Best Madonna Poems
Tribute To 'Navaho Madonna'
Wild horses, prairies, desert canyons,
Native Indians, brush landscapes
by 'Dean of Western Painters'
known as Olaf Wieghorst.
His contrast boldness,
softened with light
blended hues,
stirred my
heart.
Inspired to capture his moving art,
passion pushed to reproduce his
famed Navaho masterpiece;
every brushstroke chosen
to grasp his canyon,
mother and child
on stone bluff
framed by
rock.

The Madonnamy presence was needed
the announcement echoed thru hospital halls
which meant the medical team assembled
but that kind of expertise
was not why i was called
my lot in this equation, a signature
i was in another room in a discussion
MIT graduate, engineering, solid atheist
we were discussing the concept of...

Laundromat MadonnaShe precisely folded
the baby clothes and being
a long time laundromat
habitual, I recognized the signs.
Obsession at the laundromat level
is usually the last attempt
at order in a life without.
The two blackened puffy eyes
and the swollen lip were
not too subtle clues and
the bent nose and scar upon
the cheek...

Black MadonnaYou thought me spineless,
so in a fit of anger you tore mine out,
Bloodless, I rose sword swallower,
strengthened by my tattered paper edges.
The abyss of your barren soul wrapped me in
gauze, shrouded me on parallel partitions;
nailed to the crossbars of your lust;
only mother me did...

Black MadonnaDo you know of the icon of "The Black Madonna"?
She is the Patron of Poland to this day.
It is not the icon I write about
But, the young Maiden, Who is 'Queen of Heaven" today.

Madonna of the RubbleForgetting is a vain refugee camp,
Madonna, for still these walls get
breached, amidst the daily, frenzied
barter of honed art for bread,
While slaking arid, thirsty hours with
bits of loving, or even...

MadonnaYour name will never elude my memory
Every day I recall you like a recent story
A myriad of thoughts about you clouds my memory
The school that made me
The four walls that raised me
The principal that trained me
The teachers that disciplined me
The books that enlightened me
The...

From Medusa To Madonna Part IFaultless art is ceased in silence
Quite often curious how achieved
Never a month a year ever deep
Stories never apprise as much
Sculptures an paintings score
Medusa a fallen angel's myth
Hue'd by an artists true life
Roaring a cry to let not die
To love water pale Madonna
Gave texture purity an...

Heavy duty seeps striped desirous abdominal
Workers hover, rush...

In the Cave of the Madonna ( Village of Topollia Crete 1994 )In the Cave of the Madonna ( Village of Topollia Crete 1994 )
I formed a square of brick
a block house of the future
and the years like dust lay thick
around my door
many footsteps answer like dreams
upon my floor
I built a synthetic...

Lady MadonnaFor she's running away from the backlashes
of her past.
Bringing the old into the new...
trying to kill the memories
that soaks the soul in a tainted
mask.
For she's lost in her own infatuation.
Being lead astray by words of deception
yet, she hasn't learned the lesson that
one needs not...
