At A Restaurant Poem by Gert Strydom

At A Restaurant

Rating: 5.0


I once went to a restaurant
called the tent
somewhere in Sea point
and the owner laid a feast
of lamb stew
and rice in front of me.

The Turkish coffee
was without sugar
and extremely strong,
but a belly dancer
danced up to me
and smiled sweetly
and every motion
had a rhythm of its own.

There was electricity
when I danced along
and passion glowed
in her dark eyes.
