved me at all,
you only kept me so you could brag it to your friends and at school,
well I know I was never ever cool at all,nope not once,

maybe we should have never met at all,
maybe we should have stayed friends,
maybe just lovers over the phone,
just like how we started, back as virtual lovers.
love anton

A member of the dating scene,
Only online, giggles it seems,
Today a man did 'wink' at me,
Can you imagine, hilarity,
He lives 3000 miles away, by the sea,
****** fungus covers he,
He has more than slight obesity,
Should I wink at the walrus? Tee hee,
I'llpack up my gear and get out of here,
You'll manage without me, non-dear,
I'm off to a walrus by the sea,
You'll learn to cook your lunch and tea,
Byeee! Yeah, well in reality,
I've got cellulite and jocularity!
Feedback welcome.

I put my fingure on you profile bar
to see you clear and have you more closer.
That the only thing every time I do.
Because,
yesterday's tulip still in the garden.

When the account blink online
I press my side button
and go for a sleep.
It's now a Enstine relativity,
that you are busy
with someone's chat or in my dream.


It's almost full -
text in form of draft.
Unspoken word with immature love.
I wish to format my brain
with full of your picture and smile.
But the backup is store in my heart
Not in my pendrive.
You have me in your contact list
I have tag you in my all poem.
I am waiting for a morning to pickup
that yesterday's tulip still in garden.
When we connect to our loving one by only social media

I dive left before heading right, more times than I care to admit,
Each time I turn right and am not confronted, it feels like rejection,
A small death of little consequence for the life that could have been
So sweet, so superficial, a mini life grew- as I read your bio,
To be dashed in another instant of silence,
I have a tendency to rush into things without much guidance.

Your voice is sweet and smooth- to read,
Imagine a personality that fits- perfectly in the palm of my hand,
Conveyed in small white messages, poked through smaller holes,
Each one I read makes me feel a little brighter inside,
But each little light catches fire and dies, I must confide
That each one I read makes me feel alive.

But only for the moment, so I conduct another,
Small parcel containing another little piece of my soul,
“If you can feel your soul slowly, slipping away, that means that you still have one”
That is a phrase that will lead you to defeat before you have begun,
It leads to me giving away much less than I can afford,
These ‘one for one’ serotonin boosts are leaving me bored…

So maybe we could meet, go get something to eat,
I am sure that I won’t be bored by your topic of conversation,
Or at least I will try and make it look that way,
Because the cold reality is that we have nothing in common,
Except for a lack of self-esteem and an overestimation of our-
Social skills, next to non-existent,
I am perpetually distant!

I am sure that you were terrifically disappointed with last night
Because your messages are written on withered pieces of paper,
A full stop is the most definite thing that there is,
Subtle undertones have a pulse and it beats,
Black blood to and from a dying heart,
I should have known that you were poison, right from the start.
My bleak outlook on dating is definitely why I don't get many second dates :)

He knows I'm a poet
Not just because I told him
but in my cadence.

Conversations through a screen
I've seen your pictures but not your face
and you mine.
But we talk like old friends
and you make me genuinely laugh.
It's more then puffs of exhaled air
actual sounds.

"you have a way of speaking I like"
he said
"I'm crazy interested in something you wrote"
he said
"oh no"
I said
"It's not my best"
I said
"best or not "
he said and I blushed

A man who cares
Is all I've ever wanted
Man this is an old draft I finally revised! It's been a while ^.^

I know that smile
That you never try to hide,
Charms everyone around while
Tacit secrets whelve inside.

I know those eyes,
Can deceive others more than once.
I’ve imagined them raw…
Even as Autumn upon the lonely evening skies.

I know that soft soul,
Is as fierce as any known ghouls.
With a mind of a hundred twists,
His warmth haloes him like
Those gas lamps in the mist.

Reckless and sarcastic,
Oh, I know this very kind...
They're the hopeless romantics.
He wasn’t unlike but hard to find.

He writes about love,
Hopes, and blues.
Loves poems, quotes and
Leaves the least of clues.

We're so different yet quite alike.
Petting devils, demons
And dreams inside.
Broken hearts recognize
Sad, gloomy eyes.
They become friends
With no visible ties.

I wish he was more of a human to me.
Though all I see are poetries and reality.
People like me are like cloudy sunset.
They get lost or you forget.

We crossed paths;
It was written in fate.
I must say he's the weirdest one
I've known was born on this date.

May Almighty be with him in his darkest hours
And fill his life with happiness and love
Like meteor showers.

Happy birthday, Crush
I got to know him for a few days. He is broken but something amazing. He is a story I would read thousands of time but will read again. He has bad habits that I would like to smack him for but that was it, I will peck his cheek after every fight.

But we weren't meant to be. Our time was wrong so was I to think we had a connection.

She's like ink on parchment paper
Solid with faded edges
She's got a lot of weight while being light
Trying to make sense of the shape
At the same time respecting it
I respond in kind by being weightless, a feather quill
To her I am a threaded needle, continuously progressing into a seam
Starting from the beginning until the end
Making a garment without any shape or form
Responding in kind with a letter of my own
A
Ey!
Hey.
As cryptic as where we started
It has potential to end
If I continue our thread there could be a *** of gold that isn't a fool's
There could be a painting made for my frame
There is something about her skin that deserves solid lines
That stretches out toward the strobe lights
That makes its way toward the true light
If paradise was meant for the wicked
Then we are created to balance good and evil

There is this guy I know, I call him Sabby.
He is pretty great.
He is funny and smart, he makes me laugh.
He likes the same music I like.
He asks me serious questions that are funny at the same time.
He is super sweet and I really like him.
Friend or more, I don't know yet.
We are still working on that.
But I still am glad we are friends.
He's the best:)
Love yah Sabby.
