Deja Vu (Free Verse Sonnet) Poem by Gert Strydom

There is something in your pupils when I look at you,
where your eyes are saying a thousand words,
when bright fresh like the morning you do look to me,
as if the most wonderful day in my life does begin
and when your perfume does hang around us,
when you are against me and do embrace me tightly,
when I catch your expression and your deportment right,
do notice you as a human and also as a beautiful woman
and do tell you about how you are turning my life around,
that like deja vu between us things does come,
where between the lines there is meaning
then you are happy, astonished and perplexed,
where the only happy place is for us to be together
and you do gaze open mouthed at me as you do also bare knowledge of this.
