Student Poetry: I know it’s a cliche day for a proposal.. by ANONYMOUS

I know it’s a cliche day for a proposal
When cupid wields his bow and arrow,
Strikes the ones who are destined to be
Entangled with a red string of fate
Tying two souls, yet setting them free

I know it’s stupid to hope,
“Too good to be true”
But yet I still yearn
For a love like that too

Eros and Psyche had their happy ending,
Romeo and Juliette suffered
But at the end of the day
They still shared the greatest love, did they not?

Their hearts sung with joy
Though the melodies did not persist
But for that moment of bliss
Wouldn’t you give it all too?

Oh, how I wonder,
What it’s like to be truly loved,
For my heart to be so full
Brimming with pure serenity
Glowing so bright it could burst

I want a story out of fairy tales
Where there’s a prince with a dark curls
With a strong princess who looks frail;
Somewhere in the midst of their adventures
They fall in love,
Ever so enamoured
Their devotion like a dove

Two souls forever bound,
Deeper than tree roots can reach into the soil 
To plant their feet to their homeland
Nurtured by the rich ground

And when the earthly enchantment crumbles
They disperse like stardust into the darkness of night
But they have no worry
For they will continue to dance among the stars
Glowing brighter than the flurry
Of a million galaxies combined

I know it’s a cliche day for a proposal
When couples exchange bouquets of red and kisses on nose tips blushed pink,
I’ll stand to the side with a small saccharine smile
And wonder, when will my turn come? Will it ever be me?

How long until my prince offers me his gloved hand?
Until I have my ever-after,
Is there really someone out there
A secret admirer
Watching from afar with reverent eyes of mirth?

I know it’s stupid to hope,
“Too good to be true”
But yet I still yearn
For a love like that too
