Reckless Abandon

On the deserted beach, underneath the moonlight,

That was where we kissed, I fell in love that night.

It wasn't just the summer heat that caused my heart to melt.

This steamy summer love was like nothing I'd ever felt.

The brightness of your eyes caused my heart to swell.

On that deserted beach is surely where I fell.

The touch of your hands set my soul to ignite.

I never felt like this before, a feeling I couldn't fight.

With reckless abandon we joined there on the beach.

With the stars shining down, heaven did we reach.

Wild and passionate we were throughout the night.

Still wrapped in each others arms to greet the morning light.

Our hearts, our lips , our souls were one.

The heights we reached will compare with none.

Super job with this sonnet. All the required elements are present (Just an 'I' missing from 'Still'- 3rd line from end). Best of luck in the contest ~ Sharon :)

Sorry C.L., I went by the definition here at Poetry soup and the example they showed was by Roberts Frost, it was also 7 rhyming couplets, as my first attempt I thought I'd go by the defintion from this site. Please excuse me if I was mistaken
