Love Poem: The Love of Mary Magdalene

Written by: Arturo Michael

The Love of Mary Magdalene

On canvas was made to shame

For the world to despise her name

Portrayed as a whore 

A dirty Mary nothing more


Hair that wiped Jesus’s feet of oil and tears

Never left his side even at the cross

Who was this woman from Magdala 

Why has the bible tried to exclude her


She soothes a crucified body with aloes and myrrh

Believed while Peter denied three times before cock crowed

The Messiah who was resurrected on the third day

First appeared to this lady of immeasurable faith


Her heart knew the Lord above man’s horrid sins

No love greater than the love of Mary Magdalene
