And if I would paint the world
with all the colours of love
I feel for you in my heart,
there would be no grey spot
no more

©RoseGirl2019

And I bring the darkness to the light
The old stories, the fears, the shadows
The ego capitalism, all the consumption,
the needing, the wanting
my worthless possessions,
my illusions, my person protections,
the expectations, the assumptions
I let go and release
to start all over on the white of a new page
and let only love write further our story

©RoseGirl2019

I am like a running deer
I run from my fears
I run from myself
and thus from you

I run from happiness
I run from the past
but then with
wide open eyes I run
into its headlights

Here in the middle of these woods
where I run from my shadow,
let me drink
from the sacred pool of love
and let me again find stillness

©RoseGirl2019

Thank you, my love
for who you are
for the light that you shine
in my heart
for the poetry you make
in my life
for this special bond that we have
the eternal love that we share
for you being beautifully you

©RoseGirl2019

My mind keeps telling me
that I am lost, that all is lost
It runs, fears and worries
in all directions
And creates a dark maze

Though I only need to go
where my heart is
’cause that’s where you are
that’s where love is
that’s where I can find myself
A bright open space
where I’ll never be lost

The night that we saw each other
in the Dutch countryside
When I stepped out of my car
with high heels
I stepped into the mud
Among the cows I wore
a chic dress
And you were so beautiful
and stylish in your suit

And although in that entourage
we were both the only ones
that were completely out of tune
we were perfectly in tune
with each other

©RoseGirl2019

You stand with your back
against a dartboard
As if you’re in the line of fire
And you expect life to throw
its arrows at you

But my darling,
cupido has already shot
the arrow of true love
right into the bullseye of your heart
so rest assured you’re protected
with love as your armour
you have nothing to fear

©RoseGirl2019

Show me all that is alive in you
Even if all seems dead and dark,
then show me that
Tell me more about your fears
of a grey Christmas
Images in hopeless black and white
Show me all the sadness
Flowers that are wilted and
a caged bird

Show me all, my darling
I’ll be your Christmas fairy
And I’ll blow the colours
and the magic back
into your inner world

©RoseGirl2019

Remember, my love
we are old souls
Infinite beings of light
We came here to
learn our lessons
by living our stories
as we have lived
many stories before

Although our path is hard
It’s never harder
than we can take
we’re equipped
with all that we need
we have each other
And all our pain
we carry it together
to transform it into
even brighter love

©RoseGirl2019

And she asks the angels
to look after him
to wipe away his tears
and bandage his wounds
to stand before him,
behind him and
everywhere around
to lighten his path
to hold him
and to do all
that she now
cannot do herself

©RoseGirl2019

I hold you against my chest
My arms harbour you
Even if all falls apart
In my heart, in love
you’re always safe
and secure from any storm

©RoseGirl2019

I send you one thousand kisses
so for every opportunity,
you’ll have a kiss in stock

Kisses to heal the wounds
in your heart
Kisses to celebrate your joys
Kisses to inspire
Kisses to warm you up
Kisses to calm you down

My kisses are multifunctional
multiple times usable
They get activated
by the power of thought

They have no additives
They are organic
as their only ingredient
is pure love

©RoseGirl2019

It may look like
the moon is not there tonight
but what no one can see
is that behind a curtain of clouds
she has her own heart-to-heart time
with her beloved, the sun

They exchange
She receives him deeply within
And as they dance silently
in devotion to each other
they make the seas move on earth
in undulating passion
of ebb and flow

©RoseGirl2019

And I take a breath
and pick you up
as I always pick you up
to fill me from the inside
with you
and to anchor in love

I pick you up
straight through all the fears
straight through the chaos
My breath find its way to you
to let you rise inside of me
to find back my strength

©RoseGirl2019

And if we were both
in a movie right now
Filmed by an all seeing eye
The watchers would see

A shot of me in the kitchen
while I cook a dinner
Staring, melancholic eyes
that try to find you
in my inner world

Perry Como’s song
‘It’s impossible’ plays
in the background
For it is impossible
not to think of you

Then a shot of you
in another scene,
another time zone,
another country
sitting in your chair
staring, melancholic eyes
that try to find me
in your inner world

Those two scenes
that play at the same time
on the same screen
that erase any distance
between us
Those watchers would see
infinite truth

©RoseGirl2019

The sea is wild
The waves almost seem violent
The way the water crashes onto us

But we have our solid raft
to hold on to
a strong foundation of poetry
and songs
to keep the hope alive
and to have courage
That always follows
the stream of our hearts

For no matter how dark the night is
and how loud the sea may rage
Love is always the strongest force of all
After every storm a calm will come

©RoseGirl2019

Pain is the shedding of skin
It is the caterpillar that dies
in his dark cocoon
to make room for the butterfly

Pain is to be physically
separated from you
Only to see that
in heart we’re never apart

