To Ken, Love Barbie...
Remember when you named me Barbie?
I was your 6 ft hottie with the black Barbie body...
And you?
You were -and still are- my Ken.
Young, wise, thoughtful and kind-
body like Adonis and genius in the mind.
Caring, responsible, strong and sweet,
hard working, honest- You're a precious commodity!
Do you remember crayons at the table-
and rocket science lessons?
Rice paper letters-
and hidden musical messages?
Long talks past midnite-
and melodies by candlelight?
I still feel the tender way you held my hand,
as we stood in the middle of the floor to dance.
Thoughts mingle, minds intertwine,
our exchange is so fluid-
the feeling so sublime...
As we dip and swirl
on our mental dance floor-
I feel like a grown woman...
while knowing I'm your baby-
even if it's just for tonight.
The timber of your voice is more than bliss-
when compliments fall from your lips.
Your airplane has become my favorite too-
and every time "the mouse" moves,
I think of you...
If I had to tell a secret I guess it would be:
You'll always be my Ken. :*
Love,
Barbie
