WHEN HE CALLS….
By Anonymous Onyx

When he calls from the shadows, to the shadows you quickly run
To listen to his voice and the seductive song that he sung
When he calls from the unknown, you remove yourself from the rest
You whisper in solitude – your voice becomes so soothing as his voice caresses
When he calls from the shadows, you stop what you do and neglect who you know
Now no longer can you watch TV or listen to the radio
Because when Jamaican Teddy P calls, you want to “Turn off the lights” but never do you say “I think I better let it go”

 
When he calls, you have to get off the line with your hubby
for some undisclosed urgency
As if discussing the contour of you backside is really some unforessen emergency
When he calls with his accent and broken dialect,
Changes in your demeanor, voice, speech, become apparent and manifest
The way you giggle and speak in 007 spy code – you don’t want to snitch
Evasive, monosyllabic, and low volume pitch
When he calls from the shadows, you are not on the offensive just responsive and defensive
Everything is funny when he calls...almost too funny….so funny you wish he would quit
Yet when he calls, you still want it,
You flaunt it and love when he gives it

When he calls…Mr. Shadow causes a little girl effect in you
Presumably suggesting what he would do to you and for you
That your man wouldn’t do.
When he calls you’re enticed by his voice
Thus, I get disconnected so he can stay on course
When he calls your fantasy is rekindled
Taken to a new but familiar new place by your secret Screwface
When he calls and you feel you can’t freely talk
You take out your frustration and displeasure on others, starting arguments, as if it is their fault
As a result, you may get subdued, distant, or sulk.

 
When he calls he presumably asks ‘Are you alone?” or “Is your man at home?”
Response “No” followed by “What’s going on?”
When he calls – with his flirtatious jabs, you dodge for a minute
But you let him know – when he calls next time, “He’s gonna get it!”
When he calls to give you your fantasy injection
He gets his own little erection
His West Indian song gets your aural detection
When he calls – we all know what’s on his mind
“While your man wines and dines ya…Ill just creep up from behind”
