The Muse


The torturing obsession, the muse, slinks nearer, slowly, smoothly, flowing like sweet honey, pretending now to be my friend, now my lover, now my hateful tormentor, while its gentle, soft, inspiring voice drives me forever onward. It stalks, and tempts my wandering mind, and when it kisses me, its resentful passion and its spiteful teeth loving rend my flesh. Then suddenly it retreats rapidly to its hiding place, as coldly as a lover scorned. It flees instinctively from my gaze, there is the slamming of a door in my mind, and the timid sadist disappears behind it, leaving me broken and exhausted.
