Words don’t want
to stay on paper
but fly away from me,
cross an ocean
to kiss your heart

Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
Words don’t want
to stay on paper
but fly away from me,
cross an ocean
to kiss your heart
©RoseGirl2021
Eyes look
at the unknown
and can’t see
Ears can’t hear
though the heart
knows, feels
its way to you
©RoseGirl2021
When things feel shattered
and broken
and I pick up the pieces
of my heart
one thought, one feeling
makes me fall
into place
in you
©RoseGirl2021
When I don’t want to write
all those sad poems
that rain from the heavens
and flow from my eyes
I write wordless love instead
©RoseGirl2021
Hurt violently breaks
body and heart
and pierces the soul
but leaves the love
there intact
©RoseGirl2021
Let your body move
to music soul deep
and feel me dancing
in you
©RoseGirl2021
It’s when I dance
when you dance
no matter where our feet are
no matter how many miles
lie between us,
our worlds, our hopes, our desires
entwine
as our hearts dance their love
together
©RoseGirl2021
I seek you in dark times
reach out my hand
through the veil
of our separate worlds
to hold yours
©RoseGirl2021
When the heart
is shared
there’s always
a common place
to love and to grow
together

It’s in those nights
that I lie still like dead
and cannot move the body
to endure the pain
inside the head
It’s in those nights
that I shelter in darkness
as even moonlight hurts the eyes,
that my heart still moves
to find the light of you
©RoseGirl2021
A loving thought of you
travels at light speed
through the night sky
to land in and light up
your heart
©RoseGirl2021
Roses hang their head down
and cry their petals
on the grass
where they make
a colorful carpet
Each petal holds
a piece of beauty
of the heart
©RoseGirl2021
Sometimes longing sounds
like a crow that sharply caws,
a dog that barks
in the silence of the morning
it’s the sound when the wind
rustles through the bush
and you hear the roses sighing
how much they miss the sun today
©RoseGirl2021
There’s a poem
on the tip of my tongue
waiting to be remembered
and to be kissed out
by you
©RoseGirl2021
It’s raining on the longest day
of the year
The sun hides behind clouds
and shares his light, his power,
celebrates his solstice
high in the sky
in a private space with
the moon
©RoseGirl2021
You built a construct
of lies, excuses and
made up stories
to feel safe in
and to protect you from the world
but if that all falls apart
you’ll see that it’s naked truth
that is in fact, holding you
©RoseGirl2021
How lucky are the stars
to have every night view
of you
©RoseGirl2021
Pain and fears
can scream like crazy
though, even miles apart
they can never
silence the song
sung between two hearts
©RoseGirl2021
Within pain
she’s never
without
love
©RoseGirl2021
If I’m a wounded bird
almost unable to stand
on its feet
will you still see me
as your queen of the sky
will you wrap your wings
around me
and pick me up
until I can again fly myself
©RoseGirl2021
And if she would stop the fight
to be heard, to be understood
with people who only
want to hear themselves
maybe then, she would feel
she’s always heard by love
©RoseGirl2021
And you have to get up today
and straighten your back
to stand up once more
even if you’re shaky and afraid
of what needs to be done
and the task seems difficult
Just breathe
feel that anchor, that bond
with him, your precious beloved
and be armored with
the power of love
©RoseGirl2021
Lies are the quicksand
that cannot support your feet,
in which you sink deep
Truth reaches its hand
to pull you out
©RoseGirl2021
It got dark
as the sun dimmed
and clouded himself
with self-sabotaging thoughts
But she believed in him
She had seen his light
Her eyes had caught it
and had kept it burning
in her heart
along with her own light
Inside of her their flames
always danced and shined
together as one
And the sun, who watched her
from a distance
hiding behind clouds, wondered:
How come she shines so bright?
Until he truly dared to look into her
and saw his own reflection
he saw she was his moon
It was the moment that the sun
started to believe in himself
that the dark dissolved
and the light broke through
©RoseGirl2021
The most beautiful roses
are those that fully open
their hearts
©RoseGirl2021
The past needs
our goodbyes
in order for us to see
our hello dawning
on the horizon
©RoseGirl2021
What if I were quiet
as quiet as you would be
If all words are dropped
our hearts would speak
louder than words can
©RoseGirl2021
The sea could never be silent
even if it wished to
even if it tried to
even if it pulled back
and smoothed its waves
it was always heard
within its depths
©RoseGirl2021
Sometimes when words
don’t land on paper
but keep floating
formless and free
in the air
between our hearts
they make the most
beautiful poetry
together
©RoseGirl2021
Here in front of
the old Aachen cathedral
where an emperor is buried
and the past looks grey,
still and gone
Roses bloom colorful
and love feels present
and alive
©RoseGirl2021
Wherever I go
I don’t go anywhere
from you
©RoseGirl2021
With every breath
I blow ‘I love you’s’ in the air
that spread like the clock
of the dandelion
and that fertilize the earth
to grow the most beautiful
flowers for you
©RoseGirl2021
I try to seek words
within the pain
to voice its pounding
and screaming
inside my head
but all I find
are the words
and voice of love
©RoseGirl2021
The words I catch
in the ether
and with which
I write my poems
are but an extract
of what flows
constantly
between our hearts
©RoseGirl2021
A head with harsh ache
lays itself to rest
and finds solace in
soft thoughts of you
©RoseGirl2021
We let the world be the world
with its drawn lines, drawn borders
its wide, blue painted seas,
its scale of distance,
separate countries
and we step into our own world
in which the only lines we draw
are those of poetry
we draw with our fingers
on each other
and the only distance we measure
is between two kisses
©RoseGirl2021
No matter how many times
the tree was hit by storms
how many seasons have passed
regardless of the scars,
it still stands tall
and keeps gracefully moving
in the wind
as it has its roots in deep love
©RoseGirl2021
Sometimes the fire
in the heart
burns so fiercely
for you
Flames that reach out
dance so wild
that they burn
the fireplace
©RoseGirl2021
Thoughts follow the dark
follow fears, pain
and stories
though the heart
that doesn’t think
but feels
– love
follows the sun
©RoseGirl2021
I feel your thoughts
run over my skin
like fingers
as they leave their mark
of tingling desire
and then enter me
to entwine with mine
©RoseGirl2021
When I think I have
a thousand things to do
to be better, to be loved
to be accepted
and I feel like
everything I wish for
is slipping
through my fingers,
then the only thing
I truly have to do
is to just breathe
and love you
©RoseGirl2021
In de morning birds
softly touch the ears
with songs
of a new dawn
like love touches
the heart
to wake up
©RoseGirl2021
Windows
are open at night
to look at stars
and moon
to look
from the heart
and see
you
©RoseGirl2021
At night when the world
has quiet down
and hearts are heard,
thoughts, oceans
and miles fade
until there’s nothing
between us but love
©RoseGirl2021
It isn’t about those
who make you feel
unwelcome
but it’s about
welcome yourself
in love
