Kidnap Poem

Ever been kidnapped

by a poet

if i were a poet

i'd kidnap you

put you in my phrases and meter

 

You to jones beach

or maybe coney island

or maybe just to my house

lyric you in lilacs

dash you in the rain

blend into the beach

to complement my see

 

 

Play the lyre for you

ode you with my love song

anything to win you

wrap you in the red Black green

show you off to mama

yeah if i were a poet i'd kid

nap you
