Deja vue...

There, there it is again
A place in time, I'd touched before
Where, where in when, I'd been again?
I reached for it, trying to touch once more

Just out of my grasp, the feeling swayed
None else it could have been
The thought, indeed that it was played
But, I didn't know it then.

This reads just like a dream or a dreamy feeling.
I especially liked this line:
"Just out of my grasp, the feeling swayed"

I always wonder why do poets choose a french title for an English piece. Just saying.
Thank you for sharing

I was trying to describe the feeling of Deja vue ! I don't know that there is another word for, or words that describe the situation. I will think upon the idea and mayhap come up with a new title in English. ~ Geezer.

the tone, feel, reach... that tantalising untouchability of the sensation.
You've caught it perfectly.
I couldn't resist a little reading, I hope my Aussie accent doesn't harm it.

Actually, you are way too kind. I merely managed to get what I was feeling into the script. Your accent is just right for this. Gave me a bit of a chill hearing it in that Aussie/British tone. It so much reminded me of "A Clockwork Orange" or perhaps a scene from "The Wall" I like the echoing sound of the whole thing. Yes, yes, post it, if you will! ~ Gee.

But glad you like the reading, interesting comparisons. As in America Aussie has several different accents. From broad Aussie through city to countrified and bourgeois, I guess mine is the latter.
