Leave it behind, he said
All the old stories
the hurt, the sorrow
Don’t let it define your today
Close the book
Don’t rewind and don’t look back
But dream with me

Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
A Journey Of True Soul Love
Leave it behind, he said
All the old stories
the hurt, the sorrow
Don’t let it define your today
Close the book
Don’t rewind and don’t look back
But dream with me
of a new tomorrow

Have you ever wondered,
these deep emotions
the depth we have for each other
in our hearts
how everything around us changes
and even we are not
who we once were
that time goes by
a lot has happened
and our eyes have not touched
for a while
But still, the love is there
deeply rooted in us
that in fact,
the more we shed our egos
the stronger and deeper
the love grows
Have you ever wondered
about the wonder
how special, how extraordinary
yet so normal and natural to us
Our love that is a love of the soul
it is the undying, eternal light
within us both
©RoseGirl2020
We are like two subatomic particles
that interacted locally
then moved far apart
but continue to strongly
affect each other,
even on opposite sides of the world
and therefore, are still one unit
and should be considered
as a whole

Such a big love
But how much love can
one human heart hold
Can a heart burst, can it explode
So better not to hold it
Instead, I let it flow to you
into poetry
I dance it
and let my feet kiss it
on the earth
I smile it into the sky
to make rainbows and stars
so my heart will not burst
©RoseGirl2020
And somewhere in the ether
beyond the limits of words,
of body, of space
we find each other
I hold you,
you hold me
and we dance together
as we always dance
Each movement is a
dedicated prayer
With every step, every breath
every heartbeat
we honour love,
we honour us
©RoseGirl2020
I hold your head
between my hands
and kiss away
the last remainder
of the night,
the last dark
the last sleep
from your face
and then I kiss
a beautiful sunrise
on your lips
©RoseGirl2020
I dipped my pen
in the golden ink
of my heart and wrote
a Valentine’s letter
I perfumed it with
the sweet scent of love
Adorned it with rose petals
and pressed with lipstick
kisses on it
Then I delivered it
to your heart
So close your eyes
to find it within
Unfold it, smell it and feel it
and read, my love,
read and soak it in
©RoseGirl2020
There are things that I don’t speak out loud
Things that don’t see the light of day
and are kept away from words
Things that have their own life,
their own world, their own way
Hidden for the eye, the mouth
and pen
Instead they are exchanged in feelings,
as they flow secretly between our hearts
©RoseGirl2020
The biggest gift you can give me
is to love yourself
and to be at home in you
because then you will be there
to open the door for me