It is stomach pain, headache,
sleepless nights that scream
to leave the old in the past
and let go to be free

Pain is questioning
what your soul whispers to you
It is resistance
as you fear the unknown
and you don’t want to hurt others

Pain is like squeezing contractions,
the movement of muscles to push out
and birth ourselves anew into our love

©RoseGirl2019

Only when
I’m completely myself,
I can love you completely

©RoseGirl2019

Oh sexy man in suit,
that dreamy smile
in your eyes says it all,
You think of the night ahead
You think of your lady in dress
You think of a dinner for two,
a dance floor to conquer
You think of fiery lips that kiss
You think of fiery hands that touch
You think of a suit and a dress
on the floor
You think of…. oh boy, oh boy

©RoseGirl2019

I embrace the you in me
I give you a thousand kisses
And hold you so tenderly
and lovingly in the arms
of my inner world
May the you outside of me
feel the warmth inside of him
of this inner hug

©RoseGirl2019

If you wonder who you are,
what your place is
in this world,
how to name yourself,
Then know, you are
your inner light
and you always have
your place
with me in love

©RoseGirl2019

And she said:

If you start a new chapter
am I still with you on the new page
Or do you leave me behind
in the grave of old stories
Buried in my own pain,
never to be read again
Is my existence erased,
who am I if I’m no one,
if I’m nothing
and don’t even have a name

And he said:

See yourself in me
With each part of myself that I
acknowledge, I acknowledge you
As I integrate all pieces,
I integrate you even deeper
So how can I not take you with me
into the lines of the new chapter
You don’t see you on the new page,
for while writing the book of life,
we’re holding the pen together

©RoseGirl2019

There are many things
I can think about
Each day a crowd of thoughts
bustles and pushes
to be thought by me

There are the worries
that always try to be first
The happy thoughts
that jump up and down
Big thoughts about big dreams
And little thoughts that are
unnecessary

On the screen of my mind
I can project the whole world
But among all those thoughts
playing out in my head each day
You’re my favourite thing
to think about

©RoseGirl2019

May the tears that flow
from my eyes be the ink
I write with

May all of our pain
be transformed
into the beauty of poetry

May each teardrop
be honoured in a word
A building stone
of our cathedral

May they wash away
the past, the old stories
to make room
for a new beginning

May our tears be
a testimony of perseverance,
a test of will and strength

May they flow abundantly
and make an ocean
to show the whole world
the greatness of true love

©RoseGirl2019

Every day I discover new ways
to love you
Another angle to love you from
A deeper layer, a different shade
A new facet of the diamond
Another point of view, a new light
Higher in the sky
Deeper in the earth
Diagonal, zig-zag
Upright and upside down
All those new ways to love you
make an infinite universe to discover

©RoseGirl2019

My dear music maker,
you make the music in my heart
You make the music in my poetry
You make the music in my life
And as you make me walk on music,
you even make music of me

©RoseGirl2019

There are no mistakes
on this journey of love
Every step taken was
needed to move forward
and to arrive
where we are right now

There is no right or wrong
As understanding comes
with experiences
Growth happens
when choosing new ways

For this love that is
much bigger than us
much bigger than our egos
can never be screwed up

©RoseGirl2019

We don’t need to become
a new person
or change into someone
we are not
But it’s about unlearning
all the programming,
all the beliefs and conditioning
that society, others, our brain
have put on us

To unlearn the fears to love
To unlearn the false characters
we played in order to belong
and be accepted
It is about undressing ourselves
from all the falsehood
and to dance freely
who we truly are

©RoseGirl2019

Wherever I may wander,
No matter how far
I venture out in the world,
I keep finding you
in my heartbeat
When my chest rises to inhale
Every time I Iift my pen to write
my poetry
When I Iift my feet to dance
When I close my eyes to dream
When I open them in the morning

Even when I fear I’ve lost for good
When I’m lost myself
I keep finding you
in all those little signs around me
that remind me of you
In Autumn, Winter, Spring
and Summer
Maybe, because I’ve never
lost you at all

©RoseGirl2019

Avalon is not an island far away
with an unreachable shore,
a myth that exists only in books,
idyllic romance once captured in tales
nor is it a dream that can only be dreamt

Its fruits can still be harvest anytime
Its enchanting magic is still there
Even if nobody believes in it
Avalon can be found every time
we cross the sea of our love
For at the place where our
naked hearts connect, lies paradise

©RoseGirl2019

To love you
in the deepest way
is to love
absolute truth

©RoseGirl2019

My mind can find many reasons,
many explanations, obstacles
theories and analysis
My mind likes to linger in the past,
to fear the future, to run in circles
It thinks that, to understand the facts
is to have control

But it’s only, when I sink into my heart,
when I feel you and feel the love
that has no beginning, no ending
that I truly and profoundly know
