RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Loneliness and abandonment filling this heart with your
loss, having to continue this life without you my dear
is a feat I do not feel I'm up to.
...

Walking through lonely days, having no purpose or aim
in life, thoughts waking and then falling into tears
of feelings and emotions.
...

Lonely, forgetting how to live now that you're gone,
walking by the lake, not really seeing anything.

Every once in a while seeing a couple holding hands,
...

Simply and easily sifting through thoughts as they
silently fall into intellect.

No guests or impartial people around, just self alone,
...

Finding empty spaces in life, trying to hide within
them secretly, having a safe haven interiorly where
no one can find me unless I want to be found.
...

Really taking to heart the music that lifts my spirits
into upper levels of intellect, giving me new ways of
looking at things.
...

Living each day changes everything, nothing ever
staying the same, there's nothing we can really
rely on in this temporary life.
...

Celebrating the existence of being a mere poet,
looking into the universe for ideas that I can
form and shape into brand new creations.
...

All in the past, our lives now existing only in memories,
even what we have done just yesterday is no longer able
to be relived except in our minds.
...

Taking to the skies, living for the independence and
freedom it gives to me interiorly, adjusting life to
fit visions that come to mind whenever writing poetry.
