Sometimes my heart
feels like a vinyl
that lies on the turntable
of a record player
The needle scratches
in the groove
of such a sad song
and makes
a thousand rounds of
‘I miss you’

Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
A Journey Of True Soul Love
Sometimes my heart
feels like a vinyl
that lies on the turntable
of a record player
The needle scratches
in the groove
of such a sad song
and makes
a thousand rounds of
‘I miss you’

We climb the mountain together
step by step we go higher
closer to the sun
And as we ascend
our minds, our feet
may lose their grip
and it may look like
we fall deep
back to lower grounds
But we have the fixed
rope of love that secures us
that gives us a hold
We always have
each other’s back
And if we would look
from above
we would see our
upward progress
We would see that
eventually, we’ll reach
the top

The ego, the mind
seeks validation
It wants to be acknowledged
It wants to have proof
and confirmation
It wants to get
a written and signed ‘I love you’
to have an award,
a title, or Grammy
that says that it is worthy
it is loved and validated
Though the soul knows
true validation
can only be found
within one’s own heart

Words come and go
Emotions flow
through my lines
Subjects change
But you and love
are always there
are always present
in my poems
You witness
Love observes
You are woven
into every verse
You are the muse
Love the ink
with which I write
You are the breath
that breathes
each poem alive
Without you,
without love
there wouldn’t
be poetry at all
©RoseGirl2020
We have this little,
though great secret together
our sacred heart bond
not to see for the public eye
but we know, we feel, we see
that even miles apart,
wherever you go
you have me by your side
and wherever I am
I always have you secretly with me
©RoseGirl2020
She’d like to hide in a corner
so life wouldn’t see her
and could not hurt her no more
But why then keeps
her soul pushing her to go out
Is it love, is it her beloved that keeps
whispering inside not to give up
Simply, because she wasn’t made
for the shades
but she and he are made
for the light?
©RoseGirl2020
I love you
much
greatly
tremendously
unearthly
endlessly
and even more
than that

And…. cut!
The two lovers of true love
take a break from their earthly movie
and meet in a higher realm
And he said:
“What is the matter my sexy sweetie?”
She said:
“Well, my cutest cutie,
I don’t feel that sexy anymore
I am exhausted, I am in pain
I want to leave that crazy
earthly movie we are in
I am done with our egos,
with the roles we play
with the crazy story
It all hurts too much, as if it is real
My ego gets triggered by your ego
by what you do and don’t do
as it longs for validation
Can’t we just leave the earthly plain
and stay here forever melted
in each other’s arms”
“I know, my sweetie, I know
we have tough karma,
tough darkness to clear
but we signed up for this
we’re together on a mission
the harder the path is
the brighter our love will shine
Like this, I always hold you
when we’re back on earth again
just close your eyes
to feel my arms around you
how I continue to whisper
sweet words of love
into your heart
Don’t get so much caught up
in the illusion of the movie
don’t think the movie on earth is real
We play our roles
to help each other heal
But we are not our roles, not our egos
we are the actors, the soul behind it
So wipe away your tears, my sweetie
stand tall again
stand strong, stand in love
Remember, we made each other
a promise”
“Okay my cutest cutie,
I must be Superwoman
This all takes extraordinary powers”
“You are, my sweetie,
you are my heaven and earth angel”
“And you, you are my all-realms Superman”

