Standing in a foreign landscape barren, lifeless, sand gritting beneath my feet. The sun beats down its midday punishment of radiant power, baking everything Wandering on, I feel I must keep moving, although I can't tell which direction I should pursue. My skin, tight and dry, my face, bright red, as I feel the heat burning into me In the distance, there is something... Could it be shelter? Civilization? Anything would be a welcomed break from our stars' relentless rays. Several structures make out shapes, surrounding a central prominent edifice. My god, the heat must be playing with my eyes, I see animals dancing. Entering the area, I re

All roads may lead to Rome, But only one leads to her heart, That road less travelled, And that has made all the difference. Djinn 20140506

Winter Snow As I watch the snow falling silently everywhere around me, I feel a sense of My place in the world. A small trivial place, that the world goes on, whether I do or not. Aptly, I think of you and know My place. Though small in comparison to Mother Earth's greater plan, it is with you I find peace and purpose. To be with you, guide and protect your heart, and to have Mine protected by you. Two souls in symbiosis, bound together for all time. In that moment, My place is greater than worlds. Djinn 20131126

Even The Big Bad Wolf Cries In recollection of times past, I see mistakes where others have been hurt, others who mean the world to me, and yet I have hurt them. I remember trying to fix things, to make things right again, only to watch each walk away over time, never being the same again. And each one, leaving a scar on my heart and on my mind. These were my best friends, and I hurt them. Unable to reconcile with the past makes me not want to remember anything, not want to see what has come before, the wake of destruction I've left. "I am not a monster. Really!" I tell myself, however I'm looking at evidence and having a difficult time bel

I Am I am on top. I am in charge. I am the one to whom others come for answers and directions. Day in and day out, I make the decisions that keep the organization living, breathing, alive. I am... nothing without her. she permeates My thoughts, My dreams. she is the one for whom I set goals for the future, make plans and work hard. she is Mine and no others. Day in and day out, she enables Me to be on Top. I am, because she is... Djinn 20130826

"Homeworld...", he whispered with a distant look in his eye. Then smiling a little and looking at me, "After all, its not like I'll be here forever, son." Those were the last words He said to me before closing his eyes and taking his last journey. My Dad had always enjoyed travelling, dragging my mom and I everywhere, showing us everything he'd seen in his life, sharing grand visions and extravagant stories. I often times thought He'd made some of it up, but with his last breath, I believed him. He'd mentioned feeling displaced before, not at home. But, this was different, as if He were looking somewhere He wouldn't be able to share with m

I've been here before. The end of the dock, edge of the known universe. One more step? No? Looks so peaceful. I'll just sit on the edge, basking in the quiet tranquility that is here for a moment before heading back into the fray of human existence. Djinn 20130312a

you are an addiction, you are a feel-good drug I never want to quit. At work, My mind wanders to you, your feel, your smell, your taste invades My senses. The memory of your sleeping form, as powerful as your waking smile, if not more so. I need to stop thinking, My work falling behind, but each breath, each blink, each beat of My heart brings Me to you. you are an addiction, you are My feel-good drug I never want to quit.

Friday Morning --- At the office, oddly quiet after a busy week, lights off but well lit from the window Time stops Low hum from the central air unit keeping a sense of grounded reality. The view from the window, blue skies over trees and rooftops, a solitary plane hangs in space... I wonder where it is going. Focus becomes scattered like a shotgun blast, each point crystalized and clear, each an individual thought There it is again, that plane in midspace, leaving again. Where was it going again? I feel the need, the pull, to go. I wonder what she's thinking... Djinn 20120323a
