Fifth period, a living hell of a class.
But if everything is set correctly,
It becomes heaven.
For if chin rests on hand, and elbow on desk,
And a stare is directed at the front corner,
I am gone. To another place. With you, of course.
The fluorescent lights hum,
casting their overly bright radiance on the back
of your head. Thats usually all I see of you.
Just the back of your head, and if you turn,
I catch a glimpse of those long eyelashes.
The drone of the lights is like an intoxicating drug,
slowing everything down, helping to drown out the noise.
I sink into my own world, with you.
It's a world of reciprocated love,
of gentle words, and even more gentle touches.
And there are only two of us. As it should be.
But alas, it all must end. And I am left with
nothing,
as I stare at the back of your head.

I really enjoyed reading this.
You've done a great job of expressing the
love and longing in these lines.
By the end, I had forgotten that the setting
was actually a class room.
Very nicely done.

wow! I so know what it's like to sit through class and only be able to make it through because you have that specail person to stare at but in a way it's hell because you know all you can do is stare. Great poem I can feel what you are feeling and to be able to do that is a rare gift. Keep writing!

Live and laugh and make sure to always have Bella Amor (beautiful love)
