time
cradled me
in the palm
of his hand
looking up
i whispered
quietly
will you
hold me
just for
a little while?
time nodded
cupped his
fingers
gently
calmly
I curled up
tucked
into the
crevasses
of time’s
worn hands
as he carried me
across the threshold…
J. Belle
time takes hold
bound by his grip
blind trust
firm squeeze
pupils dilated
scarcely
breathe
following
please
lead me
slowly
gently
shuffling
through
the darkness
into the light.
J. Belle
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…
J. Belle
She whispered cautiously
into the ear of time…
take me with you,
she breathed.
Time sat down beside her
and gently caressed her thigh…
move as I flow, my love,
and you will never be left behind.
J. Belle
