I think of you and pull
a sweet dream of love
over my head
like a blanket
so I don’t need to face
my harsh nightmares

Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
I think of you and pull
a sweet dream of love
over my head
like a blanket
so I don’t need to face
my harsh nightmares

Where is my place
She asks the birds,
she asks the bees
the moon, the stars,
the cats, the trees
Am I just a lonesome
wanderer
Or do I have a place
in the universal choir
Does my voice matter
Can I just be me
singing my tune
sovereign, accepted
and be at ease,
breathe, relax where I am
without being attacked
because the choir will
honour and protect me
©RoseGirl2020
If the earth shakes underneath us
and water makes big waves
hold tight to your heart
I hold tight to mine
as we are safe in love
©RoseGirl2020
Full moon, can you get a glimpse
of my beloved
Can you see him from high above?
He, whose heart shines so brightly
on the other side of the world
A heart that matches
perfectly with mine
Can you glow your light upon him
in dark times
and let him know, that he is loved
©RoseGirl2020
And if I could
I would give you the sun
to shine always on your life
If I could,
I would give you the world
as that’s what you mean to me
If I could,
I would give you shooting stars
to make all your wishes come true
If I could
But here I am
bare feet, empty hands
Though with a full heart
I can only give you love
and then maybe,
that’s a good gift,
the best gift to give
©RoseGirl2020
I breathe out
hot vapor clouds
of loving you
into the freezing cold
and make
a steamy poem
with air
©RoseGirl2020
As I walk through this town
I follow our footsteps
the imprint we left here
in each other’s heart,
one night
your eyes that wrote
poetry into mine
your hand that touched
and lightly stroke my arm
We spoke a language
deeper than our words
a language we still speak
And although I lived
in hell back then
that night I was in heaven
with you
©RoseGirl2020
On this Sunday morning
as king Winter has arrived
too early
and breathes his breath of
stillness, cold and death
I wear our love
like a comfortable coat
that keeps me warm
and alive inside
©RoseGirl2020
To let myself fall
off a cliff
with arms wide open
into the unknown
and to let go
of any grip
of ‘why’ ‘when’,
‘how’ and ‘what if’
but to fully trust
that my heart and yours
will catch me
and that I will land softly
entwined with you
immersed in
the waters of love
©RoseGirl2020
The more
I am
with me
The more
I am
with you
©RoseGirl2020
There’s much more
than the pain
I am feeling
Beyond the migraine
pounding in my head
there’s you, there’s me
there’s love
©RoseGirl2020
When the morning starts
dark and foggy
I close the curtains again
and dive deep into
the feel and thought of you
to brightly open my heart
©RoseGirl2020
Amidst fears,
destruction and chaos
Among broken pieces
In dark nights,
deep pain, bleeding tears
Naked
With everything
and nothing
to lose
In the deepest love
That’s where I build my faith
©RoseGirl2020
She has a lot to be thankful for
She thanks mother earth
for carrying her feet,
for feeding and grounding her
She thanks father sky
for the roof above her,
for letting her walk
with her head in the clouds
and reach for the stars
She thanks the angels, the universe
for surrounding and supporting her
and filling her with light
She thanks love
for nourishing, guiding her
as the fire within,
the eternal flame
She thanks her beloved
for always being
within and with her
in soul, in heart and in energy
and for walking this journey
by her side
©RoseGirl2020
When I look at a picture of you
as a child
and see the purity, the playfulness
the innocent smile and
the twinkle in your eyes
I realise that this image of innocence
of the true you, I always see
when I look at you, think of you
feel you, imagine you
and see your heart
©RoseGirl2020
It’s when I want to write you
but I cannot write you
that I miss you the most
It’s when the distance,
the gap between us
can’t be bridged by words
©RoseGirl2020
Carrier pigeon, please
brave the weather,
cross the ocean
to bring all my love letters
to my man
and lay them gently
on his heart
©RoseGirl2020
Two waterfalls stream down
from a green planted rock
to merge together as one
into a river of sparkling water
of living, eternal love
©RoseGirl2020
If my voice is silenced
and I cannot tell you
what I’d like to say
then my heart speaks
even louder
in the language of love
©RoseGirl2020
Whatever happened before
we have many new moons
to come,
countless moons ahead
to love each other
©RoseGirl2020
She takes the stage
like a bird that takes the sky
Once her feet have left
lower ground
she knows, there’s no
going back
With the strong wind of love
behind her wings
she can only rise and fly
to let stars and moon touch her
the world surround her
One with all that is
One with her beloved
©RoseGirl2020
Wherever I am
I always keep
my eyes
on the moon,
the light in the dark
as if it is you
©RoseGirl2020
If I had a lot of money
I would build you a palace
But instead,
I build you a fairy palace
to live and to dream in
with love and with words
©RoseGirl2020
Whatever the ocean does
it can’t truly harm us
for our love
isn’t built on sand
it’s built on rock
©RoseGirl2020
How could we ever be separated
as we are forever present
within each other’s heart
