Love Ado

Once upon a time Princess Lillian was flying
in her blimp to sail the skies
to see cotton-soft clouds....
But Baby Cupid was sitting amongst
the ivory clouds playing with
his bow and arrow....
When all of a sudden
the arrow ripped and shot
the blimp with the speed of light...
The blimp popped....
Magic fell from the arrow into Lillian....
And towards the ground she went.
Sebastian was chillin' on a park bench
when Princess Lillian fell to the ground
and her eyes danced with love
when looking into his.
Love sparkled her spirit
and she wrapped on her dress
with dainty grace
before she sat next to him.
Sebastian was startled and concerned.
He looked into her violet eyes
and inquired, "Are you okay dear?"
Lillian gazed at him,
twirled her hair on her finger,
and replied, "With you here I couldn't be better."
Sebastian was shocked at her response,
but it was time for him to get back to work
and got to leave.
Princess Lillian was head-over-heels in love.
Hearts fluttered from her eyes to her toes.
She decided to follow him wherever he may go.
Sebastian was too busy talking on his cell phone
to notice Lillian following him
with petals of daffodils thrown before his every step,
every puddle covered with her blanket,
and an umbrella protecting him from drizzles of rain.
Thunder crackled the sky...
Rain began to pour...
Lightening struck a pine tree....
Sebastian was oblvious to Princess Lillian
trying to help him,
but managed to get back to work.
Unfortunately, Lillian, stumbled
over the tree and whacked her head
with a thud.
Her secret admirer, Prince Salem, oversaw
the mishap and went to her aid
with a helping hand.
He had been talking walk
through the park without her
love sick eyes noticing him
and didn't understand why
she'd been acting so strangely.
She's not like he knew her
or she knew him
or he appreciated the effort
she putting forth to assist him.
Heck, he didn't know the power
of her smile, laughter, or
beauty of her soul?!
Baby Cupid had been secretly
watching the dilemma unfolding
in the park, but he was only a baby
and couldn't fix the broken arrow.
Princess Lillian had whacked her head so hard
she began to see stars sparkling
with a black background.
Prince Salem noticed that look
and with a kiss only a true love
could provide gave her
a butterfly kiss with
the passion to not only heal her,
but break the spell.
Princess Lillian looked into Prince Salem's eyes
as though seeing him for the first time
and the magic of their love
fixed Cupid's arrow.
