Defiant Memories Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Whispers of pages tuning into memories so succinctly
and defiantly, wanting to be remembered entirely.

Haunting images touching my being bitter sweetly,
taking no notice of how I'm feeling, emotions rising
and heaving sighs of deep sorrow.

Feeling the intense loneliness and abandonment that's
always hiding within me, silent yet probing, giving
many feelings associated with memories of the past.

Still being remembered and kept sacredly inside of my
mind, photographic screens always capturing everything
in my life vibrantly and vividly with sound.
