As I brush my teeth
before I go to sleep
I look into the mirror
I look at myself,
into eyes that once
caught you
and took you deep
inside of me
And if I stare long enough,
in them I can still find you

Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
As I brush my teeth
before I go to sleep
I look into the mirror
I look at myself,
into eyes that once
caught you
and took you deep
inside of me
And if I stare long enough,
in them I can still find you

She looks at the night sky,
at all the stars that shine
so brightly and asks:
What should I do
to make my wishes come true?
And the Universe replies:
The seeds of your wishes
burn like stars in the sky
Now there’s nothing more
for you to do than
to look at them,
hold them before your eyes
and water them with belief

You’re my
Californian sun
that burns
tirelessly
within me
©RoseGirl2021
I wish I was the Californian sun
you walk under
so I could always
unabashedly
touch and caress you
with fingers of loving rays
©RoseGirl2021
When there’s nothing
in the outside world to hold on to
and it seems all hopeless,
you see your dreams collapsing
right before your eyes,
your so desired future broken,
then you feel him,
you feel the love in your heart
and you know,
where there is such love,
there’s always hope
©RoseGirl2021
Even though her heart hurts,
she keeps it uncovered
and open
so the light,
so love can come in
for that’s the only thing
that can heal
an open wound
©RoseGirl2021
And if she doubts her own worth,
she only needs to look into her heart
and see all that precious love
to know her value
©RoseGirl2021
Two birds stand both in their own land
with an ocean between them
Both longing for the other side,
for each other
They may have thought it was all
those miles of water, of sky, of land,
the wind, the weather forecast or any restriction
but in fact it is their own fears, their own thoughts
that keep them chained to their shores and apart
And trusting the wings of their heart
will be the only way to break free and to cross
©RoseGirl2021
When I get lost
in the screaming silence
I Iisten deeper
to be found
by the calming sound
of us
©RoseGirl2021
Her words can be unwanted
silenced, erased
ignored, blocked, suppressed
But her heart never can
So many truths locked up inside her
Her voice, her sound stuck
in her own ears, her small self,
her own head
But then the wind, the moon,
the stars, the sea,
the whole universe
will voice and echo her heart
©RoseGirl2021
With you in every molecule
I flow with the day,
flow with my tears,
my fears, my thoughts
Like a river
that holds on to nothing
but has its source in love
©RoseGirl2021
I’m like the moon
shining light
on all the darkness
uncovering lies,
illusions and shadows
And as I light up the night
I find the truth of our love
in even the darkest corners
of the universe
©RoseGirl2021
When the outside world
gets too harsh
and suffocating
I always have my world
of honey bees and flowers
of fairy tales and rose gardens
I have my poetry,
music to dance to,
floating clouds to look at
I always have that wide world
of me and you
©RoseGirl2021
When the heart
overflows with sadness
and I’m about to drown
I grab a dream of us
to float on
©RoseGirl2021
The head burns
fiercely with ache
though the heart burns
even stronger
with love
©RoseGirl2021
And tonight
there’s just me,
the thought of you,
my poetry
and the moon
that makes the heart,
the night sky,
the paper full
©RoseGirl2021
If I don’t think in time
in space, in distance
if I don’t think in years
in you and me,
in pain, in miles
But if I think in love
then there’s only us
here in this moment
©RoseGirl2021
The air is cleared again
After a rain shower,
the sun breaks through
I listen to the wind
as I walk in the woods
And high above treetops
I see a buzzard soaring
I search the sky for another one
and search my heart for you
for like buzzards
that always have a counterpart
to fly with
I never walk the earth alone
but always walk with you
©RoseGirl2021
In the morning
a dove coos
a crow caws
a magpie calls
and my heart sings
a fado song
so much it longs
to fly out to you
©RoseGirl2021
I draw a line with my finger
on the map
from where you are,
your continent to mine
And then I cross the ocean,
cross the world
with a bridge of kisses
I connect the dots
fill up the space
and I see, I feel
how close you are, my love
for you’re only
a few kisses away
©RoseGirl2021
As I love your heart,
your soul, your true essence,
