I have come
to understand
that a part of me
will be empty
always
and forever…
J. Belle
Poetry – always
Poetry – in the dark
waiting
in the dark…
below the grotty
street lamp
soft glow
blurred lines
I know
you’ll never come
but I can not
walk away
so I stand
waiting
in the dark…
for today
is not the day.
J. Belle
Poetry – my hands
my hands
I use them
they tell
the story
of my life…
J. Belle
Poetry – find it
When you
can’t find it
elsewhere
find it
within.
J. Belle
Poetry – free falling
It has lived
inside of me
for so many years…
I fall backward
free falling
into the story
inside myself…
time distorts
stretching
folding
in on itself
I almost
nearly
feel whole…
J. Belle
Poetry – Sunrise
blink slowly
not quite awake
the sun peaks
over the horizon
good morning
she whispers
my smile broadens
eyelids droop
snuggle deeper
under my duvet
drift back
into slumber
thinking of you.
J. Belle
Poetry – Raindrops
a long awaited rain
trickles down
my forehead
water puddles
around my feet
scent of soil
and flowers
fills my senses
I close my eyes
sit down next to you
enjoying the rain
in that special place
inside my mind
where only you & I
can go together
it’s calm
for a moment…
J. Belle
Poetry – you you you
I listened while
she gently explained
the knowledge
of the sea…
you will become
much happier
when you realize
that if it is
not said to you
or given to you
it is not for you
you you you
ripple ripple ripple
slosh slosh slosh
the waters
always know
best best best
J. Belle
Poetry – replenish
breathe in
my salt air
the ocean
replied…
J. Belle
Poetry – my fingers…
my fingers
motionless
barely touching
the keys
my body tingles
mind relaxes
breath slows
the world
around me
becomes fuzzy
and warm
it’s at that moment
that exact moment
just before
it begins…
