I dreamed it was many years later
and I had grown old
I was afraid to show myself to you
As your wild rose had lost
her bright red colour
And her petals didn’t have
the same strength,
But were hanging down
I was afraid you wouldn’t love me no more
You wouldn’t even recognize me
And maybe, even prefer another rose
Shyly I looked at you
But you, beautiful you
You didn’t even see my wrinkles
You only looked in awe
Locked with my eyes once again
And touched base
with the timeless beauty
inside the rose’s heart

My eyes stare a daydream
My heart beats a slow dance
And then in

one, two

one, two

I sway you here with me

©RoseGirl2019

I see you in a bare, black landscape
Among mountains and shadows
Is it the underworld
of sadness and fear?

Create from your heart
And take your paintbrush
Make a few green trees,
some colorful flowers,
a cat by your side and draw birds

Let me be your light in the dark
Come forward in love
Do not wait for the sun
For the sun is waiting for you
On the other side
of the mountains of fear
There is love

What would the moon see
if she looks down from above
Would she see me staring
and thinking of you?
Would she see you staring
and thinking of me?

Would she see how I look up
at her and the stars at night
And see you doing the same?

Would she see those two flames
burning inside our hearts
Two little lights that light up
from the earth
Would she smile as she sees
distance is relative
and we are connected
even more than we think?

I have a new story to write
As this one is better,
much better than the old
I will let out all my butterflies
and they will fill each page
with high vibrating love
I will then poetry you into it
together with me
We will dance our blissful lines
The story will rewrite history
And will create a new tomorrow

©RoseGirl2019

Follow me to calmer waters
As we sail towards destiny
Have my back, my love
While I hold us steady

I am not afraid no more
to move away
from all that doesn’t serve
my highest good

I am not afraid no more
to be on my own,
to go within
To lead with my heart
And to protect our ship

We are here on open sea
And although there is water all around
In my mind I already see the shore

©RoseGirl2019

And at night
the noises of the day
fade away
The world outside is far,
hidden behind
closed curtains
You are near
inside and all around
and in silence
I fly with you
and drift away
in a love bubble

©RoseGirl2019

And like a moth
I keep flying to the light
And although my wings can get
broken and burned
With open heart I fly
towards the flame,
towards love
Even when it is dark all around
my eyes keep searching for you

©RoseGirl2019

There is a wild man in you
that is wild at heart
and has wild dreams

A wild man that does not play
by the rules
but follows his own wild ways

He is led by a fire inside,
the tunes in his heart,
the love he envisions in his songs

A wild man that longs
for his wild rose
and to dance with her,
wild and playful

©RoseGirl2019

Where your mouth made clouds
Your eyes always let the sun shine through
And showed the truest version of you
Stories could mislead
But your eyes could not deceive
as portal to your pure heart
They could only speak the truth

©RoseGirl2019

I showed you every part of me
I wrote you every detail of my heart
As I wanted you to see me,
to read my beauty
And to love me within
and beyond my words

And now I realize, I never needed to
For you always see me even with your eyes closed
You saw my light shining
long before I saw it myself

The love letter you gazed into my heart
When you looked at me
I didn’t dare to open it back then
But now, carefully I read
your words one by one
Each word is full of love

If I only had opened it before
I didn’t need to seek your love
in all the words I wrote to you
As all the time inside my heart
your love letter was stored

©RoseGirl2019

I hold your hand
and with my finger
I follow each line
on your palm
Pain that left deep traces
Memories that are carved

I then hold my hand
next to yours
And click the paths,
connect the dots

No more loose ends
and lost ways
As the lines together
show a drawing
and tell a beautiful
story of love

©RoseGirl2019

All the people who read
along with us
I make a stage of my poetry
And bring us under the
bright shining spotlights
So that the audience
can witness our love

©RoseGirl2019

Let’s swim
to the surface
No more
with our heads underwater
No more
drowned in heartache
But let’s heal together
on dry land and
under the sun

©RoseGirl2019

My heart
pulses, burns, radiates
it bubbles and waves
It glows of heat
I feel you within
A heart
that is activated
by love
As it talks
with yours

©RoseGirl2019

And with a deep breath
I put the mental chatter to rest
And move into my heart space

I break the chains with
disturbing thoughts and
stories of the past
To make a new future
in this moment

There is gold to find
within the heart
when I lift the veils
to see the truth
As here in this moment,
in this breath
there is love
and there is you

