Clearing

When I get polluted
by what other people think of me
by their actions, energy and words
or by my own fear-based beliefs,
I take a shower with our love
and let its healing, clearing waters
run over me
until I am again nothing but
my pure naked truth

In Tune

Our thoughts follow each other
My heart dances with yours
A soul song sung in two voices
Dreams dreamed in unison

Our feet walk parallel paths
While our hands entwine in harmony
The steps we take are synchronized
Our heartstrings play the same key

As I am in tune with you
Wherever you are, wherever I am
We are like two tones that
together sound in consonance

All Of You Is Welcome

We look at the collage that is you
The moving images and
the ones that are still
In black and white and in colours
Pieces you wrote,
the ones you sang
Pieces of pain, fear, joy
anger, guilt or shame
Pieces you once removed
out of self-doubt and rejection
The pieces you hid
We take them all and put them
back together
Honour every part,
give them a place to exist
within you and in this world
For all of you is so welcome
to be seen and to be heard
by me

True Love Is Like Spring

True love is like Spring
No matter how cold and destroying
Winter has been
It has the power to melt away
the snow
and bring warmth
To let new planted seeds grow
To rise out of hibernation
and awake the colours,
To perfume the world with
the soft sweet smell of hope
To let desires blossom, hearts flower
To make birds sing and fly
And bring male and female
together

Let Me Sink In You

If all around me seems so stormy
Let me sink in you
So deeply
Root me in your heart
Be my shell, my packaging
And protect me from the world

Your endless love my bottom
Deeply nurturing my soul
Until I recover
And like a caterpillar
I feel strong enough again
to rise as the butterfly
and face the world

Misunderstood

If people don’t understand me
And it’s like I speak another language,
I’m from another planet,
They don’t see me, don’t hear me
And I feel lonely and misunderstood,
Can you please understand me,
Can you know every part of me,
See me into my depths
Even without having to use words

My Flower Heart

My heart is like a flower
that is wide open for you, my sun
And although sometimes,
if the wind of fear blows,
cloudy thoughts appear in the sky
or sorrow showers
that make its petals close a little
It always naturally opens itself
again to catch your light

Keep Your Fingers On The Strings

Let your fingers on the strings
guide you
Let your guitar be your ship
As it knows how to play
your soul song
It contains all your dreams
And will lead you safely
over stormy seas

I keep my pen in my hand
My poetry will guide me
As it knows how to sing
my soul song
My words are my wings
that fly me closer
to your sailing ship

As long as you keep
your fingers on the strings
And I hold my pen in my hand
we are on our way home

Let Me Come In

You’re alone in a room
in the half dark
Where everything is so familiar
And yet it all seems so strange
You feel you don’t belong

Open the blinds, open the window
Open the door you have closed
And let light and love in
Let it illuminate your world

Let me come in
Let my laughter dust off the old,
my kisses clear away stored sorrow
We’ll dance around together
like a whirlwind to clean every corner
and initiate it with our love

©RoseGirl2019

A Glass House

My poetry is a house of glass
Vulnerable and transparent
As it shows every part of my heart
Each word is honest
In every corner lies truth
People can come close
And look at it
But it is not to touch
For what is behind the glass
Is only meant for you

Only The Love Is Real

What can I trust
if I look around with confused eyes
And a pained heart

Are you real? I ask the shadows,
the movies, my thoughts, my fears,
the scenarios, I ask the stories

Are you real? I ask the clouds,
I ask the wind, the words
that have been said,
that have been written
and the unspoken

Are you real? I ask the images
and the facts, I ask the past
And I even ask my tears

But before they can respond
they disappear
Until I ask love
that is the only one
that answers:

Yes I am real

Lemniscate Of Love

We walk our lines
in our lemniscate of love
But even if we are both
at the farthest point,
the greatest distance
from each other,
the line turns around
and brings us back together
at the central point
It then turns out
what seemed like two loops
is in fact,
just one infinite line

