Goddess of Gold

Enthralled by this alluring sight, Locals slaver from my sultry delight Glossy laurels of evergreen, Living embodiment of a queen In the tropics I'm mostly adored, Even dream up of tales and lore Craves the taste of my luscious like Tickles lips, this succulent ripe Throughout the years, three decades old Still covered with peels of gold.
