Hopeful Desires Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak
Hopeful Desires
Touched in life by a never-lasting kiss of love, living
life, wanting to be loved and cherished by another.
Totally letting desires consume us in the throes of love,
hoping to have them last throughout our days, finding
that these feelings are only temporary after all.
As we go about our daily living, arguments, disagreements,
anger and sadness sprout up, feelings are hurt and we give
up hope, wanting to end the fight of being with another.
Staying together, getting past these horrendous times and
piercing emotions, we find again our love within each
other's arms.
Again for just a moment in time and then life takes over
with it's vicious cycle of lost hope, being forsaken and
left out in the cold.
Observing and going through it all, time and again, we
realize that all of life's expectations are rolled into
an atmosphere of hopeful desire that never lasts.

WOW! This poem says it all! It has both steel-eyed realism with no false sentimentality and it has visionary faith in the persistence of positive emotions - and then you show the cycle tumbling through our lives again. It's that third factor - the cycle repeating itself - that gives substance to your overview of things. And you found for the closing stanza the ideal language to bring the poem to closure - but we know: the cycle of desires and disappointments, then again and again, on and on it will go.
