CyberRomance

Courtship in these electronic ages,
We hop from bars and clubs into web pages.
Browsing bios with photos at various places,
Looking for one familiar amongst thousand faces,
A pearl amid beach pebbles of potential soulmates,
Two strangers brought together by chance of fate.

Looking for love in cyberspaces,
Romances blossom and fade at faster paces;
Love notes tether on telephone lines,
Paper aphrodisiac from cloud nine.
Virtual flowers and cards exchanged through hyperlinks,
Snapshots of life on live video links.

What one says might not what one appears to be,
What one might get may not be what one sees.
But in any relationship there must be trust,
It is a condition, a given and a must.
I don’t know if I really can
Win over a girl like Beauty Duncan,
Or if I will ever find
A girl to replace the girl I left behind.

[ Author's note: The internet changes everything, from the way we communicate to the way we socialize. All happens in lightening speed. In cyberromance, here the theory of Einstein applies, whether it is in what we look for in a relationship, in beauty, in self-fulfillment, it is all relativity.  ]
