I was kidnapped
by a poet
Swept off mental feet
By winsome arms
Taken captive by his metaphor
Held by lyric eyes.
Fed by chocolate nonsense
Filled with strawberry lines.
Sweet nothings cram my mind.
Bound by his simile
I'm bathed in glib liquid
Dried with rainbow sunset.
Dancing all the while,
Smoothed by his lullaby
Hummed to change my mind.
My heart drowned in his oath
But now I know he was
Speaking cotton candy tiff.
All lies.
