If I Were a Poet

Lyrics

[Spoken Word: LyricalLisa] If I were a poet, I would spin satin ... The cobwebs that used to cover my heart Contracted from countless missteps Mirages that trap my hopes like a tangled fly in the food chain of regret I would create the finest government of warmth out of the illusions love has given me Like a game of roulette If I were a poet, I would spark his mind with visions of humanity Placing emphasis on the language of mercy Placing adjectives next to verbs to paint a picture that is full of the frailties in our society Forging my words with swords, being reflections of clarity I would forfeit my pen for a world that has more dignity [Instrumental] [Spoken Word: LyricalLisa] If I were a poet, I would prick my fingers Bleeding out circulations of non-coagulated feelings Making you see the depths of how my heart beats Rhythms of prose that connect lines on the pages I'm scripting Stimulating your mind with the lyrical loggings of my love that is steady flowing If I were a poet, I would position my ink next to your ears and eyes So your senses could absorb the realness that poetry brings I would string your mind to mine, allowing your thoughts to merge with my verses Placing on your soul linguistic ... Narrating my devotion to this poetry thing If I were a poet, I would definitely leave an expressive state [Instrumental]
