He is a poet

Because he can afford to - 

He writes poetry dipped in sensitive phrases 
laced with kind, soft musings about a female heart. 
The first kiss on her lips
the soft touch of her skin - for the first time. 

She is just his wife -
being made so the night before -
washing the stains of the bloodied sinful sheet furiously 
sobbing and crying and wetting her dishevelled hair.

He looks at her 
writes another verse 
of her pain 
the stab of his virility
taking away her innocence. 

She cries 
continues to cry. 

His verse unbale to reach her 
penetrates the world 
with amazing sensitivity. 

Brilliant the poet 
emerges on the canon

Rising above mounds of tears

Because he bloody could afford so!
