Once upon a time in the kingdom of Candy Cyclone
stood Prince Antonio wishing upon a
amber shooting star for a date with Princess Felicia,
who's dimples melted him like chocolate.
Princess Felicia was a ravishing beauty
with long silky spun-gold hair and those
pacific ocean blue eyes lit his soul ablaze.
But she was shy, skittish, bashful
having been hurt in the past,
especially from her blasted ex-boyfriends
which had shattered her fairy-tale dreams
of happily-ever-after's and the idealism of true happiness....
Princess Felisha wished upon that same star,
but her heavy-heart was much more simplistic than Antonio's
for all she wished for was to
talk with him, get to know him better, acquire trust, be friends,
and travel the world of hope,
whether it worked out or not she'd craved
to dance in the waltz of friendship.
Goddess Aphrodite was in charge of the stars
that moonlit night and with the sprinkle of magic
she granted their wish.
With a clash of thunder Prince Antonio was standing before
Princess Felisha, but she was too scared and nervous
to engage him in conversation,
but Prince Antonio had dreamt of this moment
for what felt like an eternity
and start to chatter with his fair beauty.
Conversation starting with a low humm
and turned into a sweet rhythmic song,
but her broken cherry heart was far too fragile
to dive right in, but she did begin to slowly
open up to him like a blooming flower.
Prince Antonio took his time
since she was fragile with vulnerability
and in the transition from being
friends to courting when her sour-patch tears
would trickle down her soft face,
he'd wipe her tears away with a caress,
loan her his ears, arms, and was there for her.
With his sincere love and her mended heart
beneath that very shooting star
that had bought them together
is where their first kiss of love took place.