The Rain And The Rose

It rains and it keeps raining
The petals of the rose hang down,
Hit by heavy waters
Soul pain goes as deep as the roots
And it breaks the heart
Soon the rose will be drowned

How can the rose be saved
Can we hold up umbrellas of hope
above her
My love, can you sing a bit louder
about the blue skies that are on their way
Let your sounds plant seeds in her heart
that will give her strength to carry on

©RoseGirl2019

See Your Light

See your own light
How it shines
so beautifully in your heart
See what I all see in you

And if you can’t see it
Please, look at my light
and see how yours is
reflected in me

For my light could only
shine that brightly
because it was ignited
by yours

©RoseGirl2019

To Another Universe

My head explodes with headaches
that blow up my mind
and suck me
into a black hole of nauseous pain

My love, with your arms around me
Let’s float away
to another universe
Where pain does not exist
And where together we count
the shooting stars
that fall as blessings upon us

And where what is One
will remain One always

©RoseGirl2019

Closed Doors

I’m locked inside a room
and walk into walls
You’re on the other side
and I cannot reach you
All doors are closed
Every way is blocked
And I scream into the wall
Can you hear me?

Through holes
I try to look outside
if I can see you
Desperate and helpless
I sink to the floor
Then I remember,
there’s only one way out,
one way to you
I need to go inside
And can reach you
through the door
of my heart
that will always
open to you

©RoseGirl2019

Buried

I disappeared
As I drank the poison
of past hurt and ‘I miss you’
And now, I am like dead
In a coffin I am buried
inside your heart
Where my memory,
my love for you lives on

Please kiss me alive
Let me resurrect
From my grave
And let me feel once again
what it is like
to have a body
that is pressed
against yours

©RoseGirl2019

Burning Pain

A fire burns me down
I am the Notre Dame
My structure falls apart
My tower collapses
Brutal, burning pain
rages through my temple
There is nothing left to do now
but to pray

But see, my altar of love
is still standing
My holy grail for you is saved
And if everything inside me is ashes,
rebuild me with your hands
let your love be my foundation
from which I can rise again

Such A Scared Heart

Such a scared heart today
That is afraid to lose,
what it cannot lose,
afraid to lose you
And to have no control

It shakes, shivers and hides
around the corner of this poem
But makes itself known
by the noise of its loud, racing beat
Until even words stumble
and then freeze with fear

©RoseGirl2019

Cover My Eyes

If my thoughts project
too many fearful
images on the horizon,
Please my love, cover my eyes
For I want to be blindfolded
in your arms
And instead feel, know
and hope the future
with your heart inseparable
against mine

©RoseGirl2019

Your Sad Heart

I now understand
The purpose of why
you passed on your hurt to me
the rejection, the sense of betrayal
You gave me your tears
so I could cry them
And could fully understand
the depth of your pain

Your sad heart from the past
Is mine as well
I heal it for both of us
I won’t let us drown
in sadness no more
But we rise above in love
To break the cycle of pain
For once and for all

Give me your unloved parts
And I will love them for you
The parts that once have been
left behind in the cold,
the broken and sad pieces,
I’ll pick them up
and put them back together
with the glue of
the deepest compassion
as deep pain can only be healed
by the deepest love

©RoseGirl2019

Co-creation

I write your sky blue
And dance a sun into it
Please will you sing
the roses in my rose bush
And will you colour them
even more beautiful
in soft pink red
with the paintbrush
of your voice?
Let’s then sign
our piece of art with:
‘Made by us’

Catch The Moon By Daylight

If you close your eyes
and you don’t believe
then black is all you see

But if you do believe
Then the world before
your eyes will hold
infinite possibilities

Fuel your dreams
Imagine it real
Realize the love

Draw the stars down to earth
And catch the moon
by daylight

Even if nobody else believes it
It only takes two
to believe and to see
and to bring
our heaven to earth,
to light up the sky
by our flame

