Back Alleys Of Compromise Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Wanting to know the meaning of love in this life,
taking a look at impossibilities that are gathered
before me.

Sating desires of innate talent, writing incessantly,
wanting to know and hear the sound of your voice,
missing you intensely all the time.

Finding my way down back alleys of compromise, not
wanting to live life without you here by my side,
seeing the tears that want to drown my heart.

Within your love, hiding just in these eyes, stinging
my mind with the absence of your love and heart, ever
believing in the beauty of life in another world.

As long as we are together and in love, it matters not
where we are, being side by side throughout whatever
befalls us in any particle of life is where we will be.
