I AM ZIEMAN

PERHAPS LOVE?

S wrote this for all of us to share....though I beg to differ on some areas about this so-called love. He has his idealistic view on what he term as love. Not that I am unable to love anymore. The hurt that love brings after I lost my loved ones - one after another - makes me feel so alienated from the very word. I prefer not to use the word love so often as it might be misconstrued, not by anyone but by me.

So, here it is:

you are zieman
and words are all i have for you
and if you think its fine to share this piece is for those you love too.
-----------------------------------------------------
love often underestimated
sometimes overestimated
it is never taken for its real worth
it is not an overused word
if it were ...why do people hunger for it?
the truth is...most people are just embarrased about showing affection
they feel super when they are swearing
they feel elated when people laugh at their lewd jokes
they feel belonged when someone tells them a dirty joke
they feel hip when they say (a four-letter word that's not 'fish')
they feel they are 'somebody' when they are first to peek at nudity
but they get queezy about saying 'i love you'
they feel bonded when someone tells them 'i love you'
they think you are lecherous and laschivious
when you say you are not ashame to love
so, what is this thing called love
that everyone is running away from?
it happens every day
and every moment of their life yet, they dont know
love is not a package dealit comes in bits and pieces of ordinary things
love untainted is love for the Almighty
and love for everything else is an extension of that love for the Supreme Being
