sorry I am late =)
here is mycontribution:
If it's a crime to love you
then guilty do I be
but not loving one as fair as thee
would be worse of a crime committed by me.

If it's a crime to want thee
then take mine soul from mine own self
as I will love thee as long as I live
and taking my soul is the only punishment thou canst give.

If it's a crime to believe in you
then injustice ruleth all
For only fools make loving, wanting and believing in thee a crime
I canst not stopeth my love for thee, so with a smile I'll do punishment's time.

hi there night soul heres my contrib

'If it's a crime to Love you
Then I plead guilty
To the gentle adoration in my heart
Guilty to the worship of you

If it's a crime to want you
Then sentence me
To a life time of longing
The endless longing for you

If it's a crime to believe in you
Then take the words I've said
That made you doubt I did
And burn my tongue

Then despite this inappropriate
Endearment
Just believe that my friendship
Is love and is yours always '


thanks for the challenging inspiration rgds mike

If it's a crime to believe in you, then I am a prisoner of injustice. If It's a crime to support you, I will give all I have. If its a crime to profess your innocents, I will yell it from the rooftops. If its a crime to fight for your freedom, I will die for you. If it's a crime to believe in you, I will stand behind the bars and scream your name until my voice is silenced! I will do this for you, because you are my brother, my sister, my son, my daughter, my mother, my father, my neighbor, my friend, in fact you are my nephew, David Camm! I will do it for you because you are innocent! Kathy Lockhart 6/24/06

If it's a crime to love you
then let all the bars around the world surround me.

If it's a crime to want you
then I'll be sentenced to death
again and again.

If it's a crime to believe in you
then I'm a prisoner in your veins.

I read all these responses and I dont know what exactly I'm doing here posting this... So here is something for you reading (dis)pleasure:

Bliss

If its a crime to love you
Then bring on your shackles of metal
This is the one crime blest by my soul
This is so beautiful, so rich, so vital.

If its a crime to want you
Then bring on the wrath of your hounds
I shall let loose the power of passionate desire
I shall be forever free, mangled and bound.

If its a crime to believe in you
Then send me to the death gallow
Where with my final dying gasping breath
I shall teach love to the devil below.

I'm guilty of all these crimes, beloved,
Punish me with just a moment's tender kiss
The world may consign me then to eternal flames
And watch me burn in eternally kissed bliss...

Your Criminal

If it's a crime to love you
Then my fate, it has been sealed
For you are my disease
And you simply can't be healed

If it's a crime to want you
I'm already in a cage
Locked within my mind, with you
Eternal dreamy stage

If it's a crime to believe in you
A willing convict, I will be
If only I could just have faith
That you believe in me

If it's wrong, I want to be wrong
For it's never felt so right
Because all I want to be is this:
Your criminal tonight

:) Sure baby, here it comes:

If it's a crime to love you,
then I would sit as judge
severely dressed in black.

You would sit on the plaintiff's side

on the defendant's side - she

Glacier- blue eyes
all drenched in tears
would plead her guilt

And I would condemn her, darling,
to life-long nearness to you
without mercy

(Justice is so fucking corrupt in this country)

Nice suggestion, and a good theme to work with, thanks for sharing - Liam

If it's a crime to Love you
Then I am guilty as indicted
If there's punishment for that crime
It would be my love was unrequited

If it's a crime to want you
Then I stand rightly accused
If Law decreed this is a crime
It will forever be abused

If it's a crime to believe in you
Then my faith must be on trial
If I renounced my love for you
Then my crime is one of denial

The unspoken truth is the
sweater unravelled mystery
of sacred love

When the sacred words
I love you, I want you,
I believe in you

are spoken then shall
no law forbid love to flourish
Universal love shall
prevail and conquer

Do We Then Make Void
the Law Through Faith?
God Forbid: Yea, We Establish the Law

What shall we say then? Shall we continue in sin, that grace may abound?

No human-made love
can prevent the transcedental
power of love to exist

If it's a crime to Love you

Then I will spend my life writing your name on every stone

If it's a crime to want you

Then I will steal your hands while you're sleeping


If it's a crime to believe in you

Then I am a criminal, my love
Escaping in your every word

A lovely thing to do dear...:)))
Well here's a try, I dont know if I got it right...?!


It is a crime to love you
when the forbidden thoughts
becomes to lovely actions
It is a crime to love you
when truth can not be heard
and it becomes silently unspoken
for the crime, the love for not to be broken
