RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Hiding behind curtains, peering out at the world,
watching it go around without any fuss or bother
every single day.
Taking me by the hand, showing off all earth's
...

Listening to hesitant earfuls, a wonderful couple
brings joy to everyone they meet with their voices
and music.
Pleasant atmosphere no matter where they go in life,

Nothing will destroy my spirit, It's Gods and
He will always preserve it until I am home with

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
