RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Withering beneath a blanket of aging thoughts,
crying silently with yesterday's memories,
attempting to continue going on alone.
...

Stomping around this world in boots, well-worn.
Always attempting to find a place to settle down,
writing life messages into poems everyone can
view.
...

Freeing my mind magically with no hesitation,
allowing words to flow out prolifically.
Seeking established ideas hiding within this
orb of sight, awaiting their recognition and
...

Journeying through life's meandering lanes of hope
and faith, searching for the meaning and purpose
of life as it happens.
...

Hearts reverberate with death's distance, missing the
point of being together.

are finalized and separated from one another.
...

Lifelong memories of heart-felt joy and pining
interrupt day dreams of daily routine with an
insistent tremor.
Taking life a step higher when dancing among

Interchanging decades of hopelessness for a tender
hope in a better tomorrow.
Always searching for beds of roses, alive with
discernment and verve.
...

Crosswise vertically, in an upside stance of perplexing
continuity, waltzing through subconsciously on a field
grown with tomorrow's choices.
Ripened with age, chosen for their beauty and hearty
...

Twilight settles upon us as we sit holding hands,
eyes looking into one another's souls.

Captivating sorrow held in store for each of us
...
