RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Drowning beneath waves of sorrow, letting myself be pulled
below the surface by the undertow.

Seeing visions of you holding me tightly as I close my eyes
...

Tenderly being tied to melodies of yesterday, mirrors
in my mind, reflecting the love of when we first met.

Hearts held in each other's hands so tenderly, gently,
...

Heartfelt emotions taking me into the night, filled
with wishes of the past that were never fulfilled.

Living their emptiness through a lonely heart that
...

Journey's of time allow no repose, they are open-ended
roads of love that take us into other realms we've
never been before.
...

Listening in the outdoors, love and nature combining in
a poem, an essence of the Divine building itself fully
within.
...

Living in a land of the lost where you keep disappointing
me with your lack of poetical acumen that you used to love
so much.
...

Melodies deeply disturbing me within, arousing suspicions,
causing doubts of yearning in this world, unsure of every-
thing.
...

Strumming the violin of my heart with the bow of my soul,
creating and composing heavenly songs filled with the
aroma of the Divine.
...

Articulating a lifetime in poetry, tying every moment to
the one before it, culminating in life's story and told
poetically through music's rhythm.
...

Thinking about life and it's tangled emotions flowing
from our every experience through the years, at times
wondering how our minds and bodies become so attuned
to them.
