I reach with my fingers
caressing the space
around me
molding it
like clay
forming shapes
lovely and smooth
I can not unsee it
the beauty
it warms my heart
and sets me free
J. Belle
Poetry – touch
Poetry – for now
For now,
I’ll just keep walking
the answer is
bound to wash up
on shore
eventually.
J. Belle
Poetry – I told the sea
I told the sea about you
whispering softly
as the waves lap
at my ankles in reply…
J. Belle
Poetry – your mind…
there are moments
when I miss
how it felt
when your mind
sat near mine
that emptiness
is grief…
J. Belle
Poetry – like no one is watching…
I am not willing
to give up
on the people
& world around me.
Instead
I choose
to dance
like no one
is watching
and love
like there is
no tomorrow.
J. Belle
Poetry – as I pause
it is the little things
100 beans
counted slowly
ground by hand
press & drip
froth & pour
a little heart
leaf or flower
it is warm
in my hands
as I pause…
the scent wafts
eyes close
corners of my mouth
curl upward
these are the things
that give me joy
in the moment
and hope
for the future.
J. Belle
Poetry – joy
there are
some things
and some people
that just simply
give me joy
a genuine smile
it’s a lovely feeling.
J. Belle
Poetry – Snowflake
snow falls softly
on the surface
settles there
flake by flake
buffering the noise
within
my chin tilts
downward
my eyelids close
exhale…
resting without
a sound
snowflakes fall
flake by flake
all around me.
J. Belle
Poetry – beauty
caress me softly
sweet breeze
upon my face
this one swollen tear
rolls slowly
gently
down my neck
Let the things
I can not control
flow through my hair
into the wind
behind me
Restoring calm
breathing in
the beauty
around me
J. Belle
Poetry – p.b.r.
When a lot of things
happen all at once
it’s best to pause
breathe
rest
J. Belle
