Safe In Your Heart

Keep me safe in your thoughts
safe in your heart
while I battle
with demons,
stand my ground
in a violent world

The Illusion Of The Physical

Loneliness is
nothing but
experiencing myself
in physical form
caged within skin
separated
by sea and land
from you

©RoseGirl2020

Just Breathe

When the night falls
with a thousand ‘I miss you’s’
and self doubts
and thoughts creep in
that show the past,
all the things
that I’ve done wrong
I can only come to terms
with the dark
if I breathe out,
breathe in love

©RoseGirl2020

Fiery Red

And as the fire within
and between us burns high
My eyes long towards the West
and watch the sunset
An explosion of fiery red
in the sky
there where you are

©RoseGirl2020

Bridge

No matter how far two shores
lie from each other
How vast the ocean
How many miles the sky above
How great the distance between
two continents, two bodies
How far time has gone
How far thoughts wander,
how often feelings get lost
Love is the unbreakable bridge
that connects us
and brings us home

©RoseGirl2020

Praying For The Sun

‘I miss you’s’ hang
like dark clouds
around my head
and rain their tears
upon me
And I,
I float on an ark
of love
and pray for the sun

©RoseGirl2020

Rest

A tired mind,
an aching head
only finds rest
on the soft
pillow of love
in the heart

©RoseGirl2020

We Leave The Light On

On dark and
desolate days like this
even the dawn
doesn’t seem
to bring any light
but luckily,
we’ve left the light
of our love on

©RoseGirl2020

Cover Me

Sing me a soothing song
surround me with your sound
cover me with you
to protect me from
the nagging noise
of the world

©RoseGirl2020

The Certainty Of Love

When I’m so confused
and doubts and headaches
pop up like ghosts
I say ‘boo’ to chase them away
and use the certainty of love
as my weapon

©RoseGirl2020

So What

And when my ego says:
what if
love was never meant for me
what if
shooting stars
won’t take my wishes
up into the heavens
but will let them drift
forever lost in space
what if?

Then I answer:
So what
I’m safe, I’m grateful,
I love and am loved
I feel, I know
as I look up and read
what’s written in the stars
and see you, see my destiny
and all the things the universe
wishes for me

©RoseGirl2020

Break Free

Let’s break free
from our skin
from the earth
from our tears
from ‘I miss you’

And we’ll feel,
we’ll embrace
we’ll merge
and make love
with our soul

©RoseGirl2020

Our Own Universe

We’re like the sun and moon
sometimes, we retreat
from the world
and let clouds hide us
But we can never hide
from each other
for high up in the sky
we always have
our own universe together

©RoseGirl2020

It’s The Heart That Keeps Me Going

When my body feels weak
because of too many
waking hours
and headaches,
my heart, that holds us both
closely together always,
beats even stronger
with love

©RoseGirl2020

Counting Stars

At night
when I cannot sleep
and I count stars,
count ‘loving you’s’
it’s then that I dream
the most

©RoseGirl2020

I Hear Love

And if I silence
the screaming pain,
silence my raging mind,
silence the world
then I only hear
you and me
I only hear love

©RoseGirl2020

Where The Movement Is

When in my head
thoughts and heavy aches
keep me stuck
in one place
and I am
unable to move,
I fly away
with my heart
to be with you

©RoseGirl2020

Growing In Love

Every challenge
is just a lesson
that helps me
to love you,
love myself
even more

©RoseGirl2020

Light Comes From The Heart

My mind so dark
and cloudy
but then the feel of you,
the thought of you
breaks through
in a thousand sun rays

©RoseGirl2020

Where The Open Doors Are

What do I do
when I walk into walls
hit closed doors with my fists
scream unheard screams
and cry unseen tears

I go within, to my heart
where there are no walls,
where doors are always open
where you listen
to my screams, catch my tears
and hold me in the infinite space
of love

©RoseGirl2020

The Stars Seem So Far

Lying on my bed I watch
the dark night through
the open skylight
The thought of you
accompanies me

And the stars seem so far tonight
My love, where are you
Miles of clouds drift between us,
cover up and hide

But clouds can disappear
in an instant
When clear sight is found in the heart
where stars are always known
to be there
You, I cannot unsee,
cannot unfeel

What is invisible to the eye
requires inner knowing
and faith

©RoseGirl2020

Honey

Like a flower
that takes a bee
to her heart
I take you in
Fold my petals
around you
Hold you deep
inside
and let you drink
from my sweet
liquid love

©RoseGirl2020

Retreat

Retreat, he says,
just like I do
Retreat from the world
and its storms
from the opinions,
the noise
of others
to find me
connecting with you
inside

