stay with me
in the moonlight
rest with me
in the moonlight
wait with me
in the moonlight
and dawn
will bring us right
J. Belle
Poetry – moonlight
Poetry – ripples
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 – 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 – 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…

Poetry – Who I am
There are days
that even though
I know who I am
it’s hard to see
how I fit into
this world
around me.
J. Belle
Pawel Szvmanski
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.
