And if you can’t see me near
if you can’t hear me, can’t read me
then I’m even closer,
find me within

Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
And if you can’t see me near
if you can’t hear me, can’t read me
then I’m even closer,
find me within
©RoseGirl2022
You say that all is well
even if you’re not near
but my skin doesn’t seem
to know the difference
between untouched
and gone for good
Can you teach it
to hold your embrace
in its cells
so it can already feel
your return
©RoseGirl2022
It’s gonna be alright
The sun is shining
Birds are singing
Nothing is lost
All will be found
But why then
do tears keep falling
from my eyes
©RoseGirl2022
And you leave and leave and leave
You leave places, countries
and people
And I didn’t even have a chance
to say goodbye
is it because whatever you leave
in fact, you never leave me
©RoseGirl2022
I wish I could keep you here
in my land
the idea of being near
even if my hands
cannot touch you
But does it matter
where you are
if matter doesn’t matter
if love doesn’t stop
at the borders of sight
at the borders of land
not even at the borders
of our heart
©RoseGirl2022
Darkness all around us
like a heavy blanket
no moon, no sun
And it creeps into
bones and thoughts
until we realise
that we are the ones
that bring in the light
©RoseGirl2022
Did you return to the place
where our eyes once
found each other
where Van Gogh was born
and where we gave birth
to love art one night in July
Did you see the emptiness
this time
Or did you still see me
looking at you from inside
with eyes that want to be freed
from the past
and want to find yours once again
in the now
©RoseGirl2022
Don’t try to be in tune
with the world
But be in tune with love
so the world will get in tune
with you
©RoseGirl2022
Today is not any day
or just a day
Today is a special day
It is your day
A day to celebrate
how far you’ve come
what you bring
to the world
your uniqueness
your oneness
your everything,
something and nothing
your expression of life,
of the divine
what you came here to do
what you will do
You doing you being you
practicing, learning,
struggling, surviving
overcoming,
dreaming, living
and thriving
A day to celebrate
love
to celebrate
you
©RoseGirl2022
Do you have our words
for I’ve lost them
Speak them, sing them
let them reverberate
through the air
I will echo them
by silent kisses,
silent hope
©RoseGirl2022
There’s a place
where music is,
where the light is
where they all are
where you are
and I can’t go there
I can’t go in
It’s dark where I am
and I had wished
But then I hear music
from within
and I know
it is,
it has already been
your heart
that has let me in
©RoseGirl2022
Distance made my eyes
lose sight of you
Time made me lose
unmade memories
But love never let me
lose you
©RoseGirl2022
Now we are under the same sky
Do you still look up
Do you see
that the moon embraces us
finding us with her light
Apart, we have the same earth
beneath our feet
Moon and earth, they both
seem to know the way
©RoseGirl2022
Let’s be without words
and save them for later
for we have time
we have eternity
Let’s be in an embrace
soft and firm
and sink
in wordless feeling
in a wordless us
©RoseGirl2022
Is it the eyes, the skin
that deceive?
Can you truly miss
something, someone
that is so close, so dear
if loving him
keeps him present
in the heart
©RoseGirl2022
They both have a rose
She wears it in her hair
he on his chest
to show that they are
of the same love
©RoseGirl2022
The sun brings solace
after days of rain
on a Sunday morning
and I’m now only realising
how much I’ve missed you
©RoseGirl2022
Sing tonight
as full, as whole as you can
Sing through the rain
through our thoughts
and let your voice
pick me up
from the past
to side by side
©RoseGirl2022
Could I be anywhere
other than
where you are
Could you be anywhere
other than
where I am
for what’s within
can’t be apart
©RoseGirl2022
A snowflake flutters
from the sky on you
and kisses your cheek
As it melts
on its longing warmth,
your pores take it in
What if the snowflake is me
©RoseGirl2022
Snow on Spring blossoms
Winter cold, grey skies
in April
is like having you close
and missing you
at the same time
©RoseGirl2022
You crossed
the borders of time
You crossed the sky,
crossed my skin
and now you’re here
to prove to me
that distance
doesn’t exist
©RoseGirl2022
Dark is the night
that beholds pain
luckily, love is
with me
©RoseGirl2022
Hands run
over your body
and touch beyond thought
deep beneath skin
fingers that unravel
to sense truth
to feel you
©RoseGirl2022
Farewell to the future
and the past
For where love expands,
it is always now
©RoseGirl2022
Love is the falcon
soaring majestically
in the sky
chasing away
seagull thoughts
©RoseGirl2022
Free birds like us
don’t have oceans
and land
between them
but together they have
one big sky
©RoseGirl2022
Love is the window
of the heart
that has a view
of you
©RoseGirl2022
I keep my pen still
to write poetry
to you
in a thousand
silent ways
©RoseGirl2022
Did you know that
stars were made
just to light up
an airway
from me to you
©RoseGirl2022
The world is spinning so fast
Time is running in front of me
My feet don’t go yet so far
and I can’t keep up with your pace
can we go in slow motion
slow but steady
slow hands, fingers
slow touch
as we slow down the world
©RoseGirl2022
If the open fields of life beckon
and you dance towards Spring,
don’t leave me behind
in the dark woods of the mind
where I’m lost
between motionless thoughts
but take my hand
as I leave behind the dark woods
©RoseGirl2022
Night and day
make love at dawn
Stars in the sky
Glowing, vibrating red
on the horizon
that almost bursts
into the rising sun
She and he
just one more kiss
as they merge
and balance
Tonight at sunset
they will meet again
©RoseGirl2022
Let’s sing
our sad songs
and let them rain
on our flowers
so they can grow
more love
©RoseGirl2022
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?
©RoseGirl2022
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
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
©RoseGirl2022
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
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
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
Unclothe me of my thoughts
Unveil me of untruth
Unshield me
until I am
but me
Until I’m open
to receive
you
©RoseGirl2022
Love shines full
like the moon tonight
as ‘I miss you’
howls like the wind
©RoseGirl2022
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
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
I don’t have words
to share
with you tonight
I only have
sweet soft dreams
©RoseGirl2022
