Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
A Journey Of True Soul Love
Many lives we lived
And many times we died
and were reborn again
In different places
In different shapes
But we always made this promise
to meet on the other side
And to look for one another
In heaven or on earth
To find and to recognize
by the beat of our hearts
by the mirror of our eyes
by the knowing in our souls
For we are eternal lovers
And not even death or life
can tear us apart

The strong wind is coming
He came from the west
and crossed the ocean
to ashore Portuguese land
And the rain is falling
The branches are bending
All is in motion
The wind wants
and I want you
Be as the hurricane
And blow fiercely,
blow strongly,
blow loudly
your way here to me

There is a girl on the riverbank
And she waits for him
Her gaze longs
in the distance
There where the river flows
into the ocean
Far beyond her eyes can reach
But her heart knows where to look
She watches the ships that sail by
And counts time
While her tears drop one by one
into the water
The river carries them away
and brings them to the ocean
Far beyond her eyes can see
But her tears know where to flow

The rose of your dreams
that is given to you
Water her with tenderness
Shower her with words of love
every day
Embrace her with your light
Let her blossom in you, by you
Be her thorns and protect her
Sing her the song of your heart
Nourish her with gentle hands
and sweet touch
Like no one else
than you could do
And love her madly,
love her preciously
Look at her
She will feed herself by your gaze
As her beauty is meant
for your eyes only

I walk the path to your heart
And see the rivers of tears you cried
How the pain in your chest got fluid
and flowed from your eyes
I see you heart broken
and lost in a dark forest
All the dreams you dreamed
to keep your head up high
And you’ve been so lonely
Though there was this longing
A flame that somehow burns
inside your chest
and that kept you going
Your feet towards a horizon
but you couldn’t see
and you didn’t know
But you walked and you walked
And you looked and you hoped
You created, you laughed and you cried
Your heart so vulnerable
So easy to touch
So you took the stones
and you built a wall
No one could come close
no more
But you were lonely
and you still had your dreams
And I see your struggle,
I see your pain
Your tears a river
that flow from my eyes
As I walk the path to your heart
I walk the path to mine

