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.
