Best Pairs Poems

Two pairs of shoes beside the bed.
Mine are tiny, his large instead.

His are steel toed, sandals are mine.
His dull and dark, but mine have shine.

Opposites yes, just like our shoes.
When I'm happy, he has the blues.

My secret to brighten his mood...
A large rare steak, his...

Fashion hound, that I am
I have shoes for every occasion
One black pair of Adidas
Probably made by some East Asian

I only have one pair of feet
Why would I need two pairs of shoes?
I can only wear one pair at a time
Besides, I'm easily confused

Should you ever...

I have inside my wardrobe many clothes
composed of dresses, blouses, slacks and tops,
and as the number of these items grows,
so does my footwear. Lord, it never stops!

I’m not too good at throwing stuff away
except for things from when I was size nine!
So I can change...

My two pairs of shoes can't be beat.
I have the best strut on the street.
I don't put on airs
but still need two pairs
to put on my two pairs of feet....

Boobs are usually found hanging out in pairs
Seeing one without the other is really quite rare
They're kinda quirky
Brown noses so perky
Hanging so proudly smelling the fresh air...

Two Pair of Shoes

My Loafers wandered out one day
when I (too lazy) chose to stay
home alone and drink Bombay,
one evening in the Spring

They came upon a pair of Heels
that walked the streets in sexy squeals
composed of skin from river eels,
one evening in the Spring

They danced...

So your ex has 63 pairs of shoes
Nice but she doesn’t have you
Rather have you than 63 pairs of nothingness
Bored, divorced, waiting for the next sounds meaningless
I’ll take 63 pairs of you
That’s 63 times the value
Of a strong black man, an omen of things to...

Two pairs of scuffed sports shoes
Remain where they were kicked off on the bedroom floor
Never to be worn again

Two brothers playing football in heaven
But their footwear remains here on earth
As do their broken hearted parents

I wonder about the supplier of the drugs that killed them...

In the shadow of the northern light
We stay indoors and bundled tight
Never even leave the house at night
For fear of freezin' to death

I want to go with you away someplace
Where the air doesn't hurt my face
We'll live like members of the human race
Where we don't...

I got a pair for casual wear
and the salesman sold me another
for formal wear like romantic dates,
and job interviews
knowing I had just graduated and
had a beautiful girlfriend.

I've been working two shift jobs
paying down student loans
and credit card debt.
And my girlfriend left town
with a rich man
soon...

I am an antediluvian lone soul
Where does my life’s love roam?
I need it to board the boat
I need it to create home...

one is not enough
two is infinity found
pairs are plausible...

The pain rots me inside, like cracks in the pavement.
Home movies bring rusty old memories into focus.
As if she would become a new and improved model.
All the upgrades aren’t necessary, I loved her before.
The way god made her. Exactly. I loved her the same.
These looks...

Two pairs of shoes




As solitude 
gripped me tight,
Heart ached in anguish
and I gasped for sigh ...
Everything lay still.

But then I could 
rise and shine,
In tender blush of dawn
as I woke up to find ...
Two pairs of shoes 
at my door.

One pair of shoes walk down the street,
walking fast towards the girl next door.

Next door, just one pair of shoes sit in her house, 
they barely get worn, unlike her socks.

Her pair of socks are pacing upstairs,
waiting for his shoes to arrive.

One pair of shoes...
