A POEM FOR A SPECIAL PLACE
by Ben Aicha

My larger BODY, my tropical paradise,
The home for ART & nature lovers, the WISE

Tarzan’s nest is the place to taste what is REST,
For those who can see with their hearts, the feeling at its best,
The depth of simple beauty,
Living in the world of the genius,
The world of the ARTS,

where one forgets in a second the illness of the city,
to connect with the magic of the eternal,
as the spirit leaving the sleeping body to take you to the dream world,
everyone meets every night,
rising up from the raw natural materials,
the living BODY of the NEST.

You will be struck by the freedom expression,
That is still living and vibrating through the various free shapes,
Keeping its particularities,
Yet containing the universal,
All standing in harmony,
Within the ART-chitectural structure,
Where its beauty melts in the frozen music,
To keep alive its STILL rhythm within the rare symmetries.

Some say where is our privacy,
I say, it is honestly said but rather sad to see,
That most, luck imagination,
And keep living in the past, recall out of memory,
How a house should be.

Closed doors and high walls,
Turning their living places to larger COFFINS,
Missing the essential,
The subtle friendship with mother nature.

From every corner, ocean and mountains,
offer their complete nakedness,
standing undisturbed under heat and rain,
in pride containing all the pain,
as a faithful bride committed to the secret pleasure in your eyes,
stripping for your dormant senses with suggestion of beauty,
to give you a chance to unveil the genius in you!

Fools are those who close their doors to the gifts of nature,

Tarzan’s widely open features,
Show the greatness of an open mind,
To welcome with NO FEAR,
The ferocious forces of nature.

For they are instantly pacified,
Whenever they meet true love, through wide open arms,
Doors & windows, are always in a welcome stand,
For nature to meet and embrace the floors of the nest,
to consume its anger on a peaceful play ground
to heal or die in what is real,
rewarding my sensitivity to the music of the unbound!

Time for the various winds and the gentle breeze,
To soothe your soft skin, baked in the sun,
For with air-CON, there is no fun!

Some say is Tarzan’s nest better than the rest?
I say that is not fare, for there is nothing to compare,
This question is rather an offence,
To come and visit is my best defense!

Tarzan’s nest,
Is the place of my imagination, On CAMIGUIN,
The island of your imagination,

SEE YOU THERE,
to learn how TO BE …aware…of the beauty of your SELF!
