Online Dating Blues



I’m not looking for strictly platonic,
Although being friends is necessary
For there to be something more
Something mindful and intimate

I’m a woman who’s done seeking
Feeling myself centered on
Being grateful and kind to me

Wary of the men seeking
As it appears the ones seeking me
Are not available, open or free

Casual encounters are too cold
Disconnected and feeling dejected
From the isolation of moving too fast

Miscellaneous romance is too random
Might even make me rant and rave
About the good old days
When people went on real dates.

Does that leave us as merely
Missed connections?
Forgetting to be human, 
To be open and free?
