I hear sweet lullabies in your laugh
even when you find it too rough, too loud.
I still believe your eyes shine brighter than the sun
even when you're on the verge of breaking down.
I still know that flowers grow from your skin
and that life exists from within
even when you pick them out like they're a sin.
I still see summer in your smile
and hear spring in your sigh
even when you think it's dead season in your life.
I still love you for you
even when you don't love yourself too.

Thank you to everyone who stuck with me through my long hiatus from this account! Life happened, as it does, and my focus was taken away from writing and creating for quite a while!
I'm so excited to be back in action and actually WRITING again!!
Stay tuned for new poems, and if you're interested in my artwork you can follow @artsymagee on Instagram and Facebook!
Thank you all again, I can't wait to see what the future holds creatively! Glad to be back! (:

anna magee - “Spit” (September 25th, 2021)
February 25, 2021
Here and there one can find
Little puffy streams that spill through the carpet
An indication of seams split, an unknown victim,
Soft piles of proof, a give away
Leading velvet trails twisting toward the culprit
Who is sitting almost expectantly by the window
With a face
Of audacity, or guilt, perhaps both
Beaming from puppy eyes
A single string still dangling from quivering lips
As if to engrave the point

Good news is like a good symphony
Close your eyes and listen for hours
The ups and downs of various voices
Monotone or melodic they chime away
Knowledge falling from a fountain
A source unseen and wearily trusted
But it comes so easily from the teeth
That tumble and fall and catch again
A dancer re-footing from a stumble
And off they run from point to point
To one I give a hum and nod
A chorus of opinions from the radio
And on and on the chatter runs
