She dances her words
into a poem
and makes a free
choreography of love

When The Heart Feels Its Way Through
Sometimes I wake up with a start
in the middle of the night
My body, my thoughts that search
anxiously for you
All those thousands of miles of distance
piled up like a mountain between us
until the heart feels its way through
and love picks you up
to bring you instantly closer than close to me
©RoseGirl2021
Nocturnal Thoughts
At night the moon
whispers to me
how proud she of the sun
that he keeps shining
and rising
through clouds, fog
even in dark times
and then, I think of you
©RoseGirl2021
Let’s Kiss
When words fail
waters rise high
and around us
storms push and pull
in the midst of all of it
let’s kiss
and anchor our lips,
our tongues
in each other
in fire, in passion
in pleasure
and celebrate love
©RoseGirl2021
What I Feel For You
In many ways
I can tell you
many things
but best is
to just feel it
in your heart
©RoseGirl2021
Colors
Although the day
looks grey
Love radiates
from within
in many colors
©RoseGirl2021
Escape
So much pain
in the head
The mind seeks
an escape
and thinks of
kissing you
©RoseGirl2021
Nesting
I watch love doves
build their nest
in the hazelnut tree
and think of us
We, two love birds
that nest together
in each other’s heart
to give birth
to our desires
©RoseGirl2021
Enough
I may be not like all the others
with their perfect pictures,
perfect art
I’m like the wind
and blow my words
into a poem
without knowing in advance
how they will land
I’m not the others
but I’m me
Enough to fit
perfectly into your heart
©RoseGirl2021
Vehicle
Falling asleep
with the thought of you
is the best vehicle
to my dreams
©RoseGirl2021
In Awe
Sometimes,
my words
keep silent
as they are
so much in awe
of you
©RoseGirl2021
Harmony
I look up to let my eyes fly
along with birds
I sing a song
and let my fingers
dance on strings
I think of you and let poetry
well up in me
to find harmony
in chords, in words, in love
when in and around me
it seems a shaky mess
©RoseGirl2021
Homecoming
And I come home
after a strenuous day
I turn the key,
open the door
sit down, sigh,
think of you
and come home
to love
And then outside
there may be chaos
it may storm, rain
and thunder,
in my heart
I’m warm and safe
with you
©RoseGirl2021
Full
In a dark night
when eyes miss
and distance hurts
I go within
into the sacred temple
of the soul
where we are always
in each other’s arms
where we dance together
throughout eternity
And I let the love and light
that we share
penetrate every cell of my body
Until I float among the stars
and I’m as full and bright
as the moon
Full of me and you
©RoseGirl2021
Bathing In Moonlight
As I lie on my bed
in the dark
and I hear the wolves
of pain howl within,
the full moon shines
through the window
upon me
and makes tears
and skin shimmer
Naked I bathe in her light
and let it absorb and heal me
let it touch, caress me
as if it is your embrace
©RoseGirl2021
Digging Up
Lying still
buried
underneath
a heap of pain
Within I dig up
the treasure
of love
©RoseGirl2021
The Bird That Sings At Dawn
Even if nights are dark
and lonely
and headaches and heartaches
rage brutally
There’s always a bird
that sings at dawn
of our love
©RoseGirl2021
The Music Of Words
Even if my words don’t see
the light of day
I always write
with my pen, my hands,
my steps, my heart, my breath
for poetry, the music of words,
is the language
that connects me to you
©RoseGirl2021
She Has A Dream In Her Heart
The clouds in her head
are so heavy and thick
and her uncried tears
of so many years
seem to weigh more
than her feet can carry
In the morning she waits
for the stars
and at night she waits
for the sun
Yet she has a dream
in her heart
She has him in her heart
©RoseGirl2021
The World Belongs To Those Who Play And Love
Right in front of me
in the street
I suddenly see two squirrels
They freely hop
and play around
with each other
as if danger doesn’t exist
in the middle of the city
amidst the chaos
as if the whole big world
belongs to them
My love, what if
those two squirrels
were us?