Close your eyes and meet me
in another realm
Where there is only truth,
only love
Your hand always in mine
Where there is no veil
no fear, no pain
Where we can see each other,
see ourselves
for who we truly are
©RoseGirl2020
I cycle around in my town
catching the silver lining
catching the light
behind the dark clouds
©RoseGirl2020
You lie on the ground
like dead
– how many times
have you died
like this –
You lift your head
and look around
everything is
as white as paper
Nothing there
Nothing to see
No words
Are these the wide fields
of loneliness?
Your body aches
You hurt
Did you lose everything
Did you lose yourself
and now you’re nothing but
a heap of pain?
But then,
you go to your heart
you feel your beloved
you sense him
and you know
you still have love
you still have all
©RoseGirl2020
I could write many poems now
on how deep my heart aches
Though I could write even more
on the depth of my love for you
as light is always stronger than darkness
love is bigger than pain
©RoseGirl2020
I seek you
between two gasps for breath
among desperate thoughts
within a ball of pain
in my chest
within an aching heart
I seek you
and find you
for there is always love
©RoseGirl2020
When all is crumbling down
and tragedy, drama, horror
lies scattered around me,
loneliness howls at night,
the only light in the dark,
the only thing left is love
©RoseGirl2020
I wish I could paint the sky again
with my words
But every movement,
every stroke of my pen hurts
Only the stillness
of you wordlessly
holding my aching heart in love
brings solace
©RoseGirl2020
If she could disappear
she would
Leaving her deeply
wounded heart
behind
in a world
that hurt her too much
Seeking cover
in the softness
of her beloved’s heart
©RoseGirl2020
In this nightmare
from which I can’t
wake up
A hell, I couldn’t have
imagined
Please let me dream
sweet in your arms
And find heaven
in our love

