Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
It goes against all odds
It is not logical
As the storylines of the past
speak against it
And if you would look at it
from outside
It wouldn’t make sense
There is no rhyme or reason to it
How happily in love I feel
with you
How I trust and believe
Where others would already
have lost hope
long time ago
Is it because my heart,
my soul just knows?
And then it is the logic
that doesn’t make sense

There are different ways
of contact
There is the talking and the listening
The writing and the reading
There is the eye to eye
The body to body
There is the direct and the indirect
In closeness or in distance
And there is the contact,
There is the knowing that
we are in contact always
Our thoughts that talk with each other
Our feelings that exchange
Our dreams that interrelate
Our hearts that communicate
Always

And she closes the curtains
Of her house of poetry
It has been a long day
And now it’s time
to go to sleep
But there are still new poems
That eagerly want to be written
and read
They are like the flames
of the candles
That make dancing shadows
on the wall
But now, she really says good night
to her fairy man
Good night to her poems
Tomorrow will be a new day again
The last tale she’ll tell today
is how she’ll fall asleep in his arms
©RoseGirl2018
Read my words
Taste them on your lips
Every single letter
will pull you
more into my world
Read my eyes
They are an open book
to you
Hungrily they wait
for their reader
Read my hands
Read the storylines
on my palms
How they continue
on yours
Read my lips
And how they whisper
About all the kisses
yet to come
Read my heart
Our love is written in it
Your name is engraved
Indelibly
Read my body
Read its language
How it moves around you
And how all its senses
are made to sense you
Read all my pages
All my chapters
As all is filled with me
and you
©RoseGirl2018
Dance with your guitar
Like you dance with me
Hold me closely against
your body
And dance me playfully
Dance me softly
And then dance
me strongly
Bring me in harmony
with you
Dance, my love
and move us around
Dance me freely
Dance me heavenly
Dance me as I dance you
©RoseGirl2018
On this cold, dark, rainy
windy November day
I’m in Spring
As I walk with my head in the clouds
Butterflies inside
and everywhere around
My heart a flower that is blossoming
I dance in the rain,
I fly with the wind
I warm the cold
and burn the sun
back into the sky
It has no doubt
Everyone can see
How completely
in love I am
with you
©RoseGirl2018
We pick up the broken pieces
The pieces that we lost
along the road
Pieces of hurt
Of childhood wounds
Pieces that scattered
Or just flew away from us
Sometimes we didn’t even know
Pieces of betrayal
Of heartaches
Pieces of lost dreams
Of lost hopes
We pick up all the pieces
We pick up you and me
And we make us one
We make us whole
again
©RoseGirl2018
I know, it’s not easy to be loved
if you expect to be abandoned again
If you think love can
be taken away from you anytime
Like a thief in the night
that steals your heart
If you think love has conditions
And you need to meet certain standards
If you think love is a game
and you will lose in the end
If you think you will never be good
enough
So you tested the waters
You threw rocks into it
You let huge waves arise
And made thunderstorms
in the sky
But look, here by your side
Do you see how this love has never left you?
That it passed all tests
And that it loves unconditionally?
Do you see how I am still here
Holding your hand
Can you now believe in love again
And can you trust me?
©RoseGirl2018
How could my words flow like a river so abundantly
If it weren’t your eyes that read and shined into it
If your eyes wouldn’t reflect their beauty back to me
What I then catch in new words again
As my poems are in full circle
with your eyes always
©RoseGirl2018
I have an internal radar
I am programmed in my soul
to always look for you
Like you always look for me
And in every lifetime we’ve navigated
our way back home to each other
Until we reunite
and never separate again
©RoseGirl2018
I want to step
out of the stories
Out of the poems
and the songs
I’m done with
just saying the
‘I-love-you’s’
With all the ohhh’s
and the ahhh’s
With the ‘cutie’
and the ‘sweetie’
I want things to be
Of flesh and blood
Of sweat and breath
Of touch and taste
Of sound and smell
Of body to body
I want things to be
raw and uncovered
I want things to be
real and true
I don’t want you as a king
Or just a fairy man
A singer or a poet
I want you as you
The only you
The tangible you
The very true fairy you
Here next to me
On a real couch
©RoseGirl2018
And she wonders,
Is she still visible to him
Is she in his sight
Do his eyes catch her
Does it catch his breath
Is her house of poetry
marked on his map
with a waving white flag
The place to go
The place to ride to
on his horse
Is it his focus on the horizon
Marked as destination home?
Or is she just a fairy woman
that flies in his dreams
From a land far away
Is she a queen
in a tale,
Her house of poetry
a castle in the clouds
almost too good
to be true?
