Kidnap Poem lyrics
by Nikki Giovanni
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 red, Black green, show you off to mama yeah
If I were a poet, I'd kidnap you