Fragile are our hearts
Now love has awakened
them and has opened doors
The world outside is big
and the wind is blowing
in our face
But we can’t go back to sleep
no more
As we’ve heard the call to love
And we’ve seen
the truth in our eyes
We have a lot to give
and have a lot to gain
Fragile are our hearts, yes
But stronger do we grow
as fragile hearts are
of those who are brave
enough to face the wind
since they are rooted
in love
©RoseGirl2018
The moonless night is dark and cold
Lonely are the hours without light
When everything is black
With no blanket to cover old wounds
But my dear, do not fear
Although the moon seems lost
Just look at the stars
and know, in the dawn we’ll find
our colours back
©RoseGirl2018
How can you ever lose me
as you have all of me
You have my eyes
that wish to see you
You have my lips
that want to kiss you
You have my hands
that write about you
and that want to stroke
every part of your skin
You have my words
that embrace all yours
even the words you have not yet spoken
You have my mind
that thinks all the time about you
You have my time
as it is consumed by you
You have my always
as it has been always you
And if you would ever lose me
I would find me back with you
©RoseGirl2018
I could shout from the rooftops
And let the birds sing it
Send my messengers around
Let the sun declare it in the sky
And let the air hum it, vibrate it
Let the flowers bloom it
Bring it into the world
by words of poetry
by dancing footsteps
So everyone will know
That I love you
And how much my heart bursts
©RoseGirl2018
Everywhere you are
Wherever I go
You are always around,
my fairy man
I am always with you
You are always within
No days without you
No place where I cannot find you
Your presence surrounds me,
infuses me
As the most beautiful poem
sung by the wind
And written in our hearts
©RoseGirl2018
Your pure heart
is as the white shell
in the sand
A treasure to cherish,
gifted by the sea
to share its wealth
and its beauty
with the land
It is
the other part
that fits
my white shell
and once together
makes it complete
©RoseGirl2018
Here on a Dutch island
the sun is shining
again now the storm
has passed
I build a bridge of words
to your heart
and craft my float of love
And with each of my steps
I make little earthquakes
So even you on your island
far away and overseas
will be moved by my heart
©RoseGirl2018
The Dutch sea seems endless
Emptiness stretches
in front of me
Waves come my way
And then suddenIy
I stand with my feet
in the water
And I could drown now
In my longing for you
In my fears of a love
we do not control
Take my hand and please
dive now with me
What else could we do
The water is everywhere
And we both lost our smiles
Before the sea takes us
Let us take the sea
©RoseGirl2018
Are you awake, just like me
Do you stare into the dark
And let clouds pass by
through your head
Do you see mountains
arising, too big to climb yet
And then you dream
with your eyes wide open
about clear blue skies
and you have this burning longing
inside your heart?
I am awake, just like you
And I stare into my dreams
And if I stare long enough
I see you above the mountains
in a clear wide sky
flying there with me
©RoseGirl2018
And in a field of waving grass
A flower grows
First yet shyly though
As she learns to dance
to the sighs of the wind
She discovers her gift
to blossom
Graciously she rises,
waves her way up
and opens her heart
to let the rays of light
come in
To reunite
and to merge
with her beloved, the sun
©RoseGirl2018
We vanish out of sight
Secretely we leave the page
We hide outside the storyline
Build our own castle
Out of reach of waves,
of storms and of rainfall
And even out of reach
of our own flaws
and crazy ways
©RoseGirl2018
I seek you
in the glowing warmth of my heart
I bathe in the depths of the waters
where our hearts touch
And embrace you, dive into
a bond, stronger than
all what is outside of us
©RoseGirl2018
I dance with the fire inside
A flame that burns for you
And even the October rain
And the waters
flowing from my eyes
Can’t make it fade away
©RoseGirl2018
Grandmother,
Can we go back in time
When you were still here
When all was fine
As long as I was with you
When you saw me
always pure, always beautiful
How you adored me,
bought me candy
Told me sweetest words
and would like to give me
everything I wished for
Can I sit with you, grandmother
Can I lay my heavy head on your lap
Will you stroke my hair
With tender, wrinkled hands that smell of smoke
And then tell me that it will be fine,
’cause that’s my wish
That you love me, that he loves me
-please tell me all your sweetest candy words
That you still see my inner diamond shine
And then pray my candy man
here back with me
©RoseGirl2018
Ugly words
Ugly story
Poetry left
and beauty
disappeared
Just as you
and Summer did
My heart is squeezed
I cannot breathe
The greatest pain is
to be without you
And to exist
withhout existing
©RoseGirl2018
Oh my man of beauty
How tired are my feet
How exhausted are my thoughts
As my dreams keep me out of my sleep
And my fears wake me up
I’ve been so strong
I’ve stood my ground
But now my legs are shaking
And with the tears
hope flows out of my eyes
In this dance we are doing
Can I fall into your arms
Will you take the lead
And I will follow
Wherever you may go
When you’ll do your steps
My feet will then do mine
Let me lean on your chest
Let me rest in your heartbeat
And slowly but steady
we’ll make the dancefloor ours
©RoseGirl2018
Once there were a king and a queen
that had seen the light
in one another’s eyes
But then the light got too bright
to look at
And the dark appeared even darker
So the king rode his horse and left
the kingdom
And went on a quest
to defeat the dragons
While the queen freed the land
from fears and turmoil
But her heart kept burning and longing
For her king to return to their sacred land
His ring still on her finger
Every day she climbed the tower
to look for a sign on the horizon
And so the days passed by
And the queen cried her tears
She fought her battles
She grew stronger
But she never gave up
on the one who belongs
to her heart
And then one day in the distance
a man comes closer
It is the day the queen has prayed for
Ever since the day
the king left the kingdom
And the flag is raised
And the fire is burning
The glasses are filled
Happy tears are flowing
And as their eyes find back
one another’s light
They merge in each other’s arms
Their flames shine as one
and light up the kingdom
©RoseGirl2018
We don’t need any words
Since our eyes have seen
And our hearts know
And then our feet
will find their way
Our lips will taste
Our hands will reach
their home
©RoseGirl2018
I climb on my cloud
And I look down
If I can find you somewhere, my fairy man
Are you already coming
Are you doing fine
Is it your heart
that still weights too heavy
That prevents you from flying
Are you too wounded
from the battle?
Trust your wings, my fairy man
And I will trust your heart
I’ll send birds and angels
to accompany you
So you can climb here on my cloud
very soon
©RoseGirl2018
Lay your hand on my heart
