Love Poem: Tethered

Written by: Jo Bien

Tethered

you brush up against my senses
staging a full frontal assault
sending me reeling, too much feeling
bouncing me off of the walls

you tether me with longing
a cord braided with hope and belief
you lasso my heart with loving
and love songs you sing just to me

you orchestrate my memory
in dreams where the magic befalls
burrowing yourself deep under my skin
oh the depths and the wonder of it all