©RoseGirl2019

In heart I will stand by your side tonight
In your voice you will hear me
sing tenderly to you
I will hold the stars
above your head
as spotlights
Our love will shine
brightly upon you
So you won’t be in the dark
And in your beauty,
in your heart,
you will be
lightened

And in the autumn of 2015
we saw each other in Arnhem,
the Dutch city by the river Rhine
It seemed that the world had gone mad
The war in Syria had just brought
thousands of refugees to my land

As sensitive hearts we were both
deeply affected
And we talked about that
meanwhile our arms
were constantly seeking for each other
Like two hugging bears
we kept giving each other hugs
In a cold Dutch late autumn
We were longing for warmth

In a mad world
in which we both felt lost
and from which we wanted to flee
we hugged each other home that night
As in each other’s arms we found refuge

©RoseGirl2019

I play memories in my head
like short films
I rewind the times we met
And then I see your eyes
Always those beautiful eyes
to zoom in

How can I forget
As they burned their way inside
into my heart
And then became
the main scene
on the screen in my mind

©RoseGirl2019

While driving on the road
I could see you in every car that passed by
My eyes searched restlessly
for you everywhere around
Like they sensed that you are near
My heart driven by you
You fuel it
If I would let it steer
it would naturally finds it way
and would drive to you

©RoseGirl2019

And one night,
it was a cold, rainy day in February,
we met in Solingen, a German town
We were both foreigners
in a land that was once divided in two
by a wall

Later you told me
you had seen me immediately
when I had entered the crowded place
Was something in you awaiting me
Although you said
you were surprised and happy
that I had come

Maybe, you were always awaiting me
somehow
Like I have awaited you all my life
And in Solingen we were
open to each other
in an innocent, childlike way
It was before ego fears
started to build a wall

In Germany we were both strangers
But together we were on common ground
And Germany shows us
Although a wall was once built
It can be broken down

©RoseGirl2019

You like to watch from a distance
Your eyes always seemed to spot me
How I loved to be watched by those eyes
As they could see through anything

You think it was a secret no one knows
How your eyes gazed
and immediately seemed to love me
But I knew it all the time
Because when you gazed at me
I gazed at you secretly

©RoseGirl2019

I feel you send me love
And it’s the most blissful feeling in the world
My heart is open to receive
And do you feel how via the channel
between our hearts
love is sent back to you?

©RoseGirl2019

Do you remember, some time ago
on a Monday evening in Eindhoven
an ugly town in the Netherlands
that was beautiful only that night
because of you

I saw you standing in the distance
There was a crowd between us
We were both talking to others
But meanwhile I was all the time
secretly gazing at you

And I saw you did the same
Your eyes were magnetized to me
Tension was tangible and built up
As we both knew

How eventually the crowd would dissolve
And how we would end up
eye to eye and in each other’s arms

©RoseGirl2019

I showed you the art to dance
I let my words dance before your eyes
I let your heart dance with mine

And now my love, dance in all what you do
Dance your way out of your thoughts,
your worries, your fears
Dance through the night
Dance along with your songs
Let your world dance
Let your voice dance, your feet
Let your dreams dance
And let me dance with you

©RoseGirl2019

Energy is rising
A whirlwind of fire
makes its way up
And connects
The flesh and the heavens
Two hearts and two bodies
in their creation of love

©RoseGirl2019

Ground yourself in me
I am dressed in white
And although my hair waves
in the wind
I stand solid on the earth

Anchor your wild dreams in my light
Mine are anchored in yours
You led me all the way
And now I will root you deep in love

©RoseGirl2019

‘Moon, my heart fills with love
when I think of him
My heart fills with ache
as he isn’t here next to me
Please tell me,
when will I see my beloved again?’

‘My dear, you will see him
the day the sun will rise
the day the king will claim
his power, his land and all
that is his

You will see him when the stars align
When the heavens give green light
When your heart is ready to receive

The day you have stood the tests
faith put on you
And your heart is healed and whole enough
to look with open eyes in the bright mirror of love’

‘But when is that day, moon?’

‘Right on time, my dear.
Anytime soon.’

©RoseGirl2019

The sun and the moon
He, the king of the day
She, the queen of the night
together they rule the sky
and balance each other out

Strong unseen forces
keep them in place
Divine order
keeps them connected
through time and space

He shines his light
He gives, she receives
and reflects
She rules the tides,
the waters of emotions
while he wakes up
to a new day
with action and decisions
to be made

You, my sun, my king
me, your moon, your queen
We complement
And together
we rule our sky of love
