Deja Vu
I mark the time of our meeting
by the still beat of my heart
stroked by the momentary skip
of the rhythm of it's chambers
unnerved I am frozen solid
as seconds pass into minutes
nothing moves or is released from me
not even my breath
astonishing as it sound
I still stand
and I still live
even in this moment of death
I exist neither to take nor to give
only to simply exist
as if existence
is all that is needed
there within the face of all faces
I see a dream come true
true to life true to hope
true to the wonders of a wish
as sure as a coin is tossed into a well
I am captivated entranced by a spell
another minute has now passed
before a shallow exhale escapes gaping lips
an exhale forced by nature
totally without consciousness
for how can I think
how can I move my eyes to blink
blink- blink! No! nooo
I dare not for fear you’ll go within a wink
call your name
I say softly now
call your name
as I have done time and again
for we have repeated this
a million times _ we have
me and you
In my dreams
in my mind
in my "Deja Vu"