©RoseGirl2020
When she hears him,
her fairy man, sing
like a nightingale
under the stars and moon
in the middle of the dark forest
where the Beautywood is
and where the fire burns high,
his joy, his sounds, his enchanting
songs, his heart
take her up into the heavens
and she knows, her place
was never in the shadows
but her feet, her heart were made
to dance, love and hope
along with him
©RoseGirl2020
And in the middle of the dark forest
there is a spot called the beautywood
where the light shines, the fire burns
where they sing, dance, play music
together well into the night
where laughter fills the air
and happiness magically sparkles
where everything looks beautiful
and perfect
And she,
she watches it from a distance
in the dark behind some trees
She is not from the beautywood,
she came from far
with just one little lantern
the light in her heart
to guide her way
She is a wanderer
with a desire for home
For long she thought,
she was a lost soul
in the dark of the forest
And now she watches the beautywood,
hears the enchanting sounds
With pain in her heart
she thinks, it’s out of her reach
it isn’t for her
she is just an outsider, left out
excluded, unwelcome
she doesn’t belong
And in the night she cries
to the moon like a lonely wolf
The moon carefully strokes
her hair with her soft
glimmering light and smiles:
‘Oh dear, do not fear the beautywood
Do not block your own way
Desire attracted you
The light in your heart led you
Love, beauty and happiness
will never exclude’
©RoseGirl2020
After a night of little sleep
a fog in my head in the morning
makes everything look blurry
and doubtful
yet in my heart my vision of you
is clear
©RoseGirl2020
With the super new moon
in the sky tonight
that I cannot see
but I know it’s there
I hold the vision of love,
the vision of us
I hold you in my heart
And then,
what is invisible
is strongly felt
©RoseGirl2020
May rain grow us
May storms move us forward
May cold make us generate
more warmth from the heart
May walls make us go up and fly
and nightmares make us dream
May every fear, every flaw,
every obstacle make us love
each other even more
©RoseGirl2020
On an endless road,
a long drive through
vast Dutch landscape
the sun shines on my face
and for a moment
burns away the painful
‘I miss you’s’
I have all the time,
I have all the space
to think and dream
endlessly of you
©RoseGirl2020
A merciless migraine
pierces my forehead
And ‘I miss you’s’
pierce my heart
Yet from my wounds
I bleed love
©RoseGirl2020
There is no greater,
no deeper gap
to fall in than
to miss you
©RoseGirl2020
Can you turn a light on, my love
’cause my night is darker than dark
Can you blow a kiss from afar
that will make a star above me
©RoseGirl2020
I could say a lot now
Screaming my hurt
to the heavens
Letting my fears, my tears,
my inner turmoil
rage like a hurricane
But instead,
the only thing
that comes out
is a whispered
‘I love you’
©RoseGirl2020
Self-doubts make her fall deep
into the burning fires
in the hell of her mind
Maybe she has never been an angel
but is always just a devil
in disguise
And the only thing that can make
her experience heaven
is her love for him
©RoseGirl2020
When I cannot look back
as the past hurts too much
and I cannot look forward
as my mind makes me fear
the future
I look up to the sky to see
sun and moon
he and she
in the eternal now
in a perfect dance,
in perfect harmony
always
©RoseGirl2020
Do you look at the stars at night
and do you wish for me
like I wish for you
Do you see our wishes entwine
in emerald light
Do you see shooting stars
do their work
with our heart’s desires
to bring the magic of the heavens
back to earth
©RoseGirl2020
When I hold my breath
and feel so much lost
in my fears, in the dark
please find me
and bring me back
to the light of your heart
Shine me to my own
so I will feel again
love is, you are
never further away
than the next breath
©RoseGirl2020
You sit in a field
Man with a guitar
a feather in his hat
A cloud in heart shape
drifts by
And you look
to your left
As if you hear
the uplifting sounds
of the future
What do you see, my man?
Please keep dreaming
Dream for us both
as big as you can
Dream us into reality
©RoseGirl2020
If you grow like a tree
in self-confidence,
hope and strength
reaching your branches out
to your dreams
I’ll be the soil in which
your roots can sink deep
that nourishes
and always supports you
I’ll be the forest,
a safe magical place
that always holds space,
holds the love for you
©RoseGirl2020
As I go through my day,
move through deep
fears, tears and pain,
and stumble and fall
many times,
I just continue to
bravely love
the hell out of you
©RoseGirl2020
My love, please dance with me
to move away all the rain
that falls within and keeps
dropping from my heart and eyes
We’ll do a sun dance together
to bring in the new,
to take us home to ourselves,
to each other
and invoke the sun
©RoseGirl2020
I can stand on my own feet
but my love,
please hold my hand
and walk with me
as I try to find
my way out of the dark
back to the light
©RoseGirl2020
If I look back at my life
and feel bad about myself
as I only see
all the mistakes I made
all the things I’ve done wrong
all my flawed ways
then at least,
I’ve done one good deed:
to wholeheartedly
and purely love you
©RoseGirl2020