©RoseGirl2021
Smelling Spring
On my bicycle I fight to wake up
from last night’s nightmares
A soft breeze touches my skin,
tickles my nose
and then straight through
a curtain of morning tears,
I can smell Spring
I can smell all the good of us
©RoseGirl2021
In Your Hands
Hold my hurting heart
carefully
in your hands
and caress it,
kiss it
sing for it
keep it safe and protected
Press it gently to yours
and let it feel
what it’s beating for
where it belongs
©RoseGirl2021
Breaking Silence
Sometimes the silence between us
screams so loudly
that it is deafening
and heart hurting, heart breaking
until I quiet my mind down
and hear you, hear love
again that sings softly within
and breaks not the heart
but breaks any silence
©RoseGirl2021
The Real Nightmare
The real nightmare is not
the terrifying dream I have
in which the skeletons of my
childhood come back to life
but it is when I wake up from that
in the middle of the night
bathing in horrors
and you are not there
©RoseGirl2021
The Same Old Love
And there it is again
the same old pain
that explodes harshly
and mercilessly in my head
almost impossible to bear
and as I lie in my bed
surrounded by darkness
unable to move
I surrender, I breathe, I pray
and feel the same old love
while I think of you
©RoseGirl2021
Flowered Fields
No matter how harsh
and cold the Winter
No matter how many fears,
doubts and worries
have covered the mind
when love shines its sun
and snow and ice melt,
the green flowered fields
of the heart reappear again
©RoseGirl2021
Let’s Play
We are the instruments
and the music is love
©RoseGirl2021
I See Us
It’s not always easy to see
more than other people can see
to see beyond horizons,
beyond time, form, stories and pain
To see light in all its colours
but to also see uncomfortable shadows
But whatever I see,
whatever truths my third eye
may reveal,
in the midst of all of it
I always see me and you
©RoseGirl2021
When I Listen
At night when I keep my body
and mind still
and listen to your heart
I hear it speaking to me
by making me feel
making me know and see
its truth
©RoseGirl2021
Where I Fit In
I don’t fit in any group
or in anything
I fit nowhere
except in your heart
©RoseGirl2021
The Day After
The day after is grey and rainy
like there are many days after
since I last held you in my arms
But any day, one day
it will be the day before
©RoseGirl2021
Sad Songs
I have too many sad songs
within me
that are played
especially in lonely nights,
in lost mornings
or at unexpected times
during the day
Tearful tunes
that only I can hear
Or my love, do you hear
them too?
©RoseGirl2021
Two Hearts
Two bodies on different continents
can be separated by an ocean
But two hearts can never be
separated from love
©RoseGirl2021
Sea Mail
I give the rose to the sea
and the sea takes it
May it travel far
my flower of love
and may it reach you
©RoseGirl2021
Listen To The Sea
And if you listen carefully
to the sea
you hear desire roaring
you hear yearning rolling
and love flowing
as it moves its water
back and forth
from one shore to the other
and speaks about the depths of us
©RoseGirl2021
Lullaby
In the silent cold winter night
pain thunders in the head
and wakes up too many thoughts
The body lies still
and the heart sings a soft lullaby
that all is safe and well
that there is love, there is us
to put pain and thoughts to sleep
©RoseGirl2021
The Truth About The Sun
Sunrise or sunset
it’s all an illusion
Just a matter of perspective
because, if you look above
the atmosphere
you’ll see that the sun
never leaves or returns
but always stays where he is
the way you always
stay with me
©RoseGirl2021
Where To Look At
As I sit down on my yoga mat
to start my morning practice
and grey thoughts create
grey images in my mind,
a line of sunlight falls through
the window on your picture,
on your hopeful face
as if the sun points to me
where, instead, to look at
©RoseGirl2021
Picking Love
Like the blackbird in the bush
that picks orange berries
among snow and ice
I pick our love
among pain
and dark thoughts
and let it nourish me
©RoseGirl2021
Where I’m Good At
I’m not good
at many things
But at least,
I’m good at being me
and loving you
©RoseGirl2021
Smiling Sun
Sun, why are you smiling
when I walk here in sadness
and yearning
Is it because you see the bigger
picture high up there in the sky?
Is it to tell me not to look back
but to keep moving forward
and to let what’s ahead shine
brightly in my face
as you melt the snow for me
and clear my path
©RoseGirl2021
Confetti
King Winter seems to celebrate
snowflakes whirl down from heaven
like confetti
as if he knows what and who
is in my heart
that after the cleansing cold
one day spring will heat things
up again
as underneath ice and snow
dreams have already been sown
©RoseGirl2021
Fingers To Fingers
Carefully I run my fingers
over your words
One by one I touch them
as if each word holds a part of you
and as I let their meaning stream
into my fingers
it’s like their creator touches me
©RoseGirl2021
Warmth
Nightmares come at night
like hyenas from all corners
to catch their prey
and bring the ghosts of the past
back to life
even when I open my eyes
I can still see them
And while I listen to a freezing cold
snow storm that rages
around the house
I crawl deep under the covers,
under the warmth of our love
to find back my dreams of the future
©RoseGirl2021
Sacred Purity
My first steps in the snow
are light and playful
Childlike I dance around
in a world covered in white,
stripped of its usual ways
Like a soul that is
stripped of the ego
I dance
in the sacred purity
of our love
©RoseGirl2021
Heartbeat
There’s always a beat under my poetry
that makes every word dance,
every word swing
sometimes, it’s a calm rhythm
slow dancing
other times, it’s on fire
running up and high
One beat for two
or a melancholic sway
Head banging, tiptoeing or discoing
Sure is, it always beats for you
©RoseGirl2021
