Best One Way Poems

Hills come alive with sweet sounds of birds whistling tunes
Filled with harmonious peace, you sail within time
Gentle whispering winds through branches of trees call

When you dare to take the first step forward
Everything feels so easy embracing such beauty 
Mixing voices of nature talk deeply flowering 

Thrown into the unknown life is truly magical
A universe inside feelings explode in one gift
The soul eclipsing delight warmed with sunshine rays

Like a virgin being on guard of the tiger claws, lions, bears and snakes
Only when your starlight kisses clouds evaporate 
Time continues and the butterfly waltzes freely once more

Crossing paths in this journey new beginnings grow
Small wild strawberries threaded upon a stem beg to taste
Opening one gateway within thoughts 

Setting sail into another world beyond 
With you salt of the ocean waves rise and fall
Upon rocks kissing pillar of strength

A cool breeze says goodbye upon your cheek
Loving spices land this boat on paradise sands where gold sparkles warm beams
When we meet at Heaven's gate batting lashes close entering a doorway into a dream

Premium Member Friendship Is No One Way Street - For Tim

In silence, your friendship is a sun to me,
Your warmth a shower to erase pain.

In you pain exists, something I cannot solve,
But in my warmth you can stay a while.

Just know that I am here for you,
For friendship is no one way street.

One Way Ticket ,Mussetle

I ride
on a night train
to dreams

Dreaming
of a journey
far off

Farther
into your heart
that bleeds

Bleeding
like a sunrise
at dawn

Dawning
into these eyes
with warmth

Warming
numb frozen tears
to melt

Melting
like icicles
in Spring

Spring's field
Where last whistles
blow slow

Premium Member One-Way Ticket To Midnight

Let the final countdown begin
Proxy war in Afghanistan
Saudi Arabia vs. Iran 
India vs Pakistan
Sunni vs Shia
The 38th divide of Korea 
China taking over the sea                     
As the US debt is skyrocketing
Militaries expand 
Droughts and famine in farmlands
Christian exodus from the middle east
Refugees from the lack of peace 
Annexations by Russia
No one screams in hysteria 
Pocket nukes are ok to use
Mankind has a short fuse
One, two, three, four, five
What to do to stay alive
To simplify, put your head between your legs
And kiss your *** goodbye
God, please hold our hand
The world is sinking in quicksand
Angry, greedy statesmen 
Sounding the drum of the horsemen
Artificial intelligence 
Climate change and mass surveillance
With two minutes left to midnight
Listen for the sound
Drop the beat, hit the ground
Dynamite as bright as daylight
Signaling for help with a flashlight
Playing the rave, igniting the night
The blasting wave, in the grave, later love 
Smitten with the fireworks above
The nuclear deterrent is gone
Nothing but an oxymoron
The plight of mankind fight
Cockroaches become the spotlight
As they write what happened at midnight

Premium Member 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

One Way Street In My Heart

Feeling a wee bit meloncoly, I must say
I alowed my mind to travel on avenues
that have been closed for repair for ages

Some have had dead end signs placed
others have had the same bumpy ride
as it did when it was first traveled

As many times as I have visited this old
very broken down street, why do I keep
comming back? Maybe as I approach 
the dead end, I am looking for which 
Detour sign I missed the first time

None the less, the path that takes
me there, will always remain the 
one way street in my heart..........

One Cross, One God, One Way

ONE CROSS, ONE GOD, ONE WAY


                              The Way of the cross is God's only way, to save a lost sinner from sin's eternal fate.  
                           The Passover lamb, God's perfect plan, to pay the debt of sin when God became man.

                                                                     One Cross, One God, One Way.

                            Messiah Yeshua, his cross he did bare, His cross was our cross, for our sins to us were
                                                                                        a snare.  

                                                                     One Cross, One God, One Way.  

                             The One God dressed as man, the One God who is *Echad I AM, who came to Israel's
                            land, to become the Passover lamb, who was, is and will be, who took us from the land
                                                                           of *Nod, to set us free.  

                                                                         By Rabbi Jacob Ben Avraham

                               *Echad = “ch” pronounced as “h” meaning “unity of ONE” “Tri-Unity” “Elohim”
                                                *Nod = Wandering without direction, aimlessly, the “way of Cain”.

Premium Member I Think One Way and Speak Another

I THINK you are Rude
I SAY you are Nice
I THINK you are Demanding
I SAY you are Understanding
I THINK I don't Love You
I SAY I Do
If I say one thing and SPEAK another does it make a difference?

Actions speak louder than words
A saying I thought was absurd
Till Mom showed the way
If I don’t obey
The paddle tells things went unheard

Premium Member Only One Way

There is only one way to see things...
 with an open mind and heart

 There is only one way to feel things...
 with an open mind and heart

 There is only one way to listen...
 with an open mind and heart

 There is only one way to live...
 with an open mind and heart

 There is only one way to love...
 with an open mind and soul

One-Way Ticket

Homeward bound, I had a one-way ticket,
Pleased; it was stashed safely in my pocket.
          Showed it at the counter,
          “Wrong route”, said the teller.
I should be at home to fly this ticket!

The One Way Ticket

Exciting thoughts of new beginnings 

chances, expectations, new creations,

Hopeful, joyful, ecstatic, mixed feelings

ability to propagate new generations,

Joining strangers with similar aims

Pioneers, explorers, adventurous stars,

physically fit humans, exceptional brains,

Pilgrims ready to colonise plant Mars,

fame, respect, that will be bestowed 

upon all from Earths world leaders,

another life, another exciting episode 

to feed minds of astronomy readers,

replenish a planet that's so arid, red,

Inhabitable, undesirable, unforgiving 

planet without atmosphere totally dead,

thoughts turn to things He'd be missing,

no longer an Earthling, become a Martian, 

never again to see Mother Earths beauty 

her seasons, become a displaced person

must realise the importance, it's his duty,

but never to see his loved ones ever again

only memories, photographs, minds images,

will he survive this ordeal or will He just go insane 

living in discomfort without any privileges.

if recruited must accept with grace and pride 

with knowledge that he's able, he can do it,

fears, concerns, despair, nowhere to hide,

understanding, this is a one way ticket.

Premium Member One Way Or the Other

When a person promotes abortion
telling nothing but lies surely that in itself is a direct product of hate speech 
The cloak and dagger of pity 
reality has many masks behind a veil of masked deception
hiding dark secrets, those afraid to be revealed transparency 
attacking honesty as having little value or purity 
When this awakening happens some poor souls are lost 
beyond saving trapped by the deceiver preaching untruths and misery 
Incapable of loving forgiveness 
instead they become a troublesome bully 
guilty condemning everything right 
in favour of what is wrong with society today
The great depression has consumed many hearts unlawfully
with warlike views it is here we see criminals attacking 
the virtues of life and death the very cornerstone of faith
There is no middle ground to be examined in this subject at hand 
your either one way or the other, according to the Word of God
I am a sinner forgive me my shortfalls
because in the end we all wish to go to the promised land
some things need to be said because the weeds of fascism is growing, smothering the innocent from speaking forthwith
the state has formed a new church teaching children to be poor within spirit
