SHIMMERY IS THE BLAMELESS

Folder: 
JOURNAL #13

McGuire the much too charmed esquire

advant garde to the modern day liar

heir, artiste de con

fairing ever le bon

true to a fanatic fantastic snit

with a rogue's demeanor

one would only wish to forget

but of his supposed harem

each likely now lays unidentifiably

prone

while ever entrancing remains his

apparent tone

yet still, for a brief moment

I too, blindingly shone

above all who misfortunately

fell before me

unaware was I of my then current

fait accompli

ah, but its all too easy to fool a

headstrong naive nineteen year old

who believed while in love

she too was so daringly free

and the vacant memory alone

often assumes uncanny characteristics

of one so unbelievably bold

as if such occurrence is a form of

life's own degree..................
