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.
