I am your moon tonight
And shine my love over you
My soft silver light shimmers
in your waters
And touches your depths
Just lay down silently
and bathe in my glow
Let it infuse you
And feel how we merge
from inside

And the lioness walks alone
on her path through the savannah
of life
As she doesn’t want to be held
hostage by other people’s belief systems
But she chooses freedom instead
and to honour and stand for the truth
within her
She knows that it means at times
you need to move away
and walk in solitude

But look, lioness, look around you
How the sun smiles, how the birds sing for you, how the trees bow
Your beloved walks with you in heart always
How the whole universe conspires
to support you
For the bravest of soul are those
who choose love over and over

Instead of ‘I miss you’
They say ‘Tu me manques’ in French
which means:
‘You are missing from me’

You are missing from my arms, my love
You are missing from my eyes
You are missing from my skin
I’m incomplete without you
You make my eyes see
You make my arms filled
My skin sense
My soul whole

Tu me manques, mon chéri
For you are never missing from my heart

©RoseGirl2019

Many memories just fade away
Or become vague figures
in the distance
Blurry images that can’t be grasped
no more
In time they slowly lose their trace

But the memories I have of you
all have their vivid imprint
in the now
How you looked at me
The words you said
How your arms felt around me

For it is the heart that knows
The heart that remembers
the true essence of love
and how you are stored in it

©RoseGirl2019

Watch over my heart
when others try to hurt
and invade it
when they don’t see its beauty
but say
there’s something wrong with it:
Too sensitive, too strange

Watch over my heart
when I run away from it
when I don’t see its beauty
and think the others are right

Please keep it safe and protect it,
caress it
Hold it in your loving arms
Until I return to it
and own it, make it again
my home of love and poetry

©RoseGirl2019

My love, let’s meet
in my dreams tonight
I’ll see you
right after the threshold
of sleep
We’ll dance together
in my lucid wonderland
And we’ll turn
the starry sky
into our spotlights

©RoseGirl2019

You don’t need to hold your pen
so tightly,
to take control over the story,
to rationally construct the words,
overthink what will be next
and have a grip on every line

But just let your muse
naturally flow into it
Take a step back into faith
Give space to the divine
to do its work
And let the story unfold itself
right before your eyes

©RoseGirl2019

When I get polluted
by what other people think of me
by their actions, energy and words
or by my own fear-based beliefs,
I take a shower with our love
and let its healing, clearing waters
run over me
until I am again nothing but
my pure naked truth

©RoseGirl2019

Let’s wipe away the words
And listen to vivid silence
of unverbalized love

©RoseGirl2019

We look at the collage that is you
The moving images and
the ones that are still
In black and white and in colours
Pieces you wrote,
the ones you sang
Pieces of pain, fear, joy
anger, guilt or shame
Pieces you once removed
out of self-doubt and rejection
The pieces you hid
We take them all and put them
back together
Honour every part,
give them a place to exist
within you and in this world
For all of you is so welcome
to be seen and to be heard
by me

©RoseGirl2019

And when I lie in bed
and close my eyes
nothing that is more comfortable
than to leave the harbour of my consciousness and
float away on the sea of sleep
by an ‘I love you’

©RoseGirl2019

True love is like Spring
No matter how cold and destroying
Winter has been
It has the power to melt away
the snow
and bring warmth
To let new planted seeds grow
To rise out of hibernation
and awake the colours,
To perfume the world with
the soft sweet smell of hope
To let desires blossom, hearts flower
To make birds sing and fly
And bring male and female
together

©RoseGirl2019

If all around me seems so stormy
Let me sink in you
So deeply
Root me in your heart
Be my shell, my packaging
And protect me from the world

Your endless love my bottom
Deeply nurturing my soul
Until I recover
And like a caterpillar
I feel strong enough again
to rise as the butterfly
and face the world

©RoseGirl2019

If people don’t understand me
And it’s like I speak another language,
I’m from another planet,
They don’t see me, don’t hear me
And I feel lonely and misunderstood,
Can you please understand me,
Can you know every part of me,
See me into my depths
Even without having to use words

©RoseGirl2019

My heart used the trampoline
of love
It jumped out of my chest
Up in the air
And fast beat its way to you
All across the ocean
To land next to you in your bed
And give you a quick
goodnight hug

©RoseGirl2019

My heart is like a flower
that is wide open for you, my sun
And although sometimes,
if the wind of fear blows,
cloudy thoughts appear in the sky
or sorrow showers
that make its petals close a little
It always naturally opens itself
again to catch your light

