It was the middle of the week
Dark
Outside
Answering
The riddle from Truth
The riddle of the week
“Do you love her
And if yes
Does loving her make you weak?”
A knight
Such as himself
Would have previously been offended
Is that any way
For an advisor to speak
Lowly
He would have said in disdain
But along the way
Unknowingly
He had discovered Truth
So he had wasted
Half a day
On an answer
That is to say
A certain princess
Invaded his mind
Cancer
Cut it out
Before it spreads
Weakness
Fear
His sudden discovery
He wanted to show to Truth
But Truth
Already had the solution
Knowing
The princess
He had to find her
Save her from the monster
She was strong
But fragile
Sometimes
She needs to be cared for
He raced for his transportation
Trusting that the details
Truth would look after
He heard jingling
And was greeted with laughter
As soon as
He turned the corner
“I thought this one
Would have taken another year.
I thought you were smarter.”
He smiled
At the subtle admonishment
Of his childish behaviour
Not needing to reply
Or Needing Truth’s sarcastic banter
Lecture
Like a heckler
Bothering a clown
Comedian
Joker
He was
But he is
A man of action
Stuck in indecision
Fearing weakness
It
Was it over
