Taskmaster

 

 


The horses you raced were stelthy and I admired them greatly, 

but as you rode I could neither see into your eyes,

nor into the heavans around them,

so I felt quite distanced and alone.

 

The stallions that you bred were also grand

and I also praised them zealously,

till the creatures wretched whinings

filled every bit of thought space,

so that it was all I heard,

and I felt very dumb and without voice.

 

Yes, your steeds were so very strong;

I coveted them with intensity,

but shortly it was known

that they bred amongst themselves,

in a narcissistic way;

raping one another of comfort and hope,

Then I felt cheated and angry,

 

and realized

that I didn't want to buy your horses after all.

 

 

 

 

 










 

Author notes

Sort of a sequal to "A Stranger, but not in Words"

This is being spoken to the same character.

Do you comprehend my message and was it worth the read?

    the whole "can't see the forest for the trees"

    We are often blinded by lust. We want things to be as we wish, however all too often we are disappointed to find out the truth. The reality is never as sweet, but something is rather comforting in the wisdom gained through experience...over time ...of course.
