RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Removing ribbons from my mind, letting it fall softly
onto shoulders of intellect.

Trying to understand the words of love as they are
...

Syncopation taking me into the center of rhythm,
no hesitation, bringing me directly into the flow
of a waterfall within.
...

Taking off, soaring into clouds of intellect, memories
floating through my mind, always ready to be written
into poetry.
...

Climbing walls of life, wanting to see what's on
the other side of them.

Knowing there are many adventures that can still be
...

Solace keeping my mind in a serene desert, away from
the strife of everyday living.

Watching as nature gives up her secrets through desert
...

Stepping into a tunnel of light, being filled with
the energy of intellect.

Selecting moments through writing to be immersed
...

Circumventing paths of turmoil throughout life,
not wanting to be stressed or troubled.

There is only so much time where we can enjoy
...

Striding across the heavens through intellect,
knowing and remembering what it was like.

Heavenly scents still tantalizing my mind with
...

Looking out the window into an Arizona sky,
clouds piled high like puffy mountains.

Outlines of each are white, like chalk,
...

Taking chances on one another through life, hoping
to not be denied or left behind in the darkness of
love's emptiness.
...
