Andrew Crisci Poet Lyric

Some Tricksters

It's amazing how I resist change,
not all whispered promises are sublime;
they can make somebody cringe;
it's that poet who struggles for a rhyme.

Tricksters have a word for everyting
to cover up their embarrassing schemes;
I keep away from fakers who sugaroat dreams
with believable words that hide cheating.

Making me guess is the strangest suspense,
it's a selfish way to love  yourself
and not care for anyone else;
shouldn't you hold me and love me to death?

Some tricksters have a word for everything
to over up their embarrassing schemes;
I keep away  from fakers who sugarcoat dreams
with believable words that hide cheating. 

I've been down the road of pretentiousness,
I expected  but I got kicked in the ass;
that's how tricksters get what they want,
in the long run, they fail and remain defiant. 
 
 Fairy tales were written to make one dream,
did reality reveal their meaning with pretentious theme?   
I read them with boyish curiosity, they brought a gleam,
not enough to make me jump up and scream.