She wonders,
does he miss her
like she misses him
Not only in words,
in songs, in stories, in poetry
but for the very real?
©RoseGirl2018
The night has fallen
And soon I will leave
for dreamland
Please know, my love
You will be the last thought
on my mind
And you will be the first
When I wake up again
©RoseGirl2018
I say: ‘My true love, before we descend
to earth again
Let’s first check the script
of our new life’
You say: ‘Good idea, my sexy sweetie,
It’s a soul contract we have
So we need to sign
it first.’
‘Hey! I thought we are now
in our ego free state
Why then do you
still call me ‘sexy’
‘Your sexiness is timeless,
my sexy sweetie
And even as an angel
you are very sexy.’
‘Okay, as I am without ego
I will not be flattered
But let’s now read
the contract
Oh look what I see here
Oh man, oh man
We will have an age gap
You will live on the other side
of the world
But Mr. Destiny himself
will bring you to my country
And what do I read here
What the hell!’
‘We are in heaven, sweetie’
‘Oh yeah, sorry
But oh man, oh man
First you will be really hot with me
But then you will act coldly
And temporarily
We also need to separate
You won’t tell me yet
that you love me
And then I need to trust
and have faith blindly!
Whereas I will reassure you all the time
That you are the love of my life
I will shout it from the rooftops!
This is really not fair
I’m not agree
Can I complain somewhere?
Who wrote this crazy scenario?’
‘It is God
who made this all up
As we need to learn
certain lessons
And he then made
a story of it’
‘Holy shit!
Do you see how many tears
I will cry
about you!
Rivers and rivers!’
‘Yeah, but then read here
How much turmoil
you will bring to my life!
And I need to freak out
about you all the time!
‘I think I liked
our previous life more’
‘May I remind you,
my sexy sweetie,
That you have been killed
In that lifetime
And then it was me
that needed to cry
those rivers and rivers?’
‘Yeah but this is really
a bad story, my cutest cutie
It’s too absurd
No one will believe this
It’s all really not fair
what you will say to me.’
‘But it’s me that will suffer a lot!
As we have this age gap
I need to spend
a big part of my life
without you
And all alone!’
‘Yeah, that’s true
Poor you, poor you.
But maybe,
we can adjust it a bit
I’m willing to sign
But at least,
can I have a romantic wedding
with you in the end?
Oh and can you also add:
I want a romantic white wedding dress
Oh and another thing:
Chocolate cake.
I want a lot of chocolate’
‘You can have it all, my sexy sweetie
But remember, we are in an ego free state
Why then this craving for chocolate?’
‘Because angels do like
chocolate very much too.
But it’s time for you to descend now
Don’t forget, my cutest cutie
Even though,
you won’t see me yet
for many years
I’m always around
I’m always by your side
And I will already appear in your dreams
And you will long for me in your songs.’
‘Okay, I won’t forget
Our love is stronger than strong
Let’s do this,
High five, my sexy sweetie
See you on the other side
That’s the spirit!’
©RoseGirl2018
In stormy weathers,
And even if we
can’t hold ourselves
no more
Our hearts will always hold us
closely together
Tightly connected
We can never fall,
can never drift away
As we are held
by the strong arms
of our love
In this embrace
we can relax, my dear
As our hearts
will take care of us
©RoseGirl2018
Only you are allowed
to drown in my eyes
to dive into the depths
of my sea
And then in my heart
You will find the lifebuoy
that will let you float
that will let you dance
forever on my sea of love
©RoseGirl2018
Sing me to sleep tonight
Sing me a sweet lullaby
And carry me away
Safely
So I can rest
Let me float on your melodies
Let your voice bring me
to dreamland
Where we will meet
In dreams of tenderness
Your loving voice holding me
Until the end of the night
And then
carry me back gently
into a new day
Again
©RoseGirl2018
You and me
We balance
the scales
I can lift you up
When you are down
You can lift me up
When I am low
Or we both
can lift up
our energy
to find
the harmony
in us
and between us
©RoseGirl2018
The art to dance
is the art to love
and to make love
It is the art to create
and to make art
To move and to flow
freely
In dance, in love
and in creation
When heart, soul,
body connect
Freely I flow with you
We are the dance
We are the love
And we are art itself
©RoseGirl2018
A moisty cold early morning
My thoughts are wandering
And I fly after them
While I ride my bike
And suddenly from aside
A car hits me
And I’m hit back in my body
Roughly thrown in the now
I hear people in the street screaming
I hear my own screaming
My heart beating fast
People come to me
I had not seen them before
I see the shock in their eyes
Or do they only reflect
my own shock?
