RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Rhythms filling and taking away sorrow that exists
within me constantly throughout life.

Having learned how to exist through music, writing
...

Walking along paths of life alone, always thinking, lost
in other dimensions quietly, not missing out on anything,
knowing that others are the ones who are missing little
things in life.
...

Heart breaking, falling into pieces on the floor of my
soul, cutting deeply with sorrow overflowing through me.

Tears silently falling, no one hearing my pain or sound
...

Loving you fills life with a total and perfect beauty
that touches my heart, soul and mind.

Finding new strength pouring into me, setting me free,
...

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.
...
