Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
A Journey Of True Soul Love
Here in the east I look up
A roof of stars above my head
that offers comfort
Thousands of little lights
twinkle softly to me in the dark:
‘let go of the old
give your pain to us
we have a better story
we have destiny
written here for you’
And in the west
I see Venus in the sky
shining brightly
pointing to where love can be found,
to where you are

Oh my beautiful sun,
even when tears keep flowing
you keep drying them
one by one
Caressing my watery eyes
and cheeks
with your shine and warmth
while whispering
that I am seen, that I am loved
as you keep me in your spotlight
©RoseGirl2020
When the chemistry between us
the flames burning in our hearts
make us visible
to each other and to the world
No matter where we are,
no matter the people
that are around,
the power of us makes
everything else fade away
And then there’s just
you and me
highlighted by love
©RoseGirl2020
I searched for you
But you were the one
that came to me
and found me at dawn
– you always come to me
like the blackbird
Singing me alive
and awake again
to my own heart
And maybe,
you didn’t even come
for you were already there
as you always are
and always will be
I just needed to open the eyes
of my heart
to see you here with me
©RoseGirl2020
We do not need to see
a rainbow
a silver lining,
the light at the end
of the tunnel
or what’s next to come
to know that there is hope
We do not need to speak
to hear each other
We do not need to touch
to feel
We do not need to see
to know that there is love

I watch two white butterflies
dance together in the air
playfully and lightly
As if the dark times in their cocoon
have finally been left behind and forgotten
As if renewal and change
although it’s been hard,
have set them free
and now they’ve refound each other
As if those two butterflies could be
you and me
©RoseGirl2020
My sunflower, let me lie
on the soft bed
of your heart
Close your petals
around me
to keep me safe
and sound
during the night
©RoseGirl2020
It’s not about
the big moments,
the great events and
happenings
But it’s more about
the little moment to moment
that I love you greatly
and that makes
the small, the normal,
extraordinary

Venus is graceful in the sky tonight
Shining brightly
next to the moon
warmed by the sun
Named after the Roman goddess
of beauty and love
She reminds us
to always look up
as true love comes from above
We cannot find her
low to the ground
in guilt, shame and blame
fears, depression, in ego
but she makes hearts rise
for love is divine
©RoseGirl2020
In these times
of social distancing
and lockdowns
feel me closer than ever
my arms reaching out to you
across the ocean
to hold you tight
Let my touch catch your tears
soften your heart
open your mind
and strengthen your hope
As lovers do not follow
the routes, the ways and
the borders of the world
they continue to hold and touch
each other always

The moment when a poem is
already in the air
but is not yet written
Inspiration tenderly kissed
onto her by her muse
The moment when a poem is felt
desire awakens
and muse and poetess
make love with each other
to birth their poetry into the world
©RoseGirl2020
In a confusing world of
conspiracy theories,
lies, fake news, manipulation,
gaslighting and fears
if I don’t know what is real
and what to believe
I use my heart as a detector
and find truth in our love
©RoseGirl2020
The muse only needs to look
into the eyes of the poetess,
the mirror of her poetry
to see how beautiful he is
Why then is he still
doubting himself?
Is it because the poetess too
sometimes still doubts
that she is a muse to her muse
and that she is the one that creates
as well as the one that inspires?
If those two muses
would both fully believe
in themselves and would trust
their reflection in each other’s art,
the love they create would be
even more stunning
©RoseGirl2020
He and she,
two flowers, two lovers stood
next to each other in a meadow
She saw how his head hung down
and his stem leaned aside
Though she continued to bloom
and opened her heart even more
The other flowers were confused:
Why are you not holding his stem
and giving everything to hold him upright?
She replied: I hold his heart inside
and fill it with love
so he can find his strength again
to hold himself