To publish as a poet
is a great thing
It really means
you are someone
you have accomplished
something
Therefore I also published
on the most prestigious,
most appreciated pages
as I published
my entire work of poetry
on the pages of your heart
©RoseGirl2020
One
word
at
a
time
I
kiss
my
words
on
you
so
you
can
taste
them
one
by
one
and
soak
them
slowly
in
©RoseGirl2020
And I keep it small
and simple tonight
no big words
no metaphoric,
poetic lines
no twinkling stars
no orchestra
but just a
softly whispered
sweetly kissed
Goodnight, my love,
Goodnight….
©RoseGirl2020
Long distance thoughts
go far and travel
by the speed of
their longing for the one
they lovingly hold
crossing many miles,
crossing an ocean
in less than the blink of an eye
Long distance feelings
go even further
for they travel
by the speed of love
and then make
any distance short
As short as the distance
from heartbeat to heartbeat
©RoseGirl2020
And if we’re tired of
the heavy, shaky earthly matters,
my fairy man, we use our wings,
we go up and we jump
on a cloud together
to float away high above
in the clear blue sky,
in the vastness of our love
©RoseGirl2020
If longing
could light a fire
she would have
burned away
the world
©RoseGirl2020
And when you go out today
to do what you need to do
with a trembling heart,
with racing thoughts
When you take the stage,
put yourself out there
and it shakes you,
yet you’re brave and you take
your steps,
Just close your eyes
for a moment
breathe and feel that
I am with you
©RoseGirl2020
It doesn’t matter
how many nightmares
I go through
at night,
the demons I face,
for in the morning
I always wake up
in the thought of you
©RoseGirl2020
The violin plays
a sad song
the bow strokes
the four strings
of a heartfelt
‘I wish I was
there with you’
©RoseGirl2020
I hold you so dear
in every breath
in every movement
in the stillness
of the moment
I hold you so dear
in every sound
in every song
in the quietness
of knowing
I hold you so dear
in my poems
in my words
in the depths
of the unsaid
I hold you so dear
in my smiles
in my tears
in the embrace
of not knowing
In all of me
With all of me
I hold you dear,
so dear
©RoseGirl2020
On this freezing early morning
I ride my bike through the city streets
It’s still half dark, the day
has not yet fully awakened
The drops of an ice cold fog
bite my cheeks
But while my legs battle
their way up the hill
I hear your whisper of love inside
like a gentle caress and then,
I warm up, I brightly smile
A smile, that visibly warms
the hearts of others
that catch its rays
as I pay love forward
©RoseGirl2020
And sometimes the tension
between us is palpable
like a guitar with tuned strings
that waits for the first strum
to be released of its melody
that it holds inside
©RoseGirl2020
If you would truly realize
how beautiful, how eternal
how much loved you are,
If you would trust the power
that lies within your soul,
then you would have
nothing to worry,
nothing to fear no more
But you could finally live
full bliss
You could finally live love
©RoseGirl2020
If you feel blue and lost,
just read my poetry
to find yourself again
in my lines of love
that will make you feel
rose coloured
©RoseGirl2020
In the middle of the night
I lie awake in my bed
dreaming my dreams
by thinking of you
©RoseGirl2020
I step onto the ice
with my skates
and glide smoothly,
making my circles
twirling around
from within
from the heart
Because love flows
it moves me
and makes me dance
poetry
wherever I go
Love and poetry
It is a state of being
A sacred dance
A piece of art
It is a way of life
©RoseGirl2020
I don’t demand anything
I don’t expect you
to meet my needs
as for that,
I’m responsible myself
If you’d like to give,
give it free-hearted
The rose doesn’t demand sunlight
but is grateful for any light
the sun shines upon her
Just as the sun is grateful
to see the rose
blossoming for him
Loving me,
as only you can do,
it means the world,
more than the world,
to me
©RoseGirl2020
My darling, a poem without title
so you can title it yourself:
Love, Healing, Peace,
A Tender Kiss,
A Fiery Embrace…
Just name it
and it will make
the poetry for you
with whatever you need
©RoseGirl2020
And with my skates
I draw my lines of poetry
on ice
Every word is elegantly
danced for you
A Dutch landscape around me
Mills, little lights
My well known homeland
in which I once made my life’s entry
My heart glows within
I look up
and see the stars above
I see you and me
dancing there together,
drawing our lines of love
between the stars
And then I know
my true homeland
is everywhere
it’s in the galaxy, on earth,
in dreams, in our hearts
wherever I dance with you
©RoseGirl2020
Beneath the words
there is a world
Where passion
fires, flames,
moans, storms
and sighs
Where love, so deep
bubbles, flows, brews
and steams
Beneath the poem
there is a poem
Beneath loving you
there is a world
©RoseGirl2020
And she tried to convince him
and the world
that she was kind,
that she was nice
that she was good,
that she was lovable
that she wasn’t bad,
that she wasn’t crazy
But maybe, she didn’t need
to convince anyone
Maybe, she only
needed to convince herself
©RoseGirl2020
Whatever you do,
feel or think
My neurons fire
as though it is in me
Your emotions wave
through me,
Your thoughts heard
Your actions felt
Everything of you
has its reflection,
its echo in me
©RoseGirl2020
A still image
in black and white
Frozen in time
But then,
You turn on the light
to make
your colours
visible
And suddenly,
It’s like Spring
sprouts from your chest
and out of Winter’s death
out of the past,
green leaves grow
New melodies arise
And you’re alive again
with me
in the now
©RoseGirl2020
All those people
that look and stare
into my eyes
As if they see something
unusual, unknown
Do they want to dip
into the nectar of love
I have for you in my heart
Do they want to look
inside?
As if they see that
it is not just a heart of one
But I have one heart of two
©RoseGirl2020
After a night full of rain
and a scarcity of sleep,
the sun breaks through
Curled up like a fetus
I lie on the couch
The clock ticks like a heartbeat
I let the sun be the womb
around me
that births me back into light
©RoseGirl2020
I look up
rain falls on my face
and washes my tears away
I can’t see the moon tonight
It’s all dark
No stars in the sky
Where are you, my love
The sounds of the city
in the distance
Cars chasing each other
Blended with the sound of rain
My beating heart within
tells me that even when
the stars and moon have gone
you’re never truly far away
©RoseGirl2020
May my words touch you
as though they are my fingertips
May they reach deep
as though they are my gaze
May you sense them on
and under your skin
lightly and gently
May you feel them in your heart
as though they make
breathtaking electricity
May my words touch you
as though they are me
©RoseGirl2020
And if yearning
would break free
and our hearts
would no longer
be restrained by
physical borders,
they would take flight
and meet tonight
somewhere halfway
between two continents
above the ocean
