Get up warrior,
coos the dove
on the roof
near the window
Do not focus
on what is absent
Focus on what you have
in your heart
’cause there
you have love
you have him
you have you
you have the whole world

Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
A Journey Of True Soul Love
Get up warrior,
coos the dove
on the roof
near the window
Do not focus
on what is absent
Focus on what you have
in your heart
’cause there
you have love
you have him
you have you
you have the whole world

After a night of little sleep
the dawn comes with
aches and rain
and doesn’t beat the dark
but in the end love will
make the sun return
©RoseGirl2020
When ‘I miss you’
makes a lot of noise
at night
and keeps me out of
my sleep
I cover my ears,
cover my thoughts
to listen to the voice
of love inside
and let it fill me
with ‘I believe’
©RoseGirl2020
Once when they first met,
she caught a dream in his eyes
A dream that never leaves her
even when she woke up
and saw truth all around her
then, she started
to dream the dream
the most

I drive on an endless road
all the way from the east
to the west
through the vastness and beauty
of the countryside
until the ugliness of the port
of Rotterdam appears
And I watch the wiper wipe rain
from the windshield
as my eyelids blink away tears
from my eyes
I let love wipe worries and fears
from my heart
so I have again clear view
of you and me
©RoseGirl2020
And with the ink
of my heart
I write you
a love letter
that, by a blown kiss
instantly travels far
yet stays so close
Its words invisible
to the eye
but readable
to your heart
©RoseGirl2020
The moments that I feel
joy, love, anger or fear
The moments that I feel
sad, relieved or lonely
I go to my heart
to connect with you
as you are part of me,
part of my heart
every feeling
I share it with you
©RoseGirl2020
As life on earth feels
so dark and painful
and an ocean has split
the land of lovers in two
the dawn draws a path
of light in the sky
to walk all the way
from me to you
©RoseGirl2020
Even if on this long journey
we cannot see the path ahead
and at times it’s deep dark
and freezing cold
Let’s trust our feet,
our hearts, our inner voice,
our love,
our longing for each other
the warmth, and power
of the fire awaiting us
and that with every step
we come closer to home
©RoseGirl2020
The first words thought
the first words spoken,
whispered, when I open my eyes
in the morning, set the tone
and then the day may be grey
the mind may be lost
aches and worries may make
a lot of distracting noise
feet may not even want to get up
in the end it will all dance
to the leading melody
of those first words ‘I love you’
rolled out as the sunny path to go
©RoseGirl2020
When I pull back
the heavy curtains
of headaches and
worrying thoughts
then behind them
the real scene is
you and me
and nothing but love
©RoseGirl2020
At night I go outside
to see the stars
as if I see you
in the vastness and beauty
of the universe
And I whisper your name
feel our hearts calling out
for each other
across time and space
and hear the stars
echo our love
as celestial music
©RoseGirl2020
To miss everything
to miss the whole world
to miss a part of me
and at the same time
missing nothing at all
and having everything,
is when I miss you
and feel you within
©RoseGirl2020
And one day my heart
will stop beating
My feet will stop dancing
I will shed my skin
and will take my last breath
but what will keep going,
moving, expanding
is, I’ll keep loving you
with my soul still intact
©RoseGirl2020
When the darkness outside
is suffocating
and I don’t even know
if the wetness I sense
on my cheeks is
my tears or
it is the rain
and I seek a light
on the near horizon
but all I see are stars
light years away
their light in fact,
long gone
Then I feel you,
feel our hearts connect
and light up
and then
I can
breathe again
©RoseGirl2020
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
©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
