RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

The star of my life has disappeared from sight.
Gone beyond boundaries of this mortal life,
succumbed to heavenly departure.
Crying, wishing, feeling the emptiness left behind, wanting
...

Reaching into the deepest abyss I can touch,
feeling it's emptiness and despair.
It is quite roomy, no light at all,
stifled, not pleasant in any way.
...

A duo, two men, sharing melodies and tempos of a song
together, lifting up rising minds into a superb and
lasting melody contained in a dream once upon a time.
...

Settling into an evening of poetical musing
and writing, enjoying beats of rhythms that
constantly take this mind away.
...

Backyard memories sit quietly peaceful,
waiting to be remembered on still dark nights.
A sound, an odor, a familiar scene, bring to mind an
image or picture of a special event.
...

Rhythms breaking over mind and intellect in an end-
less beating of waves that stomp upon the surface of
the ocean, never falling through or below it.
...

Blank walls staring back at life within, inserting an
imaginational reality into play, finding wonder and
beauty incessantly.
...

Exercising the power of a mind, finding strength there
that's indomitable and unafraid of anything.

A serious yet delectable wonder of life and love in this
...

Climbing and crossing desert mountain
terrain beneath black and gray storm
clouds.
Waiting to prey upon unsuspecting
...

Lost, a stranger in a familiar world,
unable to connect or become a part of it.
Struggling to participate, failing
consistently without any effort.
...
