Nette Onclaud Poet Free verse

Deja Vu In a City

I roamed among lucent stars through a baroque city
 Which  mirrored imprints from  past-life scenes,
Bringing me to tears about deja vu moments:  Awed by its 
avant-garde streak,  my  very essence left me reliving the arts held
dearly in adolescence: Such uptown elan!  The charmed cacophony
Of violins and guitars , of  warbles by dilettante poets
Along Brussels Street gave me carte blanche to explore 
Nights’ fired passion without ennui ...While the distinct air inhabited me-- 
This soul-connection was not time’s anomaly. My heart
knew I once dwelled    flourished here , as a bona fide lyricist...perhaps.

Frederic Parker January 25, 2018 at 9:11 AM in a sense, this could be true we are nothing more than flesh and bone around a point of energy, could be your own point of energy was there before trapped inside a different set of flesh and bone...a lyricist perhaps
