RoseAnn V. Shawiak Barriers Poems

Walking into the courtyard, looking at all the cacti,
feeling a little exhilarated, knowing that they are
alive and breathing like life is supposed to be.
...

Expressing many feelings in moments of repressive rhythms, telling all in verses of mystery.
Coinciding memories of images, still forming in a mind without any repreive.
Still causing so much misery in friendships without meaning to.
Holding others hostage in her emotional barriers, pushing them away, yet holding on for dear life to their existence in her pathway,
...

Drinking in beautiful green with soul and eyes as one.
Feeling gentle murmuring with a heavy heart, crossing
interior barriers deep into nighttime surrender.
Wondering what future thoughts will find or become on
...

When I listen to the music I love, light penetrates the barriers of
my mind, causing me to see the words and write them out in rhyme.
Lively, happy, tantalizingly glad, tickling my brain in unending
strains of musical perfection.
...

Wonder carrying life into a natural environment, heart beating to the rhythms of an innate talent, breaking through barriers of life at times.

Pushing aside all remarks and comments of those who are jealous and taking chances to abuse and demean others, but fooling only themselves.
...

Beating rhythms calling ancient formulas, giving ideas
to create poetry with, illuminating barriers so they
may always be avoided when writing.
...

Complications always arriving on doorsteps of
uncertainty, life not being what we have come
to believe growing up.
...

Major interludes of poetry fulfill
my heart-felt desires with splendid
energy and vivid imaginational images.
All of it taking me out beyond barriers
...

Lights dangling into my life, gifting me with their
presence as they illuminate the sadness covering my
interior sight until now.
Picture-perfect insight, lit with many colors of
...

Rocking interiorly to intense rhythms being listened
to right now, writing and feeling every beat being
played straight into intellect.
...

Chasing the beauty of love in circles around us,
living in it's vibrant and enticing embrace,
feeling the excitement of your being beside me.
...

Establishing connections beyond barriers in life,
wanting to always be in touch with those who have
passed on and are living without us now.
...

Clouds floating across the sky, barely touching
branches on tops of trees and falling into night.

Storms coming and going, being protected by nothing,
...

Rocking and jamming to beats,
intense enough to break barriers
through to the brain.
...

Shattering the speed of sound, rhythms penetrating barriers
of light as rapidly as possible, mind keeping time separate-
ly, nothing to keep up with the beating.
...

Faith walking a fine line after death has crossed life's
timeline and taken away everything I ever cherished on
earth.
...

Sadness penetrating barriers of inner peace, confusing, crushing a sense of self into oblivion.
Satisfying no needs or purpose, turning everything into self-sacrificing piety.
Inner piercing, cutting quickly, deftly to the core of being.
All attempts at normalcy are in vain, as memories claim immediate images, blacking out the future.
...

Tearing apart, tearing down, barriers of self-imposed
ignorance from long ago.

Forgetting the past indignities and lies, turning out,
...

Bricks of fortitude surrounding life, keeping pain at
a distance where it can be handled and not felt.

Solitude pretending to keep out unwanted thoughts and
...

Solitarily feeling abandoned, hurt by wayward people
positioning themselves as future barriers.

Wanting beleaguered aspirations to stop wandering
...

Thoughts righting themselves in progressions, identifying
collectively with rhythms, coding them indefinitely while
writing poetry.
...

Continually moving forward, seeing sights interiorly through
imagination, also seeing reality of life in all it's glory
and sacrifice.
...

Sincere emotions riding the trains of decisive living,
attempting to catch landscapes as they quickly
disappear into the past.
...
