Tinder Lacks Tenderness

Hub for the hopeful
             Bevy of potential sent screenside
             Embellished profile 
             Scerricks of authenticity required

              Jackpotted currency
              drops golden hot potatoes
              Speed swiped discovery
              Divides maybes from 'not those' 

             Loin lain choicest
             upon stainless steel counter
             Gut hunger cloistered 
             By lush cuts unsurmounted

              Lustre ravishing 
              Imploring pupils, strengths flared
              Faults vanishing
              Stall holders spruke shiny wares

              Descriptions flimsy
              outline inability to converse
              Decisions to loiter, with whimsy
              Human facets far more diverse

              I'm looking for
              a person to worship me
              Need harks insecure
              Bolstering sought erroneously 

              Suicided profiles
              never reappear, withered
              Through friend turnstyle
              For fresh pasture given

             Additions become
             assets happily acquired 
             Featured favourite someone
             Love's inbox enlivened 

             Subtracted chances
             ride aesthetics' cruel camel 
             Shifting sand dances
             Will end in itching, damn you


                  
                             D I S C L A I M E R
    Use it,  - young determined and undamagable! 
    Swing a leg over pout mouth gallavanting camel
