everything
we do
undulates
outward
look around
it can be seen
along the surface
of the waters…
what is it that
your ripples
send out
into the world?
J. Belle
Poetry – ripples
Poetry – fall from my grasp
the words
that bubble up
from my heart
tumble
tenderly
lovingly
from my lips
they are mine
given freely
to the world
around me
honest
pure
no matter
how many
fall from my
grasp
they are not
nothing
but a part
of me
my
being
seeds
upon
soil
in
the
minds
of
others
J. Belle
Poetry – folding inward
she folds inward
stretching her arms
smiling wide
tumbling backward
into the expanse
of her own mind…
J. Belle
Poetry – because, well…
Her mind
might go
this way
or that way
twirl around
and around
fall deep
into thought
or fly high
in the clouds
but one thing
never changes
will always be true
I’m not going to say
because, well
i don’t want to.
J. Belle
Poetry – always
I have come
to understand
that a part of me
will be empty
always
and forever…
J. Belle
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 – shadow of mine
I bend
sway
to rhythm
of the tide
take my hand
sweet breeze
caress my body
with the sands
of time
make me
love you
dear sunset
with each
ripple
lapping wave
frothy waters
upon my ankles
dance with me
shadow of mine
stay with me
never let go.
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…
