Best Vinci Poems

It’s said the great Michaelangelo
had considered himself as a foe
to a rival of his.
You should know who this is -
Da Vinci, the great Leonardo!

So why would the one so dislike
the other? I bet as a tyke
Michaelangelo would
tell his foe, if he could:
“You’re a dreamer, so...

MONA LISA

For ten years his paint brushes danced to the motion
of his hands on a white Lombardy poplar panel,
creating inimitable effects with the image he created –
Yes! Of one Lisa Gherardini, wife of a nobleman,
Francesco del Giocondo.
For ten years he handled his painting like a...

Great painter of Italian Renaissance,
Unquenchable curiosity,
Human anatomy his fav,

Sculptor and inventor,
Illegitimate,
Most eclectic,

Unschooled

	Always affecting others;
	That, the ultimate payment for every...

You were the Renaissance man who
Had a wonderful romance with life
You shattered the ordinary matrix and
Produced extraordinary results!
You painted the “Mona Lisa” and overwhelmed
The inhabitants of this planet with sketches of the future!

Even though your parents never married each other
You still exposed the beauty of...

MODEL DA VINCI

If I could touch your beauty
And define it with my type
I’d spell the sunlight from your eyes
To cut the darkness of my night.
For all the songs I’ve never sung
And all the poems I’ve yet to write
Are waiting in your smile.
Let me fly there...

The Holy Grail is a woman seated next to The Divine Being they say
Mary Magdalene, lifted by God’s Own Finger
I thought it was the Cup, the Cup of Sorrow.
Would  the Blood which takes away the Sin come so cheap.
When the Vessel which was to...

You’re more special than most people think...

The famous portrait of Mona Lisa
globally known like Mother Thersa

Her pose so perfect, not a hair out of place, 
a hint of a smile I see on her face

A touch of cleavage painted for view,
as if she’s been painted to draw me to you

White porcelain...

I always wonder
As my eyes wander
Towards the sky
At the clouds up high
Such an amazing view
As if just painted by hue
Such great wonders
Mixed with different colours
Freshly painted
Like Da Vinci once created
Such a scenic view to see
As if you are finally free
From the captivity
Living a carefree life...
