I've always been alone. Especially at nights. The loneliness strikes hard on nights I cry, screeming into my pillow. In those pitch dark nights the one gleam of light that fills my room slowly and beautifully is the moon. Irrespective of how it is, where it is, the moon comes to me. Through my window the comfort I get is the warmth of a mother and the company of a friend. On moonless nights it's as if the moon hands me over to the stars, they shine so bright and I wait for the moon to come to me. I wait for the moon to come to me.
The love that beats in my heart so softly but so magnificently sings your name and its melody soothes my soul. Hear me sing and fill the wind, with sighs so full of your name, like the music in the sunset calling the birds home. Do not forget the love in my heart. It calls you trembling, shining so bright in the dark, a gift, a blessing. Come and let nothing burden our souls, that our dreams shine again so bright we place them in the sky so they become stars. Let the sky be our abode, be day or night, may you always look up and think of me.

Untitled (5:30PM)
It was 5:30 pm and you were laughing as the
Breeze was knocking my hair all around me
The smell of the beach stuck under
Our noses
I glanced at you and could help
But to smile
That's when I knew
I could glance at you for
The rest of my life

Untitled (Love Yourself)
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.

Drizzle
Long detested by most,
The drizzle comes down
Upon the once sun soaked
Town amidst Spring Cleaning.
To me a baptism, to drench
Summer into submission,
The perfect waiting game,
As Summer can push and prod
Impatient and imperious
To make frost heaved asphalt
Sizzle and deflate, shimmer
And expel Winter treasure.
The feathered rain remains
Spring’s single defense
Against her fast-paced sibling
Dousing the region in dampness
One half expects a billow of steam
To blanket and clog terrain
Instead clouds collect cotton
Tempered trails of mist
And the cool cloth of condensation
Insists that we revitalize Winter
For one last day.

Sleep withers away
Each new day, in
Such a special way
One that makes me say
I may survive today...

Trepidation tickles my tired toes as I trace my tracks to my tainted woes.
anna magee (2017)
Sometimes I want to crawl into stranger's backyards and explore them for their natural wonders that remind me of my grandmother's land that was home to my greatest childhood fantasies.

Paper Waltz
- anna magee (March 13th, 2015)
Another poem from high school!
https://www.buymeacoffee.com/artsymagee/paper-waltz
Adult
Then one day you wake up
And realize you’re an adult
And you’re rinsing out cans to recycle
Like your father,
And you’re rubbing your aching hands
Like your mother,
And days whisk by much too fast
For your liking,
And imagination starts to decay
Like they told you would happen
And you’re stuck in a meaningless job
You were told to acquire, so you
Would have something to do for awhile
Which meant until the life was
Sufficiently beaten out of you
And your will to live was as slim
As the hair on your head, a lost cause
To the society in which you bear
Upon caving shoulders.
And before you know it,
The world keeps going
On and on without you
As you lie still in the box you spent
The last few pennies you earned on,
Not even allowed to squirm around
And tell if it was worth it.

Voice
A mastered voice is not unlike
A well tuned, polished instrument
That can captivate the mind
As well as the world
And yet,
My mouth falls open
And out tumbles a nasally
Screech that I feel I should
Apologize for, should I?
Words trip and stutter their way
Through tense teeth
Out into the world
To be heard, judged
And stranded forever
In the cold air
Keeping you waiting as I gag
On my own thought
Steam billows from hot ears
As I regain my verbal footing
And tentatively try again,
Cheeks burning alive
My trepid tongue
My own worst enemy.
