RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Reciting lyrics in a sing-song poetical sensational way,
taking this being into the length and breadth of an in-
tense way of life.
...

Singing choir-like into rhythms as they hop and take
over our beings; minds being transformed into depths
of awesome feelings and emotions.
...

Melodies taking this hand of life and mind, hoping for
something that can and never will be attained in this
earthly life.
...

Honky-tonking and going out for the night, taking hold
of intense rhythms that fill mind and intellect into
the night, dancing and finding ways to go boogying.
...

Motions of life at a standstill, not able to be tempted
by rhythms that hang their head, walking along a tight-
rope so carefully.
...

Rhythms being picked up and then laid down upon
so many measures that tend to fill our lives with
all types and varieties of entertainment.
...

Tempos moving to an invisible forward motion, not worry-
ing about anything getting in the way because unlike life,
music takes our hearts away.
...

Rocking and taking our minds quickly into an interior fire,
passion being provoked by musical rhythms that grab hold
of our minds and hearts.
...

Silent whisperings being heard by hearts in love
and retiring its essence in the fabric of what
we once had.
...

Lightening striking in a circle of emotion wanting to be
expressed, freed into the universe where it can no longer
cause regrets or recriminations, saving time.
...
