Witness

Can you hear me, love
Can you hear my tears
even in the lonesome silence
Can you see,
can you witness
all my fears
even in the darkest darkness
of the night
Can you feel every piece,
all of me

Can you feel
yourself here
with me

The Bridge

Where words stop,
the mind cannot reach
where an ocean splits
continents,
the heart is the bridge
between me and you

Mercy

A singer starts to sing
a guitar, piano and violin
and she lies down on the old floor
in the dark
at the back of the church
in the house of
Mary Magdalene and Yeshua
she surrenders
hands hold and caress her
music envelops her
tears run down her cheeks
like holy rivers
as she deeply longs for home
she longs for him

©RoseGirl2022

Loneliness

In the absence
I discover the presence
of love

©RoseGirl2022

Noon Dance

I danced with you midday
in the midst of the turmoil
I landed in your arms
My chest to yours
Did you feel my breath
while everyone was watching
but nobody saw it
this secret between me and you
that we danced through the heart

©RoseGirl2022

A Last Kiss

A last kiss of the sun
before he leaves
‘But do not fear
I’ll be back’,
he whispers softly,
‘In the meantime,
I asked the moon
to catch my light
and shine it in your night
so you’ll still have
something from me
that is with you’

©RoseGirl2022

All There Is

If nothing
seems to be there
no more
love is all there is

©RoseGirl2022

True Poetry

And we just step from the pages
unclothe us from the letters
let loose the lines
to find within
the true poetry
of me and you

©RoseGirl2022

Remembering Love

Maybe,
we just need to forget
Forget ourselves,
our ways,
our past,
our thoughts
to remember love

©RoseGirl2022

I Still Feel You

Cycling under a bright shining moon
I still feel the heat
of the sun on my skin
as if he in fact, didn’t leave
but is still there
as an imprint in my cells
in the reflection of the moon,
in the reflection of thoughts
I still feel you

©RoseGirl2022

Milky Way Of Sounds

The night sings your songs
and makes a milky way of sounds
from you to me

©RoseGirl2022

Disappearing

The day disappears into the night
The sun disappears into the arms
of the moon
Fears disappear into love
as me and you disappear into us

©RoseGirl2022

A Place

Poetry is a place
where I reside
with you

©RoseGirl2022

Nightly Stream

The stars are too far to reach me
Tears drop in the river
and merge with the water
Will they stream towards sea
to reach you

©RoseGirl2022

In The Light

Sun rays, penetrate me
Light, absorb me and
lift me up
from a heavy earth
into the sky
to have a sacred dance
with my beloved

©RoseGirl2022

Visible

When the night is dark
may light shine from the heart
so love is what becomes visible

©RoseGirl2022

Here

You’re somewhere
out there
but what if ‘there’
doesn’t exist
and everything
I think of is
in fact, here
where I love?

©RoseGirl2022

Sinking Sun

Sun, do not go away
do not leave me tonight
Do not sink into the waters
Or is it only,
as I sink along with you,
to shine some light
in their depths,
in their darkness?

©RoseGirl2022

Perhaps

And perhaps,
if I just write and write
and write
I’ll write peace into me
I’ll write you back
here

©RoseGirl2022

In The Summer Breeze

Seek my words
in the summer breeze
that whispers my poems
to you
in its different ways
to stroke your cheeks
and letter by letter breathes
my tales from overseas
onto you

©RoseGirl2022

Cloud Surfing

Lying on my back
in the grass
I look at the sky
and wait
for a cloud to pass by
to jump on
so I can surf
my way to you

©RoseGirl2022

Looking

Do you look for me
Even if I’m nowhere to see
In all my dark places
In the corners
of the night
Even if I can’t see
myself

©RoseGirl2022

Moon Eyes

The moon has eyes tonight
as she looks at you from above
and sees,
she shines to me
how beautiful you are

©RoseGirl2022

Love Writes

When I don’t write
when my pen doesn’t touch
the paper
and words aren’t needed
then love writes the most

©RoseGirl2022

Heart Balloon

As you lose solid ground
and the world beneath your feet
becomes smaller
hold on to your heart
rise high in love
you will float among clouds
and stars
cross mountains and oceans
as your heart brings you back to me

©RoseGirl2022

Made Of The Same

Are you still there, he asks
Where are you, she wonders
But do they both know
they are ever present
they will always be
as they consist of love

©RoseGirl2022

All The Same

The sun rises
and the sun sets
it’s another day
he sings another song,
sleeps another sleep
Is it all the same?

