This poem referrs to “ My Shoes Are In Love” by Ross Sutherland.
Even though my shoes
always seem to be
so romantically belonging
and
similar to each other,
I have the soft-footed
hunch,
that they desperately try
to escape
from each other,
cause every time I walk
outside the door
they cannot bear it
to be on the floor
at the same time.
And thats
what keeps me walking
and walking
and walking.

perhaps does love not necessarily mean to always be together?
perhaps your shoes are just following each other, following the same pathway but respecting the space between them to grant their lover the freedom he needs to come back to them at the end of the day? 😉
This poeom will walk all over you
I really like your thought, Karen. Probably it even makes more sense than my poem does. 🙂 Maybe they love and try to escape from each other at the same time. But shoes are made to stay with each other, they are actually the same, the only dfference is that the one is left and the other one-they reflect each other like there would be a mirror between them. But they didn`t choose their love, so maybe they realize after a while that they don`t want to be with each other?
sorry, of course the other one is right. And to Lilly- I like the idea
Hi I liked this a lot! I like the image of walking presented as each shoe, trying to escape the other. They are always together, but always trying to break apart, creating perpetual motion. I know a lot of relationships like this! – Ross Sutherland
