Haunting Ghosts Poem by RoseAnn V. Shawiak

Memories like ghosts haunting and teasing emotions
and feelings.

Eliciting tears and heartfelt loneliness, cradling
all of it is abandonment.

Life seems to be a process of giving love and then
destroying it's possibilities within death.

A saddened plight of human nature, having no way of
reversing it, wishing there was a way, however.

Going deeply into memories we take them out, laugh,
cry, are overjoyed or saddened by what we have al-
ready been through in our lives.

No redress at all, we walk forward and then finally
die in the midst of nothing at all.

Incessantly going into the future we have no recourse
in which to take with us anything at all.
