Joseph May Poet Quatrain

One Way Street

When love is but a one way street
 One heart is bound to lose
 Two must tango to that beat
 And two must be enthused

 Sometimes the one that you adore
 May never know you do
 You leave them clues for sure
 But they simply just ignore you

 Sometimes the one that adores you
 Wonder why you never look their way
 For that one way street you knew
 Is shared by others too

Carolyn Devonshire March 29, 2017 at 3:31 PM This has happened not only to me, but to many people I know. It's rare when you find a couple whose feelings are returned. The one-way street becomes a dead end sometimes and it take a lot of resolve to walk away from a bad relationship. Your poem is very poignant, Joseph. A fave for me.

Andrea Dietrich March 22, 2017 at 6:27 PM such truth in this short wise poem!

Judy Ball March 22, 2017 at 5:35 PM Very true Joseph. Sometimes you think you have shown your feelings in a thousand different ways but they are so subtle that they are plain only to you. Great observation. God Bless, JB

Robert Pettit March 22, 2017 at 11:53 AM Good poetic explanation of the hardships of looking for that just right person.

Probir Gupta March 22, 2017 at 9:50 AM A nice write ... We do desire both way traffic of heartbeats ... Sometimes that doesn't happen ... And that is painful for all ...
