ONE

                    Artist Unknown

One touch and what was ice became fiery hot
One word and what was no, became a why not
One look and what was hidden was now well known
One smile and the rest of the world was only a moan
One promise and forever together we will stand
One night's action and all the rest will be on hand
One heart beat and you are always on my mind
One love is all I hope we will ever be able to find
One tear and I will walk away and leave you alone
One life and I give it to make you a happy home
One day this will all be true for both you and I
One time together you know we must try

Author's Note

I leave most punctuation to the reader that they can read the poem in their own meter, mood and motility. I thank you for taking the time to read my work.

A great poem , very well presented, I like your style!

[Bear]

Thank you, this is another poem written just for this picture

[klawrites]

My first poem of yours that I've read! I'm surprisingly impressed. It's always a thrill to find someone with such talent and rhythm in their work. I love how equally light and thoughtful this read was. Thanks for sharing. I know I'll be enjoying reading more of yours!

[Bear]

Thank you for your kind words, I shall gladly return the read and review favor soon :~)

This is "One" beautifully written poem that says so much to the hopeless romantic that I am.

Bear, your words flow so easily down the page and your rhymes were spot-on ..... and I love the perfectly selected picture you have shared to enhance your words.

I'll be reading more of your words as my schedule will allow .

[Bear]

Thank you for your kind words, many of my poems come from the old poetry circle writing challenge where a picture was posted and everyone wrote a poem about the picture. It was a great writing forum and produced some talented poets. I thought about starting a picture-poem challenge here but don't have the time to give that it would take.

I really enjoy writing and reading poems with repetition to them Bear as I believe it gives it a rhythm and of course you also have the rhyme. I like how in this poem it gives examples of doing something so simple that can change another thing so dramatically. Inspirational piece here Bear.

[Bear]

Thank you for the in depth review Robert, it is not as easy as some might think. To do a repetitive poem and get it to say what you want it to, means spending some time with a thesaurus and rhyming dictionary. But it was time well spent when I presented it to a cretin lady and she, well I better stop there :~)

[Bear]

certain lady that is

[Robert]

Haha, good for you Bear.

I'm not sure how I stumbled upon this piece, but I'm glad I did. This piece is so optimistic; finding the silver lining in what may undesirable circumstances. Great picture, too - which further illustrates the paradigm between the sameness of the opposites. Hopefully, that makes sense. I wrote piece with similarities to this. The thing that really gets me is that your poem could either serve as a preface or an answer to mine.

Great read, Bear. Thanks.

[Bear]

Thank you and I hope you didn't hurt yourself when you stumbled, I don't think this site is insured. I will gladly return the read and review favor soon :~)

[dartanyon jonez]

LOL You're as good with the jokes as you are with the poetry, my friend!

[justdandy]

Thank you for sharing. This is just what I needed to hear today

[Bear]

I am glad to be of service, if you can tell me what would life your spirits I might be able to suggest something else to read:~)

[justdandy]

maybe something calm, like in the relaxing zone

[Dalton Wagoner]

I rally like this piece because it puts a major emphasis on how just small thing can create something much larger or powerful. I will use this as reference! ;-)

[Bear]

Good insight and thanks for stopping by, I know how a long drive it is from your place to mine :~)

[Dalton Wagoner]

Haha, tell me about it!

[L. Michelle Corp]

I felt genuine hunger for love, tenderness in this poem. Bear, you bared yourself in this. Chivalry; "One tear and I will walk away and leave you alone
One life and I give it to make you a happy home"
I thought chivalry was dead. I'm happy it's not. This was oh so beautiful, Bear. It made my heart beat faster.

[Bear]

You are to kind, as for chivalry I can not speak of the whole male gender, but it does make the search for love and affection less a game :~)

[Insight "MH"]

One word, is not enough to give this justice. ^_^

Thank you for sharing the priceless piece.

Insight.

[Bear]

My pleasure :~)
