Keeping Life From Escaping Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Future nights standing aside, waiting for the light
of daybreak peeking above the horizon.

Seething with desires, allowing them to flow into
this mind where they can be written of.

Never being extinguished, always pretending to be
unafraid of loneliness, yet in times of abandonment
different ideas come about.

Wondering about the future without anyone in my life,
no mercy or compassion thriving from outskirts of
time.

Tunnels keep opening and closing, keeping light from
escaping and bringing the beauty of love into being.
