I am hypnotized by her grace, <br />as she moves <br />languidly, <br />seductively <br />like a Thirties movie star. <br /> <br />I itch to touch her skin, <br />this velvet goddess <br />of the silver screen, <br />her silk chiffon sleeves <br />swirling about her. <br /> <br />I watch her mouth <br />pouting provocatively, <br />her grey goggle eyes <br />unblinking <br />mesmerizing me. <br /> <br />She is centre stage. <br />She is glamorous. <br />She is the Bette Davis of the fish tank.<br /><br />Alison Cassidy<br /><br />http://www.poemhunter.com/poem/velvet-goddess/
