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.

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

I remember
how it felt
when I thought
anything
was possible.
J. Belle

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

breathe in
my salt air
the ocean
replied…
J. Belle

I whisper softly
into the ear
of the ocean
I remember
what I thought
I knew…
do you?
J. Belle

biking home
from work today
I thought
what a privilege
to feel the rain
on my cheeks
the wind
billowing
my trousers
fresh air
in my lungs…
doesn’t matter
what you say
it felt great
and life is good.
J. Belle

There is beauty
in growing
exponentially
while managing
to stay the same.
J. Belle

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…
J. Belle

there are times
that i just
fall in love
with the words
as they trickle down
from the sky
onto my forehead
cheeks and chest
as i passively delight
in the rippling touch
of every vowel
and consonant.
J. Belle
