And in the stormy,
wild waters of fear
I sail on the solid ship
of our love with you
as we find the calm,
find the faith
in its built-in compass

©RoseGirl2021

Like meerkats that stand up,
look around, alert
we always pay attention
to a long distance sound
as we hear each other’s
silent call
to come home

©RoseGirl2021

Holding you dearly
in my heart
with the door open
so you’re free
like a bird to fly out
to leave and come back
but you somehow always
prefer to stay

©RoseGirl2021

In all the people
I meet
I see that
they are not you

©RoseGirl2021

You’re my songbird
that sings at dawn
and that no matter
the darkness
I’m going through
always puts
a song of hope
in my heart

©RoseGirl2021

Here in my land
on the other side
of where you are
in the world
the grass isn’t greener
for the grass is fertile
only, where I am with you

©RoseGirl2021

I watch the river
dance onto the bank
Waves roll over the sand
forward and back
Water shimmers
and seems on fire
Water and earth
make love to each other
and merge
If you are the water
then I’m the sand
as I absorb
you in my core

©RoseGirl2021

In the middle of the night
In the calm after the storm
A battle with pain just won
Alone with stars and moon
Alone with my thoughts,
my heart and thus with you
I realize, how lucky I am
to be part of a whole
to be part of two

©RoseGirl2021

Hold my hands
in this dark night
and kiss
your soothing words
onto their lines
so I can read
what the future
holds for us

©RoseGirl2021

Lying in my bed,
gliding into the dark
among many
terrifying ghosts
that pop up in my mind,
I choose to have you
as a happy thought
instead

©RoseGirl2021

When nothing
seems to make sense
no more
I look at the stars
I look into my heart,
into the wisdom
of our love
to see a perfect
divine order

©RoseGirl2021

Whatever pain we are going through
whatever hell we witness
in the outside world
My love, we have a world together
behind our eyes
that expands beyond our skin
with every heartbeat
Where we live in each other,
share our dreams
and make the impossible
possible

©RoseGirl2021

Arms of love
can stretch so far
that they reach
across the ocean
to hold you

©RoseGirl2021

Some things
aren’t meant
to be written
but to be kept
in the heart
and to be
whispered
to you there
in secret

©RoseGirl2021

My thoughts move
in all directions
too fast for me
to catch them
but they somehow
always catch you

©RoseGirl2021

God gave me the eyes to see
through the bullshit in the world,
deep into the infinite truth
of loving you

©RoseGirl2021

You look unhappy, my love
Do you toss and turn
in your bed, tired
of all those miles,
the mountains that seem
fearful and unbridgeable

Close your eyes, my love
and have a dream that
will bring you to me
I’ll hold you, I’ll kiss you
And as we look
in each other’s eyes,
look into ourselves,
we remember our wings,
who we truly are and
what we’re here for
we remember the promise
that we together
are meant to fly

©RoseGirl2021

If every loving
thought of you
would make a star
then it would
never be dark

©RoseGirl2021

Woden thunders in the sky
It storms and it rains
And the world is on fire
and I stand in the midst of it
but don’t get burned
for I don’t fear the flames
as they only stir up
the fire inside
and make my love for you
burn brighter

©RoseGirl2021

Tears drop on the small screen
of an old iPhone
Fingers touch your face
Cold pixels harshly separate
Luckily the heart is warm
and knows no boundaries

©RoseGirl2021

Even if I don’t use
all these words
but I write
my poetry silently
my love, will you
understand
me?

©RoseGirl2021

Words can be misinterpreted
not be heard, twisted
or misunderstood
whereas the heart
always just listens to
what isn’t said

©RoseGirl2021

Within me it can be
as dark as the night
it screams, it rages
cries and despairs
But what brings in
the light
is a sun
greater than the earth
Loving you
that is greater than me

©RoseGirl2021

Amid all the judgments
in a world that makes
too much noise
we are in a silent movie
as our hearts talk
to each other wordlessly
we move inaudibly
to the soundtrack of our love

©RoseGirl2021

Even if I stand
all alone,
in the end
I always stand
with you

©RoseGirl2021

If a heart looks and longs
across the ocean
so much, that it almost breaks
it forgets, it has wings of faith
to fly and to always be with you

©RoseGirl2021

Panicky thoughts get into
a state of needing and lacking
Whereas the heart is having
it all

©RoseGirl2021

Sometimes I wake up with a start
in the middle of the night
My body, my thoughts that search
anxiously for you
All those thousands of miles of distance
piled up like a mountain between us
until the heart feels its way through
and love picks you up
to bring you instantly closer than close to me

©RoseGirl2021

At night the moon
whispers to me
how proud she of the sun
that he keeps shining
and rising
through clouds, fog
even in dark times
and then, I think of you

©RoseGirl2021

When words fail
waters rise high
and around us
storms push and pull
in the midst of all of it
let’s kiss
and anchor our lips,
our tongues
in each other
in fire, in passion
in pleasure
and celebrate love

©RoseGirl2021

In many ways
I can tell you
many things
but best is
to just feel it
in your heart

©RoseGirl2021

Although the day
looks grey
Love radiates
from within
in many colors

©RoseGirl2021

I may be not like all the others
with their perfect pictures,
perfect art
I’m like the wind
and blow my words
into a poem
without knowing in advance
how they will land

I’m not the others
but I’m me
Enough to fit
perfectly into your heart

©RoseGirl2021

Falling asleep
with the thought of you
is the best vehicle
to my dreams

©RoseGirl2021

Sometimes,
my words
keep silent
as they are
so much in awe
of you

©RoseGirl2021

I look up to let my eyes fly
along with birds
I sing a song
and let my fingers
dance on strings
I think of you and let poetry
well up in me
to find harmony
in chords, in words, in love
when in and around me
it seems a shaky mess

©RoseGirl2021

And I come home
after a strenuous day
I turn the key,
open the door
sit down, sigh,
think of you
and come home
to love

And then outside
there may be chaos
it may storm, rain
and thunder,
in my heart
I’m warm and safe
with you
