Your Heart Will See

And he said:

Can you trust me
as much as you love me
Can you trust me
so truly that even,
when you don’t see me,
your eyes won’t look for me
They won’t go after me
Your eyes will let me be free
and won’t try to capture
For you know,
when I’m not before you
I’m behind you to hold you
When your eyes cannot see me
then your heart will see

The Antidote

The rose drinks from the poison
of self-doubt
She shrinks and becomes very small
Her petals are hanging down
And all the demons laugh at her

There’s only one antidote to save her
She needs to look up
She needs to let the sun of true love
cleanse her from all the poison
in her mind, the fears in her stem
And then, the light of love
will make her grow again

Allowing

Throughout her life
she fought many battles
She grew strong like a tree
that stands on its own
and can’t be blown over
Yet, her heart remained
vulnerable like a blossom

Always, she carried a sword in her hand
Ready to protect and to fight
She was a warrior, a brave knight
And to have that precious sword
was often a matter of life and death,
her only means to survive

And now,
She stands before her beloved
and looks into his beautiful eyes
She sees the sun, the moon and the stars
She looks into the universe
She sees the earth
She sees all that he is
and hands over the sword to him
She allows him to hold it,
allows him to be the knight

Naked she is without her armour
She surrenders to him
and allows him to hold her
She sinks deep into his arms
softens and curls up
against his chest
as she trusts his strength,
trusts his arms to carry her
to the moon and back
and all over the world

Blue Tits

This afternoon three Blue Tits
came to visit me
They stayed for a while before
the window
and sang happily their songs

They say that the Blue Tit is
a good omen
as it represents trust, true love
faith, loyalty and good luck

The male bird creates the nest
and then attracts a female to it
through its singing
Like you, my love, once enchanted me
and sang me right into your arms

Blue Tits are loyal
and committed to each other
for the rest of their lives
Sometimes they fly out
though they never fly far
and they always return home

Lessons

When we say goodbye to old times,
When challenges, experiences,
lessons come up
When the energies are intense,
Know that those are only there
for us to grow and expand
and to help us shift deeper
into our hearts, into this love,
as we walk this journey together
every battle won, every truth spoken
every time we stand up,
every choice for love
is a step closer to home

If The Moon Could Talk

If only the moon could talk,
She would tell you about
all the unwritten poems
that I’ve gazed up into the sky,
all the ‘I love you’s’ that
I’ve whispered into the dark,
all the prayers, all the wishes
that I’ve sent out into the night

Or maybe, she would only smile
and would tell you, every time
she appears to be seen by your eyes,
by the brightness of her glow
how much you are loved

Halloween

It’s Halloween inside
The skeletons come out of the closet
Fears take me on a spooky ride
Phantom thoughts show their teeth
Vampires knock on the door
Old wounds are being ripped open
Old memories resurrect from their grave
Shadows come to haunt me
But your voice sings a sweet lullaby
and in your arms I’m safe
as I let love conquer it all

My Grounding

I feel you growing in me
You get stronger
Your roots grow deeper
and deeper into my base
and ground me within myself
When I tend to fly too high
When I float on emotions
When a hyena tries to grab me
You are a tree that I can lean against,
that I can trust to have my back,
that gives me the strength
to stand up for myself
and that always protects me
with undying love

Neither Of Us Is Left Behind

Two silhouettes run, dance
together
through the dark
towards the light
As they hold hands
they almost seem to fly

They want to be on time
to catch the dawn,
catch their dreams
and live their love
For they know
Now is the moment
Not yesterday,
not tomorrow

But right when they think
that they will make it
and there is nothing left
that holds them back
on their way,
she falls down to the ground
and finds herself lost

She starts to fear
The golden sun will soon rise
Its rays will show the doorway
Did he run further on his path
without her
Did he leave her behind
in the dark
Is he ahead
She screams for him:
My love, where are you!!!!

