It may storm, snow, rain
or thunder outside
it may be dark and cold
But we know that
inside our hearts,
inside our love
there’s always the home fire
burning for us

©RoseGirl2020

And the rain pours and pours
It cleanses our heart and mind
But after so much rain
We let the sun of our love
shine bright from our chest now
to dry our tears
and make our own rainbows
as we roll out love’s colourful carpets
to dance on
that embrace and lighten the world

©RoseGirl2020

I take a shell in my hands
I once found on the beach of Portugal
A melancholic smile
on my face when I think
of the memories it contains
And I hold it against my ear
and hear it whisper the stories
I shared with you
every detail, all the laughter,
the adventures
but above all I hear the sound, the song
of our deep ocean of love

©RoseGirl2020

When the wind blows
in all directions
and takes down illusions
and sacred cows
My beating heart underneath
my hand tells me
the only thing left to trust
is love

©RoseGirl2020

How can I make the day work
when clouds are grey
and I don’t know what to do
How can I make the world
brighter
and make the difference
make the change

Is it by just loving you today
and all my tomorrows
And then that will be
my inner and outer sun

©RoseGirl2020

You’re the beautiful elephant
in the room of my mind
wherever I look
whatever I think
I can’t look past you

©RoseGirl2020

I can’t look into your eyes
to see the stars tonight
so I look up
to see them in the sky

How I miss you
A heart-wrenching longing
makes me grasp for the stars
my arm, my hand reaches out
for them
as if they all hold a piece of light
from you

But then love,
like a shooting star
pulls me back inward
and there I see your eyes again
and find my universe with you

©RoseGirl2020

My love, I’m always with you
as you are with me
If you sometimes feel lonely
and you cannot see
it’s because there’s too much noise
in your mind
and I cannot reach you
so keep still and go within
to feel me, to hear
my words of love and guidance

©RoseGirl2020

And what if time doesn’t exist
and things don’t happen chronologically
but there’s just one big now
and it all happens simultaneously,
I could jump timelines with you
into another reality
and would make today July 14th
the everlasting day
that our love finds freedom

©RoseGirl2020

Sometimes the now stands
in such a stark contrast to the past
The same number on the calendar
The same summer day
but a bright shining sun,
fireworks in the sky,
eyes that sparkled
when they met back then

And it’s cloudy and grey,
it’s raining today,
outside and inside of me
While my eyes restlessly
seek yours

Though there’s a knowing
there’s a feeling
that the sun from back then
is still there behind the clouds
and is strong enough
to beam its light
onto the future

©RoseGirl2020

I need a dream so bright
that it lightens my future
I need a dream so strong
that it carries me
out of the darkness
if I can’t go forward myself
I need a dream so big
that it is bigger than my fears
bigger than my aches
I need a dream so unwavering
that it believes in itself
and still stands
even if everything else
has fallen apart
I need a dream so enchanting
that it takes me to places far
and makes all of its content
come true
A dream so magical
that I just want to dream and
to dream and to dream
That’s when I dream
about me and you

©RoseGirl2020

When I’m so tired, so anxious
and hurt from the battle
as a warrior of my heart
fighting on the front line
for a truthful and
compassionate world for us
may I rest in your arms
may I be enough
even if I don’t fight

May it be enough
if I just breathe
and if I just love

©RoseGirl2020

Maybe all the fact checkers
better go fact-check themselves
’cause fact is, in the end
the only thing true is love

©RoseGirl2020

In a turbulent world
In a dark night
When there’s
so much noise
of thoughts, fears
and headaches
in me,
only in my heart,
in feeling you,
in loving you I find
my peace

©RoseGirl2020

And as we both
deeply feel, deeply know
what true love is,
we know that blaming and shaming
forcing and manipulating,
even if they say
it’s for the greater good
and out of love,
have nothing to do with that

©RoseGirl2020

And while the sun on your side
of the world shines brightly
and marks the day,
here on my side of the world
I watch it with its last strength
make a play of colours
before the dark of the night takes over
As if the sun is you
and reaches out to me in its longing
stretches its arms of light
across the ocean
to yet paint the sky for me
and make a wordless serenade

©RoseGirl2020

My fairy prince,
I don’t like the tale I’m in
The night is so dark
I’m lost in the woods
and fears, thoughts and aches
are waiting for me
like a big bad wolf

Can you give me
your magic kiss
to put me to sleep
and a second one
to wake me up again
in our real love’s
everlasting dreamland

©RoseGirl2020

Sometimes the best thing
you can do is to go out for a walk
to set things in motion
even if the weather is dreary
And then to just cry along
with the rain

©RoseGirl2020

If it all seems
impossible
then you have
to have faith
even more

©RoseGirl2020

I’m following
the stream
of my thoughts
to wash up
on the shore
of your arms

©RoseGirl2020

Sometimes my words
can’t find the paper
but get lost in the void
between heart and pen
leaving the white sheet
in front of me empty
to reflect that
in these moments
I miss you the most

