RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Staring into space, leaving mind marks to keep place.
Wondering silently aloud of all things invisibly
thought or heard.
...

Tantalizing music flowing in my ears, entering my mind,
filling it full of ideas and images for imagination's
enjoyment and peace.
...

Turning centuries over in a mind of ingenuity and
precise moments of actuality.
Rightfully engineering beliefs and edifying thoughts
of both yesterday and future ideas.
...

Pounding rhythms vibrating my soul with fervor and joy.
Slicing into dreams of future horizons with bluest
memories tearing in my eyes, pulling me into a reverie,
thinking backwards in time.
...

Unrehearsed thoughts melting into fibers of my being,
fondling mind waves of perpetual ideas.
Feelings soaring upward into atmospheres unheard of
before.
...

Flamboyant rivers careening through my mind,
gathering all material stored in times of
harried distress, taken out now on rafts of
wildness.
...

Twilight fills this mind with stars of universal
platitudes, decorating themselves and hiding on
shelves.
Portrayals, never-ending, inside of picture
...

Mattresses of time, spreading over infinite darkness,
waiting for linens and blankets to cover me with
elastic thought.
Counting measures with notes of defiance, beating to
...

Memorializing unions of many thoughts on shores I
sought out, to do things my way to survive the
desperation of my emptiness.
Regrets at times when I think of what we had, yet
...

All of eternity is held in hands of God as He watches
our love for Him being expressed through our gifts
and talents.
