They Meet At A Nightclub Poem by Gert Strydom

They Meet At A Nightclub



They meet at a nightclub
and dance on the pace
of a drawing rhythm.

She’s pretty and blonde and slim
and he’s tall and well built
and they smile at each other
and there’s sparks
That flies between them
and it’s just a boy and a girl.

Two people are for long moments
caught up with each other
and the dancing with each other
makes intimacy grow between them.

JC Le Roux sparkling wine
and Cape Velvet Cream liqueur
rounds a off a wonderful evening
and her hand lies soft in his
while he walks with her
to her car.

She invites him for coffee,
but at her living place
no coffee is poured
and it’s forgotten
while they kiss each other
and passion grabs them.

The condom breaks
and the make love without it
and she doesn’t become pregnant
but he gets AIDS
that she got unknown
from another lover.

It becomes a wonderful night
for both of them
and with time
they really start to love each other,
but their sentence has been given
and at a time
when others count the days down
to a holiday and other great things
there lives disappear slowly.
