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.
