the two strangers met
in a sunny afternoon
feeling deja vu

You're mad, I'm insane
Playing the déjà asked game
You pretend it's new
Dodging the truth word for word
I can't tell until it's heard
I missed every red flag
Rewinding in my mind the telltale signs
I was a naive fool
Wordku: 5-7-5 words

Hours screaming,
futures pleading,
eternity portends
Voices crying,
souls denying
—as darkness comes again
(Dreamsleep: October, 2020)
You might think this is really hard core
He fell and hit his head on the floor
He had Deja Vu
And amnesia too
He thought have I forgot this before?
Depending on your mind,
Entirely a taste of perception;
Just a bit, double vision
Add to it, maddening familiar
Va va va, Boom!
Uncanny; already happened
In lives past, a silent rue,
Whispers dance, déjà vu.
Familiar paths, memories accrued,
Time's echo is a mystic brew.
Past and present entwined, anew.
Every writer from
Yestergone,
Living on,
Soon to come crosses one another finger-path ink of thoughts.
Here & now,
Compositions only read unapproachable.
Form:
While speaking on the phone
She said
I’m having a Deja vu
Of talking to you and doing laundry
I replied
What kind of Deja vu
She said
Of talking to you and doing laundry
Here's the job for you
"Plenipotentiary" ~
Nah. Been there. Done that.
Note: Not an entry in the
'Exploding Laughter
Contest'
In the name of a certain Kennedy
I hope you'll take me seriously
Ask not what 2024 can do for you
Ask what you can add
~ and follow through
What if,
We all strangers travelling the same road
What if,
We all desperate souls trapped in our own existence
What If,
We just lost and found beings
What if...

Deja Vu
Tea For Two
Long Time GrandMa
Look at You!
Been Awhile Since you Bid Adieu
So Glad for this Rendevous
You seem so Happy in your New Milieu
Someday
I will Join You Too
Form:
Like if I'm living in a flashback.
I don't learn.
I get burned.
I will take you back.
Nothing changes but the place and time.
I fall for the lies each time.
I must be dense.
I keep going back for a repeat.
Never
is there a
deja vu~though
stories tell of
finding duplication of
past happenings~
this is the
first and last
happening
as it is~
yet
deja vu
sticks with
the story
which is also
as it is~~
The life I lived was
So exciting that I smiled
Each time something new
Occurred in one of
My days and I remembered
It as if it was
A thing that I had
Gone through before, Déjà vu,
Sometime past, somewhere.

When jasmine scents the springtime air
A deja vu begins to bloom
A lovely flower ever near
A memory caught in its perfume
When a summer breeze kisses azure skies
and a certain song begins to play
A deja vu begins to rise
As in the melody you sway
THOUGHTS OF YESTERDAY
BEGAN TODAY
AND FORMULATED AFTER TOMORROW.
MY FUTURE THOUGHTS
ARE NOT QUITE HERE
TILL THEN I HAVE TO BORROW
TRAVELING FASTER
THAN TIME ITSELF
I WAS HERE BEFORE I ARRIVED
SOMETHING KIND OF
SORT OF LIKE
I WAS BORN BEFORE BEING ALIVE
Time rolls by
As it throws down impressions
Of people and places
And these echoes
Remain anchored in the years
These impressions you feel
May leave you ill at ease
A feeling of Déjà vu
‘I’ve been here before’
As unmeasurable dark matter.

These days seem familiar
Like my messy hair,
Each memory; a strand of hair
Every brushstroke
I see flashbacks of renowned moments
Distant memories; they begin to fade
Every brushstroke
Putting my hair in place
Now looking like beauty and grace
Ready to begin my day
I know you like deja vu
I've seen your face before... somewhere
Your words are familiar like an echo from long ago
As if I knew your mother
Your sister and brother
You're like deja vu
I watch you and forget to blink
Your every smile and gesture
I've been here before
Listen to poem:
I've seen that face, I see in crowd
I know that new place, on arrival
I've felt all this familiarity
I know, I know this being
has all been there before.
Past lives, past sense,
past tense, become alive
in present tense,
evoked by the yearning
for context, meaning
in the empty void.
I Finally Figure Out How To
Express A Thought Simply...
And Refine The Words To
Their Core, For Effect...
***
Then I Come Back To It
Later, And It Surely Means
The Opposite Now...
!!!!!!
Perhaps I Had
Generalized Just Right?

I often experience deja vu
When brushing my teeth or having a poo
Like opening my bedroom door
I feel I’ve experienced this before.
It’s certainly freaky is it not
Like starting to sweat when it gets hot
I don’t know where I don’t know when
But I suspect these things will happen again.
There was an old woman who lived in a shoe!
She had so many kids she didn't know who was who!
So naïve was she that from whence they came she had no clue!
Surprise! Quints were on the way - a classic case of deja vu!
