Glad to be deceived

Deceive me with love:
Play the game enough.
To its rules I’m wise,
And I’m worthy of lies.

Deceive me with hope:
“I am yours alone.”
Though with others been,
Snow white queen...

And deceive my trust:
Fortune tellers must
Show me what’s to come,
What will we become.

Deceive me with answers:
Promised summer tales
How south we’ll raise the sails
But keep secret the details...

Deceive me with a date:
Too long there I will wait.
Must have been a mistake?
Home these flowers I’ll take.

Deceive my rambling rhymes
Romantic folly’s crimes.
Call them beautiful,
Meaningful, and powerful.

I’m glad to be deceived.
It’s but a game, but I’m aggrieved.
There is only one rule: I’ll allow
Only lies... Are you happy now?
