You called my name.
Red is for love.
Red is for life.
I slip you on,
tie you tight.
Smiles spread,
over my face.
Walk together,
at even pace.
Stop to look,
it's not a race.
Sun above,
ground below,
we are close as anyone,
you know.
You love me,
you hold me,
I am yours,
my sneaker love.
Red is for love,
a love I adore.
Be with me,
evermore.
Great poem. I love the photo!
ReplyDeletesmiles...cute verse and i hope that love sticks with you...love the canvas shoes too...have a few pair myself...
ReplyDeleteAhhh! This is without doubt a 'glow-in-the-heart' poem. I love the idea of 'even pace' and 'not a race' because to me that's what long-term love is like and I do enjoy positive poetry that uplifts the spirit. Thanks for sharing.
ReplyDelete"Stop to look,
ReplyDeleteit's not a race." Love this ... a good love is not a 100 yard dash ... it's a marathon :)
the only thing better... a pair of old slippers... a love that last's a life time... LOL... cute write
ReplyDeleteSuch a fun verse, I'm now red with delight from reading red..haha
ReplyDeleteMm, "my sneaker love", reminds me of getting red shoes in grade school and sleeping with them beside my bed.
ReplyDeleteChucks! love
ReplyDeleteCharming and whimsical piece that plays on a lot of levels. Shoes are such a very personal thing.

I love poems about shoes -especially red shoes - I have one too. Reminds me of Paolo Nutini's New Shoes song. It always brings me a smile.
