Did you hear ……

Prattling tongues have often wagged and spread this
type of sordid thing.  Their speculation
rife with innuendo.  That fleeting kiss
observed in haste, a vile inculcation

burned into the corp’rate grid, repeated
freely for all within ear’s range.  Story
multiplied and amplified and heated
to a frenzied pitch.  A stolen glory

conferred upon repeating lips which smile
and knowing nods confirm with evident
delight, two reputations now servile
to gossip’s grand design, two lives now rent.

Affection shown between platonic friends
now twisted beyond reach by rumor’s bends.

(big hugggsssssss) Oh Bart, I know just how you feel, it too always saddens me to see rumors go around like this only to givge others the wrong impression of someone else and bring much pain and blame to others! (sad sigh) So sad but powerfully expressed, sweet friend, we all love you so much! You have such a beautiful heart, sweet Bart, thank you for sharing!
