Tears

Tears of bliss 
dilate one's heart 
it's brief and instant 
make hopes boundless

Tears of shame 
cleanse one's sense 
giving another chance 
not to do the same 

Tears of anger 
aches with heat 
never constant 
it fades fast 

Tears of sadness 
a dense flow of spring 
console one to bring 
again endurance 

Why tears of LOVE 
chase one's soul 
give unending rill 
cold like dew?
