Barbie Love
Pig tails and skipping ropes
Starry eyes that glitter in the pale moonlight
Counting candles, as lofty dreams germinate in their tiny temples
Aspiring to the heavens, wannabe Barbies mastering the trade of flight
To soar in to the open skies, as cocoons are absented by dazzling butterflies,
Svelte creatures fluttering their gossamer wings
God ‘s bounty of tantalizing curves and generous coastlines
Snaring gorging eyes, magnetized stares
Of men and boys alike, telepathic puppeteers
Of a paltry gender endowed the game of the chase, the legacy of testosterone
As they wag their tales and tongues, playful creatures
Tethered to soaring hemlines and plunging necklines
The tease of the sway, the dilemma of the gaze
The suppleness of the breasts, the sensuality of the lips
As earthly goddesses walk circles around tranced postures
Pirouetting gazes caught in the whirlwinds of lust
Lost in a fog of pheromones, flushed in to bouts of passion
Entrapment within labyrinths for the meek-hearted, domesticated mice of Hamlin
Queuing up for Barbie worship, as hearts are trampled
In the battle of the sexes on Venus's backyards
Boy toys, hush puppies, wide-eyed babies
Enlisting for the slavery of Barbie love
