RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Invisible thoughts being expressed in song,
right before me in technical rhythms.
Sauntering down measures beating in time
with my heart, as I walk through imagination
...

Set deeply in depths of sorrow, being brought up in
a swelling of tears not able to be held back any more.
A difficult expression of sorrow, hurting more than
anyone will ever know.
...

Strumming themselves into a ribbon of crystal tears,
giving me reminders of how life has been throughout
the years on earth.
...

Doo Wop playing cheerfully into songs given to my
soul.
A wonderful marching rhythm, calling me interiorly
into circles of light from past melodies.
...

Sensational thoughts being sent directly to my mind,
forgiving the expressions of untold experiences,
taking the entire fold of music into aspects of
poetry to be voiced around the world to countless
...

Raising the rafters, letting it all loose,
fitting right in with the music and lifting
sights into the sky.
A wonderful sense of accomplishment arriving
...

Filled with a sadness of bereavement, knowing the
loss of someone dear.
Hanging my mind in the dark corners of grief,
never looking up, just down into the mire of lonely
...

Rocking into the middle of a song, being filled
entirely with it's rhythm, beating in unison
with my heart.
Lovely melody taking me away into the empty sky
...

Roosting in an atmosphere of country-western
satisfaction.
Combining the effects of rhythm with dinner and
a light harmony of delight.
...

Shifting gears, locating a new stance of beats,
lifting me into measures fitting of my poetry.
Sliding my imagination into the future, waiting
for me to grasp it's innate desires and move
...