Are you okay, they ask
Are you doing fine
Strangers seem
to care about me
And I feel embraced
by all of them
I have my guardian angels around
And I am lucky
With only my upper leg injured
As it is not my time yet
©RoseGirl2018
I think of you
And feel
how waves of love roll
over me
how I get tears of love
in my eyes
by only the thought of you
How I can feel you
so close
as if you were here
even
when you’re not
How everything around me
looks brighter
When I only imagine
to look in your eyes
again
How I hear
your songs come alive
in the depths of my heart
In this feeling inside
How I could
dance and dance
to music
only we can hear
I think of you
And by only the thought of you
I love you even more
©RoseGirl2018
‘Why are all those people
in front of us, my cutest cutie?’
‘We are on stage, my sexy sweetie’
I say: ‘Oh no! I just woke up,
I’m not even dressed up properly’
You say: ‘Don’t worry, my true love
You always look good and sexy
Even if you would be
in your pyjamas
or even with your hair messy.
But all those people came especially for us
They want to hear about our very special love
And we gonna share it with the world’
‘Oh yes, I will tell them
How we met four years ago
How our eyes locked
And oh man, oh man,
How heaven came to earth
And then, and then!’
‘Take it easy, my sexy sweetie,
You start to shine so brightly now
You provide your own spotlights’
‘Sorry, but I cannot help
Because when I talk about you
I always start to shine
I adore you,
I love you so truly
Already from the start.
And look at the audience
They are in awe
I think they really find it sweet
But now I will tell
about what happened next
I will tell all details
about our sweet love story
How you started to run
And I started to chase
How things got a bit complicated
How you did everything
to push me away
You made up stories
And even let a friend do
the dirty job’
‘Oh no, my sexy sweetie,
Can we please leave this part out??!!
Look at the audience, they are all in shock!!!
Let’s not make it too realistic!’
‘No, because we are building up
to the most exciting part
We don’t want it to be too boring
Every story has its struggle
After rain comes the sun again
And it all made our love even truer
And we both grew stronger
So now we come to the spectacular final
How of course, we’ve found each other back
But in fact, we never lost
As we have this special heart connection
Anyway,
then we lived very happily ever after’
‘Ohhh my sexy sweetie,
it even brought tears to my eyes
And look at all the people
They are cheering,
they are clapping
I think it is a huge success
And now we can end the show
And sing our happy love song’
‘But I prefer to dance
And you can sing
Or I will say one of my poems’
‘No, let’s have it all
We dance, we sing poetry
We play the music together’
‘Ohhh my cutest cutie
You want things really
to be wild
You are so romantic
It is getting so exciting
And oh man, I want to do
some other things with you
that are a little bit private
Let’s do that in the after show’
‘Good idea, my sexy sweetie
we’ll close the curtains
And then we’ll have our own
wild private after party.’
©RoseGirl2018
Our energy
is on the same frequency
We share the same waves
We only need to tune
into our hearts,
into our radio station of love
to hear the tunes
of our thoughts,
our feelings,
our bodies,
our dreams
And to dance along
with the sounds of love
©RoseGirl2018
If you feel those shakes inside
And your thoughts run like crazy
Your nerves almost break you down
Let’s then shake together
We’ll dance the shake
And we’ll shake together those shakes away
©RoseGirl2018
There is an elastic cord
between us
So in fact,
We cannot get lost
We can never fall
We can never lose
Because in the end
We will always bounce back
to each other

Previous: The Trouble With You Is That You Love Me
You see the light in me
You see my beauty
But do you also see my dark parts
And my dark days?
Do you read between the lines
What I hide in my poems?
When I am lost and I
do not believe no more
When I lie on my bed
And can only cry
Perhaps,
I am not who you think I am
Maybe,
I am not a queen, nor a fairy woman
And not a wild rose
I am not that strong
and colourful
As my heart breaks on and on
And often, I am just a scared cat
Then I don’t like myself
Please, don’t love me no more
Run away from me as far as you can.
My dear wild rose,
I see you in every poem,
I even see you on a blank page
And on your darks days,
I see your light shine
I see you in your tears
I see you in your smile
And my eyes
find you when you are lost
I see the wild rose blossom
I see how it can blossom even more
If you would only believe
in it yourself
And after all what I have seen
Tell me, how on earth
could I then not love you no more?
