Starlight

If you look at the sky tonight,
know that the brightest star
is me
And that I shine my light
that brightly out there in the world
only, so you can see
and so you always have a light,
your north star,
to guide you when it is dark

Be Still

Go within and let your
troubled water find stillness
Let your light shine
into the lake of silence
So it can reflect
what’s on your heart

The inner space where
God and angels talk to you
Where your own soul
gives you guidance
And where I am
your lady of the lake,
your water nymph
and where I sing
my messages of love

Be still
so you’ll be able
to hear

Déjà Vu

The visions we have of the future
The dreams we dream of togetherness
So real, so tangible
Like it has already happened
The story that has been written
We have seen it
from the first time that we met
when we looked
in each other’s eyes
and saw the happy end
That’s where it started

Sun Of Love

No matter how many clouds
appear in our sky
and all the raindrops that fall down,
the birds of prey that circle around,
no matter how loud it thunders
how many trails our fears
and worries have drawn,
The sun of our love always burns
everything away again
Its heat and its fire clears
what is troubled
and resets us both to hope

Close Enough

You can love me from a distance
but close enough to feel my heart
You can love me in silence
but loud enough for me
to hear it inside
You can love me in solitude
but love enough to love for two
You can touch me on the surface
but strong enough to reach me deep

Lost In Wonderland

I look around and wonder,
Apart from the love, is this all real?
I came here once with you together
When we both had stars in our eyes
And new dreams on our minds
But I chased the rabbit into his hole
I cannot see you no more
And now I’m all alone
and lost in Wonderland

©RoseGirl2019

Light Me Up

When I am so much lost
And even my words can’t find
their sentences
When each step without you here
feels sad and heavy
And all around me I see dark wilderness,
Then move me, my muse,
back into my poetry
Light me up with your love
so I can find myself

Together In Art And Heart

Wherever we are, whatever we do
Even if I fly in the air
like a smooth melody
And you wander on the ground,
you feel like in a staccato
Even if you surf the waves
and I am underwater
Even if you chase the moon
And I haunt the sun
Even if you are in the dark
of the night
And I am in the light of the day
We are together always
in art and heart

She Understood

She always wanted people to understand her
And if they didn’t and only judged her
She tried even harder to be understood
By opening up herself,
by explaining her heart
which led to more hurt
Until she decided to let go
of wanting those people to understand her
And instead, to understand herself
so thoroughly,
that she doesn’t need anyone else
no more to be understood

A Craving Desire

I fly in the air like a kite
the strings that are tied
to my heart, my body,
my soul, my mind
you pull them, you crave them
closer and closer to your heart,
from heaven and the realm of dreams
to the tangibility of earth
And willingly and full of desire
I let you pull me in
As I cannot wait to land onto you

©RoseGirl2019

In The Ether

There’s so much going on
in the ether
Where the air is thin
And no lines are drawn
Where all is fluid,
energy flows and fizzes
Messages are sent and
received
through the ether

I can almost feel your breath
And touch your skin
Fervent thoughts
dance back and forth
between us
Your voice in my mind
sounds like music

And from within you kiss me
Warm airwaves move
strongly through me
as our hearts make love
in the ether

Focus On The Sky

Sometimes, the ocean between us
is a big gap
A cruel dark blue monster
that has teared apart our lands
And we both stand on our shores
I call out for you
Your name, I shout it in the wind
Do you hear me or do the waves
make too much noise?

Please, let’s not look at the sea
But let’s focus on the sky
Our wings of love have grown
strong enough
to go up and meet above the clouds

I Danced Before Your Eyes

I read back some old letters
that I once sent to you
How I danced before your eyes
in my words
Did you know back then
that it was you who had put
the music on
Did you know I danced
solely for you
And that in fact, in every letter
I invited you implicitly
hidden behind strong
but shy words,
to dance together with me

The Crown On Your Head

You sit on your throne in my words,
and make glitter and glamour of them
You rule their tides,
their melodies and rhymes

Without you my poetry
would be just an empty,
run-down palace,
a trove without treasure

For a kingdom needs its king
Just like my poetry gives
you the crown on your head

©RoseGirl2019

Lolly Love

Love drips from my words
as I dipped them one by one
in this delicious fluid
Touch it with your finger
Stroke around the letters
Lick it with your tongue
Suck it with your lips
Let its sweetness
explode in your mouth
And taste with your heart
all my precious love for you

