You are Arthur Fonzarelli
leaned up against a jukebox that wont play
without a back fist and catch phrase.
You're James Dean
lighting a cigarette and the entire world on fire
with a single raised eyebrow and no regard for any of it.
You are Bette Davis
immortalized in song;
rousing lyrics every time you shift your line of vision,
simply lost in thought.
You're Sophia Loren in red
and a long cool woman in a black dress
that inspired all of classic rock.
You are every sex symbol that ever lived,
but the only one that's moved my pen.
You're the guitar riff that makes me want to learn
and every instrument played that got a guy some girl.
You are the hook in all my favorite tunes
and every word that's ever been stuck in my head.
You are the curiosity that kills
and the impulse that drives debt.
You're the momentum that's launched riots and revolution
then, candlelit vigils in remorse.
You are the dragon addicts chase to death;
the grain of truth behind every fairytale told
and the highest of hopes.
You're the dream of dreamers
and the fear of realists.
You are the pulse of athletes
and the calm of ocean tides.
You're the knot in my stomach and the convulsion of falling
while lying safely in bed.
You're a memory too prized to be forgotten
and the regret of hearts too stiff to speak in time.
You are every woman
I have ever loved, lost or wanted. _________________ shemovesme.wordpress.com

That's great, brach.
What I enjoyed most about this poem was that gender was no barrier/requirement for what makes a sex symbol. Super enjoyable. Would like to see even more pop culture related info in this.

Are "we" gender neutral?> NO, but let it be not a barrier to our lives.... Are we gender conscious and sexually fluid, (whatever that entails) ??? Well some of us are so yes, you touch us with your words. Thank you
