A Sonnet For Reckless Abandon

The sun in the sky drew my attention
I gazed into it like my lover's eye
The moment was perfect for retention
And I could do naught but just watch and lie.

Then daydreams took hold and I was aflight.
Clouds parted just to allow me access
And I was airborne straight into the night.
Where else could I go but towards success?

My eyes were on fire with the light of day,
And naturally you just stayed on my mind
The time we spent was the typical way
In which our love will impossibly bind.

So just allow this perfect bliss to last:
Like still, sweet lips that brushed mine in the past.
