Girl with a Bagi

I am mesmerized with your fragrance
You shine as brightly as the sun
Your shadows are as pretty as the moon
Your figure sparkles like the eastern star
You walk elegantly like a pacific princess
Her hair is curly like the ocean waves
Around your neck,
Is a pearl necklace
Of our native Milne Bay
Where the sun rises
You’re the daughter of the ocean
My Goddess Aphrodite
And the choice of my parents
I worship you with my eyes
NOTE FROM THE AUTHOR:
Bagi: traditional shell necklace
