I stand
arms spread wide
eyes lifted
to the sky
my smile
widens
as the droplets
trickle down
my arms
and chest
settling
on the sidewalk
beneath me
the subtle taste
of city in the rain.
J. Belle
Poetry – City Rain
Poetry – the ocean
I feel
warm sun
through the wool
on my back
cool breeze
upon my bare face
taste the salty air
on my tongue
I feel a refreshing
spray of water
each time I hear
a crashing wave
cold rock
slick algae
beneath my feet
I breathe
& exhale
I am there.
J. Belle
Poetry – the poet
to be indifferent
would be the death of me
it is not who I am
or who I ever wish to be.
J. Belle 💛
Poetry – a special place
A special place
cradled lovingly
within my heart
no one else can see
Something
is always missing
that something
is you.
J. Belle
Poetry – sip
Shadow caresses
the edge of sorrow
Light trickles down
into the bowl of hope
Sip from the cup of life
really taste it
the sweet
and the bitter
filling your belly
with resilience.
J. Belle
Poetry – remember
When you stand
in the sunlight
remember those
who sat with you
in the darkness.
J. Belle
Poetry – gentle touch
her thumb
slowly sweeps
across his brow
a tear wells
in the corners
of their eye
her fingers curl
around his ear
her thumb slides
down his jaw
and neck.
bristles course
against the softness
of her touch.
sigh
a moment…
J. Belle
Poetry – breathe
Close your eyes
gently slide your finger
down your forehead
along and under
your nose
across each lip
over your chin
slowly slowly
down your throat
neck and chest
breathe
smile to yourself
you are alive.
J. Belle
Poetry – Grounded
Grounding
is an important
part of growth.
J. Belle
Poetry – The Sea
I’m just going to
smile to myself
and feel invincible.
