Cool against my temple
my mind sways
to the rhythm of my breath
Thoughts churn
and tumble tenderly
waiting to escape

There is a great
calamity of ideas
that thrust around
inside my mind.
The trick
is to settle
those thoughts
just enough
to allow them
to flow
in one direction
outward
downward
onto the page
below.

Amongst
the chaos
there is
stillness
in the air
if you sit
quietly
you will hear
it’s whispers
sip slowly
on the strength
of this silence
allow it to refill
your cup from within.

The setting sun
warms your body,
your mind.
Allows
regeneration
from within.
Reach out
and gather
the strands of hope
from around you.
Clutch them close
to your heart,
never let them go.

I really love it
when I can sit quietly
listen to the whispers
breathing into my ear
It fills me with
a satisfaction
like no other
when the words
reveal themselves
and I can spill them out
onto the paper
in front of me.

Laying
side by side
I feel your hand
touching mine.
A smile
forms
as petals
brush along
our cheekbones.
Soft, subtle
gentle, carefree
Would you
stay beside me
for a little while?

I remember
this swollen
droplet
like it was
yesterday
The moment
my finger
brushed
it’s underbelly
It felt like
the weight
of the universe
as it trickled
down my finger
Along my arm
and breast
stomach
and thigh
then
other than
it’s glistening
trace
it was just gone.
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.

The breeze is cool
but sunlight streaming
through the window
is warm
Spent daisies
have an earthy
but pleasantly
musky smell
She closes her eyes
Her finger tips
brush against
the rose
petals cascade
in unison
down onto her lap
then
carelessly slip
to the ground
below
J.Belle
I’ve been told
it feels like
wings of
a butterfly.
feathery
touch
along my
cheekbone
gentle
breeze
across my
brow.
I close
my eyes
waiting…
anticipation.

I sit
at my window
watching
the snow fall
on the city below
there’s
softness
about the morning
all the edges
blurred
there’s comfort
in knowing
that the harshness
of the night
worn smooth
the morning sigh
caresses
my cheeks
& forehead
I am left
breathless

Each petal
a memory
soft
and supple
inhale
each scent
hear them
rustle
in the breeze
I want to lay
among
the wildflowers
basking
in their memory
their moment
filling my senses
my mind
my heart
the depths
of what
makes me
me

My goals during this busy week were to:
1. stay calm under pressure
2. take time to recharge
3. smile & really feel it
4. be patient
It felt good ☺️
Time to enjoy the weekend. 🤍
There is
this subtle
quietness
floating
in the air
around me.
Sturdy
secure
and warm
yet can not
be seen or tasted.
The low vibration
like a warm embrace
comforting
I stand with it
listen
and smile.

I am
not something
to be endured
I am
something
to be cherished
appreciated
and savoured
like warm
honey water
cradled
and cupped
in the palm
of your hand
tiny sips
long breaths
eyes closed
that is
as it should be.

So many
things
to say
many
questions
to ask.
But for now
they won’t
come out.
Instead
the words
hang
from the end
of my tongue.
Suspended
there
clinging
to thought
that if they
fall…
they will fall
unheard
spiralling
into the abyss.

I think you are
beautiful
inspiring
and you fill the space
around you with wonder.
I hope one day
you will see it again too.

I lay flat in the cold…
a road made of ice.
Looking up into the darkness
as luminescent colours
dance above me.
Reaching up my arms,
tracing the colours
with my fingertips.
Painting the sky
and my mind with magic.

There are days
when I truly miss
a Kiwi Christmas.
but a snowy, cozy
Christmas in Canada
is nice too.
I’ll be in & out
over the next
few days.
Thinking of each of you
& wishing you all a beautiful holiday season.

I know nothing
about you
and I rarely
see you
but every time
a part of you
appears
I think,
there’s something
about you…
You really are
quite special.

My one goal
for this year
is to keep
my mind
my body
& my heart
healthy & whole
for the entire year
whilst stretching
& growing my creativity
without boundaries.
I will trust
myself
& sweep
all negative
voices & energy
out of the spaces
around me.
✨ welcome 2024 ✨
J. Belle 🤍
Never let someone
(or yourself)
make you feel
that your words
life experiences
knowledge & art
doesn’t have value.
All of it is valuable
even the tiniest
ideas & art
ripple outward
& effect the space
around you.
The world needs
your beauty.
Never stop creating.
J.Belle 💛
The snow
will come
tomorrow
night ❄️
and I will be
another day
closer to
meeting my
new camera.
I feel
giddy
nervous
curious…
hopeful.
7 more days.
J. Belle 💛
