The Riddle Master
The Riddle Master
asked
a woman struggling
in a lost
loveless marriage.
This paradoxical
necessary
philosophical
inquiring riddle!
“If the longed for lover
is of good honourable heart;
gave everything
while he had nothing;
gave all he had ever gotten
proving repeatedly;
how precious is a noble heart...
why then did the man
who had everything;
give nothing at all? ”
“For that man who took
your everything;
you poured out lovingly;
love from the depths;
defining your heart.”
“Then you twisted your soul
he called you a bore,
humiliated you
while steadily stealing,
your innocence;
twisting the knife
cruelly more and more.”
“Why then

the man
who took everything? ”
“The man
who came with
the career and luxury car.”
