deja you

wandering under clear blue mountain skies
lost but happy in a city i didn't know
i felt free yet safe
exploring those neatly laid out squares
opening into avenues lined with elegance
as foreign to me as the language being spoken

a careless turn found me in an alley
that somehow didn't seem to belong
unpolished
a little wild
not quite seedy but almost
irresistible all the same
a charming weed
sprouting in a well-planned garden

i felt i'd slipped into a place i'd been before
though home was half a world away

and there you were

when our eyes met
i whirled in a kaleidoscope
of sound and color
remembering exactly what i wasn't sure
except i'd known you in another time
another place
another life

and you were spinning in that memory with me
and i reached up to touch your face
but couldn't somehow

your mouth never moved
as you said
this is not the time
this is not the place
this is not the life
words i felt rather than heard
syllables prickling along the skin
of my outstretched arm

and though we never touched
i was on fire
as i stared into your eyes
so dark and deep i felt like
i was dropping down a well

and never turning
you stepped back
our eyes still locked
and melted
into a doorless windowless house
i'm sure wasn't there
until that very moment

wait i cried
but you were gone
locked away
behind the impenetrable plaster walls
of another time
another place
another life

and i am left in the here and now
with nothing
but bits of colored glass
broken mirrors
and the echo of a melody i know
but cannot name
