The Lilies of Zanzibar Approaching from a far I marveled at their faces Dressed with the sensational flair of the beach Their magical beauty Sprinkled through my eyes Their exuding scent Waffled through my nose Their delicate touch Cascaded through my arms And for a momentI could hear them sing Their divine melodies of the oceans Casting my demons away And cooking charms of awe Within my heart As their petals swayed With the beat of the breezeI closed my eyes And for once I felt Alive I felt in Peace In Zanzibar
