These cards up my sleeve!: A poem 

Mum, Dad and True Love(!) 

Does that sum up my love,  

or does it indicate more… 

four billion score? 

For, loving each of you 

sets off a radioactive chain reaction 

And the substance, at the core, doesn’t diminish, but increases! 

You know I have dabbled with 

clubs and spades, all through, 

despite being the Ace of Hearts! 

You can say I am a crossroad – four ways to go! 

Like the four suits of the deck 

Like the four trump types 

And yet, I am Jack; and Joker, the Fool 

And I am the Magician too… 

No split personality though 

Just a rounded circle of character 

With even the diminutive two placed over the Ace for a score! 

The Phoenix always rises…over the 54-set 

The Tarot has twenty-two! 

I am just way above Judgement! 

Even though I was always wrongly judged 

due to the caprice, connivance and clandestine of the wickedness 

And I still did not make it a point to call out the invisible extra card of Retribution!