©RoseGirl2018
She shares her smiles like sun rays
A little gift of light
and empathy
To warm the hearts
she meets
She gives her smile
to a beggar woman
that almost seems invisible
As she gave up to
hold out her hand
to people who pass by
A smile to a young mother
that looks helpless
and exhausted
As her child
doesn’t stop to cry
She gives a smile to the cashier
that doesn’t seem to like her job
But she has a lot of worry
If she’ll have enough money
to survive the end of the month
She gives a smile to a guy
whose head is hanging down
And whose mood
seems depressed
As he sees darkness all around
She shares her smiles like sun rays
But the brightest smile
she keeps
for the One who
makes her smile
And who she’ll meet
when she returns home
©RoseGirl2018
Look at the moon, my love
I’ve asked her to shine
even brighter tonight
to show you how full
my heart is of you
©RoseGirl2018
When you travel
Take me with you secretly
in your suitcase full of songs
Carry me lightly
in the fullness of your heart
And have me with you all along
©RoseGirl2018
All the fruits I bear
The poems I write
Are there
only for you
So take them,
Taste them,
Consume them
And let them
nourish you,
fuel you
from the inside
As they could only
grow and ripe
in the light
of your Sun
©RoseGirl2018
The way I love you
is the way of deep waters,
and playful waves
The way of a burning fire
The hope of a morning sky
The way a fierce,
passionate storm blows
The way silent words speak
The way of a gentle breeze
The way of a solid rock
The way of a big symphony
Of a simple, true song
The way of a touching poem
The way of a wild rose
The way I love you
Is the way I go
The way I dance, I talk,
I write, I walk, I breathe, I dream
©RoseGirl2018
You write about the light
you see in me
And about all the beauty
I radiate
But don’t you see my dark parts
My dark days, all my heaviness?
How could you still love me
if you would know about that
You make a God of me
Where I am not
Perhaps,
I am not who you think I am
Maybe,
I am not a king nor a fairy man
I will show you my ugliness
so you will see
Please don’t love me no more
I do not deserve
As the trouble with you
is that you love me.
My dear fairy man,
I do see your dark parts
I do see your struggle
But I see how they hold
the light within
As I have the eyes of true love
I see right through you
I see all that you are
And I see all of your gold
The trouble with you
is that you don’t fully
believe in it yourself
Show me your ugliness
And I will see the beauty
Show me your bad
And I will find the good
The trouble with me
then is that I will love you
even more
©RoseGirl2018
Let me be your well
From which you can drink
My liquid of love
will quench your thirst
If you come out of the desert
Then recharge and rest here
at my source that is pure
If you are on fire
And all is burning
Let me be your water
that calms you down
and where you can float on
Let me be your shower
that washes away
all the dirt
Come to drink here
Come to taste here
all the flavors of love
©RoseGirl2018
We need to hold hands, my love
And keep each other on track
I feel I want to run away
and hide
Erase every trail
I feel I want to take back
the road of the past
The light in front of us
is bright
and I’m scared
Let us walk forward
And don’t look back
Our hands
will hold us on track
Steady we go
And step by step
we will grow
in the love
©RoseGirl2018
Even when the thunder rages through the sky
Seasons come and go
Storms strike the land
And huge waves hit the sea
Even when the night is deepest dark
The rain falls upon us
The river flows tumultuously
And the water takes
Like a sun that keeps its shine
A tree rooted firmly
A mountain that stands its ground
A hidden life force underneath
Like a rock that cannot be split
A flame that cannot fade
Words cannot damage it
And whatever you and me do
Our love is stronger
than anything

Previous: Flying Into Our Tale
‘Oh shitty shit!’ I say
And you ask:
‘What is the matter, my true love?
‘My cutest cutie,
I wrote in my poem
That we need to fly into our tale
But I took it a bit too literally
And then I jumped from above.
I can imagine a lot
But unfortunately,
My fairy wings weren’t there
So then I fell
down to the ground.’
‘What the hell,’ you say
And I say:
‘Yes it is truly true
I have this tendency
to take things too literally
Especially when it comes to
what you say, sing and do.
And then another habit,
I also tend to make in my mind
Bad scenarios all the time.
And then I panic about it.’
‘What the hell! you say,
Oh no! my sexy sweetie!
And then you keep telling me
that I need to fly
And you keep wondering
why oh why I don’t do it.’
I say: ‘Yes indeed you need to fly,
My cutest cutie!
And to overcome your fears
And to just fly over to me’
You say: ‘Stop telling me what I need to do
Cause if I get it correctly
You are the one that needs to fly
You need to fly out of your mind
And to trust the better stories!’
I say: ‘Oh shitty shit my cutest cutie!
If I get it correctly
Do we have our first fight now
It’s starts to get really exciting.’
You say: ‘Yes I do think so,
my sexy sweetie,
but I love you anyway’
I say: ‘Ohhh I love you too!
And our true love can survive anything.’
