Oh, What's His Name

I will be the narrator of this story- it was a beautiful summer day when I saw "him" standing there staring (Oh, what's his name?) well anyways- he was like a God in leather my brother had brought home and now he stood by his motorcycle smiling at me- and I was struck with his beauty and the drums of time ceased to move (Oh, what's his name?) love had come a guest quite unbidden and I fluttered like a happy lamb and the lion licked his lips- all that summer we rode his bike into the sun 'till the last tint of day was gone but he told me lies, lies, lies and lies (Oh what's his name?) and the lesson- that beauty is only skin deep. ___________________________ September 16, 2019 Poetry/Narrative/Oh, What's His Name Copyright Protected, ID 19-1181-495-02 All Rights Reserved.

Nicely done Constance, it seems that many men consider "love" to be the ultimate game of "liar's poker".