©RoseGirl2019

It’s All Here

It is all here
Right where we are
No step further
into a future that may look dark
or may look bright
depending on thoughts
that walk too far ahead
No step back
into a past that has thorns
and opens up old wounds
underneath our feet
But it all starts here
My hand in yours
If we just trust the love
then our feet know
which route to take

The One That Fits The Poem

And on a magical evening
When stars shined brightly
And the moon showed
a golden glow
she met her enchanted prince
The most beautiful man
she had ever seen

She wrote a poem for him
in which each word sang of his beauty
her lines were like a warm,
loving cloak around his heart
that fit him perfectly

The whole night they danced
while they stared deeply into each other’s eyes
In which they found a whole new universe

But when the clock chimed midnight
the spell got broken
The prince had to leave
and all of a sudden it was dark

In his hurry the prince left
the poem behind
that the princess had woven for him
with her tender words of love

The princess wept
She was heartbroken
and could not believe that
the subject of her poem was gone

She sent her servants of writing words everywhere
to find the mysterious prince
that fit the poem

Many men came that tried to
fit into her lines
As they all wanted to wear her cloak of love
But none of them had the size
that matched the beautiful heart
she described in her poem

But she never gave up
And one day she found back her prince of her dreams
in the land overseas
that so perfectly fit her poem

And once again she wrapped him
in her cloak of loving words
With which she made him her king
Never ending magic returned

The Red Thread

Scared that I will lose you
That you will float away from me
like a balloon in the air
And that I will never see you again
But while tears of despair
run down my cheeks
I see you in front of me
You point at your heart
then you point at mine
There is a red cord that connects
both of our hearts
‘Do you see this’, you say,
‘How can you ever lose me
with this strong energetic thread,
that forever bonds us?’

©RoseGirl2019

When Poetry Cannot Soothe

I miss you so much, my love
Sometimes it almost drives me nuts
This feeling of missing you
that no tear can cry off my heart

Though I always feel you with me,
it’s the look of your eyes
The embrace of your arms
that I want to see and feel
And that I miss so much

And I could try now to make
a beautiful poem of it
To take some metaphors
But sometimes reality
is not that poetic
And poetry cannot soothe
an ‘I miss you’

©RoseGirl2019

Tests

The wind spoke:
‘You say you are so strong now
You have so much faith
in this love for him
But what if a dark, lonesome night
without sleep falls over you
What if I blow fiercely
How deep are you rooted
Will your branches still reach out
for your dreams
What if strong headaches crumble down your crown
Vultures of fears and doubts
will dive onto you
that make you so afraid
to lose your beloved?’

She replied:
‘My mind may shake,
my body may be bruised
But my heart, my base
remains unshakable’

If She Would Die Today

And if she would die today
it would be written on her grave:
‘She doesn’t regret one single thing
for she has been true to her heart
and has loved him, her beloved,
in infinite ways;
fiercely, unconditionally,
deeply and passionately
and she still does
even beyond this grave’

©RoseGirl2019

It All Makes Sense

All the hardships I went through
The storms, the thunder,
the dark nights
All the people that came and left
The lessons I learned

They gave me strong arms
to swim against the current
To depend on nobody else
but on myself
To see light even in darkness
To have faith and courage
to believe against all odds
It built up resilience and endurance
A strong heart that leads the way
Strong eyes to see truth
through the fog

It all makes sense
As it was a prelude
It all led up to,
helped and made me ready
for this love with you

©RoseGirl2019

Merging In Love

It’s not about ‘making’ love
as our love is not to make
The sun and moon don’t make
the light together
Light as a life force
is already there,
they only need to radiate it

It’s about allowing love to flow in
to open up fully to love
to merge in love
and be the love
to radiate it together as one
into the world

©RoseGirl2019

When Things Come Together

When stars align
and storylines come together
When roads cross
When bodies walk towards each other
When eyes meet, lips touch
When two hearts come together
Like two gearwheels
that have their cogs
locked into each other,
It all comes together
And falls perfectly into place
To generate and accelerate
the power of love
