I like to have a rhythm
to start every day
in the same way
so my morning ritual is
that I think of you,
feel you, send you love,
think of you again
and actually,
that’s my afternoon
and night ritual too

Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
I like to have a rhythm
to start every day
in the same way
so my morning ritual is
that I think of you,
feel you, send you love,
think of you again
and actually,
that’s my afternoon
and night ritual too

Eyes on the ground
see endless waters,
separate lands
borders, high mountains,
fences and walls
whereas the eyes of a bird
that soars free in the sky,
see two hearts
on the same earth
under the same moon and sun
eternally connected
with nothing between them
but love
©RoseGirl2021
You are my greatest teacher
as you teach me
the purest, the truest love

When head and body feel bruised
after a night on the battlefield
with sharp, attacking migraines
it’s so good to come back to life again
wrapped in so many comfortable
thoughts of you

We ride our horses through the night
in dark woods, through valleys
and mountains
Our eyes may not see the dawn yet
They may not see the horizon
I may fall off my horse
Then, reach out your hand
But stay firmly in
your own saddle
to help me through
For we have the promise
of sunrises in our heart
and as long as we move forward,
dance in cadence
one with stars,
one with love and with each other
horses will know the path
©RoseGirl2021
I’m caged
inside my head
held hostage
by dark thoughts
and the only way
to break free
is to escape with you
through the heart
©RoseGirl2021
When I feel insignificant
I find importance
in loving you
and through that
I see the importance of me
©RoseGirl2021
Your biggest fan
is not the one
who shouts it
from all rooftops
who shares, likes,
comments, tags you
and boosts your ego
but the one who silently
always has your back
and soothes your soul
©RoseGirl2021
When the door is closed
and I am alone
on the other side
can you keep
your heart open
so I can still
be part of it
through you
as I look
through your window
©RoseGirl2021
You came to kiss me in my dream
your lips so soft on mine
and we opened up to one another
tongues that danced together
to a fiery song
It’s been a long time, you said
right before all words,
all time, all pain dissolved
before we melted in each other
and there was nothing left but
a kiss
like an imprint, a promise
that I could take with me
when I woke up
in a nightmare
of all those miles of ocean,
of all those ungiven kisses
between us
©RoseGirl2021
What should I write
if tears drip
from my pen
then I’ll just write us
a river of love
©RoseGirl2021
And if the heart
hurts too much
we just hold
our head up
in the clouds
to keep track
of our dreams
©RoseGirl2021
The moon looks
watery tonight
as if the tears
in her eyes
give her blurred sight
as she misses
her beloved, the sun
©RoseGirl2021
On Team Me
there’s always
you and me
©RoseGirl2021
And as she lies
on her bed
enduring aches,
straight through
the thunder
she hears his
soft call,
his hopeful song
and then
with tender touch
their love puts a hand
on her forehead
and heart
to soothe her
till the storm passes
©RoseGirl2021
She’s standing outside
in front of a closed door
She’s alone with only
the birds to talk to
from the other side she hears
laughters and melodies
and she would like to join
the team of joy
she would like to share in
creation and togetherness
She could open the door
with a few coins
but is she welcome
she fears, she hesitates
and as she watches the birds
fly freely over walls,
taking the whole sky,
she wonders, if the closed
door is real
or did her mind create it
maybe if she opens up
more to love
the door will open for her
by itself?

