Marrakesh, at the Jemaa el Fna square,
my imagination stood still! The Medina (the old city center,)
grabbed me, stunning my senses, opening pores I didn’t know I had,
flooding me as I stood awestruck!
A splash of water leads you down an alley,
To a place where women paint your hands with henna,
and to hammams (Turkish baths,) in marble,
where soft strong hands caress your body and soul.
The aroma of mint tea pours through ancient doors
beckoning you to knock and enter,
and when you do you enter into the center of Riads,
Inner courtyards where columns of colorful zellige, (hand cut tiles,)
create an ambiance that make you feel like are living in a kaleidoscope.
High mountains of spices burst flavor like exotic kisses.
and snake charmers really do charm.
