RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Shadows of trees play silently within my mind,
seeking to hide from the pain of life.

Watching them skip and run from tree to tree,
...

Warning the annuls of everlasting science, parading cadavers
down through the ages.

Filling all life with decayed thoughtlessness, leaving all
...

Filled with the stinging pain of lies, working hard to keep
the tears from falling from my eyes.

Lightening quick to reach out, holding out trust and love
...

Standing at the edge of destiny, waiting for fulfillment to
come into being, realistically knowing it cannot be in this
lifetime.
...

Cages holding back myriads of tentacles, trying to grasp
onto life, trying to bury it beneath your own hands.

Brick-like order lying down, acknowledging the fact that
...

Tears of dark emptiness fall slowly from my eyes,
each drop bringing with it a piece of my heart.

Soaked through with sorrow, head hung limply from
...

Silently embracing many fears, leashing them to inner strait
jackets, afraid to let them go.

Silently crying, no tears falling, slipping into oblivion to
...

Mindless tears fall, being felt deep within a heart, no words
to express the sadness, it's sorrow penetrates all of it's
parts.
...

Rain clouds forming, storms coming quickly across the skies,
no where leaving traces of blue, only black clouds swimming
in their rain.
...

A glimmer of light, then darkness fills the night,
flying on wings of prayer, to fulfill it's destiny,
it knows not where.
...
