1/1/11

One

One love
One life
One singular sensation
This one goes out to the one I love.

One love
One heart
One part, be my lover.
One part, go away.

One night with you.
One night in Bangkok
And the world’s your oyster
We got only one night.

One day at a time.
It’s been one week
Since you looked at me.
 All I ever wanted was a one life stand.

One time, one time.
Will you be the only one?
One smile and suddenly
Nobody else will do.

One/One/One One
One, not two or three
One is the loneliest number
You can ever be.

    You will never, EVER, be ONE. As long as I'm around, you are at LEAST two.

    Omg, "One Night In Bangkok"! I love that song! No idea why, really. Now I'm going to have to dig it out of my collection and play it. :-)

    One isn't such a lonely number after all! Love your inspiration -- the music and the day!

    That was one helluva sweet poem!! And the days also happened to be one when I celebrated my birthday :)
    "All I ever wanted was a one life stand." -- I loved this one line the most... it spoke of a much longed for permanence... very nicely written!
    You are one of a kind, Patti... with an awesome way with words!!! Kudos, my friend! And a very happy new year to you!! (not one, but MANY hugs)

    I agree with Janice. A clever poem and a creatively clever poem at that bundled up with desires and dreams....

    Happy New Year Patti.
