RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Reeling and rocking in rhythms that take me away from this
crazy life bent on destroying me through people who are so
selfish and greedy.
...

Finding self in a morning light shining upon earth,
wondering at the beauty of nature, being satisfied
intellect's interpretation of it.
...

Creating and shaping thoughts into infinite amounts of
words and meanings.

Forming them into prose, delivering messages to all of
...

Watching men and women falling in and out of love,
caring then throwing the other away for someone
else.
...

Memories picturing those we have loved in our lifetimes,
seeing and feeling our love for them time after time all
through the years.
...

Loneliness and abandonment filling this heart with your
loss, having to continue this life without you my dear
is a feat I do not feel I'm up to.
...

Walking through lonely days, having no purpose or aim
in life, thoughts waking and then falling into tears
of feelings and emotions.
...

Lonely, forgetting how to live now that you're gone,
walking by the lake, not really seeing anything.

Every once in a while seeing a couple holding hands,
...

Simply and easily sifting through thoughts as they
silently fall into intellect.

No guests or impartial people around, just self alone,
...

Finding empty spaces in life, trying to hide within
them secretly, having a safe haven interiorly where
no one can find me unless I want to be found.
...