And she stares at the sky
from her bed
it’s another day
she cries another tear,
dreams another dream
Far away
Is it all the same?

Or does love grow
and heal
beyond the days
beyond what they
can see?

©RoseGirl2022

Light Booster

The summer solstice sun
burns bright in the sky
and I drink it in
to quench my thirst
for you

©RoseGirl2022

What My Silence Means

My silence only means
I’m fighting to open
I’m fighting to close
Help me to find my voice
in the darkness
I’m dying inside
I’m trapped,
I’m broken
Fear wants to run away
I want nothing more than
to connect
But can’t reach your hand
Hear my screaming silence
through the walls
and love me

©RoseGirl2022

The Island

As I swim in rough waters
lend me your hand
to pull me to the island
of a peaceful, timeless Self
where waves cannot come

©RoseGirl2022

Almost

The moon almost full
The day almost done
And before I fall asleep
I think a last thought of you
and then, you’re almost here

©RoseGirl2022

Morning Dreams

The sun that shines
through the bedroom window
caresses me softly
and wakes me up
to yet another sweet dream
with you

©RoseGirl2022

A New Poem

Hope is the white
of the paper
that after
the last word is written
still holds space
for there’s always
a new poem to write

©RoseGirl2022

You Know

When pain and fears come by,
A head that almost explodes
But you know
there’s something
greater than that
You know
that there is love

©RoseGirl2022

Silent Times

In silent times
we say
the most

©RoseGirl2022

Meaning

When the sun sets
I search for words
to cross my lonely world
to reach your shore
All I find are just a few letters
empty shells that don’t say
anything at all
but can your hands on me read
can you feel in me
unsaid meaning

©RoseGirl2022

Touched By The Light

Maybe I just want to close
close stories, close curtains
close pain
but a rosebud that has been
touched by the light
can do nothing other than
open

©RoseGirl2022

If The Sun Touches Her

And if the sun
touches her,
the rose slowly
opens her bud

Vulnerable she is
without her shields
of protection
But even with
open heart
open mind
she isn’t defenceless

as the beauty
that radiates from within
holds her upright

©RoseGirl2022

I Would

If I could write you now
I would write you
thousands of stories
on things seen, dreamt
or felt
I would write you miles
of poems
a dance of words
or I would just write you
a kiss

©RoseGirl2022

Where To Find Me

And if you can’t see me near
if you can’t hear me, can’t read me
then I’m even closer,
find me within

©RoseGirl2022

Teach My Skin

You say that all is well
even if you’re not near
but my skin doesn’t seem
to know the difference
between untouched
and gone for good
Can you teach it
to hold your embrace
in its cells
so it can already feel
your return

©RoseGirl2022

Alright

It’s gonna be alright
The sun is shining
Birds are singing
Nothing is lost
All will be found

But why then
do tears keep falling
from my eyes

©RoseGirl2022

Whatever You Leave

And you leave and leave and leave
You leave places, countries
and people
And I didn’t even have a chance
to say goodbye
is it because whatever you leave
in fact, you never leave me

©RoseGirl2022

Where Love Doesn’t Stop

I wish I could keep you here
in my land
the idea of being near
even if my hands
cannot touch you
But does it matter
where you are
if matter doesn’t matter
if love doesn’t stop
at the borders of sight
at the borders of land
not even at the borders
of our heart

©RoseGirl2022

New Moon Solar Eclipse

Darkness all around us
like a heavy blanket
no moon, no sun
And it creeps into
bones and thoughts
until we realise
that we are the ones
that bring in the light
