the two strangers met
in a sunny afternoon
feeling deja vu

I missed every red flag
Rewinding in my mind the telltale signs
I was a naive fool

Deja Deja Vu

Hours screaming,
futures pleading,
eternity portends
Voices crying,
souls denying
—as darkness comes again

Premium Member We Met In Another Time and Place

Eyes spy
Feelings start
From the Spirit
Inner Core, Deja vu
No way



Why not
Attached
It can not work
Committments already made
Settled

Deja Vu

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

Deja Vu

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.

Deja Vu

Every writer from
Yestergone,
Living on,
Soon to come crosses one another finger-path ink of thoughts.
Here & now,
Compositions only read unapproachable.

A Three Hour Tour

Two friends set out to sail the sea,
Huh? They did not ask you or me,
I heard strong winds blew through,
it sounds like deja vu...
now they're drinking coconut tea!

Deja Vu

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

Premium Member Camelot Deja Vu

   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

LIEFE

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...

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

Deja Vu

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.

Sadly Mistaken

Across a sea of strangers
an unexpected chill
a tingle reaches for my toes
heart refuses to be still

I don’t know your face
but still a sense of deja vu
I thought I felt your essence
thought for sure it must be you

Sequence of Events

Previously seen in Opium dreams,
These scenes of Deja-Vu
Future reference balance beams
(The Present misconstrued)
In retrospect, I do reflect,
"Did I see the warning signs?"
Time is met with sheer suspect
As Life rewinds the past unkind

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~~

Deja Vu

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.

Leaving New Tracks

Born young again myself befriends,
the years all left behind
To wither and die one last goodbye
then bury into time
Born young until myself instilled
as deja vu reminds
Of Autumn snow my heart aglow
—new memory in rhyme

(Dreamsleep: October, 2021)

Premium Member Deja Vu

 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

Deja Vu

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.

Maybe it’s the gravity of your eyes 
always pulling me in, 
goosebumps and deja vu prickling;
Nothing matters when I’m with you; 
Electric pull and my pulse jumps;
Try and pry apart attraction 
instead I become more metallic; 
Corralled by the force, you’re magnetic.

Deja Vu Days

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

Deja Vu

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
