Best Stairs Poems

Sitting at the top of the stairs
Reflecting on my life
Looking at the bottom
Of the stairs
A place I used to be and know
I realize how far I've come
And far there is left to go.

It was always three steps forward
Two steps back
Uphill everyday
Carrying a heavy
Troubled filled sack
Struggling...

The shadows beneath the stairs is what I believed to be my hell. 
There I was, countless nights, too injured to show my
true face. If only I had been loved instead of being damaged.
I sat there. I cried...

Living in a house very old,  
it was always drafty and cold.  
Metal stairs to the basement lead,  
from an old pirate's ship they said.  
Was this story really told?  


On the ship many were sick~dead,  
did they all...

naked together
you clothe me in the fabric of your desire
all the while soothing my want
your lips part and make a smile 
and i die. i die inside. i die inside and out
time moves too quickly
before i know it you leave
all left is a covered memory...

Climbing Stairs

Resolve won’t do it
anymore.  Used to be
a deep breath and
a closed fist could
scale anything.

Should have exercised more.

My time will come to rest,
When I get over there.
My labor will be over,
When I climb those golden stairs.

So I will patiently await
My call to come upstairs.
I’ll work and trust in God-
The one who hears my prayers....

A man once had to climb the mountain of truth to discover his fountain of youth, with hopes of finding greatness in false truths but he found it in you, when opportunity knocks sometimes we don't even bother to look through the peephole, but yet...

If the cupboard under the stairs could talk
I wonder what it would say
Would it tell me of those who hid in it
When there was rent to pay

What about the poor frightened child
Back in nineteen forty 
Locked inside it for hours at a time
Just for being...

Life's journey is the climbing of stairs to heaven door
entering returns peace, joy, and harmony to your spirit
as the journey of life ends, you have another to explore  
As with the circle of life you start the climb full in spirit



My perception of heaven...

Down the stairs






Swirling in air
when my hair stuck
off stairs I rolled.

Mountain 

No sherpa, rope
Or faithful steed
In stocking feet
I do proceed 

Each day I climb
Relentless slope
To rest my weary head
And hope 

That once the peak
Of my desire
To elevated place
Aspire 

Concludes. 

No flag or 
Selfie pose will take
No Instagram.
No front page stake. 

Just me.
To hear the lost...
