I meet you
outside of time
Where the clock is not ticking
No yesterday, no tomorrow
No old year, no new year
No regret, no longing
Nothing marked, nothing set
Except where we are
Here,
in the infinite field of love

What Didn’t Change
The world was turned
upside down
I floated in the dark
But the stars that we saw
when we met
are still where they are

Rising Sun
Feet in the mud
of the polder
as the cold and the rain
caress my face
The winter wind plays
joyfully with my hair
The grey sky kisses me
the river smiles
as if it is the first time
as if there’s only now
Falcons fly above my head
and promise victory
Birds of the Rising Sun
Ancient Egypt deities
greet me
and I greet you from far
in gold rimmed thoughts
And I know I will,
we will rise

Tree And Bird
My body
was in the hospital bed
but I didn’t know
where I was
Words were too much
Legs couldn’t carry me
I didn’t remember
Eyes were closed
most of the time
but when I opened
them
I looked through the window
and saw a tree
with a bird in there
Leaves moved
the bird moved
I didn’t move
Still, like dead
Days passed
I didn’t know
I floated away
out of time
but always back
to the tree
to see the bird
Was it you, my love
that had flown
across the ocean
to keep me alive

Reborn
And it was dark before my eyes
no memory, no history
without a story all that was left
within
was the light, the moment
that opened
the heart to love
To be reborn
in innocence
in the light of Christmas

*I wrote this poem in response to my stay in the ICU/ hospital and the recovery process I’m still in:
Close
How close we are
when all those
miles of thoughts
between us
have been conquered
and hearts do
what they’re here for
as they take the lead
and leave nothing
between them but love

For Two
Can you dance
like you’ve never danced
before
and dance for me
dance for us
I’ll move your heart
so you can dance
for two

A Racing Heart
A heart that is beating too fast
that is racing and aching
gasping for breath
is just missing and longing
and running
with all that it’s got
towards you
©RoseGirl2021
*I’m dealing with some heart problems (low blood pressure, high heart rate, pain on the chest, dizziness, fainting) in my recovery process after my stay in the ICU/ hospital:
Paint
A world grey of
what I’m not able to do
what I don’t want
what I’m missing
I paint it with love

The Castle
The castle in the picture
whispers stories and dreams
and light-heartedly invites us
to come in
Do you remember?
Do you hear?
for whatever life did to us
and the scars it left on our skin
a castle is made
for a king and his queen

You Take Me With You
When my own legs
can’t carry me
wear the rose,
wear love
and carry me
everywhere
right on your heart

The Unfinished Story
I’ve been absent for quite a while on my blog because I was very ill and was in the ICU. However, I don’t know anything about it as I was unconscious. At first, when I came back, I didn’t know who I was anymore and lost my memories. Luckily, those are coming back.
It’s still a rollercoaster and I need a lot of rest and care but at least and Thank God! I’m able to write again.
The Unfinished Story
Life was eclipsed
darkness covered the eyes
-I can’t even see
myself no more,
memories buried
mind, body gone
into nowhere land,
But then destiny,
the unfinished story
of you and me
sends me its sun
