There I was, in the middle of a terribly boring maths lecture� Either way, this is just an extremely short Valentine's Day special. The poetry isn't supposed to be very good, or even good at all. In fact, it should be a little corny. This is Oliver we're talking about. I'll assume that poetry is not his strong suite. ^_^ Hope it's to your tastes, anyway. Oh. And, Cairnsy-san? Happy Valentine's Day. This�is for you. [Except�if you don't like it and find it terrible, you can ignore that last line I said.]

Be With Thee
By Djinn

Alas, my love,
My heart, it longs for thee
For thither are thee far, far
From my empty arms
My senses miss th' assault
Of thy winning charms

Tis love, I say,
Tis love that leads me long
To pluck the cherry blossom
From thy cherry lips
To, hands entwined, drink from thy
Wine with gentle sips

Intoxicating,
Like th' wine-red of thy hair
Wine on wine, flame on flame set
My heart upon fire
Such sweetness, how it be wrong?
This searing desire

And love, thy eyes,
Oceans of midnight blue
How many sailors have been
Lost in these dark seas?
Am I, too, doomed to just
Another sailor be?

So, there 'en, love
I wish thee in my arms
And this Valentine's, oh how
Much I wish thee near
So much I wish to be with
Thee, my Perc �

All of a sudden, the paper was snatched from his hands. He looked up in a panic - to see Professor McGonagall, eyes flashing with righteous anger, scanning down the verses.

Oliver gulped. Maybe it wasn't such a good idea to drift off during Transfiguration after all, even if he did miss a certain redhead on Valentine's day so very much. Of course, he noted wryly, the revelation came a little too late.

Then, Professor McGonagall's face softened. A small grin quirked up the corners of her lips, and a mischievous spark entered her eyes.

To Oliver's vast astonishment, she winked at him, intoning a line of spontaneous rhyme.

"Tis a sight I'd ne'er thought I'd see - Oliver Wood writing love poetry."

END

�Was that too bad? Oh, how the poem ends? I'll give you a hint. It rhymes with 'near'. ^_^; [That's it. I'm going out of my mind.] By the way, the title is actually a parody of the title of a certain GLAY song. Either way, Happy Valentine's Day. Hope it was okay.
