RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Memories pounding against my mind incessantly,
giving me no reprieve from the past.

There you were always with me, I never was lost
...

When someone you love dies, life ends it's existence,
nothing has meaning anymore.

My smile doesn't come from my heart nowadays, it is
...

In many ways I try to reach for your love, even in my
dreams you escape my touch.

Wanting so badly to hold your hand, hear you speak to
...

Living in moments of fate as days pass by unhurriedly
in tunnels of time, standing before me.

Collapsing into an indelible motion of apprehension,
...

Stretching out into the atmosphere of another universe,
collecting all remnants left over from yesterday when
life was simple and easy.
...

Hauling melodies into the night, orchestrating
them with a fluid motion of sparkling colorful
hues left over from yesterday's rainbows.
...

Twisting with utmost care as life circles inter-
ludes of musical periods with intense life-
sustaining depths of my soul.
...

Desperate, running away from life, not wanting to
live it's firey pathways of suffering any longer.

Conquering necessities of daily life is not enough
...

Moonlight shining on shores of tomorrow, filtering
thoughts upon the sand as waves crash over them.

Disregarding and not watching anything, just using
...

Unchaining ties that have been binding through the
many years of this life, ending their domineering
abuse that has plagued me through a timid shyness.
...
