When it’s just me
and the stars
and this cross
I carry on my back
When the morning feels
out of reach,
I sing
louder than fear,
than pain, than thoughts
wherever you are, my love,
please, sing along with me

In Sight

Are you watching the cat
from a distance
how she licks her wounds
but still tries to move gracefully
to find her way home

Or is she watching you
how your heart is wounded
but is still beating determined
and strong

Does she watch,
do you watch
just to see if you still
have each other
in sight

©RoseGirl2021

Coming

I feel and hear
and smell you
even now you’re gone
so perhaps
you never truly went
as long as
the thought of you
still comes

©RoseGirl2021

Having It All

Afraid to lose,
she loses all the time
But how can
her heart ever lose
as inside,
it always has it all

©RoseGirl2021

Ebb And Flow

If it feels like the sea
has abandoned her
and she’s been left
scared and alone
on her shore
as its water pulls back
its waves
roll away from her
she just needs to breathe
to see the sea
doesn’t go anywhere
and the tide will turn

©RoseGirl2021

See You In The Heart

Did you ever leave
Did I ever leave
Or was every ‘goodbye’
our eyes said
just another
‘see you in the heart’

©RoseGirl2021

In Quiet Times

In quiet times
when it rains outside
and tears fall
with a lot of noise
I listen
to the silence
between us
and hear
so much love

©RoseGirl2021

Where The Stars Are

It’s dark everywhere
Lights have been turned off
Stars have fallen from the sky
But you caught them in your heart, my love
So I can feel them there

©RoseGirl2021

Behind Clouds

Is it the sun
that hides
from my sky
Or is it me
who hides
behind clouds
from the sun

©RoseGirl2021

The Thread Of You

When eyes are blinded
the world is a maze
feet are running
and searching
and the heart is beating
too fast,
I hold on to the thread
of you,
that is woven
in my existence
to find back
the core of me

©RoseGirl2021

Dark Moon

Is it the dark moon
that makes nights so dark
Or does it just ask me
to find light, to find you
even if the sky is full
of absence

©RoseGirl2021

My Way To You

Lost on a shaky earth,
I look at the stars,
follow their lines
to find my way to you

©RoseGirl2021

Facing The Sun

When words lie heavy
in the shadows,
only see the dark
and try to make
desperate poems
I turn them around
so they can face the sun

©RoseGirl2021

Wind Of Longing

A crying wind of longing
that comes from far,
blows through the night,
through the cracks,
penetrates the sleep
and wakes me up
so I feel
on my naked skin
on my naked heart
that I’m missing you

©RoseGirl2021

Tasting Stars

Looking at the sky
the night falls softly
on my lips
as I taste the stars
that seem to
have been kissed
to me by you

©RoseGirl2021

Dance Anyway

When pain makes
words so heavy,
they’re unable
to dance in poetry,
love reaches out a hand
to lift them up
so they can dance anyway

©RoseGirl2021

All Is Well

Thoughts paint
dark clouds above
a terrifying landscape
when they look
from the past
into the future

But in the now,
in the heart
where I am with you,
all is well

©RoseGirl2021

Love Rebuilds

Pain leaves a trail
of destruction
in the head
From the heart
love rebuilds

©RoseGirl2021

Keep Listening

Keep listening
to my whispers
in the pause between
two heartbeats,
two thoughts,
two breaths
to hear that
you are loved

©RoseGirl2021

Where It Wants To Go

Borders can be drawn
between countries
Oceans can split continents
But love is the bird in the sky
that is free to fly
where it wants to go

©RoseGirl2021

On The Horizon

I look at the horizon
and although I cannot see
the other shore,
I know it’s somewhere
and the sea and all its water
at some point comes to an end

As I know that you are there

©RoseGirl2021

Sea Wind

The sea wind blows strongly
through my head
and removes the clouded thoughts
so the heart can show again
its clear blue skies of love

©RoseGirl2021

Keep It Shining

When the sun glides away
from the sky
and the night seems ominous
don’t let yourself glide away
from the sun
but keep it shining in your heart

©RoseGirl2021

Fairies

As I walk here
I leave my marks,
leave my trail
and put my poems
in the dunes,
the woods for you
they will whisper, sing
to you like fairies
so you can find them
and follow me

©RoseGirl2021

In All That Is Sacred

The wind rustles
through the trees
around the white church
and if you listen carefully
you hear the angels sing
And I bow my head
and breathe my prayers
I breathe you
for in all that is sacred
I find our love

©RoseGirl2021

The Sea Is Hers

The sea is all hers
when she dives into it
She floats on her back
on the waves in the sun
The sky is the paper
on which she smiles
her poetry to him
And the water
is all of her love

©RoseGirl2021

The Light Has Won

A rooster crows
and harbingers the sunrise
Sheep bleat
The countryside slowly awakens
And I think of you
and know,
although the night
has been dark
the light has won again

©RoseGirl2021

You’re (Not) Here

You’re here in everything
around me
in the soft sea wind
in the trees that move
their leaves
in my longing
in the evening sun
and yet they’re all
telling me
that you’re not here

©RoseGirl2021

Adventures

Stories flow from my lips
as I whisper them
in the wind for you
Adventures blown
across the sea
that call you like sirens
to join them

©RoseGirl2021

From Kiss To Kiss

I walk to the sea
on the path where your feet
have kissed the earth too
when you were in the same land,
on the same side as me
when the sea didn’t separate
but held us both together
As I let the earth kiss my feet
it’s like you kiss them
and then I walk straight through
the past, the present, the future
from kiss to kiss with you

©RoseGirl2021

When Tears Fall Hard

Sometimes tears fall so hard
that they break the heart,
hurt the skin
But luckily, love is there
to kiss and caress
the wounded spots

©RoseGirl2021

On My Behalf

The full moon looks out
for you tonight
to kiss you softly
on my behalf
with her tender light
into sweet dreams

©RoseGirl2021

Intimate

Those nights that I wrote you
I bridged the distance between us
with my words,
pulled you in letter by letter
so we could be together
in the naked space where
your eyes and my pen,
your silence and my words,
your heart and my heart met

©RoseGirl2021

Destination

The light of stars
travels a long way
to reach the eyes
as love travels
across the world tonight
to reach your heart

©RoseGirl2021

It Knows

The day runs fast
and passes with big steps
as if it knows
with every minute elapsed
it moves closer to you

©RoseGirl2021

When It Hurts

Love itself does not hurt
or separate us
But it’s when we
separate ourselves
from love, it hurts

©RoseGirl2021

Love Still Sounds

Can you hear me
in my silent world
when I have muted
my voice,
imprisoned my words
but love still sounds
in many tones

©RoseGirl2021

Of Use

If the wind just blows through her
as if she doesn’t exist,
if rain falls anyway
and stars disappear
If words don’t really need her,
the world won’t even miss her
at least her heart is of use
as it loves him

©RoseGirl2021

Pure Love

Raw pain hits the head
and makes a hell
though pure love strokes the heart
and then heaven
is just one thought of you away

©RoseGirl2021

A Kiss Sung By You

Even if the night roars
the head cries in ache
and loneliness screams,
somewhere out there
there’s a soft tune
a thought, a feeling
a kiss sung by you
that soothes the soul

©RoseGirl2021

A New Song

A sad song is played
between our hearts
of all that is missing
of what we lost
I’ll blow some dreams
your way
just make a new song,
my love
