Effervescent Fizz

an angel’s face a cherub’s heart 
a devil in blue jeans
her eyes say what lips may not 
with tender glance it seems

could I ever hope to want
what is so out of reach
what is it that she has 
I find so thoroughly complete

I stare in wonder
stand in awe 
before unfinished work
gaze upon a tranquil beauty
where only angels lurk

I wish I could identify 
that explosive additive
the special spark that’s hers alone 
and only hers to give

how different life would have been
if I had never met
this fascinating lady
first seen in silhouette

what I need, what I want 
and what I have to have
is not a passing fancy 
or a backward wayward glance

whatever happens, happens 
whatever shall be is
I thank the Lord he’s let me see 
her effervescent fizz