But then she hears his voice
right next to her:
I’m here, I’m always here
By your side, where I belong
Give me your hand
We can only reach
the horizon together
On the path towards the light
Neither of us is left behind

Get Up And Dance

When I’m down
on the ground
Take my hand
and pull me up again
Let’s just continue to dance

I’ll take your hand
and lift you up again
Let’s jive, let’s twist,
let’s shake
let’s free dance

As long as we dance
there is nothing
to worry or to fear
The dance floor is all ours
Our hearts have the lead

And it doesn’t matter
how many times we fall
if we just get up
and dance on
to the love tunes
of the soul

Rocket Science

Since this love is rocket science
Do not think about it too much
Do not try to understand
But trust what has been entrusted
to you by the universe
and make your rocket ready
for take off
Outside the earthly gravity
I’ll meet you among the stars

Storm Of Love

I don’t want to stop these words that are blowing from my pen and that just want to come out and fly, whirl fiercely and move the air They don’t want to be interrupted by a dot or any punctuation Not even give space to a white line in between or make room for any interpretation A strong breeze that blows all ego fears over With one breath one stroke of the pen they make a tornado They take the stage take the whole paper It is no rage no thunder but a storm of love

I Recognize You

They can put you in a crowd
and place hundreds of people
around you
They can give you another look,
and cover you up
They can blindfold me,
Yet, I would recognize you
by the beating of your heart,
the whisper of your soul,
by magnetic love
Like I’ve found and recognized you
Lifetime after lifetime

The Dutch Tulip

The Dutch tulip moves in the wind,
dances around in the fields
and makes them look colourful
People from all over the world
come to look at her
Though her heart only belongs
to the American flower, the rose
When she and he meet each other
their scent, their colours merge
Dutch grounding and the
American dream blend,
as they make the fields burst
orgasmically into Spring

Where We Reside

In the soft bed of our hearts,
the gentle cradling of love
In dancing poetry
In sparkling magic
In the beauty of roses
In blooming desire
In melodic, touching songs
In the shine of the moon,
the stars and the sun
In always, eternal and forever
In this moment
That’s where we reside together

©RoseGirl2019

Spotlights

Many eyes look at me
But do you see that my eyes
only look at you

Do you see that they radiate
poetry just because they look at you

Do you see that the spotlights
shine on you and me
and that true love makes the show
go on and on

©RoseGirl2019

United

I felt you so strongly here with me
as though we both had stepped
through the veil
and our bodies touched
You wrapped a cloak of love
around my shoulders and pulled me
against your chest

It was more than a daydream
More than a wish or a desire
I saw by knowing, by feeling it
And in all those deep feelings
of love, passion, peace, harmony,
joy and laughter
I am united with you

©RoseGirl2019

I Sing My Song

And I sing my song
A song of a love so deep,
so eternal, so wide, so far
that it reaches out to you
to wherever you are

It makes the sky shower
glitter and glamour,
The heavens are my stage
The stars make a staircase
that brings me to your heart

Will you join
in a duet, in a harmony
Will you sing back your heart
up into the heavens and
right here next to me

Two voices that
find each other
in a grand finale
of true love

Moulin Rouge Finale ~
Come what may…
I will love you until my dying day

The Wind Blew Them Together

And on the shore
she looked out over the sea,
she dreamed,
she flew on the wind
and danced her poetry
like a lighthouse
so that her songbird
that had flown out
from the other shore
could navigate his way to her

And she danced for days
and days became weeks
Weeks became months
Until time didn’t count no more
for all that counted was love

The songbird had a tough journey
through stormy weather
though he was determined
for what kept his wings,
his heart beating was love

And on a day out of time
the songbird saw land
and there he found her
or did she find him
as the wind of love
blew them together

The Chicken Or The Egg

Sometimes, it’s hard to know
what comes first
is it the feeling of love
or the thought of you

