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
