my appetite cannot be whet,
and i've never had a silhouette.
i feel not pain, but i can be killed.
i may have a master, but i shall not be willed.
i dance about, as if moved by passion,
though it leaves me weak, my composure ashen.

nice riddle

for the rose icon, you need to select it when you first post the thread - not a worry if its missed though, ive added it for you :)

is the answer a Fire?

my appetite cannot be whet, - play on words with fire always being hungry / water smothering the flames
and i've never had a silhouette. - no shadows possible
i feel not pain, but i can be killed. - snuffed out?
i may have a master, but i shall not be willed. - unsure, perhaps to do with man's use of fire
i dance about, as if moved by passion,
though it leaves me weak, my composure ashen. - the quicker a fire is burning the faster the flames are moving
