" The Tinder Sonnets " By Jacky Kapadia In fleeting swipes, where curated glances meet, A quiet theater dressed in borrowed light, Profiles speak in fragments, sharp yet incomplete, While hearts perform behind the glass of night. A verse begins with wit and measured charm, Emojis stand where once true letters lay, Affection blooms within a coded form, Then fades as silence steals the words away. Yet still we chase a sonnet half-defined, In algorithms tuned to chance and choice, Where longing writes what logic can’t confine, And fleeting echoes mimic a true voice. Perhaps amid the noise, one line stays true— A modern rhyme where hearts begin anew. ==================END=================== #TinderSonnets, #ModernLove, #DigitalRomance, #OnlineDating, #LoveInTheDigitalAge, #SwipeCulture, #PoetryCommunity, #ContemporaryPoetry, #LovePoetry, #RomanticPoetry, #CreativeWriting, #PoetsOfInstagram, #InstaPoetry, #WritersOfInstagram, #PoetryLovers, #ModernRelationships, #DatingApps, #LoveAndTechnology, #EmotionalWriting, #PoetryGram

" Swipe Left for Tenderness " By Jacky Kapadia In glass-lit rooms where silence softly scrolls, We curate hearts like items on display, A thousand faces flicker through our souls, Yet warmth dissolves with just a thumb’s slight sway. A glance, a pause—then gone without a trace, No echo left of what we might have been, We trade the depth of one enduring face For fleeting sparks upon a glowing screen. But tenderness was never meant to chase The hurried rhythm of a restless hand, It blooms in time, in stillness, in a space Where quiet truths are felt, not just scanned. So swipe if you must—but somewhere let it rest, Beyond the rush, beyond the endless stream, For love is not a game of right or left, But something lived in moments in between. ==================END=================== #SwipeLeftForTenderness, #ModernLove, #DigitalRomance, #OnlineDatingLife, #SwipeCulture, #LoveInTheDigitalAge, #EmotionalConnection, #PoetryCommunity, #ContemporaryPoetry, #LovePoem, #HeartfeltWords, #DeepFeelings, #RomanticPoetry, #SoulfulWriting, #HumanConnection, #DatingApps, #LoveAndLoneliness, #PoetryLovers, #CreativeWriting, #EmotionalWellness
