Ravindra K Kapoor Poet Free verse

Swaggers Song

Swagger’s  Song 

This Free Verse was prepared by me on experimental basis to serve as a rustic Song. The free verse is yet to take the shape of a Song with Music and proper Singing. 

Placed on Poetry Soup for an evaluation by my PS Music loving friends.

Style inspiration from Poet Destroyer- Thank you for your silent inspiration dear friend PD.
Ravindra


Swagger’s  Song 

Hey Look 
You arrogant lady
Don’t move like a Cat
On my way.

I know 
How to bell a Cat
When she is crazy 
For a walk and talk
Like a clever politician.

Don't play a trick 
With me
By blinking your eyes
Dear lady
I know you are hungry
Like a tigress,
And would leave 
Nothing for me 
If I offer you 
Something to eat.

Still,  you want to keep me 
In a  world of illusions
Till the next prey falls
For you
In the season.

You are doing all this
So that 
I may not
Judge your moves
And intensions
And you may make
Your joyous attack
On my ways 
Whenever I move
To feel the 
Fresh air of the season.

But remember  
Hey 
You arrogant lady
Don’t move like a Cat
On my way.

I know 
How to bell a Cat
When she is crazy 
For a walk and talk
Like a claver politician. 

I know you are not
In your senses 
You have drained
The whole bottle 
Down your throat
Dear lady

And in a senseless 
State of drunkenness
You want to 
Walk and Talk 
Like a politician.

Don't play a trick 
With me
By blinking your eyes
Dear lady
I know you are hungry
Like a tigress
And would leave 
Nothing for me 
If I offer my food 
To you.

Still,  you want to keep me 
In a  world of illusions
Till the next prey falls
For you
In the season.

You are doing all this
So that 
I may not
Know your moves
And intensions
And you may make
Your joyous attack
On my ways 
Whenever I move
To feel the 
Fresh air of the season.

But remember  
Hey 
You arrogant lady
Don’t move like a Cat
On my way
I know 
How to bell a Cat
When she is crazy 
For a walk and talk
Like a claver politician. 

I know you are not
In your senses 
You have drained
The whole bottle 
Down your throat

And you are 
In a senseless 
Stage of drunkenness
Still you want to 
Walk and Talk 
Like a politician

Hey 
Look you arrogant lady
Don’t move like a Cat
On my way

I know 
How to bell a Cat
When she is crazy 
For a walk and talk
Like a claver politician

Don't play a trick 
With me,
By blinking your eyes
Dear lady
I know you are
Behaving 
Like a seasoned actor

But I also know 
That
You are completely drunk
And can’t take
Any meaningful decision.

I know 
How to bell a Cat
Dear lady
When she is crazy 
For a walk and talk
Like a claver politician.
