RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Marking life's territory in individual poems of a
solitary poetical process, scientific and all ab-
sorbing through an interior passion.
...

Reasoning and logic being opened wide in rhythms of
music that infiltrate this poetical mind, wandering,
roaming throughout every moment.
...

Mind racing up and down measures of time and music,
feeling elated and filled with surprise at all the
thoughts coming together.
...

Disbelief falling in between measures of notes
and tones, being held gently in a delicate pose,
not wanting them to be misread or dropped on
their heads.
...

Listening to faraway whispers made in an atmosphere of
love once upon a time, now just frozen in a memory held
closely and remembered whenever wanting to.
...

Rhythms catching hold, taking mind into an absolute
atmosphere of tantalizing beauty through music.

Wanting to rock and roll, but a country-western melody
...

Walking through days at a loss, not knowing
what to do with the emptiness being held so
deep inside.
...

Long-lost memories lying in past rhymes of life
and music, portraying sensations of a life fill-
ed with love and laughter.
...

Swinging, swaying, taking the long way home, ignoring
the pain that seems to follow everywhere.

Touching moments that are holding on for dear life, ex-
...

Playing in sand of yesterday in Miami, Florida when
only four years old, remembering beauty of seeing
it for the first time ever.
