Deja Vu

I awaken on the couch

And roll over

Dark hair a bit messy

Big black hoodie

And a pair of boxer shorts

And all of a sudden

I am taken back

To another time

Another place

In my past

I wake up and roll over

I'm in that basement

That served as our home

It contained my soul

For oh, so long

There she lay on the couch

Her dark hair is messy

She wears a big hoodie

And the TV is still on

I stared into the face 

Of the woman, who

Was my whole world

A woman who,

Was my own mother

I admired the way

Her ponytail let loose

A few wisps of hair

Framing the face, that was beautiful

At the time

A face that I thought

Looked sort of like mine

She awakens and smiles

"Hey baby what's new?"

And as I was set free from this Deja Vu 

I remember my next lines

So clear, so distinct

I remember saying,

"Mommy, look, I'm just like you!"

Please

Free me from

This 

Deja Vu

I wonder if Deja vu and flash backs are the same thing

darn it ricochet, you caught me. I was just referring,however to the feeling of waking up and thinking that id seen it somewhere bfore.... when i first wake up my brain, much like ajybody elses.... doesnt comprehend flashbacks very well

I enjoyed this very much. I could see that you are a deep thinker and the imagery was great. In short I look forward to reading more of your work.

wow...completely took me by surprise. at first i thought it was going to be an ode to your mother but then it got darker and the ending just clinched it. i really enjoyed this. well done!

Well, I've written a few poems about that dear mother of mine, but This is the one that I put the most of ME into, if that makes any sense.

Thanks