For when I think of you, I feel love
And when I feel love,
I have you on my mind
which makes me love you even more
And then the thought of you
becomes even stronger

So maybe, you’re both
the chicken and the egg
at the same time

Tarzan And Jane

It is a jungle in my mind
and I lie in the bushes
in my safari outfit
looking through binoculars
to observe what’s going on

Monkeys jump up and down
and back and forth
Elephants stomp on positive thoughts
Snakes try to poison me with fear
And a cacophony of birds
drown out the voice of my heart

Shall I Iift my hunting rifle
to destroy them once and for all
and restore my peace of mind
Or is it useless anyway

No, I have a better idea
Instead of fighting the wild life
Let’s play with it and make friends
My love, take your clothes off
Let’s swing through the jungle
of our minds
as Tarzan and Jane

©RoseGirl2019

We Stay Strong

It’s strange, how fast a sea can change
Calm waters can turn into a storm
Sometimes it’s a danger
that I can’t see coming
Was it a thought, a memory
and then the missing you
that came over me like a tidel wave
Heartache that made me drown
But I seek your hand, my love
to pull me out
That’s what we do for each other
We stay strong, my love
For it takes the two of us
to keep the ship afloat

©RoseGirl2019

Dancing Kisses

The sea seems to dance today
Waves roll loudly and happily
through my mind
and silence the inner noise
My feet, my heart feather light
as I dance along
With every step I Ieave
a footprint of love in the sand
I blow hundreds of kisses
across the sea
They dance on the wind
above the water to your shore
Will you catch them?

Only A King

Only a king can recognize a queen
Only he has the key
to a queen’s heart
And once he has opened it
Only he can touch deep, can caress it
and make it long for him

Only a king can make a queen dance
Only he can make her rise
above herself and make her write
poem after poem

Only a king can make a queen feel
at home in his arms
Only his eyes can enchant
and gaze their magic into her
Only a king is strong enough
to be always by her side
Only a king knows who his queen is
Only he can love her
like no one else can

Authenticity

I don’t write with the aim to get likes
to get fans or followers
I don’t adjust my lines,
adjust my colours to what others
may wish to see

But I write because I write,
because I am, because of love
Like a flower I bloom
my poems into the world
And simply do what I’m made for

©RoseGirl2019

Milky Way

The moon is round and full
like a pregnant lady
She births her light
into the dark sky

My heart is a full moon of love
that births poems like stars
for you to look at
Little lights in the night
A milky way for you to follow
A spiralling path
that sparkles you home

©RoseGirl2019

Eau De Parfum

You are like eau de parfum
A breath-taking, sweet, gentle,
sensual scent
that is sprinkled on my heart
and that tingles on my skin
A delicate odor of spring flowers
that makes my butterflies
whirl up and go wild

Wherever I go,
there’s a cloud of you
around me
I breathe you in
You penetrate all of my pores
So that within and without
I’m immersed in my eau de parfum

©RoseGirl2019

Cycles

Look, my love,
the moon is almost full
Another cycle will end
But after every ending
There’s a new beginning
And so we dance
the seasons,
the moon cycles,
the wheel of life
We die many times
And we rise again
We let go of our leaves
We have our cold Winters
A new dawn in Spring
We blossom in Summer
But no matter how many times
we dance the wheel
In the centre is always
our immovable,
undying love

©RoseGirl2019

Air Kisses

Breathe in
through your heart space
and take in
my love for you

Breathe out
through your heart space
and send
your love to me

We let our hearts kiss
each other
with every breath
I inhale you
You inhale me
We feel
We reach out and receive

And as we dance on the air
we flow even deeper
into love

©RoseGirl2019

Two Pandas

We are like two cute pandas
We may be threatened
in the past
but we are a rare
true love couple
a species that is protected
so now everyone looks
at me and you
to see us cuddling up
in the poetry zoo

They all want us
to come together
and to court
so they can be reassured
that true love
will always live on
