The poet with Stockholm syndrome

A poem kidnapped me - 

it held me prisoner

in a cabin

filled with first edition dictionaries

and other tools of torture

It looked like a sonnet

but sounded like a limerick

while it tried to make me talk

while reading sublime Shakespeare

and x-rated rap

but mum I remained

keeping my words to myself

until it opened the door

and said, 

"Go"

but I decided to stay

allowing the torture

to write beautiful poems

on the silent walls

of my heart.
