Staircase of Love

At the bottom of the stairs is where we first met,
I inch up to where we started talking
And where things got flirtatious

Slowly I crept to where we exchanged numbers,
Our conversations get longer and longer
I  pull up my dress destined to make it
To the top of the staircase of love
Because of the prince that waits for me

Halfway there... I look up and smile into your big brown eyes
And I stop dead in my tracks
Just to catch a glimpse of you

I start back up again...
half nervous, half excited
Knowing where this staircase ends
And where I want a certain part of my life to begin
On this staircase of love

I finally reach the top
And my hearts flutters
Because I know this is where I'm suppose to be...
With you...
On this staircase of love

I like the metaphor of a staircase to describe a budding relationship. Because you have to take steps in order to reach the goal of being with someone. That was a great metaphor, but the poem isn't finished yet. Walking up a big staircase can be tiring, you should add the trails and tribulations the speaker faces as she takes the steps toward reaching her lover. Just an Idea.

Very nice. The topic of love has been treated in so many ways in poetry...a staircase was unique and well-thought. Great job Ms. Bradley
