This Love At First Sight

This love at first sight
Leaves my jaws pretty tight
Lips tremble despite the confusion so slight
I remain just calm to serve on right
But I see a night in broad daylight
I ask myself, is this fiction twilight
Or just shock or real fright

I have seen pretty, yes
Even prettier, but could care less
But this leaves in me a hot mess
I have had doubts, oh yes
But this one, I don’t second guess

I have seen cuter eyes
But yours took me by surprise
Your beautiful body terrifies
And I wonder who qualifies
To catch the left behind butterflies
Each time you glamorize
I can’t help myself fantasize

Your voice gives me a fetish
With you I want to be selfish
You for myself until I perish
Your absence leaves the anguish
Like I have you already in a mesh

I see a baby face
With look of innocence
Beyond age and any instance
If it were my preference
I would say, you are the essence
Of true love wrapped in an angel’s semblance

You are to me an eighth world wonder
Your absence makes my heart grow fonder
Yet your presence makes my world spin round
Faster a deal than it does, so my heart pound
Faster a deal than it does, so its beating sound
Weirder a deal than it does, I stomp the ground.
