Short Doppelganger Poems

I don't know how this world has survived with two of me...

I awake to see
My own soul staring at me
Doppelganger Dream.
...

Read More

That wasn't me,
it was her.
The Doppleganger
I concur.
Evil doings,
On the square
I promise,
I wasn't there....

An impish doppelganger, Bea
liked nothing more than to run free
	strange feelings she shook
        turned around to look.
It unsurprisingly was she!...

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....

It's said each one of us has a double
It's called a doppelganger, I would have trouble
A look-alike brethren
Sure gets my attention
Hope he's younger than this old dirigible...

Doppelganger, what a strange name
It means there is a person the same
As I look, talk, walk and think as I do
I wonder if this is true
Oh, Gee
Which one of us would be astonished
The Doppelganger or me...

There's a doppelganger that looks just like me
Everyone has an evil twin, mine's nasty as can be
But I save the day
With my charming ways
Not to brag but I'm the charmingest from “see to see”...

Read More

pulling words from the space between
the open arms of c's that never meet
no glue will fix mistakes that live within the past
My doppelganger lies beside me head to to toe
Anonymous keeps the twins as prisoners
and all fits me
but suits you...

Read More

Mirror, mirror, reflecting me backward, 
Causing there to be two. 
I spy a lost cat, 
I wonder if she'll hide. 
Twist and turns throughout the rose garden 
It all looks the same. 
Forwards and backward, lost in the garden, 
let's continue to play....

Read More

In dreams she reaches for me,
She is me and I am her;
We walk a cemetery,
And she leads the way.

We stand at a mossy tomb,
And I see my name engraved;
I am her and she is me,
But which is living.

In the darkness she lies still, 
Her closed eyes do feel my stare
Each breath she takes fills my lungs
Her thoughts, our minds, run

Her fears flood right through my veins
She twitches and turns for me
She is me and I am her
Our hearts beat as one

me and my doppelgänger
always fight with each other
one is reasonable and
other - eccentric

one is drunk - in poetry
other - sunk in business
the fight continues - but still,
both go hand in hand

bright eyes gleaming with mischief
gentle compassionate views
determinedly ambitious
me sober and free

glazed eyes full of hate and fear
anger mixed with self pity
high drama - no coping skills
alcoholic me

A man stood there at mirror
Mirror gave him the horror
Himself and his duplicate
He saw two images

So he replaced the mirror
And then stood with his head down
The result remained the same
Images did not wane

Doppelganger




Treason

Creeping in total darkness,
No wait for any sunshine,
Day he betrayed my true love,
passion bled to death.

All yearnings laid to rest,
bliss was only a deceit,
Wreathed my soul, whipped unsaid words
of treacherousness.

A middling, one-eyed person,
yet one thinking she's sexy, 
seen cussing a too fast car 
in Carson City.

A one-eyed, middling person,
yet one thinking she's sexy, 
seen cussing a too slow car
in unknown city.

we must be
some where

i look at you
you look at

an endless poppy field
flowers matching ruby

shoes wanted by a 
water melted witch

which happens to
be a doppelganger

of hang on here
everyone in the

land of oz is
from kansas

but the hookah
smoking caterpillar

takes another drag
puffs and asks

but
who is
Glinda?...

This tangible double of myself
I am angelic, she is demonic
Identical but with an eerie twist
My Ora is white and her's is black.
Am I glancing at my reflection?
No. For as I smile, her glare is blank.
The only luck she brings is bad
Driving me to shut her out
I mostly cloak myself in light
Until she came into the night
And made me quake in my skin
This doppelgänger belonging to me....

Mirrored doors and windows, the same cars and gardens.
Twenty-Four-hour stores in the center of doppelganger suburban streets.
Where do the animals play?
With views of splendid tranquility, how do we people sleep?
The lights do not end, scattered particles across natures body, lighting the way for clones.
A tour of accidental means has opened my mind and haunted my dreams.
This will last.
This will be all....

Within the fortress
Of her own volition
His likeness is everywhere

Maybe it's a ghost
But it's a powerful one
She can't
Perceive it

Hands-on the chest
She can now hear
Stillness

However, this is mere
A brief respite
That's where it ends
In a state of alertness
Of the subconscious

As
She is gasping for air
His doppelganger
Oxidizes

In perfect time
We waltz and wait;
The steps we take
Are image mirrored.
The world upon 
It's axis spins;
The musical lilt
Engages, begins.
Matched, akin
Doppelganger statues;
Animated frame
By frame.
Skirt each ledge
With eagle caution,
Yet things will
Never be the same.
No ties, no strings,
No force of will,
For hearts and minds
In parallel.
We dance and wait
In symbiosis;
Only time
Will truly tell....

If I had to say for sayings sake
Just because a friend wanted to know
If I was a dog, what kind would I make?
I don't like the heat so give me some snow

A Saint Bernard rescuing the stranded
seems my kind of a rural life
No big city kitties could I be branded
No yorky cuddled with a house wife

Depth, strong, solid, loyal and helpful
That's what I have in me to be
Though along the way I'll make a snow angel 
Then learn to snowboard and ski!...

I've been looking for people who look like you.
You'll never be here, so they'll have to do.
I hate that you smile in a similar way,
Yet I need the resemblance, and can't look away.

I've been loving the people who look like you. 
And it hurts that it's not, but what else can I do?
You made me so happy, but left me in tears,
I'm lonelier now than I have been in years.

I'm losing the people who look like you,
Please don't say that I'm losing you too....

Empty as a Halloween pumpkin
Flat as a punctured tire
I note myself on the screen
In a t-shirt with Messiah 
I almost said howdy mate
But next second I realized
He doesn’t care of my fate
Though he won’t be at all surprised
To meet his doppelganger 
He’d probably buy me a drink
He’d look from a different angle
On every subject I link
Eventually I would see
That he’s not like me at all
“Thanks for the wine and tea,
I’d say, “now its time to go”.
