CS Misery

Life itself has many ups and downs,
Just being Happy with a life long smile,
Emotional users, on this everyone frowns,
Why pretend its just not worthwhile,

Singles sites are a place to meet,
A potential new love found,
Not to hurt or cause one to greet,
So many just give the run-around,

Whatever happened to commonsense,
Many are truly hoping for a new life,
So many seem to still sit on the fence,
Is it really possible to find that husband or wife,

After a while we all give in,
To the blogs and forums abound,
But that hopeful sparkle remains within,
Just maybe that one can be found.

About this poem:

When so many pretend and just like the chase one wonders if it can really happen here or even on any other dating site?
Many of the regulars just go down the avenue of posting poetry, blogs or interact with forums.

Yes, I agree, some of us end up putting hope aside, but stay here for some reason or another - friends, connections they made, from the habit, for poems, blogs, forums. All in all we were lucky to land here on Poet's Corner and stick for some time till it is time to go. We keep leaving steadily, one by one, all in due time. As for me, this is the only social site I visit steadily, I don't even know why, but what's the point of knowing?! It is like someone who keeps visiting a friend's family on a regular basis for a long time and then disappears one day because it is time to go. Time will come and we will all go. CS is like real life: we enter life with so many hopes to find love, happiness, success, some of us succeed in real, find love in real, but for those who fail and sometimes even for successful ones hopes start disappearing slowly and steadily, one after another, till there is no hope left, just an empty room we left once to enter life full of adventures

. Good if there remains in someone that "hopeful sparkle" you mentioned - what can be better?!
Many thanks for sharing, dear poet, do not let that hopeful sparkle go out!

Thank you Kathy and Marina, the strangest thing is those that have similar mind thinks are the furthest apart geographically and that to me is very sad....

Not that any romantic inclination is in the offing but good friendship would be fitting.

Yes, it is a pity there are borders everywhere you look separating like-minded people and making their life miserable. Regretfully, there's no peace predictable in nearest and furthest future on this Earth, otherwise people wouldn't have to cross any borders to see one another, the only mere obstacle admissible being money to travel with, but money is never of any consequence when there are friends one can always count on. Imagine quality of life if there were no wars and similar crazy things, fought for practically nothing, cause money, territories, power are nothing, the only admissible battles being competitions for better companionship!

Imagine there's no countries
It isn't hard to do
Nothing to kill or die for
...
Imagine all the people
Living life in peace...

You may say I'm a dreamer
But I'm not the only one
I hope someday you'll join us
And the world will be as one

I keep revisiting your poem, cause it is about my experience, past and present, and about how I feel. My dear poet, we are not that desperately apart after all, and in my youth, living in the USSR I wouldn't even dare to dream about communicating with people from your part of the world! Keep that hopeful sparkle on, dear poet!
