Bring me my glass joker
Don’t you see I’m busy?
I don’t need your jokes
Just bring me my glass
There’s a blister on the wall
And I’m going to fix it
I’m going to save your arse joker
So be prepared
You say it when you don’t mean it
You mean it when you don’t say it
But you are all I’ve got joker
Coz I am going down again
And I’m taking you with me
To the depths of insanity
You have not witnessed before
And your antics can’t kill
I’m your best bet
I’m the one who calls the shots
So what if you steal the show
I will run it for you joker
I will be your master
And guide you through this mess
I will show you the way into the wilderness
This world can do with a hero
That’s it, that is all I need
The bliss of a colourful costume and a mask
A stage and a way into your heart
Joker, I will share your burden
I will find my place
In the circus of shadow and light
Then perhaps you’ll know, you’ll see
The face that saved you, cursed you, loved you
My face, the face of the eternal wretch
The new age philosopher, the criminal who saw the light
Oh yes, we are all moving in circles joker
Welcome to my world

Hmm... a tough naked visual to intake.. poignant is the word?
The better care we are able to take of ourself, the better our relationships to people and things... Thank you for this :) Made me remember things forgotten, things needing attention and acknowledgment.
Love~

... Also, I guess everyone cannot understand the intensity sadly.. that and it takes a huge deal to get our walls down too.. ask me! :-)
The poem touched me, disturbed me and calmed me... It took me on a trip!
Keep writing..
@Itinerant: well, u gotta figure that out.. honestly m not really making any point here, just sharing experiences. To me Joker stands for so many different people, who make a circus of their lives. Infact at some point we all do..
@kunjal: atleast some1 could make some sense out of this one! from whatever little work i have produced i manage to like 'Joker' a bit and for some reason keep coming back to it.. probably to make sense out of it.. :). Thanks fr taking the time to read my work and for leaving your comments. N yes it does take a lot to let your guard down, to be as open as the sky.. only those who know what ot means to journey beyond our barriers will know what it takes.
