RoseAnn V. Shawiak Dark Poems

Crossing tides across colorful horizons,
beaming happily through stormy rain clouds.
...

Sitting here, looking out of my hospital window I see a dark image flying close by - at first thinking it was a bird, but soon realizing the size of it was a whole lot larger than that.
A helicopter was landing just beyond my sight's reach on a

There's a darkened mystery forming in a corner of my mind, hiding it's face, yet letting me feel it's hurtful pain.
Tears surrounding it, seeping through to my heart, checking it's feelings in an aftermath of troubles.
Spending the remainder of life in precious contemplation, alone with God's presence keeping me company.
...

A dark room lies waiting - it's emptiness is just like me inside.
Foregoing pleasure for this roller coaster ride - waiting to see where the end will be.
Sifting through activities of the day, finding nothing of value - setting fire to memories of yesterday.
Smoke rises - filling the air - scorching windows of the future - blind with it's tears.
...

Locomotives traveling through evening skies, holding
close to the tracks beneath their iron wheels.
Moving over mountains and through valleys, eluding
death's sight, hoping not to be caught in it's vacant

Wandering aimlessly, thinking of so many unfair policies
and regulations governing rehab centers.

Arcane ideas being used to perpetrate crimes of seeming

Crippling the world are the muslims and isis,
torturing, beheading, raping and murdering
innocent people for no other reason than to
follow a pretend god of theirs named allah.

Lighting candles, romantic dinner, waiting, wax melting

The dark room lies waiting, it's emptiness is just like me

Foregoing pleasure for this roller coaster ride, waiting to

Your image, Lord is clear to all who seek

So gently reminding me of her life, so full and vibrant once,
