RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Living an emotional hell, never knowing whether the present
is real or not through feelings of hopelessness.

Saturated with beliefs of old, scarred inside by unfostered
...

Challenging ordinary paths of life, never being satisfied
with olden ways.

Taking on undiplomatic pursuits brought to light by un-
...

Forte of a man's voice freezing her in mi-track, blindly
searching her mind for a way out.

There was none, falling inside, choking on helplessness,
...

Images of betrayal fill minds, broken lives are filled with
darkness.

Acting out horrible deeds of yesterday, physically hurting,
...

Shaking earth beneath this mind, rhythms flowing
endlessly, taking all thoughts into a sphere of
intellect, never letting them be wasted on land
fills like other people do.
...

Satisfying desires hidden within, giving plenty
of opportunities to be sated in the vocabulary
of a dictionary.
...

Touching this mind, a rhythm makes me smile, feeling so
good, right in particles of my brain that give pleasure.

Watching with joy as this pen flows across paper, writing
...

Riding through nature, seeing it's beauty filling
photographic screens, fulfilling promises of every
being in heaven.
...

Noticing many different images gathering together,
hoping to be detected in many a poem.

Not wanting to be forgotten, preferring to be relived
...

Living in an interior hell, not wishing to look about,
wanting nothing to do with life right now, wandering
throughout thoughts, lilting around in music and rhythm.
