Court of Love's Dominion

I wish to make a case for justice For I feel quite justified Here at the court of love's dominion My grievances surely Will be satisfied Your crime is one that's so egregious A crime of passion multiplied The details of a sorted sort May likely cause a strange division Yet I choose to trust the jury I beg them to be unified I thought your ruse was so ingenious A love noble and dignified Yet here today in this report I desire for once a fair decision For in my heart there is a fury That I believe is justified Your beauty rendered me delirious My once sharp mind was simplified Then I became a meager sort Captured by our sinful indiscretion For you not once was there a worry That our love could not be sanctified These charges layed, were very serious Yet today they were not satisfied It seems justice, came up a little short Leaving me to draw my own conclusion You fooled the men upon the jury Your sexy looks, fully maximized! If only Justice had been truly blind. Your Heart would surely be confined! For Justin's "Love Justice" contest

There exist another jurisdiction of love justice where temptation has no influence on the verdict Richard. "Love's dominion" is a brilliant expression! Your indignation is so innocent, and youve been betrayed twice; perhaps you gained from this passion strike! This poem is awesome!!! Never trust a jury, only the truth of your heart...J.A.B.

Ha ha, I just love your response. In this case the narrator was a fool, a pawn in the game of love. Seeking justice where none existed. Some men blame the woman for their own lacking. I much prefer a love of substantive proportions. I am pleased you enjoyed this flight of imagination. I was trying something different with Rhyme and this is where it took me.

This is great. I especially like the opening. So many times we only worry about our grievances, and we feel justice was not done if we didn't get what we want out of it. I think this will be at the top in the contest.

I hope so Monterey, either way I ended up with a new poem. Thanks for all your visits today, you always make my day when you drop by.

By the way I noticed that you rhymed every line from the first stanza to the following stanza and so on, with the last two lines each rhyming the last line of the previous stanza, nicely done!

Thanks for noticing, it made it much more challanging. I am glad you ejoyed it. :0)

Richard I'm all in for this one. A Fav!

Oh, that lady bedazzled them. This was a very GREAT way to do that theme. I took one look at "love justice" and just headed in the opposite direction!!!

Men many times try to justify themselves by putting their guilt on the woman..about her beauty and all.: ).but it takes two to tango..I just keep pondering about the lines..Was he found guilty for being fooled,and find her innocent cause they were blind? : )Lovely Richard,Really enjoyed this... A clever poem

I agree, too many men fail to take responsibility for their own actions. I'm glad you caught the irony in this piece.

Ah yes, beauty does have it's own way!! Even though it's only skin deep it can weave a tangle web of destruction. . . . best wishes on this contest!! 7

Your case admirably presented! Your eloquence mesmerizing! Your poetry "fully maximized" yet Justice committed an injustice! Superb, dear Richard. A seven! At least from my part, Justice is served! Ha-ha!

Thanks for the seven Demetrios, I had a bit of fun with this one.

Finished you certainly are....This is one of your writes that leaves me pondering...Your play on words is amazing...Loved the bit about it not being sanctified....OH OH ....aqnd sexy looks fully maximized. I'm truly torn about this piece, but it sounds like she should get what she deserves... Good one, Richard. Hugs

Richard Lamoureux
Date: 1/19/2015 7:32:00 AM

Please explain what you mean by torn, I am curious. In the case of this poem the fellow is trying to have the woman declared guilty for his own crime. The reality is that they are both guilty but he ultimately was the fool and a strange kind of justice was served.

I'm trying something new with this form, I hope it is somewhat effective. Have another look now that it is finished.

Richard...is this for Justin's contest? Is it finished or is it a work in progress. It is very good, my dear. I can feel the fury and anger in every line...

Hi Eileen, I'm all finished now.
