Hey you from the other end of the line...

Hey you from the other end of the line
You say you like how my lips move when i talk
You say you can touch each lip with your fingers
Flip them like you can do a piano key, note after note
You say the sound of my voice on the receiver stops you
From thinking about the last time you kissed me
To thinking about the next time our lips will be locked
May be like the how a key is turned on a lock
You create an imagination of how the whole scene will be
You will put your hand on my neck and pull me closer to you
You will try to move your lips towards me to create a connection
I will feel it and i will give it back to you, lip after lip
I may have forgotten the taste of your saliva
But does it really matter....it does not bother you either
So i will not care either as long as your lips stick with mine

Hey you from the other end of the line
You say you love how the lashes of my eyes blink when we talk
You say you love how i gaze into your eyes for long hours
You wonder what goes on in my mind when i look at you like that
It always follows with a smile, you say, lips parting in slight ends
But you wonder if it is something that you have done or
It is something that i am going to do to you...but you don’t stop me
You look right back into the dark ball that is my pupil
Then you see yourself in there and you smile too
So you stick your eye there until i lose myself to you
I can hear the ruffles of you seat as you adjust to talk
You say my eyes are like that of an eagle...they see
Then they size...then they go for what they see and they rip
Every little bit of that which they saw till it is no more
You say that is what you want me to do to you...i keep looking

Hey you from the other end of the line
You say you love the quite of the morning
I tell you i love a quite morning by the shores of the sea
You say you want to wake up in the morning to watch my eyes closed
To feel my deep breath and to hear the sound of my heart beat
So you pull me to your chest and walk your hand through my hair
And feel my heart beat just the same time that yours beat and you love it
I love it too so i stay longer to listen to these two beats take turns
A musical emanates from this and escalates to another world
A world of silence...heavy breathes...scuffling sheets and heavy moans
I love the silent conversations that tell you do this, go here, touch that
Or i like it when you breath here...i love it when you swish your fingers there
Or take it slow...a little bit faster...stop right there...hold your breath
Oh then you toss me over and pull me closer and we start all over
Till we get home...yes we ride till we get right at home

Hey you from the other end of the line
If you do not like the silkiness of my upper garments or
You feel the jeans to rough on your skin...tear every little piece
Till nothing is left but shreds of fabric strewn all over the floor
Make me your slave and cuff me by your side...till you die
I will serve you in the morning in garments of flimsy nets ...oh
And i will give you every bit of my chocolate skin...take it, relish it
I will be at your service when the sun hits noon...you just have to call
And i will wait for you when the stars and the moon fill the sky
Serve you like the king that you are... at your feet...on my knees
Then you will adore me like the queen I am, walk me down the streets
Holding my hand high into the air you will tell the city to call me her highness
Alley after alley...cross over bridges...between stretched plantations
When my feet hurt from the walk, you lift me, carry me in your arm
Take me home, warm a bath, glide me gently in, roll your sleeves, wash down every dirt 

Hey you from the other end of the line
Don’t go just yet i still want a few more minutes with you
Let me tell you about you...how you make me feel...give me a minute
When you pick the phone and say hello, i listen to the sound before that
That sound of the connection just before you breathe your first and say hello
I can hear your heart beating so fast running towards my own and then I receive it
Then mine begins in heavy stagnant thuds like drums beaten by  heavy wood
Then you say your first hello, i can see your eyes gazing at the wall 
You have posed  your screen to that of me laughing in the air
My eyes are shut,my teeth are exposed, like maize seeds on a cob and my gap
The tiny space separates the upper middle teeth exposing my dark gums how you like
Your eyes locked onto little details of my shrubby hair to my neck
Then i say hello...you respond with a raspy laughter then a grin 
Can i see you tonight? You ask even though you know too well that you need not to
I am looking at your picture too...the hairs that cover the sides of your face
I love the way you smile, slightly, just enough for me to know that it is because of me
So you can put the phone down and come make me happy, i am waiting....
