Sky Gazers

Do you look up at the sky
there where you are
to see the vastness
of all that is
of all that could be
to see that,
somewhere out there,
high up,
our gazes entwine?

Frozen

When I’d like to say to you so much
but words keep frozen inside
and the only thing that flows are tears,
that are watering my eyes
then feel my unsaid words,
taste them, make them melt on my lips
and in your arms

©RoseGirl2022

Use Your Mind Wisely

If the mind can imagine
the worst, the loneliest,
the scariest things

then it can also imagine
a dance floor
of endless possibilities
where we dance
love and beauty
together

The Sound Of Your Heart

There you are
behind bars
in your own mind
But don’t listen
to the sound
of your thoughts
that scream, sadden,
seduce and imprison you
that say that you can’t
that you should have done
or shouldn’t do
Instead, listen
to the sound
of your heart
and hear its sweet melodies
and dance to it
dance to break free
from all that isn’t you

©RoseGirl2022

Pure White

When words don’t easily flow
it’s because the pure white
of a blank page with infinite
possibilities,
describes best what love is

©RoseGirl2022

Heart Sighs

Silently I breathe
love letters
into the night
waves of air,
soft sighs
that blow stars
into your world
so you can read
what love has
in store for you

©RoseGirl2022

Unshield Me

Unclothe me of my thoughts
Unveil me of untruth
Unshield me
until I am
but me
Until I’m open
to receive
you

©RoseGirl2022

Tonight

Love shines full
like the moon tonight
as ‘I miss you’
howls like the wind

©RoseGirl2022

Catching Your Heart

Somewhere far
you sing your heart out
and I catch it here
under a sky full of stars
and put it safely
in mine

©RoseGirl2022

I Watch It

In the open space of me
Illness rides its horses
aches wave through the body
thoughts move back and forth
and I watch it all
as love is holding me

©RoseGirl2022

To Share

I don’t have words
to share
with you tonight
I only have
sweet soft dreams

©RoseGirl2022

How Fast

Do you know
how fast a kiss
can go
when it is blown
by the winds
of the heart
When it is
escorted by thoughts
when it has
an ocean to cross
and it wants to reach you
now

©RoseGirl2022

Into Your Arms

And I pull aside
the veil
of time and distance,
the curtain
of this play of life
and step right
into your arms

©RoseGirl2022

Butterflies

Inside the pain
in the head
thoughts of you
fly around
like butterflies,
softly stroke
with the lightness
of their wings,
the heaviness
and bring
(e)motion

©RoseGirl2022

In Between

There’s a poem
that begins
with ‘I’
and ends
with ‘you’
and holds
so much
love
in between

©RoseGirl2022

Heart Healing

You are still there
in the midst of the depths
of my chest
in the eye of a storm
in the heart
feeling me
freeing me
as you kiss and heal
my heart from within

©RoseGirl2022

Flock Of Words

Words fly
across the ocean
and together
form a poem
for you to read
in the sky
of your heart

©RoseGirl2022

In Resonance

How powerful the moon
as she breaks through
nightly clouds
and shines in resonance
with the thought of you

©RoseGirl2022

Your Hellos

If tears run down my cheeks
from all the goodbyes,
kiss your hellos onto them
so they know
every goodbye, in fact,
only means
see you soon
and hello in the heart
where love doesn’t leave

©RoseGirl2022

Gazing

Your eyes still gaze
through all layers
of time and space
into mine

©RoseGirl2022

In The Mind

When the night is in the mind,
the heart leaves a light on

©RoseGirl2022

Through The Clouds

On a foggy day,
the robin sings a song
to keep on and on
and to just walk
through the clouds
with you by my side
with all my fears,
my messed-ups
my sad thoughts
and be
perfectly
alright

©RoseGirl2022

Behind The Veil

‘Sun, why did you abandon
my sky tonight
and make everything so dark
and lonely
will you ever come back?’

‘I’m still there behind the veil
of what you can’t see
but feel
and light up the moon
for you instead
to dream with you,
to hold you
so do not fear,
do not hope but know
I will come back
to kiss you good morning’

©RoseGirl2022

Where Hands Are Held

The sun tries to save me
from the grey skies in my head
Demons block the light
and cast shadows
Hands seek you
Eyes wander
and wonder
where you are
until a fast beating heart
finds you within

where eyes see
and hands
are still held

©RoseGirl2022

Where There Is Love, There Can Be No Fear

Fears scream and creep
under the skin
Skin, that is defenseless
as it isn’t protected
by your touch
but the heart has a weapon
as it loves
you
Love, that doesn’t separate
that doesn’t say
goodbye
but that reaches further
than thoughts, than skin,
than the eye
and that always finds a way
from me to you

©RoseGirl2022

As Above, So Below

Twinkle twinkle little star
I know who you are
It’s Venus in the sky tonight
aligned between sun and earth
Love and beauty shine bright
as she never ventures far
from the sun
connecting my eyes to yours,
the heavens to earth

©RoseGirl2022

Close To Me

Are you close to me
even if my skin cannot sense you
even if my own thoughts make you
so far away from me

Are you close to me if the night
shows nothing but darkness
if my calling isn’t answered
if the dawn seems far

Are you close to me if my arm
is too short to reach for you
if every mile seems an eternity
and my eyes cannot find the stars

Are you close
even if I’m far
from me

©RoseGirl2022

Under The Same Sky

I walk out at night
to look up at the stars
and have no wall, no roof
no thought, no fear between us
but to feel me with you
under the same sky

©RoseGirl2022

School Of Life

If everything is a practice
even the hardships, fears
disturbing thoughts, sickness
all the encounters,
then I practice love

©RoseGirl2022

Healing: Beyond The Words

Rewrite my stories,
the past, my fears
and write with your finger
from head to toe
all your hopes
and dreams for us
on me
let me be drenched
in each word,
rest in the spaces
in between,
caressed by each line
so I can fly
beyond the words

©RoseGirl2022

Healing: Waterfalls

Find healing in my heart
where love streams
like endless waterfalls
to wash the world off us
and to bring us back
in our purest form

©RoseGirl2022

Healing: Touching

I whisper softly
poems in your ear
and touch your face
your whole body,
your heart
to caress you
to heal you
from all that isn’t love

©RoseGirl2022

Outside Of Time

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

©RoseGirl2021

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

©RoseGirl2021

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

©RoseGirl2021

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

©RoseGirl2021

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

©RoseGirl2021

*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

©RoseGirl2021

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

©RoseGirl2021

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

©RoseGirl2021

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

©RoseGirl2021

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

In The Wildest Dreams

My thoughts seek
and find you
in the wildest dreams