Waves of pain
corner me
and smash hard
and merciless
on my land
but within
the raging sea
I have
a love island
where I seek
higher ground
with you
©RoseGirl2021
In Amsterdam
we’ve never been together
We left our imprints,
our separate traces
of footsteps here
at different times
but in the now,
that does not distinguish
between past and past
it looks like our footsteps
that light up in front of me
once met each other
here in this town
©RoseGirl2021
Whatever crowd I’m in,
whenever the world is
chaotic and overwhelming
I find a private,
quiet moment
as I go within
and connect with you
©RoseGirl2021
At night the earth
lights up in white
snow makes me stand
on a blank paper
Heaven watches me
write a poem for you
on the white floor
The heat of the love
makes my finger burn
and the paper melts
©RoseGirl2021
There’s so much to discover
here in this moment
when I immerse myself
in feeling you
and breathe
deeper and deeper
in body, in heart and in soul
into the depth
of our love
©RoseGirl2021
It’s a cold, cold day
from the grey sky
snowflakes fall
in my face
while in my heart
I cuddle up
with you
in warm love
©RoseGirl2021
Forest creatures gather
around the wildwood flower
as they watch her tears glimmer
in the light of the moon
‘Oh dear wildwood flower
why do you look so sad?
After all that you have given –
you gave the earth
your dancing footsteps,
the birds your songs
your troubadour your heart
you gave love your poems
you gave and you gave
and now it’s finally time
to happily receive
The waters, the air are flowing
towards you to bring your troubadour,
to bring good news
Is it almost too good to believe
and do you doubt that
it is really meant for you
that not only the woods, the birds,
that your troubadour matters
but that you matter too
to be loved, to be respected,
to be cared for, to be cherished?
Dry your tears and get up
you don’t need to get lost,
to wait or to search anymore,
But now, it’s time to be found
by your troubadour
by happiness
by love’
©RoseGirl2021
And I dream
as from across the ocean
your voice sings
a blanket for me
woven with words
of tender love
to lie under
in this cold night
I dream
that one day
not only your voice
and your heart
but also your eyes,
your lips, your hands
will find their way to me
to be my blanket
and entwined we will lie here
under a shower of
shooting stars
©RoseGirl2021
Early in the morning
when it’s still
dark outside
and I meditate
with you in
heart and mind
and sit in silence,
I’m kissed
by sweet love
©RoseGirl2021
Be in your longing for me
I’ll be in my longing for you
and as the flames in our hearts
burn fiercely towards each other
we feel how much we’re belonging
together
©RoseGirl2021
Look up, my love
if you see those seagulls and pigeons soar
do you wish to fly just like me
Then close your eyes
and we imagine we hold hands,
we spread our wings and go up
We touch the clouds and pluck the stars
Nothing, no mountain, no sea
is in our way
not even gravity that can pull us down
Once we fly free in our universe of love
©RoseGirl2021
A winter sun shines on my face
as I bicycle through the cold
Red, warm cheeks
Legs peddle a rhythm of a song
only you and me can hear
And although on my left
I see dark clouds gather
above the river,
soon rain may start to fall
and I miss you more
than I can say,
this song in my heart,
a song about
our endless summer,
will be my destined sun
that no cloud can take away
©RoseGirl2021
I lie on my bed
I breathe
and think of you
on the other shore
in a land far away
I breathe in, breathe out
As I rise and fall,
as I wave
on my breath
I imagine to be the ocean
that pulls the two
separate continents together
so their shores can kiss
©RoseGirl2021
Go to sleep, my dear
The moon will shine upon you
guide you through the dark
She will hold you in her arms
stroke your skin
with her tender, loving light
kiss a poem on your lips
and glow you
into the sweetest dreams
like she is me
©RoseGirl2021
And I move my body
move my hips, my arms,
my feet, my legs
I let my longing -me desiring you,
let love dance
so all those stuck thoughts,
stuck ‘I miss you’s’
stuck aches
stuck words
find poetry again
©RoseGirl2021
I searched in vain for happiness
everywhere
within and without
But in the end it was happiness
that found me
as your eyes found mine
our hearts connected
and beat synchronized as one
©RoseGirl2021
Whatever may fall apart
or may happen
we always have each other
we always have love
©RoseGirl2021
While heavy pain
in the head
makes muscles
and thoughts
contract
love softens
and makes the heart
expand
©RoseGirl2021
When I miss you
I go outside to look at the stars
and then I always feel
you close again
for if those ancient lights can cross
such an immeasurable distance
to reach me
then our ancient love
can cross all those miles too
©RoseGirl2021
Whatever cold
and dark night
you may
wander through
I keep the door
of my heart
wide open
and inside
the fire burns
fiercely and high
so you can feel
your way home
©RoseGirl2021
As I’m waking up
early in the morning
and outside it’s still dark
the thought of you rises
within me like the sun
to herald a new day
while my heart starts
to sing its song like a bird
©RoseGirl2021
If it’s hard to write
as words jump
up and down
and run everywhere
in a head that aches
I let the stars write
a poem for you
so just look up tonight
to read my verse
©RoseGirl2021
When there’s so much to think
so much ache in the head
so much to be pulled into
to look back at
or to move to
let’s step out of the carousel
and be still
hold me
and let’s just feel
the love
©RoseGirl2021
Whatever turmoil
may be going on
inside or outside of us
I find tranquillity by
connecting to you
connecting to love
As we always have
a special place
to meet each other
inside our heart
©RoseGirl2021
As our love
embraces,
goes beyond
and is bigger than
this world
then even if people
may have
opposite beliefs
and opinions
by loving you
I learn to love
the whole world
©RoseGirl2021
Sometimes the past comes
like a mammoth in my now
Large and heavy it marches
No way I can escape it
Until I realize, mammoths
died long time ago
And then, with a smile
I just sit and watch
the mammoth pass
as I hear the sound of birds
and see the blue skies
in my peaceful
present moment
©RoseGirl2021
Sweet words spoken
without sound
cross night and day
cross the ocean
as they find their echo
in the beloved’s heart
©RoseGirl2021
The harder I try
not to miss you
and to keep it
out of my words
the harder it sneaks in
through the backdoor
to occupy this poem
©RoseGirl2021
If it all feels so broken
and you wonder
how it can ever be fixed
know that even if things
broke into a thousand pieces
love is always whole
©RoseGirl2021
