Harlequin

I put on my finest and set it in my mind, to win your precious heart. I took great pain and effort my best to you to impart. Then I came before you, to laly my treasures at your feet . I sang to you sweet love songs and wrote your poetry. I bowed down before you on bended knee. Alas you paid no notice, and from my presence you did flee. Now at a distance I behold you earnestly. Your beauty is so radiant, your spirit strong and free. I gasp as I glance at the revelation I see. Now I've made a vow to myself and burned it in my mind, to never give up, to somehow get it right. I'll come to you at day break, at mid-day there I'll be, I'll come to you at midnight and sneak into your dreams. I'll never wain or grow weary of seeking after thee. Perhaps I'll never win you, this might surely be, but I'll never give up. I'll always be the fool in love with thee.

Yes, fools rush in--however he has spent many days trying to win her heart. He knows his love for her now, it's true. I loved this poem, it spoke to me of past women that I've longed for...I mostly dreamed about them but it seemed so real.
