If it all feels so broken
and you wonder
how it can ever be fixed
know that even if things
broke into a thousand pieces
love is always whole

Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
If it all feels so broken
and you wonder
how it can ever be fixed
know that even if things
broke into a thousand pieces
love is always whole

Imagine a world
where the ocean
is not between us
and does not divide
but is around us
and unites
to hold us both
©RoseGirl2021
And although
you can always
live and see my world
through my eyes
feel it through my heart
and follow
my footsteps
in my images and words
I wish you could see it
with your eyes,
I wish you could
make your footsteps
next to mine
and find your own words
in my world
to make it ours
©RoseGirl2021
And I find my breath
through aches and tears
find myself
and thus find you
To know that every time
the breath falls
it will rise again
and there’s always
a next, new breath,
there’s love
to pick me up
©RoseGirl2021
When the soldiers
of pain
occupy my head
I don’t fight
but retreat
to stay safe
with you
inside my heart
©RoseGirl2021
Wherever I go
Whatever I do
I always take you with me
as I carry you preciously
and dearly inside of me
©RoseGirl2021
I open my mind
and break free from
limiting thoughts
and beliefs
so my heart has
more space
to fly up with you
©RoseGirl2021
There’s always
a new year
a new day
a new breath
a new start
for those
who believe
in love

