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

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

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

May we meet in a kiss
from heart to heart
in a thought
from mind to mind

May we meet
in a dream, a poem
in a song, in a sigh

May we meet in longing
in feeling, in desire

May we meet
skin to skin,
word to word
me to you, you to me
eye to eye

May we meet
again and again
for in fact,
we never leave
each other

©RoseGirl2020

The strength
is not in the worries,
not in the doubts,
nor in the fears
But the power is
in our connection,
in the love

©RoseGirl2020

As I drive home
in the comfortable warmth of my car
I see the sun set on the horizon
A big red fiery ball
that paints the sky in a palette
of tones
Elongated clouds that seem
to dance
Birds fly around a church tower
Trees stand majestically stretched out

And then it’s the thought of you
that is the grand finale
of this sunset symphony

©RoseGirl2020

All that I miss
All that I seek
is already within
where love is
and where I always
have access to you
from the heart

©RoseGirl2020

‘I miss you’ she whispers
into the dark
to the one she holds so dear
hoping that the night
will catch her words
and will fill the void
with loving dreams

©RoseGirl2020

There are a lot of things
my ego doesn’t understand
yet against all odds
my soul asks me to hope
and to trust

©RoseGirl2020

In the early morning I catch
a last glimpse of the moon
and send up all my love
so as she appears on your side
of the world now
and you look up, like me,
she can glow it to you

©RoseGirl2020

At night when my mind is in
overdrive and produces
its aches and fears
Lonely thoughts run
in all directions
too unfocused, too anxious
to make a poem that writes
me into peace,
I find solace in the deep
intimacy of my heart
where I commune with you
as it always poetically beats
for two

©RoseGirl2020

When my poems get too sad
and drown in their tears
I put on the music of love
to let them dance
to the tune of hope again

©RoseGirl2020

I watch leaves float
wildly around me
as I let the fierceness
of the Autumn wind
pull me out of worries
and fears,
out of self doubts
and headaches
and let it pull me into
the peace of
just loving you

©RoseGirl2020

The moment I start to doubt
everything and everyone,
including myself
I uncover the only thing
that is sure:
the love I have for you
in my heart

©RoseGirl2020

At night when I lie awake
in my bed
my mind spins a nightmare
with threads of worries
and fears
whereas my heart,
with threads of love,
spins a beautiful dream

©RoseGirl2020

A Sunday without sun
is like a day
without glamour
like words
without poetry
it’s like me missing you

©RoseGirl2020

Sometimes,
I mute the world,
disconnect from the earth
and put myself
on airplane mode
to fly away with you
in profound silence

©RoseGirl2020

I lay my head to rest
on the thought of you
and let its softness
kiss me goodnight

©RoseGirl2020

Keep dancing, my love
even if our feet are tired
our hearts never are
even if the world around us
collapses
we build up
even if others cannot hear
our music
as long as we can, we dance
love into existence

©RoseGirl2020

I was awake in my dream
last night
as I found myself with you
and then fell asleep
in the reality of the morning
as I saw my bed empty

©RoseGirl2020

If you have said
what must be said
all that is left
to be thoroughly felt
is love

©RoseGirl2020

Every thought of you
Every word of this poem
will be a step of a ladder
that brings us up
so we can meet
feel, embrace
each other
when we’re above
time and space

©RoseGirl2020

A flock of white birds escapes
from within
where they once flew
in the vast sky of imagination
and made airwaves in
heart and body
moving invisibly between
one lover and the other
And now they are set free
into the light
seen, heard and sensed
by the world
to bring hope, to bring love
to bring peace

©RoseGirl2020

Raindrops dance
on the skylight
as if, amidst
all the purging,
they still found
a song
of joyful love

©RoseGirl2020

When the wind howls
around the house
how much I miss you
and finds every crack
to come in
with its noise and turmoil
I play the symphony
of you and me
always together
always here
and let the wind
howl along with it
in the background

©RoseGirl2020

And when I hear and see
the day awaken
in many sounds and
rising light,
I close my eyes again
to feel two hearts
connect
for you and me,
we still have
a lot to dream

©RoseGirl2020

Sacred is the pen
that seems to dance
by itself
Moved by love
while it writes
you a poem

©RoseGirl2020

And if your mind keeps
you busy
thoughts restlessly seek
so many things that draw
your attention
you see all the things
that you don’t like
and there you are
in a wild and chaotic world
then stop for a moment
feel
to find my love

©RoseGirl2020

I could focus on the clouds,
the heavy rainfall,
the lightning that tries
to strike me
the mountains that seem to arise
everywhere
barking dogs that attack
the leaves in the wind
that leave behind empty trees
flowers that look dead
But instead, I focus on the everlasting,
free shining sun within the heart
I focus on love
