ROCK OF AGES

by Juan Romagosa

Even the rocks cry out
Innocent love.
Eternally now
Timeless boulders ageless grow.

Stone temple grove
first kiss of love
Neptune's cove
doth childhood foster.

Infant explorers nurture
nature's secret treasure;
God's pure pleasure.

Surrealist beach scene depicts a woman's coming awareness.  As she views an image in the sand, children witness the vision and transformation in Varadero - Playa Azul, a Cuban beach.

"Her Secret"

by Juan Romagosa

Childhood I enjoyed

on the beach warmly

as time went by tenderly

under the golden sun hotly

maturing.

One day to my innocent face

in the burning sand

a mask of thick hair and smiling aspect

 attached.

Years passed.

Borrowed habits proved

comfortable -

to the found mask

they stuck.

Countenance closed

hot sun encroached.

From afar a warm message of love did arrive.

Blood thus far peacefully coursing

To a sudden boil did come.

Great emotion unleashed

- revelation unmasking

soul saved, by love released.

Shining:

Resplendent love;

Transcendent - adored.

After the Show: Images from the Benicia Waterfront

When the Benicia Fine Arts and Jazz Show was all over, it was time to relax and the weather was perfect in this maritime town. Strolling, dreaming, enjoying the warm early evening light, it was all good.

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.

Gold Moss Landing

Gold painted sky

upon cresting waves of glittering

Precious Orb from on high

dipping to horizon shimmering

Amber light

casting

on ruddy shore golden nuggets bright.
