Love Poem: Jester

Jester

Love is like the sun,
Is this saying true?
Then crushes are like the moon,
This I believe do you?

I blushed at your every movement,
To be honest I stalked.
Reminiscing every little moment,
Shared in every little place.

Your long legs I do admire,
Eyes as fine as wine.
Lips as pink as roses,
Fingers long and slender.

Sometimes in my dreams you appear,
Other times in nightmares you come.
But thoughts of you light me up,
Full of bliss I become.

To you am shy to talk.
Over you do I swoon.
Sometimes forgetting how to walk,
Making myself a complete fool.

I daydream of you,
In our own love paradise,
Laying in your embrace,
Being showered with gentle caresses.

My girlfriends  tell me its not love,
That it is childish infatuation.
But I call them liars,
And always walk away.

I sing songs with your name,
In my head obviously,
Even formed a ship name,
JESTER to represent our love.

But sometimes I get caught up,
That I often forget ,
That this is one sided,
That you don't even know I exist. 

I hope you notice me one day, 
I pray my first kiss is you.
And my heart will finally be calm 
And my mind as clear as day.