©RoseGirl2020

I’m like a bee
that is always naturally
and irresistibly attracted
to the sweetness
of your heart

©RoseGirl2020

You’re always a bright
shining star
whether others may
recognize it or not
They may not look up
or they may not be
on the same frequency
as you are
and therefore cannot hear
the song of your heart

But that doesn’t say
anything about your light
how it illuminates the world
how it guides me to love you
every day even more

For he who has his heart full
of true love and beauty
is always a winner
and can never lose

©RoseGirl2020

When I lie in my bed
and stare into the dark
of the night
with nothing to look at
but my own heart
you are all I see

©RoseGirl2020

And if you stand up
speak your truth
and let yourself be seen
like a flower that grows
higher than the grass,
others can shoot at you
ridicule and shame you
but at least,
you can’t blame yourself
for you weren’t born
to just be like grass
you were made
to sing your own song
to show your own colours
to grow towards the light
and to follow your heart

©RoseGirl2020

When you were a child
and they bullied you
You had to run to escape
run for your life
You might have thought
you were alone
but you never were
for I held your hand
and ran with you
as fast as the wind
right by your side

©RoseGirl2020

And in the dark
I lie in my bed
Through the open window
I watch the night sky
And then the wind
blows over me
as if it brings
me a message
a gentle stroke of love
from you
And I reply
Through the open window
I send the wind back
across the ocean
to kiss and touch your skin
with love from me

©RoseGirl2020

Take my hands
read my eyes
and smile with me
We let all the stories
around us
just talk and scream
They do not really matter
for we know
we have a bigger
story to live:
the story of love

©RoseGirl2020

In the absence of words
in the silence of the evening
when the sun has not yet set
but outside rain falls
and dark clouds gather
so much is being said
between two hearts
that connect over distance
through love

©RoseGirl2020

Behind the eyes
where there are no boundaries
to those who see with the heart
where the mind is free
and we can go anywhere
and do anything
there, we see all
there, we always meet

©RoseGirl2020

I lay a hand on my heart
to feel the rhythm
of what is guiding me
to feel the movement of love,
touchable in my hand
To feel you
like music, like truth
like a feeling, a presence

And I cross skies,
oceans and time
as I let love expand
and hold you, hold us
in the radiance of my heart

©RoseGirl2020

And at night when the stars
start to shine
to weave their web of dreams
around me
and I look up to catch them
with my eyes,
my heart starts to yearn
for you even more
as if it reads
all our wishes, the prayers,
the story of fate written
on the starry ceiling

©RoseGirl2020

Whenever I drown
in my own cried river
of pain and sadness
it’s always the strong
thread of our bond,
the hand of love
that pulls me out

©RoseGirl2020

Some dates, some ache
some words
come back
in our awareness
to remind us
we have a love so great
that its light can heal time
can heal pain
and can rewrite words

©RoseGirl2020

There’s nothing
my eyes
long more for
than to dive deep
into yours

©RoseGirl2020

And if I would let pain write now
it would write a starless night
of fear
in which I can’t see, I’m not seen
A dark universe in which
I’m not even small
but nobody, nothing at all
It would write a flower
that doesn’t fit the field
that has the wrong colours,
and makes the wrong movements
in the wind

But if I would let love write now
it would write the sun and moon
together high above in the sky
The sun that shines upon the moon
to get her through the night
It would write a flower that fits
the heavens
and that perfectly fits love

©RoseGirl2020

Often, I’m the outsider
who observes,
sees deep
and like a cat,
walks her own path
outside the mass
Lucky though
to always be
inside your heart

©RoseGirl2020

My feet dance
My body moves
My lips smile
Just because
all the way from
across the ocean
they hear the music
of love

©RoseGirl2020

And if the noise
of the world,
the noise of our mind
gets loud,
we let the voice
of love sing
even louder

©RoseGirl2020

Oceans apart
A distance of
5000 miles
only showed
how close
you really are
to me

©RoseGirl2020

And if the night comes
with little sleep again
with fears that rise
dark and painful
with migraines
and thoughts that turn
themselves against me
will you shine your sun
to me
from your side of the world
to illuminate my night
and keep me safe and well
in the arms of love
so I can dream

©RoseGirl2020

A love poem came to me
but before I could grasp it
and bring it onto paper
it flew away
like a butterfly
but I don’t need
to chase to catch it
for nevertheless,
the butterfly will find
its way to you

©RoseGirl2020

You are so deep in me
where feelings run
deeper than oceans
where love resides
innocent and pure
where truth and wisdom guide
where you and me
are liquid and flowing
without skin, without borders
in an infinite embrace
There in the deepest
of my core
you have your home

©RoseGirl2020
