court jester

you trickster you!

telling me one place
meaning another
giving me a taste
then taking it away

maybe you aren't a trickster
but you sure are a tease
telling me to go in faith
to leave everything I need

well here I am
flirting with a place
from two islands away
I fell for it like a sucker.

You had my attention
you gave your commandment
I came and as soon as I got a taste
you changed my palette

silly me
for thinking I had any idea what you meant
now my imagination is flowing
possibility surrounds me
potential is looming

maybe this is just another stand up routine
maybe I'm just a punchline
or maybe you aren't joking.