nothing that happens
on the surface,
no movement, no wave
nothing that you do or say
can effect the deep waters
of my love for you
©RoseGirl2021
The last time
I saw you eye to eye,
sensed you body to body
What if in fact, our arms
have never let go of each other
but you’re still holding me
I’m still holding you
heart to heart
somewhere outside of time
©RoseGirl2021
Even my dreams at night
don’t seem to entertain me no more
they cannot soothe or fool
for I walk around lucidly in my dream
and only wonder, where are you
Dreams are just not real
when you’re not in them
©RoseGirl2021
And in the stormy,
wild waters of fear
I sail on the solid ship
of our love with you
as we find the calm,
find the faith
in its built-in compass
©RoseGirl2021
Like meerkats that stand up,
look around, alert
we always pay attention
to a long distance sound
as we hear each other’s
silent call
to come home
©RoseGirl2021
Holding you dearly
in my heart
with the door open
so you’re free
like a bird to fly out
to leave and come back
but you somehow always
prefer to stay
©RoseGirl2021
If I just keep my eyes closed,
I won’t see the raindrops
that slide down the window
through which I look
at the world,
I won’t see all the colours
that are missing,
the yawning gaps
between words
But if I just keep
my eyes closed
I see you
©RoseGirl2021
I wish you were here now
so I could tell you directly
how much I miss you
and you could comfort me
©RoseGirl2021
In all the people
I meet
I see that
they are not you
©RoseGirl2021
You’re my songbird
that sings at dawn
and that no matter
the darkness
I’m going through
always puts
a song of hope
in my heart
©RoseGirl2021
Here in my land
on the other side
of where you are
in the world
the grass isn’t greener
for the grass is fertile
only, where I am with you
©RoseGirl2021
I watch the river
dance onto the bank
Waves roll over the sand
forward and back
Water shimmers
and seems on fire
Water and earth
make love to each other
and merge
If you are the water
then I’m the sand
as I absorb
you in my core
©RoseGirl2021
In the middle of the night
In the calm after the storm
A battle with pain just won
Alone with stars and moon
Alone with my thoughts,
my heart and thus with you
I realize, how lucky I am
to be part of a whole
to be part of two
©RoseGirl2021
Locked up
inside myself
within skin and bones
Unable to move
Words all stay inside
Headache knocks
on inner walls
Though through the heart
I find a way out
as I feel my way to you
©RoseGirl2021
Hold my hands
in this dark night
and kiss
your soothing words
onto their lines
so I can read
what the future
holds for us
©RoseGirl2021
Lying in my bed,
gliding into the dark
among many
terrifying ghosts
that pop up in my mind,
I choose to have you
as a happy thought
instead
©RoseGirl2021
When nothing
seems to make sense
no more
I look at the stars
I look into my heart,
into the wisdom
of our love
to see a perfect
divine order
©RoseGirl2021
Whatever pain we are going through
whatever hell we witness
in the outside world
My love, we have a world together
behind our eyes
that expands beyond our skin
with every heartbeat
Where we live in each other,
share our dreams
and make the impossible
possible
©RoseGirl2021
Arms of love
can stretch so far
that they reach
across the ocean
to hold you
©RoseGirl2021
Some things
aren’t meant
to be written
but to be kept
in the heart
and to be
whispered
to you there
in secret
©RoseGirl2021
My thoughts move
in all directions
too fast for me
to catch them
but they somehow
always catch you
©RoseGirl2021
God gave me the eyes to see
through the bullshit in the world,
deep into the infinite truth
of loving you
©RoseGirl2021
You look unhappy, my love
Do you toss and turn
in your bed, tired
of all those miles,
the mountains that seem
fearful and unbridgeable
Close your eyes, my love
and have a dream that
will bring you to me
I’ll hold you, I’ll kiss you
And as we look
in each other’s eyes,
look into ourselves,
we remember our wings,
who we truly are and
what we’re here for
we remember the promise
that we together
are meant to fly
©RoseGirl2021
If every loving
thought of you
would make a star
then it would
never be dark
©RoseGirl2021
Woden thunders in the sky
It storms and it rains
And the world is on fire
and I stand in the midst of it
but don’t get burned
for I don’t fear the flames
as they only stir up
the fire inside
and make my love for you
burn brighter
©RoseGirl2021
