I Am Master

I am craftsman I am master of any weapon of choice,
and my chosen weapon of today is blade of samurai.

Blade so shiny, silky, smooth as suede for I find much
much strength within this blade which can hit ones flesh
and explode on impact like a grenade.

In a choreographic motion I swing my blade upon thee
never destroying the flesh but close enough to give warning
severing the hairs from ones body without guessing any less.

With one swipe of my blade I can destroy your very existence
but rather I choose not to, but instead I'll disable you and
for the sake of life I'll spare you.

For this is the reason why I am master.

Author's Note

One who can spare the lives of thy enemies out to destroy them is a very spiritual and giving individual at heart and mind. This can also be a powerful source in society showing compassion to others can sometimes change the hate in others hearts.

love how when I enter your reading door-you lead me through room by room
like the first line in this...you have left open the possibilities of where we could be going and in one sentence you set up the writing piece..we are going to see a samuria sword
and what it has to offer the world
a lot of thought here-love that we can decide destroy or spare a soul and your choice offers evidence of who you are
truly interesting to read
and that title grabbed me
thank you for sharing

Thank you for giving you insightful and very nice review here I appreciate it truly, for if we destroyed everyone and everything there truly would be nothing left

Yes it is very lethal thank you for your thoughts

[Krithika Raghavan]

Maybe you should make the "ill" into "I'll" but no matter.. I loved this and I was fascinated as you describe from the start. I love the usage of your words and the imagery they provide. You have a definite style and you should keep writing;-)

[kelvin]

Well thank you very much for you words and Ill change the i'll to I'll and I'm glad you like it thank you again.

Ooooft, 'severing the hairs from ones body' actually gave me chills. You are master of this piece is all I know. Intriguing read, nice one kelvin. I'd be dangerous for sure with one of those things at my disposal, I'm not as nice as you. ;-)

We have the power to forgive and that is immense letting go of old harbored feelings and hurts . Then we feel the freedom of negative thoughts and emotions. A forgiving compassionate man or woman are masters indeed for you have reclaimed your inner self and will power instead of dwelling in misery or the past .
Another of your well written enlightning writes...:)

Well I agree with you fully here and Thank you for your very kind meaningful thoughts here and yes we must move on instead of sit in the same spot or position besides you will eventually get cramps and stiffen up hahahaha thank you again my friend.

There's a saying Kelvin, that mercy & forgiveness are the adornments not of every snake but only of that snake which has venom!

The thought is beautiful and the poetry is exquisite. I could feel the wind from the moving sword!

[kelvin]
