RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

This heart being broken again and again, it's shards
falling within, cutting me relentlessly.

Nothing to be done about it, for the love held closely
...

Will you ever even think of repenting for what you have
done to my heart?

Talking, telling all your secrets, laughing and joking
...

Your love has hurt me deeply, leaving me in tears every
day, having no recourse, no way to heal, being left in
a deep chasm, no way to return to the way I was before,
happy, free and content in life.
...

Those of you who have lost loved ones, searching for
answers, still need to be mindful of others in your
lives.
...

Life wasting away while a person is trying to find their
way, having a very difficult time, not able to see or un-
derstand anything while experiencing it.
...

Settling into the morning, being absorbed by thoughts
that cuddle sleepily in corners of my mind.

Peeking lazily out from under the cover of their ideas,
...

Slipping, sliding through the morning, listening to Cindy
Lauper singing, 'Girls just want to have fun', an uplifting
song.
...

Celebrating new vibrations that are falling into my mind
while listening to a Cindy Lauper C.D.

Wonder filling me at the rapid beats flowing incessantly
...

Leaves dancing in the wind, whispers floating on noon
air, being blown about by statues standing rigidly on
top sides of the Orpheum.
...

Sending silent messages with a clarity of unknown
detachment.
Swallowing endeavors beyond latent territories,
sending them adrift into a wild orange time.
...
