Silent Shoes

Of all my captivations 

yours has held far longer,

and most mesmerising.

 

 If I could do more than simply sigh 

and let the ambience flow through these words,

surely a grander conduit is called for

than this simple pen?

 

Alas, captivations caught in penmanship 

have no essence in permeating Ideas 

or moving emotions when kept

in a shoebox

in the dark

under the bed.

Indeed you may  have more Beavis, perhaps you could assist?  This piece has plauged me for a while the last section of the last verse is lacking... I can not seem to find a satisfactory end.

small notion: Poem is perfect

small notion: Poem is perfect as it is. But, changing "moving emotions" to "wearing (unspoken) emotions" picks up theme of shoes. Just a thought.  ~~A~~
