ECONOMICS.

Sending the explicit,
and saving on royal mail,
aeroplanes sail across the room.
The pilots pissed but still reaches his target.
Bullseye.
Bully for you.

The scene is set.

Sitting at the back
eyes can see all.
She thinks I am too far behind,
that I am a pauper in poorer ranks
while she is the Princess
of false smiles
and banks.

I'm as common as your right arm.
All tracks lead to the heart.
They all have linear lines
from the same play.
Shakespeare wrote about it once I'm sure.
Even kaleidoscopes can see it coming
from a mile off.
This post office of Sonnets:
Pablo, Rosetti,
she throws love around like confetti.

Her finances come from
the stock market of attraction.
She puts a bit of herself
in every exchange.
Lips, hips and budding tits.
Showing potential
that never grows.

She is Queen of Country
who refuses to lose her head
while I am the young Wyatt
to her love.
The pretty words I write
make the impact of a tree
that falls when no one is around
to see or hear
a thing.

The churches eyes follow mine
as she takes advantage
of a more docile faith.
Those stained glass windows
believe you must put the ant
after your protest of innocence.
Its hard work will be true to the cloth.

An apology heals no wounds.
Another plane sails across the room.
This student always reaches her own set targets.
We are at school
and she learns nothing.

THE WOMAN WHO BLED.

He chose to wed
the woman who bled,
who courted and sorted
those sick in the head.

She held down no money
It went straight to the sky
to the fat cats with money.
Their paws in all pies.

He chose to marry
the one who would carry,
who could take care of those
with a heart that staggers, and slows.

They'd walk without impact
til their face hit the floor.
Their hearts so compact
but were crushed and hurt more.

Who would believe them
when they said butterflies gnawed?
But the girl who would listen
til her ears became sore.

He married her later.
(A ceremony of sorts)
He sent her love letters
but the love was cut short.

She loved him.
She loved him.
Her darling, she did.

She loved him.
Adored him.
But who could she kid?

From helping out others
her own problems she hid
and to marry another
would lift the lid.

No more other problems
to keep her quite sane.
No more other problems
to vanquish her blame.

She ran from the chapel.
She ran far away.
This woman.
This saviour.

He had her but one day.
