RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Relating abstracts to everyday life, extracting meanings
from impossible concepts, fitting them together like puzzle
pieces made for each other.
...

Sometime in life we all find that we are only temporary
beings, just renting space here on earth.

Nothing to call our own, filling our time with family,
...

Success is determined nowadays by how much money and
prestige you have, what happened to days when honor
and truth were the hallmarks of success?
...

Taking moments of life into dreams being dreamt in the
middle of the night.

Lights are continually shining on hopes and promises
...

Frustrated, being subjected to many particular feelings
all at one time, using poetry to separate and identify
each of them, flowing out into poems eventually.
...

Writing incessantly, never letting up, words and meanings
continually cascading within, wanting to tell the story
of this mere poet's life.
...

Respecting moments of life as they are presented each
and every day, loving to experience the wonder and awe
that fills every discovery and adventure.
...

Touched in life by a never-lasting kiss of love, living
life, wanting to be loved and cherished by another.

Totally letting desires consume us in the throes of love,
...

Capturing life in the hands of our minds, enveloping
the equality of joy, happiness and sorrow, succeeding
in finding our places in life, losing them again also.
...

Sitting and talking with a friend, sharing personal ideas
and thoughts that touch each other's hearts, caring and
loving one another through this life, helping to understand
the cultures we have never been a part of.
...
