Best Pop The Question Poems


Fairy Tale

A glittering glowing vision,
When you walk into the room,
Sparkles here,
Rose petals there,
Aroma filling the air,
A sweet vanilla,
With a touch of cinnamon,
Bubbles in the bath tub,
Filled up to the rim,
Candles lit on the sides,
Champagne in crystal glasses,
All beautifully waiting, 
Just in the other room,
Walking further in,
The significant other on one knee,
Going to pop the question,
Wish for you to be with thee,
Tears fall from your eyes,
As you want to say yes,
But everythings all of a sudden,
Why couldn't it just wait?
A deep breath,
And a leap of faith,
The words that comes out is a yes,
While they sweep you off your feet,
In this fair tale,
Of old school,
Never before,
Defeat.....

The Proposal

he stood alone in the darkness
just outside her door
he stood alone in the darkness
would he be alone for evermore ?

tonight he'd pop the question,
tonight he would propose
tonight he'd ask her to marry
this woman, his gentle, tiny rose

he took the ring from his pocket,
and knelt upon one knee
he would propose right there, 
for all the world to see.

frightened, he rang the doorbell
the world was quiet as a mouse
slowly the door opened,
Aw crap ! its the wrong bloody house !

Premium Member It's Not Me, It's You

It’s not me, it’s you…
I say this to you and bid adieu.
I should have known your profile was too charming.
Don’t propose on the first date, it’s disarming!

Live a little and have some fun.
Don’t pop the question before it’s begun.
I almost fell out of my chair when you proposed.
Maybe it was the wine that left you predisposed.

So I say again, it’s not me, it’s you…
You scared me off before the meal was through.
My ex proposed to me on the first date too…
It was déjà vu… and now it’s adieu to you!

Count First

So you're too cool to finish up high school.
consider that no one will hire a fool.
Count first.

You might be fine with selling fries and burgers.
Take some classes, sell some bigger orders.
Count first.

Before you cut along the penciled line,
Get out your ruler, measure one more time--
Count first.

Before you cook your specialty times three
Make an ingredients inventory.
Count first.

You won't impress that pretty girl so fine
If you can't pay the bill for wine and dine.
Count first.

Before you finally pop the question,
Give her an honest evaluation.
Count first.

If you want a newly-wed apartment,
Think smaller--there is a big down payment.
Count first.

You covet a car with high performance.
Can you even afford car insurance?
Count first

Before buying a new high-tech gadget,
Is there enough in the household budget?
Count first.

When maneuvers are in the planning stage,
Before you commit to a shell barrage.
Count first.

Before overdoing your Santa Clause,
Can you pay the rent?  Read the fine print clause..
Count first.

Before you walk up to the Pearly Gates,
What's on your conscience--ask before too late.
Count first.

Maybe If I Was a Boy

Maybe if I was a boy, things would be better,
Maybe if I was a boy, when I feel hurt my eyes wouldn’t get wet,
I’d just relax after being upset.
I’d have so many girls I wouldn’t know which one to text,
Don’t wanna seem like a bad person but all I’d need is sex,
And if her personality is good then I’d treat her like my queen,
I wouldn’t rush for her to get in my sheets,
Then after she’s eighteen
I’d get down on my knees,
Then I’d pop the question “Will you marry me?”

Heaven On Earth Extended

For all its worth
How many heavens on earth?
I pop the question
Answer me
For all its worth
Creation, importance growth
Right here in this heaven
Right here on this Earth
Speak good, do good
For all its worth
Isn't this heaven
Right here on this earth?
Explore, discover, and the joy
Will bring you more
Heaven
Right here on this earth
For all its worth
Good deeds, fresh feeds
Filling the needs
Of family, friends and foes
Right here in heaven
Right here on this earth
For all its worth
Desperation, destitution, no resolution
Diverse arguments, increased confusion
No fixes, no facts, failure to act
Cry your need and your heart will bleed
Right here in this heaven
Right here on this earth.
For all its worth
Prostitution, enslavement, 
confinement and traverse
The hell hole, dung hole
No pardon, pure sore
The the knocking on the door
Right here in heaven, 
right here on earth
For all its worth
No pacification, only victimization
And then criticize 
the triers, bystanders
And the afflicted souls
That bites the bullets
In perilous goals
For all its worth
Right here in this heaven
Right here on this earth


Death of the Future

Years to grow a pear tree
Groom it
Water it

Dreams of sending it to college
Rites of passage
First Dates
Learning to drive 

Pop the question

But the pear tree dries up and dies
No seedlings to prove that it was mine

one man’s reality ~ is but another chimpanzee mimicry 

Monoku quote by poet


Foremost on my mind today
is much the same as yesterday,
but not quite!

A nuanced imperceptibly has taken place

What say!

The cosmos has grown by one light day 

Far out!

Very far out, 
beyond the observable horizon of space 
where there is no space 
our bubble grows,

No way!

Well in fact every way 
stretching in all directions
onwards, outwards, upwards,
downwards, backwards, and inwards 

Inwards, how do?

To the point of where it began!
Oh the Big Bang?
Yes!
I mean no!

Because actually there was no bang 
as sound-waves cannot 
travel through space 
The biggest bang ever 
was absolutely silent!

Just shocking!

Hush now
this is going nowhere!

Well actually, it is going somewhere!
expanding billions of miles every second 

Goddamm!

So what’s the point? 
Exactly what is the point?
You mean, you don’t get it!
I think I get it, 
I do get it!
There is no point!
Yes you really do get it!
Sorry to burst your bubble 

Pop!!

