Tethered To a Moment

Tethered to a moment, I won’t break free or give a different answer when I’m asked about the time most beautiful for me because in rapture that one night I basked! It was September. I’d turned seventeen. Tethered to a moment, I won’t break free. Not many things could make my heart careen. Romance I’d always yearned for came to be! His eyes, sweet chocolate, I always see when I recall the gaze I dipped into. Tethered to a moment, I won’t break free from kisses - pure ambrosia through and through. A time that magical cannot be gone. I resurrect it with my poetry. The boy was in my past, yet he lives on! Tethered to a moment, I won’t break free. Aug. 27, 2021 for Edward Ibeh's This Or That, Vol 6 Poetry Contest Title chosen: Tethered to a Moment
