Language Barricade

On the community blog
I met this spaniad
Hello
Hi! Was the reply I got
Her profile captivating
My desire sprouted
What a beauty you are
An unspeakable clusters of letters displayed on my screen
What do you mean?
Hoping it was a mistake
But after repetition
I realised the boundary
We understood not ourselves
How I hope for a new lingua tongue
My heart wept
I couldn't express my love
To the one my heart draws to
I was left angered
Why not a universal language for lovelove?

Language certainly is a barrier. Why is there no universal language? Perhaps some day.
