Tethered To a Moment

With just one glance her enchanting smile won Cadence of his heart crooning: she was the one And fairy-tale of sweethearts had thus begun Stealing stealthily the missives of alluring eyes Gawking sundown on ebullient magenta skies Welcoming newfound tempo passions bestow In temple of his soul where halos of love glow. Tethered to that moment strums song of yore Serenading love, lauding memories sublime, Extolling moment divine, firmly etched in time, Never conquered since, nor tendered before, Pulsing strings of hearts its rhythms now implore Gilded autumns of fervor to forever blaze ardor As melodies romantic soar, warbling evermore. Years have traversed, yet, he treasures that smile Eloquent in her style, as sensuous eyes beguile, While tolling bells of fate blissful hymns chime: Oh! how one sweet moment became a lifetime, Neither shall it wither, nor fade from its prime; This moment divine, now memorialized in time~ Tethered to it journeys, his blessed life sublime.
