Pearl of the Orient
Pearl of the Orient,
the archipelagic goddess of the Sea,
beautiful as the Magindara,
who's siren song calls to me,
her soul is as rich and sweet,
as the chocolate hills of her bosom,
terraces act as stairways to her heart,
where she bleeds of Red Jasper,
her eyes are lustrous and alluring,
glowing like star lanterns and fireflies,
the North Star and Southern Cross,
to my astronavigation of clinquant skies,
she is kissed by the Sun and caressed by the Moon,
forever cradled in an oceanic embrace,
esteemed by the Earth,
and as pure as the Sampaguita.
she is a pendant worn around the neck of our celestial body,
resting nearest to the heart,
its most precious gem,
Pearl of the Orient.
