RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Looking lonealy across the room, meeting your questioning eyes
with acceptance and knowing.

A bond forms, closes in on the two of us and we become friends
...

Working at puzzles, fitting words and meaning together,
formulating ideas with each one completed.

Luring my brain's intellect into it's trap of enlighten-
...

Younger days catch up inside of songs played,
touching our hearts with mindful memories.

Reminding us we are alone in our thoughts,
...

Reliving a life lost once upon a time.

Regrowing it's memories often in
solitary journeys of everlasting
...

Dangling from trees in memory, enjoying the feelings it
brings to my inner soul.

Traipsing through flowered hallways scented with their
...

Awakening close to midnight, beating rhythms taking steps
down the long evening.
...

Taking time from writing for just moments to talk to people
who insist on talking and interrupting me.
...

Falling into lines of demarcation, wanting to be freed from
life's hold, yet desiring to be held in nature's realms.
...

Turmoil crushing my spirit from another direction,
taking me down roads that I'd rather not be taking.
...

Realizing life is not so perfect is such a let-down
when younger.
