RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Singly going into depths of another universe hidden
deeply within my being.

No one else able to follow, not liking to express
...

Experiencing a lightness starting to envelope my
interior being, giving a reprieve from the stress
of this afternoon.
...

Rhythms rolling through memories, touching upon their
essence as I remember them with bittersweet reminiscence.

Holding your love close to me, feeling your heart still
...

Silent heart breaking as the sun rises, startling
nighttime dreams of happiness with the reality of
your death.
...

Having been cheated time and again, always trying to
catch up, but finding it's a losing game.

Life has a mysterious way of favoring some people over
...

Laughing, enjoying life and it's idiosyncrasies,
trying to have fun at no one's expense save my
own.
...

Arriving in the night, taking me in your arms, holding
me tightly, giving me your love.

Enticing desires, bringing them vibrantly alive and
...

Certainty and possibilities are effects of having a
positive attitude and being in a good mood.

Living in the serenity of this enticing and creative
...

Slow-moving music of a saxophone, falling in line with genera-
tions of rhythms through the years, tempting senses and creat-
ing prose in evenings filled with possibilities.
...

Silent thoughts triggering moments of loss from yesterday,
touching upon memories of this heart, tears well hidden
for years.
