The Joker

Let me be your joker you say,

Your jester, the clown, the man of merely play.

To laugh, to dance, trust in me your sweet romance,

For I live to please and tease, whatever the circumstance.

Let me be your dealer you say,

The one that knows all the dreams at stake.

To dare a gamble, stake a claim,

To shuffle the deck of life's simple game.

Let me be your lover, you say,

Your hearth, the spirit, to comfort you night and day.

To love, to lend, to be there in the end,

To hold your heart and put it on the mend.

And to these sweet promises I never stand true,

How many contradictions are melded into you?
