'Sine Cera' ...
This article is more than 19 years old... Comes From the Latin Meaning 'Without Wax', Because When the Romans Made Pots They Sometimes Sealed the Base with Wax, Claiming That They Were Watertight, But in Time the Wax Melted or Wore Away, Rendering the Pot Useless For Liquids. Therefore Those Pots Not Finished With Wax Were Inscribed 'Sine Cera' To Prove That They Were Sound, and From This Evolved Our Word 'Sincere'I remember how
once long ago
you fashioned me in wax
with moore-like care
twined tendrils of my hair
about my face
whilst whispering words of love
in crafted ear
my eyes you gave a lumiscent glow
expression of desire was sculptured there
and lips you took so long to mould so right
spent many a steamy night
embossed upon your own
then one day I awoke and you were gone
no reasoned explanation or good-bye
so I sat my waxen head beside a flame
and slowly, very slowly
like the setting of the day
I sadly watched my mad self melt away.
