RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Complications always arriving on doorsteps of
uncertainty, life not being what we have come
to believe growing up.
...

Meeting in the midst of heartache, taking us on trails
of emptiness, isolating and being alone, hearts aching
for love no longer here.
...

Whispering sweet nothings, but no one hears them for
love has not visited yet, years have been lived alone,
nothing stopping to take a heart into throes of love.
...

Porch lights steadily burning, reaching out, hoping
they will lead someone into the arms of a latent love.

Wanting to move forward, touching this mind acutely
...

Life taking me down trails of existence, being left
alone on their rocks and stones.

Hurting and feeling abandonment of a lifetime, losing
...

Children flying through their lives, playing and
running with the excitement of life.

Finding so many things to do, never losing their
...

Watching the sky turning from blue to sun rose and
crème colors while moving right in front of me.

Mind open, ready for the darkness to enter earth's
...

Entrance into imagination has been opened through
music's melodies and harmonies.

Pulling this mind along, giving surrounding atmo-
...

Collecting, thinking, binding, writing everything into
interior albums of photographic images, traveling along
with chords, notes and sounds of measured rhythms.
...

Doing to others as I do unto myself, treating everyone
with respect and dignity, finding goodness in every
person, never escaping manners taught when younger by
parents.
