Love is about here

I heard it in the bakers

while queuing for a loaf

I asked

is it north or south

but no-one knows

is it east or west?

but who started it?

shall we make love

and spread more rumors

till the rumors

make a big happy cloud

over our heads

white cloud

with pink edges

for pink is the color of love

like roses

romantic

yet real.

Make the rumors true

love today

and tomorrow

someone

a cat

and you won’t need

to smoke grass

just get out of your head

and into someone’s arms

then love will not be

just a rumor

but a certainty

just leap

and you won’t fall

into the abyss

but into joy

and pain

love and loss

it’s worthwhile

to be alive

just to hear

these beautiful

rumors

everywhere
