I love it
When we're slowing dancing on a busy street
Whenever I'm with you
I begin to feel
So invincible
So fearless
And care free
Tonite
I'm up in your arms
Trying to find myself
But
The dependency is weakening my spirit
And what I know to do is right
Is the choice I would
Much rather pass along to another
See
The intent is
Not to bruise your heart
But
Doctor's orders tell me to
Take two doses of leaving you alone
And see how I feel in the morning
Because he knew one dose
Would only leave me leaping
Right back into the heart of a relapse
Causing me to be molded into a repeat offender
And violate my parole
ORDER IN THE COURT!
Here I sit chained at the wrist by emotional lock down
It seems as if they don't trust me or something
But
I'm too busy becoming enthralled
When I see my baby go and speak in my defense
ORDER IN THE COURT!
The opposition keeps trying
To manipulate the situation
And no one seems to notice but me
I can't take this anymore
OBJECTION!
You can't do this to this object of my affection
OBJECTION!
He may come off as a bad habit
But
His kisses are like perfection
OBJECTION!
ORDER IN THE COURT!
It appears my actions are leading to no avail
Only further enraging the tigress
Dressed in all black
With a vicious appetite for
Devouring hearts like mine
Either that or
The judge must an old love
Who never fully got over
So she monopolizes her authority
Through an opportunistic approach
Pushing me off as the culprit
But
It is fear that begets her
As she notices the determination in my soul
And ponders
Whether or not I am daring enough
To leap over that which
Separates me from the public
Only to land right in your arms
Where I truly wanna be
Proving to her finally that
Reconciliation of any kind is out of the question
But
I was brainwashed to believe that
You're no good for me
And the jury is nowhere in my favor
So there really is no need to plead insanity
Because exhibit A exposes my membrane
To be clean as a make up hidden blemish
No need for lies anyway
We all know the truth
I love this man
And if that makes me guilty
Well then
Just grant me my time to serve
Hand me my papers
And lead me to my palace
Behind bars
Suite solitary if I do request
I look forward to the peace
I'll need to not be disturbed
When I write to my love
You think you have won
Yet
You all stare at my smile with confusion
You wanted order in this court
And all I wanted was him
Your meaningless victory
Was nothing more than a facade
My justice has been served...
I LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOVE THIS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
ReplyDeleteAs I said before this poem is a reminder of a song from the 70's, "Court Of Love". Its great that you thought up this type of hook for your poem because it shows you have imagination. It shows you want to be "Nicole" and not mimic someone else. Theres nothing wrong with mimicing another poet but its good to have you own voice. Glad to have met you. Keep up the good work and the spiritual values. Proud of you..
ReplyDeleteThank you gentlemen. I was actually going to check that song out "Court of Love" when you first mentioned it on facebook, I still am. I really do dig this piece and I think it's a nice step out from what I have written (minus the other free write I have on fb). I love the comments, it helps me to grow as a writer!
