#Poem 

by Juan Romagosa

Out of darkness

from the storm

leap out.

Out of shadows

from the darkness

stretch out.

Out of Heaven

from the skies

leap out.

Freed from hallows

past forlorn

dash vast fields

rapture out.

Ascending, descending

dancing above the fray

in flight to dream

to passion live:

Leap of Faith

"Convent Dream"

by Juan Romagosa

Earth Mother of All

Give rise to us all

Bring forth within all

the fruit that is All.

Barren nun

smothers all 

issues none

bane of all.

Monk Screams

Convent dreams.

BUCKAROO

BUCKAROO

16" X 20"

Oil on Canvas

Buckaroo is derived from the Spanish word Vaquero, meaning Cowboy. 

A child plays make belief and dares

the forces at large.  Toreador.  Ole'! Lasso in hand, the little-boy chases

 a snake under the protective watch of a bull-shaped tree;

angel above, dreams below.

 "Buckaroo"

by Juan Romagosa

Ponder your challenge

innocent child

paso doble balanced

dream of the wild.

Sombrero crowned boy

enacting the king

pretend young cowboy

do your thing.

Mariachi clad vaquero

stalking illusion

acting regal buckaroo

under the sun.

Aspiring to snatch

in magical play

most difficult catch

illusory prey.

Watchfully covered

by bovine gaze

protected and sheltered

by arboreal grace

Bullfighter charro

born to rope

Toreador lasso

slithering hope.

THE QUICKENING

THE QUICKENING

16" x 20"

Oil on Canvas

A woman is awakening, stirring within, new life arising, symbolic of Spring and the meaning of life. 

"The Quickening"

By Juan Romagosa

Dormant life force

awake!

Within you

sleeping strong emotions

lay fallow

Rushing through your

very core

feel stirrings

longtime stored

Spring to action

whence hollowed laid;

secret places 

explored

hidden soul

bring it fore

Wintering Love

through veins
coursing, flowing: 

Arise!

Promethea- Birth on the Rocks

Promethea- Birth on the Rocks

Oh Prometheus!

You stole from Olympus on high

delivering fire so low.

Your reward your plight:

eternally boulder bound.

Where is your relevance today?

What Earthly creature will replace;

precious spark from gripping hands

be ripped this day?

Oh Daughter of Man!

You pinched essence from most high,

delivering life below.

Your issue your light,

forever on rocky mound.

Man's hope your delight:

eternally fate unbound.

Like Prometheus who stole fire from ancient Greek Gods for mankind, only to be chained to mount Olympus for his audacity a very pregnant woman makes her to Lovers Point, Pacific Grove, California sensing her moment to come.  There, before Heaven and Earth, nature threatens to overcome her and biological forces from time immemorial take over to deliver new life, the promise of life, a new hope for mankind.

This painting was featured in the San Rafael Food and Wine Festival and did extremely well. 
Thank you dear Art Collector! (You know who you are;).

ANNUNCIATION

Annunciation
by Juan Romagosa


SMILES! Smiles! Smiles!
In the day, in company, smiles;
In the heavy air floating, floating, buoyed up by the wind;
Smiles – not a cloud darkening – all bright and shining;
Bright smiles on the mouths of raised heads:
- O who is that Spirit? that form in the light, with smiles?
What shapely mass is that, stretching, reaching there past the clouds?
…away, in the morn, as you fly, all looking –
O then the unloosen’d ocean,
Of smiles! smiles! smiles!

Anecdote: an art collector in Benicia, California loved it for its "joyful reminder of her own children". She dubbed it Lady Godiva.
