Hey...so the prompt that my school's Creative Writing Club put out was to write the cheesiest love poem in lieu of Valentine's Day. I didn't achieve the "cheesy" part (meaning I probably WON'T share it anywhere else but here) and it's fairly short, but I like it somewhat, despite my apathy towards most things sentimental.
This Poem
Let this poem be our first date
Full of the greenness and stiff formality I promise to bring
Peeking across the table of a diner
Staring at my meal as intensely as I do your eyes,
A heaven, a smooth baby blue, and you, it’s angel.
I mumble and stumble and crumble over my words,
Nonsense about bands and school and whatever else my faulty mind might conjure
All while my heart, aflame, shrieks a stirred,
“Kiss him.
Kiss him.”
Let this poem be our second date
The dark of the movies and the smell of popcorn in your breath
Forming a heart-shaped sigh as you wrap your arms around me
And suddenly, I’m safe from the screen and whatever life throws at me.
I’m transported away from the fake lives I reluctantly paid 7.50 to witness
And here, home, within the truth that is your stalwart soul.
Let this poem be the three-month celebration of our promise to be for each other.
And the 6 month
And the year, too,
Repeated gifts of flowers and gift cards
Material things that could never replace a second of time
In those 3 months
The 6 months
The year
That I’ve had with you.
Laughing along with you.
Crying into your soft jacket while your hands,
Graceful weavers of hope,
Caress my troubled head.
Let this poem be our wedding day,
The white flowers and satin tie hanging onto your chest,
Straining, holding on tight to your neck to hear our vows.
Let it be the promise to you that I will be faithful and true
As I stumble, looking into your eyes so blue,
And you rush into a kiss before the priest says we may
Let this poem be this Valentine’s Day
When I finally admit, cards and candy in tow,
My heart and wishes wrapping it all with a thin silver bow, that
I want to adore you
Endlessly.
