Modern Valentine

The world has changed.
In the comfort of my living room
Like an Amazon order, my modern Valentine was there,
available. Delivery in business 3 days.

The blue background of his profile picture
Replaced the romance underneath the blue skies
Which is fine.
We don`t get much of those in London anyway.

There were no whispers of love or lust
We exchanged bits and clicks.
Perfect-flowery-regulatory-pixelated writing
seduced me through the touch screen.

My modern Valentine is a man of nowhere
No Scottish traditions, no Swiss formality.
Just the British coldness hiding the warmth of his heart
Curiously, he found home in a Indian hotel room.

Like in the old pagan days
we were formed a couple by chance. 
Vase or algorithms, it doesn`t matter. 
It`s the most perfect match ever.