©RoseGirl2019

Throw Me A Line

If I get off track
and get lost in my fears and thoughts
Can you please pull me back
and throw me a line
By a prayer, a song,
By a kiss blown in the wind
By a wave of love you send my way
By the thought of me
Just pull me on my heart string
Back on track and back to you

A Session With Myself

Since I work as a psychologist
I thought, well, let’s analyze myself
For I have this issue
That I think all the time about you
That I write all those poems
My heart that beats, bursts
and longs like crazy
And I have these strong and deep emotions
I did an intake interview,
observed my own behaviour,
asked a hundred questions,
I reflected, empathized
I took the DSM-V, the handbook
of all the mental disorders
But I could not find a box
I could be fitted in
So then I gave myself the diagnosis
that I am just madly in love with you

A Scientific Research

I did a scientific research on
the love I feel for you
In an objective and unbiased manner
I tested the hypothesis ‘I love you’
I did a literature review of my poems
and wrote a theoretical framework
I did an observation of my heart
I systematically collected the data,
analyzed them
And then came to the conclusion
Now it is scientifically proven
that I love you

Family

Sparrow and robin,
sitting there on the branches
Cats that are lying in my garden
Bees on the flowers
Butterflies that are fluttering
before my eyes,
My kindred spirits,
You my beloved,
Do you want to be my family,
my true tribe
To which I can belong?

Spring And Winter At The Same Time

And I walk on the path
through the woods
Where I once walked with you
It was Winter then
Bare trees bowed for us

And now, it is Spring
A roof of green leaves
above my head
It’s almost like
I hear your voice
And see you next to me
in your warm winter coat
How I want to put
my arm in yours
And wish this road
will never end

As my feet walk in Spring
my mind wanders in Winter

Mathematics

I took the two variables
‘I love you’ and ‘I miss you’
to measure if there is
a statistical relationship
between them
I quantified and counted
Used the formula
and found
a correlation coefficient of 1
which means
it is mathematically proven
the more I love you
the more the ‘I miss you’ variable
will increase

©RoseGirl2019

Yes Now

Where are we, my love
Did the light catch us
When we held hands
I looked at you
You said ‘yes now’
And we jumped
together
into the unknown

I see white all around us
Like a blank page
on which a new story
is eager to start
And its main characters
just both came alive

©RoseGirl2019

Flowers Of Love And Hope

At the end of the day
I walk in our garden of love
with a watering can
full of thoughts, songs and poetry

And I do not want to water
the weeds of fear, of doubt
and confusion
But I water and nurture
the flowers of love and hope

What you give your attention to
grows
What we focus on we get more of

©RoseGirl2019

Featherlight

Make your heart as light as a feather
Free it from any burden,
from any ties to the past
Let pure light flow into it
And let it cleanse
All the sadness, the resentment
All what made it heavy
and afraid of love
Let it again dance on the wind
As your heart was never meant
to stay on the ground

©RoseGirl2019

What We Can’t See

If we can’t see the whole picture
As half is hidden and not shown to us
If there’s a curtain of fog,
an incomplete puzzle
And we hold single pieces
in our hand
We can only have faith and trust
There’s a divine plan behind everything
It’s all being sorted out from above

©RoseGirl2019

Imagine An Ocean

Think of an ocean
Think it as big as you can
And then imagine it even larger
Think of the depth of the water
How endless deep it goes
Its clear blue that reflects the light
Think of all the treasures
that the ocean holds underwater
The coral, all the diamonds
In the most beautiful colours
And then think of this ocean
as my love for you

Elements Of Longing

At times longing comes
in a wave that rises
Water that takes and pulls me
wildly to your shore

And sometimes it is a fire
within me
A burning desire
My body that wants to
feel and touch yours

Sometimes the longing
is solid like earth
Grounded in knowing
that you are mine

And at times longing
is subtle like air
it takes me high up
and let me dream
on my cloud

Honour Your Treasures

A little girl sits in the sand
She holds a treasure in her hand
So dear to her heart
Someone comes who
tries to get it from her
and manipulates,
plays on her feelings,
tries to force her, screams,
and throws with judgements

Another person comes
who says:
‘Your beautiful gem,
my dear, just hold it
as long as you need’

With whom would the girl
feel safe to share the beauty
of her treasure?