As severe aches turn her night
into a harsh battlefield
witnessed only by the full moon
She whispers, she smiles
‘I love you’s’ to him
through her tears
for love is still invincible
©RoseGirl2020
Migraines numb
the mind and body
but they never numb
the heart
©RoseGirl2020
I watch the light
of the full moon
dance on the water
the way the thought of you
lightens and moves me
through the darkest nights
©RoseGirl2020
Outside authorities
tell us what to do
how to behave
what to avoid
what is allowed
and what is forbidden
they make rules
and restrictions
But the only authority
to obey and to follow
is that of your heart
where the love inside of you
will lead your way
©RoseGirl2020
Do not search for me
in my words,
in my pictures,
in your dreams or
in your memories
but tune in
to your heart
where past, present
and future
melt together
to find me there
with you
©RoseGirl2020
It’s when the day
has already started
but my head
is still in darkness
that the dawn is found
in a sweet wake-up call
the moment I feel
our hearts connect
©RoseGirl2020
Lying in my bed I listen to
the storm that howls
and rages around the house
and inside my head
in the form of migraines
and disturbing thoughts
while I find the eye of it
in my heart where love
peacefully resides
in harmony with you
©RoseGirl2020
I don’t want the day to start
but I do want the night to finish
as I only want to be in the space
between day and night
between what is gone
and what will come
to float outside of tears,
outside of time
where our love is
©RoseGirl2020
When I go to sleep
all that awaits me
to keep me company
is an I miss you
©RoseGirl2020
No matter how dark,
how cold and silent
the night now,
even if nothing in me
dares to believe
in anything
no more
it’s the Christmas star
of our love
that guides me
and that keeps me
believing in us
©RoseGirl2020
Silent night
Holy night
The thought of you
Feeling you
Whatever may be absent
Love is here
©RoseGirl2020
Christmas isn’t meant
to spend isolated
but Christmas is meant
for you and me
to be together
©RoseGirl2020
At the end of the day
at the point when
the moon rises
and the sun sinks
and they,
he and she
meet halfway
eye to eye
on the horizon
he reaches out his light
to touch her
and she reaches back to him
the moment
of their lovemaking
©RoseGirl2020
When it all just sucks
and I’m tired and done
I don’t want anything
more than,
I don’t want to be anywhere
but in your arms
©RoseGirl2020
When numbers
on the clock
and calendar
harmonize and mirror
two swans in union,
two becoming one
in love
©RoseGirl2020
As Saturn and Jupiter
are conjunct tonight
and shine together as one
as the long-awaited Christmas star
to bring a message
of hope and love
at the Winter Solstice,
the darkest day of the year,
go up with me into the heavens
we cross the ocean between us
and meet halfway
to have our own cosmic kiss
©RoseGirl2020
When my head is tired
and aching
and I cannot clearly think
and find words
then it’s time
to only feel
to feel you
and feel so much,
vast, high, poetic and deep
into what we feel
when we feel each other
©RoseGirl2020
Here in this town time seems to fade
as memories whisper to me
in images,
in eyes that find each other
in arms that embrace
We left our traces
in all the towns we’ve been together
where our hearts once met
and made electricity
those places still light up
and mark the map
©RoseGirl2020
No matter the labels
others put on you
with how many stars
they review you
we’ve seen
the innumerable stars
in each other’s eyes
that no one
can give or can take from us
as they are lit
by the love in our heart
©RoseGirl2020
At the end of the street
when night falls
the moon rises above
the church tower
that with its cross
points sacredly at it
as if to show me
the way to you
is to look up
and let the moon
bring our gazes
together
©RoseGirl2020
Do not search for words
but let them come to you
Do not let your eyes
wander restlessly
and seek him
desperately
in the outside world
But turn them inward
as there,
in your heart
all that you seek
will find you
©RoseGirl2020
In the evening silence
I hear the clock
ticking away
all our yesterdays
as my heart beats
to our timeless love
©RoseGirl2020
It can rain in many ways
Rain can fall short and heavy
or it can fall long and soft
but enough to make you drown
Ice cold or bittersweet
light, grey or stormy
The sun can shine in many ways
it can burn hot, ecstatic
gently comforting or tingling
And although a cloud
can try to cover it
it will never fade
but always shine on
as the hope, the inner knowing
within the rain
©RoseGirl2020
When I stand on the edge
of the abyss
and I begin to fall deep
as I spiral down
into self-doubts and fears
I turn my face up to look
at stars and moon instead
to find my wings
and fly there with you
©RoseGirl2020
When she tries to run away
from the dark
tries to hide
to cover her eyes
but wherever she goes
wherever she looks
back or forward
it all seems so dark,
she forgets that
she has nothing to fear
for she has light in her heart
she only needs to shine love brightly
and then the dark will run away
from her
©RoseGirl2020
Fly with the speed of thought
across the ocean
and lie here with me in my arms
feel me all around you
and rest
Rest in the knowingness
that we don’t need to fear or
to struggle
we don’t need to do or
to achieve anything
but we only need to be
in love
©RoseGirl2020
Nightmares create a hell at night
but within them
surrounded by their stormy waters
I’m on an island
where I create my heaven with you
©RoseGirl2020
Love is so simple
it only needs
you and me
©RoseGirl2020
My words
are my fingers
with which I write poetry
all over your body
to honour with my art
the art that you are
©RoseGirl2020
Get up warrior,
coos the dove
on the roof
near the window
Do not focus
on what is absent
Focus on what you have
in your heart
’cause there
you have love
you have him
you have you
you have the whole world
©RoseGirl2020
After a night of little sleep
the dawn comes with
aches and rain
and doesn’t beat the dark
but in the end love will
make the sun return
©RoseGirl2020
When ‘I miss you’
makes a lot of noise
at night
and keeps me out of
my sleep
I cover my ears,
cover my thoughts
to listen to the voice
of love inside
and let it fill me
with ‘I believe’
©RoseGirl2020
Once when they first met,
she caught a dream in his eyes
A dream that never leaves her
even when she woke up
and saw truth all around her
then, she started
to dream the dream
the most
©RoseGirl2020
I drive on an endless road
all the way from the east
to the west
through the vastness and beauty
of the countryside
until the ugliness of the port
of Rotterdam appears
And I watch the wiper wipe rain
from the windshield
as my eyelids blink away tears
from my eyes
I let love wipe worries and fears
from my heart
so I have again clear view
of you and me
©RoseGirl2020
And with the ink
of my heart
I write you
a love letter
that, by a blown kiss
instantly travels far
yet stays so close
Its words invisible
to the eye
but readable
to your heart
©RoseGirl2020
The moments that I feel
joy, love, anger or fear
The moments that I feel
sad, relieved or lonely
I go to my heart
to connect with you
as you are part of me,
part of my heart
every feeling
I share it with you
©RoseGirl2020
As life on earth feels
so dark and painful
and an ocean has split
the land of lovers in two
the dawn draws a path
of light in the sky
to walk all the way
from me to you
©RoseGirl2020
