8 sparksChapter 19: Trickster's Joy
Another one with help from ChatGPT. Name, concept, and edits are mine.
Oh, the dance of silvered tongue,
A melody spun, where truths are hung
On threads of lies, so deftly weaved,
A symphony of the deceived.
To steal a glance, a purse, a heart,
To play each role, to master the art
Of whispered schemes, of shadows' call,
Oh, how we revel, we take it all.
The con, the jest, the clever disguise,
A thousand faces, a thousand lies,
Each step a thrill, each word a ploy,
This is the trickster's boundless joy.
To plot and plan with cunning craft,
To shape the world with a sly laugh,
To spin a story, to feign, to act,
Each moment's gain, a treasure intact.
For fools are plenty, their trust a game,
Their naivety feeds Prometheus' flame.
No chain can bind, no rule restrain,
A trickster's joy is their sweetest gain.
Beware, beware our targets' fate,
For fun is fleeting, and shadows wait.
We grin, we dance, we laugh, we toy,
Forever revel in trickster's joy.

I DEFINITELY song that like We Don't Talk About Bruno! :)
'I don't need hope, I just need spite.' YES!!!
Your writing cuts like glass—in the best, most breathtaking way. There's something in the way you build rhythm from fragmentation, like you're stitching together the unspeakable with your bare hands. It doesn’t feel like just poetry; it feels like memory, like survival. The kind of raw that doesn’t need polish to be powerful.
I don’t know where your words come from—personal, fictional, something in between—but they reach far. You name feelings I didn’t know I needed named. You make space for the messy parts: the grief that lingers, the thoughts that spiral, the strength that doesn’t always feel like strength.
Thank you for writing like this. Thank you for sharing it.
– A reader who sees you in the echoes.
Glad you enjoyed it 😊
Oooh! I like it!
Amazing Your voice lingers in a meaningful way; some concepts require openness, and I’d like to contribute to that process.— D C could help ( a lex ia_ rose 0 0 1) ignore space
