RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Spending time in depths of remembering, thinking of talks
and conversations that we have had over time.

None of it seeming to matter as long as we can be together
...

Forming creative possibilities, taking them into lines
of advanced rhythms.

Special movements making us go to the left and right,
...

Going crazy with delight, dancing in my mind as music
elevates my being into the stratosphere.

Living in powers of inner strength, loving it's feelings,
...

Just being myself and letting freedom reign within, nothing
to hold me to the darkness of abuse.

Just alone, wishing for companionship for a little while,
...

Realistically noticing lasting effects of grief upon this
mind, feeling every moment of sadness and hearing prayers
that have been prayed through the years.
...

Patterns and designs are coming together in poetry
of this night.

Glistening and reflecting a beauty of effervescent
...

Words rolling from your mind as you talk to me, giving an
opportunity to see you in your glory, faults and all.

Noticing goodness, compassion and love that you hold with
...

Darkness encompasses me, breaking this heart in the ebony
sadness of grief.

Wanting not to talk, just being silent, going to church
...

Struck by lightening of a rap song, holding me captive with
it's intense unfolding rhythm.

Reaching inside, looking for a sign to take me from the
...

Upturned heart, looking for joy of eventual love, given by
a special someone who will give a total love in return, a
perfect placement of everything that I could ever want in
this life.
...
