#104 Limbs

He called me muse
I called him nothing
That wouldn’t leave
Nothing that wouldn’t change
Nothing that
Held my shadows
And drank my light.
His lashes
Stretched ligaments
Till they tore
from multiple affections
misjudged
Arms tinged grey
His breath took my colours away
Cowering under fading skin
legs  left paralysed
yet comfortably
hidden from sight.
He called me muse
I called him nothing
That would hurt
Nothing that would stay
Nothing that carried my 
zeal 
and gifted me with indifference.

#52 You Are Loved

courtesy sunshizzle





You are loved.

Many people don't believe this,
maybe because they never heard it
but I wager you've seen it in actions
you never took any notice of.

A smile in the morning,
a hot meal prepared in the evening,
a quick hug and peck on
the cheek...
the constant chatter
from your child
who wants you to
know every detail
about their day
just because
you matter..
You are loved.

Do you know this?
Just for a moment,
take time
to reflect on small actions
you take so easily for granted.

A short text
that asks
What's up with you today?
That person who sits by your side silently
even though you tell them to go away
That friend
who calls to talk
and when it’s your turn
really listens
because to them,
it’s important...
all that you have to say.

That someone who tries to explain
even though they really
don't have to
just to show that
it’s important for them to know
that you want to understand them too.
Spontaneous jokers
that leave you breathless
while laughing,
someone who leaves work
because you don't feel well
and brings those menthol drops
you hate
to help with that coughing...


You are loved.
Don't ever forget this.
When the afternoon shadows seem darker
and the air seems more chilled than usual.

You may not have heard
the words,
but somehow, in
someway you have felt love's touch.
Someone has shown you
You've just never noticed them;
or never even listened with your heart
that much
Love lightly knocks
on different doors
to all of which you hold the keys
but if you never use them
you'll never notice the
way love speaks...
So today;
just for this moment
think of the actions
you’ve been shown
and take notice
that
you are loved...
But do you love in return?

#31 Incomplete Works of Art



                                                  
John Ahee



I painted my imperfections
upon the wrath of your tears
and wished each stroke
could dry into
a classic renaissance piece
embedded into the
contemporary ceiling of all
the existential cares
that had left us
bound
to air-locked philosophies
of what made us lost
in each others eyes
instead of found in our own layers.
I guided my own paths
through the fallacies of your thoughts
and left my essence unattended
to undergo restorative
processes
you could not begin to complete
since your own
was all the more cracked and
stripped than we could ever agree
and our own tools too weak
to begin
a transformation
both of us
desperately needed from within.
Yet foolishly
compounding scanty resources
into an inevitable withdrawal
I threw my expectations over
the whitewashed unevenness of your halls
and hoped that its abstractions
could find a home
inside this hollowness
we made...
ever so calm
despite the powdery residue
you left clinging to my aching arms.
Though I changed my brushes
uncountable times
in attempts to capture
our true depth,
these uncountable times
created great costs
unaccounted for
in coveted scenarios
where uncountable secrets
were kept
and thus,
we were
left
as we both began…
half restored
half discovered
half ended
half explored
half mended
unfinished works of art
that could not
be completed
unless they acknowledged
they needed the
expertise of
a skilled painter’s hands.
