hi everyone.. i am new to this forum.. and this is my very first post..... critiques are welcome...

it was close to prime time rush hour
two kids rushing for the seat at the corner
a conversation of concerns from the background
and earphone music of loud rock n roll sounds

the bell rings, the door closes, and north it went
an iffy feeling surrounds the compartment
workers chitin and chattin, students pacing in motion
the PA statics with a female voice, "arriving at eglinton”

the bell rings, the door opens and there she stands
sparkling eyes, shinning hair with no ring on her hand
black stiletto with matching black pencil skirt
topped off with a simple white v neck t-shirt

a lone seat across, between john and tom she sat
the eyes pretend to glimpse up at the Bacardi ad
rolling down  not knowingly into her eyes
within a milliseconds its lifts up to ceiling high

the heart starts to race, beats and pounds
sweats starts to build and tiny drips drops down
the head tilts left, right, up and down, never center
but the eyes quickly glazes over for another glimmer

the PA statics again, “arriving at lawrence”
she shuffles up her posture, but foot is constant
the door opens and luckily quickly closes
a sy of relief fills the beating heart with calmness

the mind starts to run a plan of action
“Hi, nice shoes, where did you buy them?”
“Hi, you look familiar, do we know each other?"
“hey wazzup, i like you, can i have your number?"

the lips will never open even for a tiny whisper
dreams starts to fill of a loving romantic future
with fingers cross, prayers for her to initiate
just maybe infront of everyone she'll ask u for a date

the PA statics once again, "arriving at york mills"
she positions up and the heart stands at a still
as the door opens, and she steps closer and closer
the dreams starts to fade away faster and faster

with a final glance and feelings of good bye
she tilts back and glazes at the eyes
turns back and makes her way through the door
and there she was and is no more

the bell rings loudly, and the door shut tight
she's dims smaller and smaller thru each door sight
and when her figure quietly and calmly disappear
the dreams gone, but the thoughts will stay with me

Well I think this is a very good effort indeed.

You've painted an interesting story which makes me want to read on and on, and the rhyme and slant rhyme is unobstrusive and natural.  

Good work ... and

PS If you want critiques you will need to think about changing your critique message from "no" to "yes" in the managing your profile screen.  All the best.
