The Palace of My Mind

Welcome to the palace of my mind,
take off your shoes, find much to amuse
in knowledge of provocative kind.
Come, sit where you will, if you've time to kill,
feast on fantasies sweetly refined;
neither pauper nor king would refuse a thing,
all would say they had royally dined
at the banquet of one poet's mind.

Venture freely in this opulent place,
waft into romance, bask in happenstance,
expand yourself, take up some space.
Inhale my tranquility, stave off senility,
prance forth with incredible grace;
savour with relish this moment to cherish,
to smooth every line on your face
and explore every nook in the place.

Enter my rhapsodic world
where music is endless and nobody's friendless,
each toe so deliciously curled.
The spine's ever-tingling, aromas co-mingling
while tensions are gently unfurled;
leave life, rise above it, admit you might love it
as you touch Heaven's gates, finely pearled.
Be certain, you're welcome in my world.
