Bewitching red rose
                         and its sharp thorny stems
                         Laments failed lover...

But already forgot her trivial name.

CHATTING




Talking to God or talking to a baby
The chat is one sided and no reply
But it’s as much about what he hears
As what he says...

So boy keep your mouth shut,
don't tell em anything,
cos if you do you will be judged,
one sided stories bring,
an end to happiness....

There was a pirate from Limerick

Who had a hook on a wooden stick

He stole with one hand

Now it’s contraband

Sold by a one-eyed Bolshevik...

No answers given
Oblivious to your plot

Removing your love
Exiting my life
Avoiding questions
Silence
One sided pain
No thoughts of me
Silence...

News here being one-sided fluff
Undressed Xi’s persona as tough
Damning us he’ll propose
Ending exports of clothes
Showing us new life in the buff

What do you know about
One sided love
It makes us fearless
to lose our lover
As we know
Our lover is not kind to us
But we do everything
To make our lover happy...

Though I loved you with my heart and soul
To face the truth would cause me pain
I don’t know when love goes cold
What I do know it hurts
Though love was there
One sided
Cannot
Live...

OLD&NEW
a one-sided love affair
ends in despair..
A testament of promise-
of faith..so little trace

An offer to all
to turn back,the call..
A testament of life-
by a sacrifice..of grace...

Listen to poem:

Swords have two sharp edges.
Knives have two, one is sharp,
the other blunt, till honed.
Cliffs like blades are 
one-edged glades, stoned.
But on edge, on a ledge
and stoned,
it's one-sided....

Her kiss reached his lips?
Single tick turned double blue.
One sided love wilts

Your words are like riddles
Complex to understand
but there's more behind it
that not everyone sees
It's a one-sided mirror
that shows only what you play
It it good or is it bad?
that's the quest...

In the beginning
There was only us
No neutral force tempting us to lay in bed
Together
We don't though
And that upsets Hades the most-
Loving
Without
Love
Always being
One-sided
Hurts more than you think...

I put you on a pedestal;
You take me down a notch.
I love you with an aching heart,
You know it never stops.
You are my one my only,
You probably have a few.
Well, today, I think I’ll say
I really don’t need you....

Kindergarten logic twists narrative indoctrinating the young 
in how to tell their parents to behave at home 
threatening such behaviour turns against family values 
in favour of this one sided view that alters the truth...

infatuation
         hides
            a desire:
a grand
           folly
this
      drama,
a   craving..
unacknowledged..
       passion
          perverted,
in form
and volume..
a one-sided
         wish....
            unfulfilled...

I pretend to know of love
when in truth I do not know,
however many times I've
neared the touch of love
so many times one sided
either from me or from her.
And so with these debacles faced
I have begun to stop believing in..
no, I cannot dare say that....

Here’s to Möbius and his strip.

Like some attitudes, it is a circuitous

one sided trip!

© 2010 John M.Trusty

*For the Grook contest. Dedicated to A.F.Möbius (et al) and the attitude of some people, 
which will never be as fascinating as his strip....

I dreamt of you
And a thousand thoughts 
Came searing 

It's been some time 
But this madness persists
And it's jarring 

A one-sided delusion
With pangs of pain
At your intrusion 

Too tempted to regret 
Yet with all my strength 
I would rather forget...
