Balcony and fire escape are equally romantic: One a deck for declaring devotion, The other a ladder for fleeing flame Or lover. Each is an eye fringed with Wrought iron, an escape route, a treacherous Way to climb back in.
Balconies are now (in my tiny little opinion) so classic, so symbolic and iconic of romance so as make their romance somewhat obsolete, or 'taken'. Escape/Exits on the other hand. To climb into someone's heart through the back door, them unknowing until suddenly their pulse is in their throat and their life is guided by unseen love... now that is something to mull over...
hmmmm. I had to think about this one.
