RoseAnn V. Shawiak Poems

Searching honky-tonky rhythms for meanings of life
as we continue on our way, looking for good times
that we can handle with ease.
...

Letting go, finding a way to move on, living through
experiences that constantly tantalize this mind as it
exercises the reality of what's going on in this life.
...

Thrilling to music of tomorrow as it plays into this mind
with a captivating reflection that pertains to what will
happen in the near future.
...

Once upon a time life was peaceful and serene, somehow
inequality came into being, unwanted, but pushing it-
self into landscapes of important aspects of life.
...

Clusters of thoughts like three tasty chocolate bars
are touching this brain pleasure center, tempting mind
and intellect.
...

Stirring up emotions, pulling me in many directions, feeling an intensity mounting interiorly, taking me soaring above mundane things today.
Rhythm scoring itself within me, soothing my mind, allowing thoughts to flow evenly, smoothly, taking me to outskirts of imagination.
Freely letting me contemplate and gently massaging serenity into my being.
...

Reveling in the music, rocking away, writing in rhythmic strokes of a pen.
Enjoying beating notes as they gyrate tempos, reverberating sounds throughout the atmosphere.
Totally absorbed in sounds filling my mind interiorly, tones blessing me as I listen to a band of renown through poetry.
...

Tossing upon an ocean of emotion, being thrown about with no actual hold on life and it's supposed meaning.
Looking askance, hoping to fit in somewhere before expiring.
Seeing untoward expressions filling people's faces, not recognizing any of it for self.
Yet, feeling dejected hopelessness of being human on earth.
...