Sacred is the yoga mat
Sacred is the space
in which I move
when I dedicate
my practice
to love,
to me and to you
©RoseGirl2020
I wish I could write you wealth
I wish I could write you security
I wish I could write you two arms
and physical company
I wish I could write you good fortune,
joy and ease
but I can only write you tons of love
And then maybe, you can find in that
everything you need
©RoseGirl2020
Soar like a bird in the sky
Fly over mountains,
over rivers and seas
And dream
When you’re high up
everything that’s
going on on earth
the valleys and the peaks
will be relative
and irrelevant
for what is above all
is love
Dance in the wind
Balance your wings
And when you do need
to go down
always keep your heart up
remember your dreams
And land in my arms
©RoseGirl2020
While I sit in my backyard
in the quietness and the promise
of Easter morning
I cannot find the right words
and then maybe,
love expresses itself
through the butterflies
with beautiful colours
the bees that hum
the birds that sing
and the apple tree that blossoms
and then maybe,
this is just a day without words
©RoseGirl2020
I can spend a lot of thoughts
on worries and fears
but I’d rather save them for
what matters most:
you, love, trust and hope
©RoseGirl2020
What can help to miss you less
What can stop a heart from aching
when no word, no poetry can be a plaster
the only remedy is to love you
even brighter, even bigger,
even deeper and even harder
©RoseGirl2020
If thoughts try to attack
and the outside world looks
scary and unpredictable
If the ego mind creates
the illusion of separation
and spreads its virus
of doubt and fear
If you search for me in the past
or on the empty spot
next to you in your bed
If your own thinking
tries to pull you away
from yourself
Stay home with me in your heart
and reside with me in love
©RoseGirl2020
Keep them close to your heart
those unseen poems
those unheard songs
and unwritten notes
sing them silently within
write them in the light
of your own eyes
for my heart, my ears will hear
©RoseGirl2020
I walk through the woods
and it’s so quiet here
There’s no one around
but birds that sing
a beautiful symphony
Now the humans
are forced to stay inside
nature takes over
I stand still and listen
In my thoughts I put
my hand in yours
and I think
how perfectly, how naturally
how purely
your tunes, your voice
our love would fit
into this choir of birds
©RoseGirl2020
And when the air
feels thick and heavy
filled with droplets
of sadness and longing
with what was
and what will be
but what is not yet,
I breathe some love
into it
May its lightness
dissolve the clouds,
fill our chests,
fill the moment
and make the air
dance again
©RoseGirl2020
Just seeing your name
makes my heart beat
a little faster
as if those letters make
a gorgeous poem
on their own
©RoseGirl2020
When things feel blue and blurry
sometimes the best thing to do is
to breathe and accept it
and to drink a cup of tea
in the sun
while thinking of you
©RoseGirl2020
Two birds that kept their song
for themselves
only singing it on their own side
of the forest
though always hearing each other
in their hearts,
now find the courage
to sing together
Still in their own tree
softly they sing little hearts
up into the sky
But their tune will become
louder and stronger
as they grow in sharing their love
©RoseGirl2020
Once the line is crossed
Truths are spoken
The world opens for us
©RoseGirl2020
Give me your hands
I’ll put them on my heart
let them find peace there
Let them sense
movement and sound
Let them find harmony
Let them rise and fall
and dance to my breath
Let them hold my heart
and receive
all the love I have for you
©RoseGirl2020
Sometimes the word
that does not rhyme
is the perfect word
A song sung slightly
out of tune but straight
from the heart
is the perfect song
An image grainy,
pixelated but made
with clear vision
is the perfect picture
Love depicted
Love expressed
in your own way
is the perfect way
©RoseGirl2020
Sometimes, things
need to fall apart
to come back together
and fit better
in a new way
©RoseGirl2020
On this spring day
I sit in my backyard
with a cup of coffee
in my hands and watch
the birds and cats
– or do they watch me?
As I think of you and watch
your image
projected on the screen
of my heart
my smile shines
a thousand rays of poetry
upon the world
– my love, do you see?
©RoseGirl2020
I draw my attention inward
to connect and have
my moments with you
©RoseGirl2020
We might think we find
safety and security in
money, in possessions, in work
in a location or in certain people
but when it all falls apart
we learn that true security
can only be found in ourselves
in surrender, in trust
and in love
©RoseGirl2020
Even sadness can soothe
for every emotion
is just another wave
I ride together with you
©RoseGirl2020
At night I can turn off my phone
I can close the curtains,
close my eyes
and can shut down the world
though my connection with you
always remains open
©RoseGirl2020
I can say ‘good night’
in many ways
But there’s no ‘good night’
so sweet and tender
like a ‘good night’ that
I say to you
as even those ordinary words
have a warm glow
when they in fact mean
‘I love you’
©RoseGirl2020
I see more fire in your eyes
a stronger intent and
more presence of you
As if you’re more comfortable
in your own heart
Did love awaken you
I see dreams in your eyes
Not far, not out of reach
But they’re more tangible now
Your eyes do see
much more
than they’ve ever seen
©RoseGirl2020
If we can’t go outside,
if the world is closed
we go within
where we have worlds
to discover
we wander together
in thoughts of each other
and follow the traces of love
We journey in
feelings and images
in glitter and magic
and find freedom
in the spaciousness
of our hearts
©RoseGirl2020
If my love for you
could be given in gold
You’d be the richest man
in the world
©RoseGirl2020
Whenever I fall
into insecurity and sadness,
Whenever I get lost
It’s always you
who catches,
who finds me
on the inside
as you reassure
and soothe me
through the heart
©RoseGirl2020
Sometimes, when I see you
on the screen
and I look only with my eyes at you
when I forget to look with my heart
everything is painful
as if every pixel is
a thousand miles distance
the ocean between us filled
with tears of missing you
©RoseGirl2020
We look out the window
of our rooms
Inside two candles burn
Two flames that dance together
to remind us that no wall
can keep us apart
You and me, we keep
looking at the sky
where clouds, sun, moon and
stars float by
from me to you
I write you love letters
and make paper airplanes
to cast out of my window
The wind takes a deep breath
and sighs them all the way
across the ocean
where they land
on the sill of your heart
©RoseGirl2020
Two daffodils bloom in the forest
Two best friends, two lovers that,
despite the grey and cold
scenery around them
continue to hold on to
their own true colours
as they stand tall together
in the promise of Spring
©RoseGirl2020
Maybe, we can’t afford expensive stuff
we don’t have a lot of money
We can’t give much
but we have our hearts,
we have true love
to offer to each other
which is the greatest luxury
in the world
