Love At First Write

We live in a different world these days

A world where you’re more likely to meet,

Online, a dating site, even social media or

Chat rooms, rather than a meet and greet.

****

So hang awhile and let me tell you a story

It’s not what you think, love at first sight,

It all occurred online, a creative platform

Making it a modern day, love at first write.

****

I uploaded and published a poem one day

Where I later found this perfect comment,

Beautifully written, unique and encouraging

I read between the lines what was meant.

****

I’d respond, with kindness and gratitude

Maybe slip in a double edged innuendo,

My next poem was ready to be published

The next comment I’ve kept as a memento.

****

Light hearted banter, both back and forth

Until one comment slammed into my heart,

There it lodged hard, as content as can be

Causing my heart to swell and love to start.

****

Then there was silence, I became concerned

Convinced I’d gone and said something wrong,

I checked and checked but not a word to see

I just wanted to see that one name, I longed.

****

I wrote a poem, with a simple secret message

And saw a beautiful response the very next day,

I took my courage and asked to speak off site

Hoping and praying I wasn’t chasing them away.

****

From there we went from strength to strength

So I will say it again, it was no love at first sight,

It all happened in this, the modern day world

It was through words, becoming love at first write.
