RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Dark caverns scattered throughout a mind of creativeness,
hiding morsels of imagination yet to be uncovered.

Barren wastelands strewn across the mind, holding on to
...

Luckily sprawling across realms of tomorrow,
placating the existence of any problems.
Smoothing the wrinkles of life, molding and
shaping each day, so as to grow into old age
...

Saddened desperation wrenches my heart, filling it with
salted tears, pouring them onto already saddened and raw hurt.
blistering the existence of life without thought, careening
down pathways never before resolved.
...

Life doomed to it's destiny, unfulfilled and empty.
Along tracks of loneliness, walking in the grass,
taking in the solitude of time passing.
Circumstances rearranging every step along the way,
...

Calm, balmy day in February, sky totally clouded over,
white as far and wide as anyone can see.
Thoughts piling and falling over one another in absent-
minded reveries.
...

Hazy light, winking it's eye in the twilight of evening's song.

Anticipated joy and peaceful calm, unhesitatingly waiting in
the shadows of dusk, afraid to step from behind the grayness
...

Deeply distraught by the motives of another, deceived by their
seemingly innocent manner.
Discovering the evil they have been hiding from sight, leaves
me flabbergasted, not knowing what to say.
...

Sorrow drips from my heart, antagonizingly unforgiving.
Relentlessly carrying me forward through the pain to
experience it fully.
To overcome it with more meaning than if denying it's
...

Sadness pours from within,
unable to contain itself.
Spiraling downward into a
dark abyss, unfalteringly
...

Marching through depths of sorrow and loneliness,
emptied and abandoned by everyone.
Lost in a maze of regret, no clue as to how to
find a way back out.
...
