A Riddle of Riddles

A sword…cutting, flaying, slaying
A candy…sugary, tantalizing, pleasing
A song…edifying, mesmerizing, bewitching
A dream…promising, comforting, exciting
A kiss….longing, exploring, claiming
An embrace…soothing, groping, desiring
An act…submitting, dominating, gratifying

What am I?

WORDS

Words...A world, a heaven, a moment, an eternity, 
A universe...

YOU!

Richard D Seal Date: 9/27/2013 6:37:00 PM You set a riddle indeed my little Desert Orchid, one that has dumbfounded us mere mortals since time began, maybe one day we will find the answer. You put the question perfectly in this poem. Take care, Richard Login to Reply Eileen Manassian Date: 9/27/2013 7:07:00 PM Little Desert Orchid is a smart little girl...or perhaps a total dolt because apparently, this little poem was a bit confusing for everyone. Yes, I feel sorry for you, Mr Seal...for you ARE a mere mortal...with foibles and weaknesses. I will talk to my fellow gods and goddesses and see if you cannot touch you with a bit of our virtues and immortality. Thanks for stopping by
