Christine Phillips Poet Narrative

Conversation with you

The world is angry with you just for not been you
The world is angry with you, for wasting the time of your youth
I have waited for three decades just to have a conversation with you
But you keep coming and going hoping and procrastinating
While the questions keep floating in my head, 
and reality move closer to the bed and the orchestra
is screaming above me sending ripples into the sea.

I have waited for three decades to have a conversation with you.
And know about the things you do and to listen to your praise, 
as you grow stronger in our age.

I have waited for three decades to have a conversation with you
Just to say how do you do, but you keep dodging all the time
And sending codified message through the grape vine
I never get them; I only hear people talking about them
 but I don’t understand them.

I don’t really know who is who  and who is wearing your shoe
But I heard that you have more than a hundred of them and jewelry 
Box that is stacked to heaven, with a message from Queen Elizabeth 
the second on her first visit to Elysee Palace in Paris 
with a secret growing in her belly date May 1948.

It time to come out of the shadows
And returned what you have borrowed
And have a conversation with me
before the wave takes everything back to the sea.

We have to talk about many things that are hidden in the dark
I cannot phantom them all, for if you are taken too seriously
It will cause a global brawl; the investors understand it all
 And you must wait for the call.

This conversation is long due, 
and the whole world is waiting on you, 
work up the courage and Mother Nature 
will accompany you and show you what to do.

 We can meet at the bar, in the streetcar, 
or in cozy restaurant at the corner of the street
Or at the park with water running down the stream at our feet

 I must have a conversation with you 
to roll back the dark cloud that exist between me and you
I didn’t know what I did for heaven was watching me and you
A conversation will help me to do my best
And the heavens will cover the rest
