Premium Member wondering what could have been

I thought she was my doppelganger
I did not approach her, nor she me then
1972 in an airplane hanger
I wonder now what could have been

Premium Member Bea Me

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

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.

The Swap

Flip flop,  
Tick tock,  
Time goes.

Stealing,  
Swapping,  
He or she knows. 

Your place,  
Your space,  
They desire.

Backstabber,  
Doppelganger,  
For hire.

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

Inside Tableau

Away from the light,
Somewhere out of view,
A stranger holds sway,
A recalcitrant,
Obstinate darkness,
A doppelganger.

Premium Member One of Us Is Enough

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
Form: Rhyme

Premium Member let me clone myselof and bi locate

It would be handy to clone and bi-locate
I’d fool my cousins – Kerney and little Kate
My doppelganger and I would eat in a café where they eat
If they saw both of me at once, their screams would sound sweet.

Premium Member A Doppelganger

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”
Form: Limerick

Suits You

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

Cat In the Mirror

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.

Premium Member My Ghostly Doppelganger


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.

Doppelganger - Contest

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

Doppelganger



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

Premium Member Jekyll and Hyde - Doppelganger

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

Premium Member Doppelganger Of The Sky

At these freckled stars I sit and marvel,
some so delightfully microscopic;
A piece of this universal puzzle 
casts it’s spell over me so hypnotic;
Oh what a vision it leaves me tearful
with one gaze I’m left optimistic;
Your skin’s a doppelgänger of the sky, 
and it’s got me feeling recklessly high…

Dodoitsu Doppelganger

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.

Premium Member They Should Meet

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.

In Sanity

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?

My Doppelganger

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.

Tour

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.

Premium Member Volition

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

Symbiosis Waltz

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.

My Dog Doppelganger

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!
