During another restless night

The topless Muse from

Porto Rafti-beach

Stirred his desires

Caressed his body

For a sweet and quaint

Birthday joy.

Late morning he still desired

His chosen Muse

A second time.

 

Morning sun’s warmth

Flooded the Red Tower room

The poet had a critical look

At his nude

Depicted in his notebook.

How come he could not find

His way back to his spouse

Who shied him away

Misunderstanding his state of

Joie du vivre – jokes and

More clowning?

 

Like two opposing cultures

The long time married couple

Clashes again and again

As if fate had some different

Plan cut-out for the two

Hot heads

Immersed in art and fashion

Poet against fashionista.