©RoseGirl2020

Burning

And as we see the fire in the world
burn everything down,
the old control structures,
fear programs and paradigms,
we feel the fire within us
burn even stronger to build up
our new world based on love

©RoseGirl2020

The Heart Doesn’t Lie

The ego tends to fool
and to tell lies
and fear based stories
that all is hopeless
that you are lonely,
unloved, unworthy
but a heart full of
the truth of love
can never really
be deceived

©RoseGirl2020

The Beauty And The Ugly

When migraines are sharp
and pounding
and pain in head and heart
feels so ugly

I let it hold hands
with the beauty of love

©RoseGirl2020

In His Embrace Always

When her heart grieves
so deep
all she longs for is
his arms to hold her
but they are an ocean apart

So instead, he tells her
to look at the sky above
the earth below
to sense the wind on her skin
to see the trees sway
clouds move
the stars appear
and to feel that everything
around her is his embrace

©RoseGirl2020

She Roars For Him

What does a lioness
when she misses her man
She roars for him
from her depths
All her fire caught
in a roar from the heart
that echoes
through the night
and lights shooting stars
for him

Her roar
he will feel it
inside

©RoseGirl2020

When It Rains Inside

And when it rains inside
Hold me tight against your chest
and let the warmth and the light
of the sun of your heart dry
my pouring inner waters

©RoseGirl2020

Candles In The Dark

At night when I face
my demons
every thought of you
lights a candle
in the dark

©RoseGirl2020

I Dance

And when I stand
when I move
when I walk
when I write
when I yearn
when I breathe
when I feel
I dance
always
through life
with you

©RoseGirl2020

Perfect Order

Amidst the chaos
There’s always
the perfect order
of our love

©RoseGirl2020

Welcome To My Dreams

When I say my ‘goodnight’
when I go to sleep
it’s not just a word
It’s not a goodbye
But it’s like a kiss
light like a feather
that softly
strokes your lips
to welcome you
to my dreams

©RoseGirl2020

Turbulent October

Turbulent October
When it rains
things shift
when it storms
the weather changes

October teaches us a lesson
that things in and around us
will pass

Though whatever moves
and changes
my heart is always
moved by you
Our love will last

©RoseGirl2020

These Few Words

Those mornings when I could write
a thousand different things
I could write about the weather
– it rains and rains and rains
and make a metaphorical poem
though my pen keeps stuck at only
a few words:

I miss you
I love you

©RoseGirl2020

Full Of Each Other

My love, do you also feel
the sadness
Do you feel that hole
the emptiness beside you
when you wake up
in the middle of the night
and your hands sense all
that is missing

Then feel inside
how full we are of each other
how every spot is filled with
abundant love

©RoseGirl2020

Let Go And Let Us Flow

Let’s be like two autumn leaves
blown forward by the wind
we float and dance in the air
together
and as we let go of the hold
to the old and
let us flow
we’ll be lighter and higher
in love

©RoseGirl2020

Connecting Our Eyes

Look with me at the full moon tonight
Even with time,
even with thousands of miles
between us
It will be the light of the moon
connecting our eyes

©RoseGirl2020

My Special Power

What gives me strength
no matter how hard
the hardship
how high the mountain
how low the low
is my special power:
our love

©RoseGirl2020

Morning Blues

The morning blues rules
when wherever I look
wherever I go
from every corner
trumpets blow a heartfelt
‘I miss you’

©RoseGirl2020

You Look At Me

At night in the dark
I seek your eyes
to find you look at me
from within the heart

©RoseGirl2020

When Our Hands Seek Each Other

When our hands seek
each other in vain
in the empty space beside us
we let our thoughts,
our hearts, our words
moon and sun
water and earth
our tears, our hopes,
our prayers commune
and walk hand in hand

©RoseGirl2020

In Our Quiet Love Space

The more light comes in
the more light we send out
and truth gets more visible,
the louder fear, control,
lies, manipulation,
the louder the dark will scream

But we are always safe
and sovereign,
in our quiet love space
within

©RoseGirl2020

Finding Our Way To The Sun

And I watch the rain fall
It has been raining for days
So many thoughts
So many ‘I miss you’s’
Restrictions and distance
Yet in my heart the love
the connection
We talk all day long
without words

And then rain may
continue to fall
tears may be shed
but free birds like us
can’t be caged
and if grey clouds
hold back the light
we’ll find a way
we’ll just rise above
and fly to the sun

©RoseGirl2020

Two Stars

And I see two stars in the sky
They both seem so lonely
with a dark, black gap
between them

But if they shine
as bright as they can
with their light they can touch
each other, they entwine
and any gap,
any dark between them,
dissolves