Feel how it beats for you
How it pulses love
Through my veins
And how it’s keeping me alive
and strong
I lay my hand on your heart
And I make a vow
To always be at your side
You will never be alone
no more
And if you feel lost
I know how we can find you
If you feel you want to hide
Please hide yourself in me
And if you have worries
I will blow them from your mind
And if you feel scared
You can seek a shelter in me
And if you want to run
I’ll hold your hand
And we’ll run together
For the hills or even further
Lay your hand on my heart
I lay my hand on yours
And then just feel
©RoseGirl2018
I ride my bike
Under a clear, nightly sky
The stars surround me
The moon is behind me
She’s got my back
And I am weightless
As I glide
effortlessly
over the roads here
in this town
I almost fly
It’s like I go to you now
And I could cycle
miles and miles and miles
Towards the west
A smile on my face
Stars before my eyes
Is it the moon
Or is it you
That fires me
Through the Dutch
nightly sky
©RoseGirl2018
She is on her own ground
In her house of poetry
And she leaves the light on
For him to find his way home
He can find her
In her house of poetry
Where she writes further
the story about her and him
©RoseGirl2018
I want to shout at you,
scream at you
throw sharp words
of raging red
to crumble down
the wall around your heart
For what you have said
Most for what you haven’t
For all of my hurt
For all of my sadness
But as I love every piece of you
So much, so true, so deep
I even love
the wall around your heart
And please,
will you still love me
in all of my colours
even when I show you
my angry part
©RoseGirl2018
And into the infinite well of creation I tap
Shimmering water of gold in its purest form
between your heart and mine
A boundless flow of love
and light
You are there, at the source
My muse, my king of true love
In your eyes I see
the origin of every word I write
It always starts with you
Since you breathe
rivers of inspiration into me
Giving me the wings to fly high
And the courage to dive deep
into what is true
©RoseGirl2018
We will meet
in the space without words
In the place, where our hearts connect
In the inevitability of our fate
In the wandering of our thoughts
In the realm of dreams
In the kisses we imagine
In our wishes upon a star
In our eye gazes we remember
In our embraces we still feel
In the prayers we are sending
We will meet
Again and again
Or is it more about staying
And in fact,
are you always here with me
©RoseGirl2018
Where does our love come from
Where do we go
And then why, oh why
And how and when?
But perhaps,
we do not need to know
We love as we love
We love now
And now is all we have
And we dance and we sing
and we cry and we laugh
But we love
Yes we love
How we love
We will love
Nothing more
Nothing less
we need to know
©RoseGirl2018
Sunday morning, sacred moment
When the church bells start to ring
My heart starts to sing
And then, I love you even more
Sacredly I am yours
©RoseGirl2018
My dear, come to me
Here in my rose garden
I wait for you
Under the rosebush
The door of my heart is open
To the one that suits the rose
Anytime I will receive you
Velvety and sweet-scented
I invite you here in my rose garden
And offer you the rose of my heart
Find your home here in my arms
©RoseGirl2018
My heart cries out for you
Over the mountains, down into the valleys
Over the rivers and the seas
Over the towns and the villages
Over the woods and the fields
Through thunder and lightning
Through the rain, the storm
and through the clouds
And then I listen to the echo
that rolls back over the mountains,
the valleys and overseas
Or do I hear your heart
that is crying out for me?
©RoseGirl2018
There are storylines around us
Fantasies and fairy tales
Knight legends and dragon stories
Foggy dreams and screaming nightmares
We have a you and we have a me
We are the actors, the creators
the narrators, the story keepers
But the only thing that is real
is this love
©RoseGirl2018
I’ve seen your beautiful flower within
Nothing you can do to hide it
I’ve seen your golden wings
So don’t think
that you are trapped
I’ve seen your inner diamond
How it pulses and radiates
I’ve seen your purest colours
So don’t serve me just your grey
I’ve seen into your depths
So no need to show me your mask
And no need to show me
something other than
the beautiful flower that you truly are
©RoseGirl2018
I see every hour of the night,
every corner of the dark,
every of my restless thoughts haunting me
Since you are in every corner of my sleepless dreams
in every corner of my heart
in every of my tears
You are in every corner of the page
in every of these words
in every of my prayers
You are in every corner of the night
and you’ll be
in every of the dawns
in every of my new days
©RoseGirl2018
At least,
the stars are still in the sky tonight
Our names still written in it
At least,
I still have my hands
and pen to write
and sad poems flowing
from within
At least,
we still have our hearts
although they’re aching
and incomplete
At least,
we still have these
shared tears
©RoseGirl2018
The rose has opened itself
And shows its inner core
Unfolds its process of blossoming
No thorn that can protect no more
The wind strikes its petals
Bees circle around
And even though,
she could break now
Her heart scattered in pieces
She doesn’t close
but let the sun come in
Let its rays caress her
And tenderly they whisper:
Don’t lose hope
©RoseGirl2018
A curtain of teardrops before my eyes
And I fall into Fall again
The same pain,
the same cycle
So close and yet
so far away
Bonded in sadness
we are
connected in our broken hearts
And now it’s my turn
to wait for the sun
to show its face
again
©RoseGirl2018
Sunglasses are sheltering my eyes
and covering my
wounded heart
I don’t want to see
don’t want to be seen
by eyes
other than yours
©RoseGirl2018
I once thought
that there was an ocean between us
A wall that divided common ground
And that I needed to send ships
and airplanes
to reach you on the other side
of where I was
But now I know
there never was an other side
and no other place
And if there is an ocean between us
there is only an ocean of love
©RoseGirl2018
Lead me to a place
I’ve always known
Into the haven of your heart
Anchor me with your eyes
Secure me in your arms
Warm me with your fire
And take me home
©RoseGirl2018
I see you with my eyes closed
I feel you with my skin untouched
I dream you when I’m awake
And hear you in unspoken words
I taste you with my lips unkissed
I receive you when I breathe
I dance you in the steps I take
And embrace you with my arms unfilled
I meet you in my heartbeat
©RoseGirl2018
They were not from here
They came floating
from above the clouds
They went through heaven
and through hell
And then turned
the world into gold
As they danced their ways
sang their words
and radiated
their hearts
crafted their story
drew their melodies
and painted
their songs
As they understood the art
to love
A love,
that was not from here
that went through heaven
and through hell
but that always understood the art
to connect their hearts
