The Shores of Alone

Oh magic Genie, come to me
I've found your centuries old home
come out and fulfill fantasies
as Genies everywhere are known.

I've contemplated all the odds
the chance of good, the evil twist
and now I rub my hands upon
to see your face appear in mist.

Don't ask me to wish only twice
for I have many needs today
though if you cannot give me thrice
I'll tell you now, which ones shall stay.

All children of the world have love
and by the way, I want it too.
Oh Genie, floating far above
your power holds the key unto

The door of peace and happiness
the one I knock at constantly.
Your magic can remove distress
make dreams become reality.

What payment shall you ask of me?
I fear you may not be so kind
But love is all that makes us free
as you are too, since I did find.

So, Magic Genie, lets begin
and don't demand my very soul
Help me bring love from where its been
lost in the hateful, blackest hole.


(This feels like it needs another verse, but I am stuck )

The missing verse you feel you lack,
(may I suggest?) we all dream of
is let not our hope fade to black
from your lamp shine the light of Love.

I didn't think it felt like it needed another verse. I like it just the way it is with the dark ending.

By the way, send that Genie over here. I've got a few wishes too

If she who dies with the most toys wins, then can I have some toy boys please?

No, I don't think another verse is in order.
But how about another poem?  One to take us deeper into this wish.  ???
(Seems such an odd thing, a wish.)

Great verse, but I bet if someone with the right touch and the right wishes for your happiness could let quite a Genie out of you!


Sincerely,
Regina
