Poetry: Vixen

You look at me
with smoldering eyes.
You part your lips
ever so slightly.

Enthralled as I am,
I know your subtle game.

An enticing dress
covers your long legs.
Moving with fluid grace,
almost without thought.

All eyes watch you,
as you soak up our adulation.

My mind clouded,
foggy with your essence.
Subtle changes free me,
clearing my head.

My eyes become shrewd,
I see your wake.

I watch them
watch you.
In the air
I feel their lust.
Watching with idle amusement,

I silently laugh.
They don't know you.

I smile at you,
wondering if you notice.
Your hold on me severed,
my heartstrings untugged.
A vixen in flesh;
an angel in soul.

You have them fooled,
but me no longer.

I like this one because I feel like anyone could relate to this piece. I know this probably isn't what it's about but when I read this, I thought of a man who had fallen in love with a dancer in a stripclub and how no one saw the true her like he saw her. But this poem could go in any direction and be related by any man who saw a girl like no one else in her world does.
