Trickster

I’m a trickster.
I can trick my beatitude;
Laugh with it for years!
Smile like a flower in the bright sun,
when I’m not able to.
Enjoy like a singer singing to myself,
when I’m not able to.
I’m a trickster.
I can trick my beatitude;
Laugh with it for years!
I’m a trickster.
I can trick my lust;
Groove in it for years!
Close my eyes as in contempt,
though I don’t feel like.
Moan softly to give pleasure,
though I don’t feel like.
I’m a trickster.
I can trick my lust;
Groove in it for years!

I’m a trickster.
I can trick my agony;
Play with it for years!
Cry like a baby with no inhibitions,
though I don’t want to.
Write like I’m insane because of pain,
though I don’t want to.
I’m a trickster.
I can trick my agony;
Play with it for years!

I’m a trickster.
I can trick my life;
Learn from it for years!
Make mistakes and try again,
though I can’t control.
Score well and bury it within,
though I can’t control.
I’m a trickster.
I can trick my life;
Learn from it for years!

I’m a trickster
I can satisfy myself;
Tricking myself with my tricks!

The writing spree is touching new heights with a bit of philosophy, good work and i believe each new work is taking you to new heights..

Yes, I've become a trickster over the years, i guess. ;)

@ peter

Well, I'm just writing, don't know if it would take me to new heights. :)

The way I look at it ... it shows more of your vulnerability than control over emotional self ...

As long as you enjoy doing what you do ... I am sure you will not even know when you are on top ... and you will realize you have a lot further to go as well ...

Ideas .. A collection of works by SRISHTI PADATHIYAAR... A play on a Witch by SRISHTI PADATHIYAAR ... if you let go and focus a little bit ... we will all receive free signed copies pretty soon ... :)

You can give me the rights if you are still afraid ...

I'm thinking of publishing some. But thats not an easy task.. Penquin has already rejected saying they are full for the next three years. So still, searching... Poetry has a very small market unless u r already a published author.

But thats not important. Let me continue my wild thoughts and keep on writing.