Hey!
What?
What if the universe bursts its own bubble?

Oh that would just be 
a Big Rip
Every particle in space would be ripped
back into its primordial plasmatic state

Like a Big Bang in reverse?
Pretty much so!

Wow!

You mean 
You mean?
Say it go on!
You mean, we do it all over again?
Yes!

Pop!!

You’re an idiot!

I know,
so are you!!!

Revelation: Curtain Call

Revelation
 
As I began to write, my mind paces back and forth;
With comprehension comes thoughts of discernment, henceforth;
Vivid pictures of togetherness, flashes before my eyes;
An epiphany reminds one "blindness was unwise";
Through ignorance we misconstrue intentions of sincerity;
As I reminisce, your touch was truly a rarity:
From here on, sweet love and care is the way onwards
No more fights, romance shall be straightforward;
Visions of you and I, so crystal clear;
Your unconditional love visible through a tear;
Through endless worries i can feel your pain;
Try to understand, we ain't all the same;
The only girl in the world, my expression to you;
Dreams of eternity nothing more than true;
To your hearts content, I will please you like no other, my way;
Talking, holding or loving you each and every day;
Actions speak louder than words so here I am on bended knees;
I pop the question with a nerve raking please;
These aren't just words nor is it flirtation;
Baby girl, forever more as my wife is the revelation;

Could'Ve Been (My Baby Daddy)

4/14/02



You asked me one day if it would be okay if we could consecrate our love
I told you that I was still a virgin and that my stuff was precious to me from above
At this point in our relationship you told me that you loved me
At least one time you did decree
Several times throughout we kissed, we fondled one another
You were such a gentlemen and you said you understood my brotha
And that me being a virgin wasn’t a bother
It’s been six long years, these days baby that’s a long time
One day you took it upon yourself to pop the question about love sublime
“DID I EVER TELL YOU THAT YOU WOULD BE THE ONE
THAT WOULD DEVIRGIN-IZE MY BEHIND AND PLACE ME UNDER THE GUN”
You begged and you pleaded for just a little squeeze
Just to let you smell my nature, you said: “PLEASE BABY PLEASE”		
I gave into you and said just a little peek but you must not tell cause,
This is on the down-low you know on the sneak
You tipped right on through
You tickled me, you wiggled you moved all about. It was oh so sensual 
I never felt anything so emotion-felt, in all my days
I began moving about in many, many ways and at this point my virgin-est behind
Wanted to know how the un-virgin lays
He moaned than I, as he tried entering my anatomy, he made me yell out and cry
I don’t need no baby daddy right now, I’m to young
My mom and dad would die
He stuck his tongue into my ear, then licked me down as he began to lie
He said: baby girl believe me when I say this; I’m a man not a boy
I take full responsibility for all this joy
I’m not ready to be your baby daddy
That’s when I said: “BOY DON’T BE COY”!
He said I got protection for me and you,
Now let’s get down to the business at hand, 
“You know I love you Boo”!
I knew I had love for this brotha, but what I wasn’t sure of is,
If what we had between the two of us was enough to become a father and a mother
All of a sudden something clicked; that’s when I belted out:
“GET UP OFF OF ME, SLICK”
Get you lying tail off me, quick! 
I remember you now, you’re the joe-blow who’s face was plastered on
America’s most wanted
The most wanted dead-beat dad, labeled low-class!
He hemmed then hawed, trying t get back in, buut my still virgin behind got my head on
straight  to continue with my dignity and grin.

We Want

We want bigger homes
And a smaller family.
   We want mountain tops and
Flowers in the valley.

   We want more convenience,
We have less time.
   We all have our hills and
Mountains to climb.

   We want more degrees, 
But no common sense.
   We want things to change,
Yet, we are on the fence.

   We want more knowledge,
We have less judgement.
   We have more crime, 
A glutton for punishment.

   We want more experts, yet we
Create bigger problems.
   We expect what we plant
To blossom.

   We want more medicine,
But we're less healthy.
   Everyone is getting fat,
But the wealthy.

   We have been to the moon
And back.
   We have lost our way,
On the wrong track.

   We built more computers to
Hold more information.
   To make conversation, we open
More lines of communication.

   We want more quantity,
We get less quality.
   We want equal rights, yet 
Deal with equality.

   We want a variety of fast foods,
We have slow digestion.
   We want the first date 
To pop the question.

   We want to be taller, 
We are short on character.
   We want to meet new people,
Yet there is a barrier.

   We want more profits, yet we
Have shallow relationships.
   We want more friends,
But we have fewer partnerships.

   Our garages are full, 
Our homes are empty.
   We want it to be colder, 
We become more sweaty.

Premium Member To Kneel Down

I'd propose to you, but my knees are shot
   To kneel down hurts me a lot

Anyway, what I'd rather do 
   is pop the question with my arms around you

Premium Member Pop the Question

Your eyes shine like diamonds
    your teeth gleam like pearls
  Your nose so refined
    your hair graced with curls

  I love your soft skin
    and the silky shape it's in
  So, darling, it's time to pop the question ~
    Why's your breath scare me to death?

Premium Member Engagement Night

We carpooled every day
I was in love, what can I say?
It was far too good to be true!
She was so beautiful to view!
She was like heaven to touch
I wanted to hold her so much!
But I was driving so had to wait
Until that night on our next date!
I thought a while to find a way
To pop the question and hear what she’d say
She said yes, and that was the start
Of many wonderful years, “be still my heart”!!