©RoseGirl2019

You’re alone in a room
in the half dark
Where everything is so familiar
And yet it all seems so strange
You feel you don’t belong

Open the blinds, open the window
Open the door you have closed
And let light and love in
Let it illuminate your world

Let me come in
Let my laughter dust off the old,
my kisses clear away stored sorrow
We’ll dance around together
like a whirlwind to clean every corner
and initiate it with our love

©RoseGirl2019

My poetry is a house of glass
Vulnerable and transparent
As it shows every part of my heart
Each word is honest
In every corner lies truth
People can come close
And look at it
But it is not to touch
For what is behind the glass
Is only meant for you

©RoseGirl2019

I take your hand
and with my finger
I write a poem
in your palm
Just close your eyes
And feel
How my words
glide over your skin
How my poetry
touches you
And how only you
can read it
Blindly
With the receptors
of your heart

©RoseGirl2019

What can I trust
if I look around with confused eyes
And a pained heart

Are you real? I ask the shadows,
the movies, my thoughts, my fears,
the scenarios, I ask the stories

Are you real? I ask the clouds,
I ask the wind, the words
that have been said,
that have been written
and the unspoken

Are you real? I ask the images
and the facts, I ask the past
And I even ask my tears

But before they can respond
they disappear
Until I ask love
that is the only one
that answers:

Yes I am real

©RoseGirl2019

It rains and it keeps raining
The petals of the rose hang down,
Hit by heavy waters
Soul pain goes as deep as the roots
And it breaks the heart
Soon the rose will be drowned

How can the rose be saved
Can we hold up umbrellas of hope
above her
My love, can you sing a bit louder
about the blue skies that are on their way
Let your sounds plant seeds in her heart
that will give her strength to carry on

©RoseGirl2019

See your own light
How it shines
so beautifully in your heart
See what I all see in you

And if you can’t see it
Please, look at my light
and see how yours is
reflected in me

For my light could only
shine that brightly
because it was ignited
by yours

©RoseGirl2019

Please, my darling
let your love burn
inside my heart
And let its flame
melt away
all my pain

©RoseGirl2019

I disappeared
As I drank the poison
of past hurt and ‘I miss you’
And now, I am like dead
In a coffin I am buried
inside your heart
Where my memory,
my love for you lives on

Please kiss me alive
Let me resurrect
From my grave
And let me feel once again
what it is like
to have a body
that is pressed
against yours

©RoseGirl2019

Such a scared heart today
That is afraid to lose,
what it cannot lose,
afraid to lose you
And to have no control

It shakes, shivers and hides
around the corner of this poem
But makes itself known
by the noise of its loud, racing beat
Until even words stumble
and then freeze with fear

©RoseGirl2019

I see you build your foundation
with stones of beauty
And you embrace more who you are,
your past and your creations
As all of them made the piece of art
that you are today

©RoseGirl2019

Whatever you may do
or may not do
Regardless of
our eyes will ever meet
each other directly again
I continue to love you
proudly
As this beautiful love
in itself
can never be a failure

©RoseGirl2019

I now understand
The purpose of why
you passed on your hurt to me
the rejection, the sense of betrayal
You gave me your tears
so I could cry them
And could fully understand
the depth of your pain

Your sad heart from the past
Is mine as well
I heal it for both of us
I won’t let us drown
in sadness no more
But we rise above in love
To break the cycle of pain
For once and for all

Give me your unloved parts
And I will love them for you
The parts that once have been
left behind in the cold,
the broken and sad pieces,
I’ll pick them up
and put them back together
with the glue of
the deepest compassion
as deep pain can only be healed
by the deepest love

©RoseGirl2019

As long as poems
write themselves
There are still things
I need to tell you
But even if poems
do not appear
on paper
and materialize
before your eyes,
I still whisper
my words of love
quietly into your heart

©RoseGirl2019

If you close your eyes
and you don’t believe
then black is all you see

But if you do believe
Then the world before
your eyes will hold
infinite possibilities

Fuel your dreams
Imagine it real
Realize the love

Draw the stars down to earth
And catch the moon
by daylight

Even if nobody else believes it
It only takes two
to believe and to see
and to bring
our heaven to earth,
to light up the sky
by our flame

©RoseGirl2019

It is all here
Right where we are
No step further
into a future that may look dark
or may look bright
depending on thoughts
that walk too far ahead
No step back
into a past that has thorns
and opens up old wounds
underneath our feet
But it all starts here
My hand in yours
If we just trust the love
then our feet know
which route to take
