Deja Vu
I mark the time of our meeting by the still beat of my heart. Stroked by the momentary skip of the rhythm of it's chambers.
Unnerved I am frozen solid as seconds pass into minutes. Nothing moves or is released from me, not even my breath_ astonishing as it sounds… I still stand and I still live.
Even in this moment of dismay I exist neither to take nor to give_ only to simply exist as if existence is all that is needed. There, within the face of all faces I see a dream come true. True to life, true to hope. true to the wonders of a wish. As sure as a coin is tossed into a well_ I am captivated entranced by a spell.
Another minute has now passed before a shallow exhale escapes gaping lips. An exhale forced by nature totally without consciousness. For how can I think, how can I move my eyes to blink _blink- blink! No! nooo
I dare not, for fear you’ll go within a wink. Call your name I say softly now. Call his name as I have done time and again for we have repeated this a million times _ we have, me and you. In my dreams, in my mind, in my "Deja Vu"
