Enraptured

In memories of youth, love's tender grace,
A boy I cherished, time's embrace let slip,
Where moments froze, in an enchanted space,
And heart's sweet melody danced on love's tip.

Eternal hours, in his eyes, I'd find,
A universe that only we two knew,
In stillness, lost, our spirits intertwined,
In that suspended time, our love it grew.

The world around us faded, distant, dim,
As if the universe had held its breath,
Each stolen glance, a treasure to us prim,
In that suspended time, no fear of death.

Though years have passed, those moments yet endure,
Love's timeless sanctuary, sweet and pure.

Luna, your imagery and rhythm captured my imagination. 'Where moments froze, in an enchanted space'. Oh, to be young again. Great poem. Have a blessed day.

Such a delightful sonnet Luna of sweet, innocent love. I particularly like the ending couplet,’Love’s timeless sanctuary, sweet and pure’. Just lovely! Really enjoyed it and it brings back reminiscing memories of past youthful, carefree days. Thank you for sharing.
