REPLETE WITH TEARS
Lacrimae vitaeno sweetness in tearsAcerbic, 'Mere water to a stranger ' *they cannot begin to master fears.Oh corrosive torrent, where, if any, is release...?These dormant sorrows spit fire and are best kept at peace. They belong not to angels -who would comfort us to cease. I haven't the least velleityto be ravagedyet again.Vacillation between joy and sorrowlubricates the ducts of pain." The soul would have no rainbowhad these eyes no tears"but I'm done withcolouring in camouflage.The sky is perfectwhen it's clear. BjR 11 December, '09 Velleity - the lowest degree of volition or desire. lacrima, lacrimae tear/tears:weeping; dirge; vitae - Life/of life *Tears are but water to a stranger - RUSSIAN PROVERB" The soul would have no rainbow had the eyes no tears" Unknown origin
