dreamy swaying matriarch
moonlight magnolia blossom bows glowing
appalachian southern sweetheart...

The love of a drug,
a matriarch to own,
So addicted it's unreal,
The hold it may show.
Losing the grip,
Becoming Numb to the touch, to the feel....

Though pecuniary gravy of grandpa made family patriarchy, 
The fish gravy of grandma maintain the family matriarchy....

Madonna Louise Ciccone, or simply "Madonna"
Pop matriarch; just don't call her a prima donna

Had popular 80s hits like "Express Yourself" and "Material Girl"
She expressed her sexuality boldly; made watchdog groups churl

 glorifying, honoring, canonizing 
emperor, majesty, rani, contessa 
    coronating, serving, advising 
           empress, matriarch

You have the loving
eyes of a matriarch
that looks deeply to find
anything of quality
in someone else
to find something
to let you accept them.

And I tap
my pencil
awaiting
the next line.

Then your back
arches
like a motorcycle
ramp,
poised for me to
roam.

End poem

Three pedal pushers, pushed past,
mom, daughter, grand
icons of fashions.
Forms formed by the dictates of passion.
Hair cropped, brows plucked,
rural New England’s answer to
Dolly Parton.
Scooped necked and corseted
varying little from teen-queen to matriarch;
only the wrinkles told the tale....

She is insatiable;predatory
In business always valedictory
Sees no conflict of interest in her position
Spurns financial disclosure requisition

She strides like a colossus, speedily
Eating smaller fry greedily
Using as an opportunity every disrupter
Allowing nothing or nobody to be an interrupter...

“How exactly, my love, am I to die well?” 
The question croaked - a ghostly whisper;
from her lingering mouth
of rotten teeth and wretched lips;
broken by an end of thrist.
Eyes glazed at the edge of reality.
A mighty visage; a matriarch.
Vitality faded as a memory.
No more beautiful fiction,
only firm, cold skin;
left behind....

Oh, no! The one giving the eulogy said.
I have lost my keen ability to conform.
Her family gave each other knowing looks;
she had never obeyed.
She was not the type to follow along,
color in the lines or do what others did.
The giggling started and it never stopped;
best celebration of life ever.
Because their matriarch had pre-videotaped her entire eulogy....

The Matriarch

crying out beneath the earth
the cemetery seed
which dies before it has its birth
in a hail storm of need
leader of the fallen child
in nadir of man's greed
treasure in the vultures mouth
circling to feed
everything I have you left
it's value does exceed
the taxable trinkets of a life
that made the hearts of blind men bleed

A slow moving gentle creature
With a long trunk and wrinkled skin.
Strange, ridiculous and ugly
and yet he draws us to love him.

He seems to know and understand
has empathy with us humans,
but can also rage if angered
and kill a man by trampling him.

Elephants have a matriarch
and keep together for safety.
The young stay close to their mother,
while the males are solitary....

My origin, my matriarch, my mother, my queen
My prime paradigm of an amicable human being

My mentor, my supporter, my companion, my friend
My forever confidante I can always depend

My thanks to you for your love so unconditional
And for teaching me the power of love, value and principle

My absolute bona fide blessing like no other
Is having the honor of calling you “my mother”!...

She was a gentle soul
Who saw the worst 
And endured it quietly
The man she loved
Was cruelly taken away

Left to raise two children
She always had a smile
Wanting the best for others
Living a long life
A matriarch to all.

Many memories of my mother
making moist mellow macaroons 
marshmallows and Madeira cake,
minuscule madeleines, marvellous,
mum measures, marinates, melts,
more majestic meals.
My matriarch makes,
marmalade,
marzipan,
muffins,
mincemeat,
meringue.
mousse.
My meritorious mom mixes, merges, mingles,
melon,
mango,
mulberries,
Mandarins.
My maternal materfamilias, masterminds 
Mealtime masterpieces....

Virtuous Woman
5 Feet 5
Queen
Matriarch
Witnessing the untold wisdom in your eyes
Protector by nature
Shielding your offspring with 
Care
Gentleness
Flawless skin glowing as the Indian sun
Survivor
Warrior 
Bearing the scars
Burdens of
Past
Present 
Generations
Emerging as a phoenix
Transforming into your
Victorious state
A new day given by 
GOD
Walk no Run
In the anointing
My virtuous

I am the matriarch the grandma said to the lot
Her opinion unvaluable, often ignored, not sought
No one heard this, she had become invisible to them
Everyone looked to her oldest lay-about son Jim

After you reach seventy, you are senile I guess she told Tony
He was her attentive grandson, slim, quiet, and tall boney.
Those twits I sired are forgetting one teeny tiny thing…
If they expect money, remember in this family, I am still king....

Only this;
And a joyousness
Remembering many beautiful, matriarch models
And so you came gently in forgiveness;
Forgiving, allowing the arboreal atonement


I threw my resort upon the heart;
Of my cold unloving mind;
Back into my memories accommodating
That uttermost - that uttermost; 
And the savior was classifying;
The arboreal atonement allowing

I sensed the notes of my voice gently
Float over her senses, like a fisherman's boat returning to shore, loved ones anxiously waiting

Stories she knew, with moments she remembered
The faintest smile curling the corners of
Her slack jaw

Glints of gratitude graced her expression
As sponge-water was lovingly given her

All we could do was admire such noble
Grace in our family's matriarch, as she
Approached her transition 

To
Everlasting 
Life...

Valentine’s Day 2015
An odd way to spend it,
At Hospice watching Nana sleep,
This room becoming our world
On a rotating basis.
Right now there’s me
And Nana and IT
The elephant in the room.

The doctor said IT could come anytime.
The nurse said everybody’s different,
And IT can be different, too.
The family structure never the same
When our strong matriarch succumbs to IT
Death, the elephant in the room.

My family thinks I am good-
as matriarch- it's understood
     I keep us all tight-
     with love, we unite-
keep bonds fortified as we should.

However, at times I am bad-
for when I feel down- to be glad-
     I need my own space
     seclusion embrace
to work out whatever is sad.

My special- a pastime, so fine-
I try to write poems that shine
     so readers can see
     the thoughts that make me
a builder of words that define.

Slaying selflessly at the warfront's edge,  
Guarding the land with an indomitable pledge.

Faces etched with patience and pride,  
Military spouses and children brave the tide.

Salute to the matriarch that cradles our fighters,
Teary farewells rest on their shoulders. 

Immortal spirits slumber in their graves,
Back to the ancestral womb where tribute paves. 

Their unyielding valor marks the annals of time,  
Inspiring future generations with courage sublime....

mother
                the matriarch
      spends time with her children 
her heart flows with much love and care
                    nonstop
                
  









* I would like to wish all my soup friends( ladies) a Happy Mother's Day! Whether you are a mother, stepmother, adoptive mother, foster mother,grandmother, or mother figure( aunt, cousin, teacher and etc).  Motherhood comes in different ways, it's not restricted to giving 
birth.
