Romeo Stopped Bleeding

why are you fooling around here 
in this childish 
seek-for-whatever-it-might-be 
game? 

love is not in people
nor even in other breathing things

haven’t you heard the voice? 
Romeo stopped bleeding

love is in the air

take a deep breath and
for chrissake
relax

I greet you with the love of the Lord, expressed by John 3:16 of the Bible, "For God so loved the world, that he gave his only begotten Son, that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but have everlasting life." Be blessed.
