A blade defines an edge, oblivion on either side!. Perhaps even duality as Solomon’s call!. A word or words also will define with an edge and slice deeper still than fine Toledo steel!. So, if you seek an edge beware the razor waiting for it cares not the holder, it slices… both ways!. Www@QuestionHome@Com Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Indeed, the word is a sword that one needn't swing, for the reader will fling themselves upon it, yet still, blame the writer!. Www@QuestionHome@Com You taunt me with your taste for the touch!. Don't mock me! I have been long before and will be long after!. You are here for reasons unknown to me and I care not!. This release you seek is not to be found in the thin edge you walk on!. Have you read my bio!. Checked my credits!. I claim as I choose not at your hand!. When ready the flow will drown you with glorious light of white!. The only crimson for you is in dawns light and dusks glow!. Now go set this thinly veiled notion to rest and be done with your cutting innuendo!. Don't taunt me!. I am not ready for you!.Www@QuestionHome@Com The pen being the blade, the writer must take care not to slice the page, but to gently carve breathtaking art in the form of words!.!.!.
