poem#8

I do not have to say it twice
It is written all over my face
My eyes;
You don't look
You don't listen!

In the court of law
         (even) the devil gets a defence
In the cour ot love
                    the romeo, an audience;

My crime has been the most dire
My attempts only the most bold
But while you ignore and hide and hold
The  ominous jury seals my faith to the pyre!
