Poem

The Irresistible Zanzibar

By Anthony Muchoki

 1

There is something irresistible

There is something so unique

Something so wildly attractive

That makes your heart yonder

In unknown grandeur

Like in no other place on earth

That is Zanzibar

2

There is something irresistible

There is a force of nature  

So strong, so yielding 

So exquisite, 

That every tourist on earth

Wishes to visit Zanzibar

3

There is something irresistible

Something so rare 

The soul can only find it

Somewhere yonder 

In The Zanzibar Archipelago

4

There is something irresistible

The sudden  kairosclerosis

The tantalizing sweet breeze 

Transcends every emotion 

As you lookup 

The azure skies of Zanzibar

Or look at the dancing stars

Telling stories of life 

5

The sound  Zanzibar flute

The trained ears can hear

The broadcast to the universe 

The spices make the heart dance

Like in no other place on earth

That is Zanzibar
