Dating Poems

Post-Sl-t Clarity

My loneliness holds me by a chokehold
reality's a struggle to swallow
rough sex, a remedy
to  off problems until tomorrow

Spent the day sulking in post-**** clarity
devouring hunger for breakfast
this evening I'll be grieving the ghosts
in my sex pest infested direct messages

rebound boys 
wreak havoc on my regrets list.

Pretending I’m not constantly haunted by absences
ramping up nonrhetorical

Breaking the Societal Norm

A delicate dance, a subtle sway,
Expectations woven, in a societal way.
A woman waits, with passive gaze,
For a man to lead, with financial ways.

He pays the bill, the ring, the wedding fee,
The provider role, a lifelong decree.
She expects support, for herself and her kin,
A one-way street, where love may give in.

But some women defy, these norms

Carbon dating

I'd been sleeping poorly what with my agonies
needed an early morning nap but
at a ratatatat on the front door I jerked awake and
obediently open up, a respectable couple not
this time trying to get me to switch my energy supplier or
join the young communists but
'We're from The Sun'
asking me if I had any thoughts on the

We’re Not Dating, But

We’re not dating—
but you heart-react to my stories like it’s a full-time job,
send a “you up?” at 12:47 a.m.
then disappear like my willpower at a shoe sale.

You say you don’t do drama—
but you’ve got more red flags
than a Formula 1 race
and the emotional depth of a spoon.

You post gym selfies with deep quotes
like “loyalty is

I was a stranger

You have a new message
'oh did you forget about me'
no but your picture suggested
we couldn't inhabit the same universe

There was a lunchtime meetup
I tell myself I am not that sort of person
but maybe you were for one wild week
five dates in three days

'I always say I didn't chose acting
acting chose me'

We had a coffee, saw

Blind Dating

They call it blind because you're unable to see
If their good looking, broke or have all their teeth
Taking alot of time to get to know the inner person 
Sharing common idiosyncrasies and other emotions
This person makes you so happy until it's unreal
From these long conversations good is how you feel
For the first date you're wondering

have you ever

Have you ever tried choking? He asked nonchalantly.
“No,” she said. *with a wrinkled nose of disapproval*

“Want to try it?” *His approach couldn't hide his excitement* 
“Ok,” she said, absent mindedly running her index finger over his lips.

“you  can  choke  me,” she added slowly,
 “if I can stab you repeatedly

Yellow A Breathless Color

"Yellow is a bright and fun color to enjoy." By Poet

Yellow is my husband's favorite color,
my fun surprise was going to cost more than a dollar.
We were dating and he was coming to see me,
I was dressing in all yellow looking like a big bee.
When he got off the airplane,
he said - you look breathless

Girl, listen to your mother

He says that he loves you, but he can never say why.
He says he only has eyes for you, but turns and looks every
time another girl walks by.

You think that you love him so much that you can hardly breathe.
Not realizing it is because he has pressed up against your neck, his knee.

He says that

Dating Enthusiastic Eva

Eva’s daily excitement was boundless
Her enthusiasm wore out her beaus.
At first they were bowled over with fascination
By the girl who bounded around the room laughing.

Eventually her mania either wore off or wore thin.
The beaus fell out of love with her, and she hunted them.
They began hiding in their mama’s houses, under beds.
Sometimes she fished them

Rapid Dating During Lunch

Brief introductions
Compact conversations
Abrupt move aways

Thirty-minute lunches
Timed in ten-minute intervals
For singles who want to remain single

Pick up line

I met her at a place I dine
along a lonesome road
I tried to think of a pick-up line
I went into clever mode.

But they've taken all the pick-up lines
I didn't want to offend a date
Should I buy her, her choice of wines?
I spent ten minutes in that debate.

Then I asked her if her name was Google,

catfishers

They met online with one click
She was a doctor, he was a prince
Both were liars, each a cat-fisher slick
All of their lives would make you wince
She paid for dinner, he had forgotten his money
In a few days they were calling each other babe and honey
Perfect couple of swindlers and thieves
When they swung by their relatives

Write Me a Poem

A poem without a topic 
That’s an easy thing to do 
You’re a writer aren’t you - she said
As if to tame the shrew

The rhyming is just reflex
I’m nervous now you see
Maybe you’ll see through the words
Maybe, you’ll see me.
