RUMOURS

Any truth that it's always younger women ?

Hmm...now how did that transpire ?

Surely he has something to do with it

Were his actions not directed properly?

Someone told me that he is a family man

A U-turn some say from former days

at a meeting of minds and playful hearsay

 blending the physical with the mental

Rumour has it that he has none but himself

A gilded reflection of a glorious past

A tune heard by nobody except one

played in quiet with notes melancholy

Rumours I suppose are best left alone

They leave evidence behind of playful nips

and scratches made by urgent fingertips

in a flurry of microscopic imagination

The sum total of their expression

apart from causing ripples in the backdrop

stirs not the pot and remains

as blank as the stare on an exalted deity