Does she have any space
in the world,
in the life of others
Does the poetess
have space in the poems
Does she have
space in the songs
Or IS she the space
in which poems
and songs are written
as she has space
in his heart
©RoseGirl2020
Words knock on my door
that want to be written
but I ignore
for I only want to listen
to the poetry within,
my heart conversation
with you
©RoseGirl2020
Can a metaphor ever depict
Can a word ever say
Can my eyes ever reflect
Can my body ever dance to you
how much you mean to me
Maybe,
they all fail separately
but it’s the sum total
It’s a world of metaphors
It’s a symphony of poetry
my eyes always looking at you
my body sacredly devoted
to yours
in an endless dance
Maybe,
it is through these many ways
in which my heart speaks
as it even speaks its love for you
through silence,
that you will know
©RoseGirl2020
And in the midst of it
in the heat of love
In the wild of it
In the high of it
In the winds of turmoil
We have a still
center of
only breathing
only feeling
of only us
©RoseGirl2020
Give me a word, an experience,
a situation or emotion
good or bad, big or small
Give me storm,
give me sunshine,
give me thunder
Just give me anything
and I’ll alchemize it
into a love poem
©RoseGirl2020
Your heart is like a harp
With poetic caress
I pluck its strings
to make its enchanting
sounds audible
©RoseGirl2020
Soft, poetic words
rain like ten fingers on you
cherish and stroke you
from top to toe
Words like two warm arms
that lovingly hold you
and embrace all
that is and all
that you are
Words like two hands
that blindly find
the poetry on you
carefully reading
and soaking in
each word
with their palms
Words like two ears
that hear your dreams
and deepest
heart’s desires
translating them
into kisses
and shooting stars
that make wishes
come true
Words like two eyes
that deeply gaze
into yours
telling you stories,
fairy tales from the heart
all you need to know
and even more
A poem like one body
wrapped around you
gentle naked truth
that is touchable
A poem like one heart
fused together
with yours
©RoseGirl2020
And maybe,
the thorns that roses have
are only there
so that lovers can show
they are brave enough
for true love
As once they’ve overcome
the fears and obstacles
once they’ve faced
and passed the thorns
the reward is
the rose
©RoseGirl2020
I like you, more than like you
as I love you, more than love you
But unfortunately, Facebook
doesn’t have a button for that
©RoseGirl2020
The wind blows fiercely
around the house
and uses
every crack, every gap
to penetrate
as it loudly whispers:
He loves you
He loves you
He loves you
©RoseGirl2020
There are nights
that I almost don’t want
to fall asleep
I don’t want to drift away
as I feel you so close
as if you are here
Those nights that I prefer
to daydream
©RoseGirl2020
At a high frequency
that only we can hear
we whisper non-stop
love messages into
each other’s heart
©RoseGirl2020
Trees don’t grow strong
from only sunshine
But they grow strong
from fierce winds
and heavy rainfall
when they’re being shaken
to the core
and need to let go
of branches and leaves
When there are obstacles
underground
that force their roots
to discover new ways
And they may still carry
the scars
from the storms they endured,
testimonials of strength
As they only grew strong
because of the challenges
they faced
©RoseGirl2020
And outside I let the storm
blow through me
Wind that feels like fire
when I think of you
and I dance with it, I whirl,
I float and I fly
until I become the storm
that makes the land
and the water move
that makes the flames
rise high
by the power of love
©RoseGirl2020
Clouds float wildly through
the sky this morning
Accompanied by the noise
of un upcoming storm
Trees move their branches
wildly back and forth
And the river throws its water wildly
over the banks and the quay
Such wild thoughts
wild dreams
a wild heart and wild love
Such a wild dance to
dance with you today
©RoseGirl2020
The moon,
at night she bathes
in the light of the sun
His rays that stroke
like fingers over her
She receives
and absorbs his heat
as she sighs with delight
and she glows
high and full
©RoseGirl2020
I keep my head cool
my heart hot
my feet danced
my eyes focused
my soul written in
love poems
for you
©RoseGirl2020
We have you
We have me
We have love
©RoseGirl2020
The moon shines brightly on me
through the bedroom window
and before I go to sleep
and close the curtains
I write you one more poem
not meant for the public eye
but for your eyes, for your heart only
Therefore, I’ve encrypted it
with moonlight
©RoseGirl2020
I’ve listened to your heart
how it sings with pure poetry
and now I write it out to you
so you will always
remember the beauty
of your heart’s sung poems
©RoseGirl2020
That Summer in Zundert
the center of the universe
was in that small village
in the south of the Netherlands
when outer space
was found in the deep gaze
of your eyes
©RoseGirl2020
I have several
coping mechanisms
to deal with
the challenges in life
To help myself through
every day I meditate, I do yoga,
I pray, I sing, I dance, I write
But by far, my favourite
coping mechanism
is to love you
©RoseGirl2020
And even though in your sky
shines the sun now
and in my sky glows the moon
and it may look like a difference
between day and night,
light and dark
and miles apart
our love transcends both worlds
©RoseGirl2020
Love has never been
just a four letter word
But instead, it consists
of millions of letters
Every time arranged
in another composition
as it makes
poetry for you
©RoseGirl2020
I keep still, keep silent
to let love play its melody
full fortissimo inside
so that it gloriously
deafens the mind
and leaves me breathless
in timeless love for you
©RoseGirl2020
When I go to bed and you,
somewhere far away,
are awake
make me some sweet dreams
kiss them, whisper them
yearn them, write them,
sing them to me
while I sleep
©RoseGirl2020
The more I’m tuned in
to myself
and the more
I’m present within,
the more I’m tuned in
to you
For I’m the portal
my heart is the bridge
to you
©RoseGirl2020
My fairy man, we both know
the art to become invisible
For we’ve learned it long time ago
when we were out in the dark woods
and other creatures attacked us
And sometimes, we still use it
to protect ourselves
We sprinkle our magic powder
and within an eye blink
we disappear into our fairy tales
drift away into our dreams
We keep silent
Invisible and transparent
like ghosts
The page stays blank
and can’t catch our words
But even though, no one
in the woods can see us
You always see me
I always see you
We’re never invisible to each other
as we see through the love
in our hearts
©RoseGirl2020
And sometimes it feels like
I am behind mirroring glass
I listen, I see, I hear
People project on me
see their own stories
on my surface
talk with themselves
but do they see me
My love, can you see me
can you see through the glass
and dissolve the loneliness
with the deep reach of your eyes
and the ears of your loving heart
©RoseGirl2020
The bird has left his cage
of the past,
as he broke free from the bars
of darkness and sadness
and now he sits on a branch
to sing for the world
his true heart song
of love, hope and joy
And sometimes,
his own bright light
still feels a bit uncomfortable
the blue sky is so open,
intense and so free
and he wants to fly back
to his cage
to his comfort zone
but then love, his own heart
reminds him that
things have changed
and it’s not where
he’s meant to be
©RoseGirl2020
When in life there have been
so many experiences of hurt
it is not always easy to walk
with open heart and in faith
But whenever I get triggered
and fears and
hopeless thoughts arise
I take a deep breath
and I choose
love, trust and joy over fear
As I see us walking
this journey together
I choose to be happy
not just for you or for me
but for us both
©RoseGirl2020
In the early morning
while cycling through
a cold hailstorm
I can only think
that this is another day
to love you even more
(and how I can get home
as quickly as possible)
©RoseGirl2020
I come to you
in the shape of a robin
right by your side
Whatever happens
I continue to sing you
my heart songs
I sing you straight through
the winter cold
and warm you with passion
I bring a promise of hope
And when you feel dead inside
I sing you alive
and remind you of Spring
Do you come to me
in the shape of a robin
do you continue to sing
even when it is Winter
do you bring me the promise
of Spring
©RoseGirl2020
And sometimes
the only remedy is
to let my fire for you
burn so fiercely
that it passionately
vaporizes the tears
©RoseGirl2020
And he said:
You say that you miss me
for you can’t see me
and my body isn’t there for you
to touch
But what if you would use your senses
in a different sequence
If you would first sense with your heart
to feel me,
if you would use your sixth sense
to connect
And then would use your eyes,
your ears, your taste, your smell,
your touch
would you then perceive me
would you sense me,
right by your side
©RoseGirl2020
I could miss someone
after a goodbye
I could miss the sun
on a cloudy day
I could miss Summer
when Autumn arrived
I missed loved ones
when they died
But still, I didn’t know
a depth of missing
so raw and painful
as if the other half of me
has been cut off
For I only truly know
what missing is
since I came to miss you
