RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Reason flees in desperation, as sorrow floods it thoroughly with crystal saddened tears, threatening to turn to dust, drying out my heart and soul.
Captivating an empty loneliness with perceptions of youthful times.

Slowly turning around, seeing life in retrospect, tearing me in pieces as I realize that it is almost gone and I haven't found any answers.
...

Watching the horizons for your presence,
looking far into the future, yet you
never do show up.
Lifting eyes heavenward, hoping to hear your
...

Breezes blowing into the east,
giving me dreams of beautiful
landscapes of interior spaces.
Just languidly walking through
...

Trudging quickly through fields of bluened flowers,
sending me into gates of heavenly aromas, as I feel
lifted spiritually into realms of existent prayer,
soulfully being elated with a joy not of this earth.
...

Traipsing through meadows,
trying to lose strings of
crystallized tears.
Never wanting to be tied down,
...

Reading messages from inner screens,
watching them blend with thoughtful
melodies, tying them together in a
bevy of talent.
...

Signaling thoughts waving in an ocean of imagination,
as I wade through ripples of sand in watery graves of the past.
...

Rushing inwardly, towards a
rainbow made from inner talents.
...

Creeping closer to the desert,
houses being built upon habitats of desert animals.
Tearing apart a wide expanse, chasing all natural
beauty into backyards of unwanted neighborhoods.
...

Clouds smiling whitely down on us,
striking poses, modeling their
beautiful tresses, as they soar
across borders of our desert.
...
