After school

On a winters night

In the dark

Me and Jackie Cuddeson

Kissed for an eternity

 

We shivered from the cold

So we had to cuddle tighter

I remember her perfume

It had a fancy name

Something French

Like our kisses

 

We blew cold breath

In each other’s faces

And stared at the moon

That was as bright as a torch

With new batteries

 

This was forever

Until Mr Martin the Headmaster

Discovered us

And gave us both detention

The following day

 

Love can be cruel.

I like the tone and construction of this,  the youthfulness of the couple really comes through..  The last stanza says it all.

HiLinda thanks for reading and comment - I had a flash back to that event in a dream last night which was weird! Glad you enjoyed reading.

Hi smokejack,  great piece of writing on the subject of young love,  which more than likely many people can relate.  Good to read your work again,  hope you are well.  Jenny.

I liked this so much. Told as it would have been told back then. 'Moon that was as bright as a torch with new batteries' - that's very special.

Enjoyed!
