Djinn View
I’ve enjoyed writing for many years. I'm dedicating more time to the craft in my retirement days.
Djinn View
The image comes into view
Moves, approaches until it’s right in front of you
Over your head and behind you
Alongside you and all around you
Turns deftly, subtly to mist and smoke
Now on you
In you
Until you
Somehow mistify and then fly
Ghostily into the bottle
Djinn
Brings you in
The image shimmers into view
Moves, approaches until it’s seated beside you
Arm over your head and behind you
Alongside you and now around you
Leans quickly, not subtly in to kiss
Not in you
For you
So then you
Quickly disentwine and hard smack
Hastily the glistening face
Djinn
And you grin
The image fades out of view
Moves, approaches but it’s out of the sight of you
Touches your head, moves behind you
Alongside you and swims around you
Starts swirling, curling to pleasant haze
Now grabs you
Spins you
Until you
Again mistify and then blast
Vaporly out of the small bore
Djinn
(S)he stays in
The image hides out of view
Rants, reproaches, and acts like a young child of two
Gets in your head, moves to faze you
Beckons to you, then threatens you
Just words first, then health, body and mind
Angers you
Moves you
Until you
Push, twistify stopper in bore
Djinn
And you win
The image will stay forever with you:
Corked green bottle bob-bob-bobbing slowly out of view...
