Taste the air.
Sweet and hot.
Jasmine caresses across the tongue.
Sip espresso.
Spice envelopes floral.
Intoxicating embrace. Where I belong.
Hugged in silk
By overstuffed cushions.
Hiding the rough raffia chair.
Verdigris dolphin dances,
On central fountain,
enjoying ecstasy without a care.
Water joins in the game
To leap beneath
Hexagon bowl and beyond.
To land on tiles,
Blue, white and gold,
Marbled marvelled inlaid on floor and pond.
Droplets hit mosaics,
Sizzle to steam,
Minuscule hiss lost under sound of crickets.
Courtyard sand stone,
Hides the world,
To stay in here. What life, this is!
