Night Shadow
©2015, Olan L. Smith
Her long, lush legs wrap round; her heels force
Him inward demanding deeper
Drive, and guaranteed climax
Fitting for her desires.
No tawdry sex for
Her. She demands
Endurance
Or death,
And
Yet
Beside
Him her hips
Sway bidding care
From all who gaze on
Her, but she belongs to
Him. She is his night shadow,
She comes for him in darkness, with
Her heart against his chest―she quenches.

A single nonet poem has nine lines with nine syllables in line one and then each line has one syllable less until line 9 has only one syllable.
