Tradewinds

all senses under attack
stirred whirlwinds of exotic music
dance in tango heart and soul

aromas of patchouli myrrh and frankincense
have me floating six inches off the ground
trinkets from around the world
a mosaic oozing with mystique
exotic flair whispered in foreign dialects
cultures mingling at the market place

a mermaid chant serenading me
to seaward whimsical adventure
drifting off to faraway lands
an all too eager mind dizzy
soaking in this sizzling myriad
of flamboyant colors
and sumptuous textures

my heart regenerated
my soul ecstatic
twirls with excitement
the world indeed a global village
beauty bold of art
shared across the lands
enchantment imported overseas
mystically inspired awe
speaking to my heart
a cyclonic journey
quenching the drought
of my very soul
