A Tribute To Martin Denny

Bamboo stalks floating out of the mist
Merging with the moonlight streaming through the jungle leaves…
The Tiki rears its head

The sweet aroma of tropical fruit flits by
Warm air against tanned skin and
Soft petals

Shadows moving behind trees
Sensual suggestions at every glance
Nowhere to hide

Bright colors hiding from the moon
Flowers bow their heads
Monkeys chirp in their nests asleep

Vibes echo in the still air
Calling all to their dance
Tropical birds compete for the honor

Lithe brown bodies shimmer in the night
Apparitions emerging from the jungle
Tiki heads looming out from the dream

Fire reflecting off sweaty bodies
Moving in time to their last Zombie
The drums beat a sinful sound

Chimes weave into animal grunts
Grass skirts swishing around thighs
Feet stamping on packed earth, imitate the log

Laughing woman with the devil
Flowers to hide their dancing
Peeks are all the spectator receives

Watch for a price
Gold has no value to the hula
It falls from hands with the tinkling of a waterfall

Allow the night to wash minds clean
Primitive music relaxes
Drinks are served

The Tiki rears its head