You say: ‘Indeed. And the good thing about a fight,
is that we can make it up,
so now kiss me.’
I say: ‘Oh yes let’s kiss,
for sure
Let’s take that very literally.’
©RoseGirl2018
Here we stand, my fairy man
And we need to fly
Spread your wings, my fairy man
Why do you still hesitate?
Are you afraid
to leave your land behind
Where everything is so well-known
Are you uncertain of the new land
and if its harvest
will come your way?
But my fairy man,
we need to fly into our tale
It’s written especially for us
And its writer is smiling from above
As he already knows
True love will always find its way
©RoseGirl2018
Yes she will love him into eternity
And she will wait for him always
Even if it would take one thousand years
And in the meantime
She will take care of herself
She will believe in their love,
in herself and in him
She will ground herself firmly
in her house of poetry
where the door is open for him
She will be strong
And will make of every day
the best
She will write, she will dance,
she will sing
with him in her heart
She will allow the sun
to come in
©RoseGirl2018
In a world where nothing was sure,
you had the safety of your dreams
In a world where you needed to be an adult,
even when you were just a child,
you had your imaginary friends
to be less lonely
In a world where things were harsh,
you carried a flower within your heart
And now I realize, how I’ve become the harsh world,
How I say the harsh words
in the way I do my inner talk
Every time when I say:
‘I am stupid, I am not worthy,
My poems are crap’
I beat you, my inner dreamy flower girl
Like in the past, you have been beaten by others
But from now on,
No more harsh words
I will love you, love myself
And protect my inner
dreamy flower girl
©RoseGirl2018
And she loves him no matter what
Whatever he did or does
Whatever he said or says
Even if she is heartbroken
She continues to love him,
to support him
She understands and shows him
her boundless compassion
She continues to sing him
her songs of love from her heart
Let her words gently caress him
She forgives him
As she loves him always, forever,
no matter what
And now it’s his turn
to walk towards her
to go down on his knees for her
to let his kisses make up
To thank her and the heavens for this precious gift
To show her his love, his compassion
and understanding
To adore her, to admire her,
to sing for her,
to desire her,
To kneel for her before her eyes
And ask her to dance
©RoseGirl2018
Grandfather, do you remember
How we went on adventures together
You took me with me into the forest
at night
You were the greatest storyteller ever
And told me scary stories
But when I walked with you arm in arm
I always felt safe and protected
In a world where I felt lost
and didn’t understand
You were my beacon, my haven
And whatever happened
together with you
I could always embark the world
of make believe
You taught me to be strong,
to be wild, to dream
and to always play like a child
Do you remember,
How I suffered from headaches
And how you then laid your hand
on my head
And said: I will take away all pain
for you?
And you did it, you could do it
As you were the one that could
do anything, you created my world
When they told me you had died
suddenly and unexpectedly at the age of only 65,
– I was 16, too young to lose you yet
I thought this was just another story by you
And I expected you to come back
and we would laugh about it together
But you never did
I didn’t understand
I couldn’t believe
How could you,
the greatest storyteller ever
who was strong like a rock,
then not make another story of it?
It hurt so much that you left
me alone with my stories
And your hand wasn’t there anymore
to take away my pain
©RoseGirl2018
And when he rode out on his horse
there was a cold wind blowing from the east
He saw a figure in the distance
He rode closer
And there he found a frozen girl
with her ice tears still on her cheeks
It was his own girl, his wild rose
He took her
And let her melt in his arms
Warmed her with the fire of true love in his heart
And he carried her
all the way back to her house of poetry
And there he gently brought her inside
And said: ‘Continue to write, my love
For your poems will melt the world’
©RoseGirl2018
And she took a hammer
And knocked all her words down
She left her house of poetry
She ran and kept running
She ran for the hills
Far out of sight
It was a cold day
And the wind from the east
made her tears freeze
on her cheeks
She ran until the cold
completely caught her
And what was then left of her
was a frozen still life of pain
©RoseGirl2018
And when her man left
It was like he was dead
She grieved and she mourned
She cried all day long
At the grave
In which she had buried
all the painful memories
That still came to haunt her
in her nights without sleep
She was a widow of her man
And she veiled herself in black
But her man had never been dead
He had only left
to catch the sun for her
And the day when he came back
to bring her his offer
He couldn’t find her no more
As his wild rose had withered
And she now was the black widow of sorrow
©RoseGirl2018
My love, if things are hard
and dark and we feel lost
We just close our eyes
and we imagine
we dance
with each other
We just keep
moving
You hold me closely
And I embrace you
We dance until
the sun begins
to shine again
And until we see
the rainbow appear
in our tears
