Caveman love
by A. Nelson 21.APR.11
VS. 1:
What a one night stand –
Love,
Dear, youâve given to me!
Thatâs a real caveman,
Love!
What else can it be?
You grabbed and engulfed me –
In your big arms;{{more}}
And ransacked my body,
Using those crude palms!
Could I have resisted?
No! There was no way!
You therefore persisted,
Damaged and ran away!
CHORUS:
Caveman Love,
Dear, your short visit lasted few hours;
Caveman Love,
But the way you did it, made me âdig horrorsâ!
The way that you make love, dates back to the cave!
Your touches crude and rough – Uh, a tidal wave!
Your voice loud and gruff, as you misbehaved!
Your roughed up love fest, leaves much sore and pain!
If drought should strike my fields, I donât want your rain!
So Iâm begging you please – Never come again!
Caveman Love (3x).
VS. 2:
Your reputation,
Love,
Is Notoriety!
But your âawesomeâ charm –
Love,
Cast a spell on me!
When I heard your gruff voice,
I was so afraid!
That I made my sole choice:
Left you to parade;
And now my emotion,
Youâve badly destroyed!
And on my whole human,
Scars you have deployed!
VS. 3:
I heard you were near,
Love,
So I did prepare,
For what I did hear –
Love,
A special affair,
But now I regret,
The experience!
So until my last breath,
Please keep your distance!
Iâm also very glad,
So short was your stay,
Or now Iâll be cold dead –
Were it a whole day!
Notes:
(i) âCaveman Loveâ is a poem which was written to reflect (in figurative language) how the nation of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines felt in the aftermath of Hurricane Tomas. The mere fact that nearly the whole population was experiencing the full effect of a hurricane for the first time, it is the view of the writer that this poem is a reasonable exposition of the mood of the nation days after the hurricane struck.
(ii) The poem describes a âone night standâ love making encounter between a lady and a very popular and chauvinistic male love-icon who was also noted for a rather notorious reputation. The lady did not mind having such rough love making encounters and was eagerly, if not cautiously waiting for this particular occasion; but was grossly disappointed when it did happen.
(iii) Her disappointment is summed up in the entire chorus; and in expressions as seen in some of the lines such as: the last four lines in Vs. 2, and the last six in Vs. 3.
