When you feel like
you cannot dance anymore
When you’re wounded
your heart heavy with ache
when it’s dark all around
and it rains,
then it’s the most important
to dance on

©RoseGirl2021

Close your eyes
and take flight
with me
to leave my heavy heart,
my heavy body
filled with pain
Like birds we soar
in endless skies
of possibilities
to see again
beyond the earth

And when my own skin
calls me back,
my beating heart
seeks its owner
and her beloved
and we land together
back in the home
of the body, of the heart
where you belong with me,
then please keep reminding me
of the birds that we are
and that whatever it is
it is safe to feel

©RoseGirl2021

Like the sun that sinks
in the sea when it sets
I fall in you
into your waters
where I merge, wave
and sway with you
calm and wild
to the tides of love
and as I rise again
your water in me
my light in you
mirror and reflection
become one
we climax together
on the horizon
in a fiery explosion
of colour and light

©RoseGirl2021

And it’s faith
that waters the seeds
of dreams
that are planted
in the fertile soil
of our love

©RoseGirl2021

Sometimes, I don’t have
a lot of words
but I hold you within
in tingling silence

©RoseGirl2021

No matter how deep
and vast the waters
of sadness are,
there’s always a bottom,
there’re banks of love
that hold it all

©RoseGirl2021

Desire burns fervently in eyes
that gaze at the glowing moon
knowing that eyes
on the other side of the world
will look and burn too

©RoseGirl2021

I tried to write
the most depressing,
heartbreaking, desperate,
bad scenario poems
but then my muse of love
takes over the pen
and writes it back
to hope

©RoseGirl2021

Super full moon, pull
everything out of me
that isn’t of the purest love
all the dark thoughts,
the fear narratives,
the pain, the missing him
so I can shine fuller
with love

©RoseGirl2021

If the ocean
if words
if silence
if time
could never part us
then we must be
on the same shore

©RoseGirl2021

Missing you
only means:
Find yourself
and in you
you’ll always
find him

©RoseGirl2021

Thoughts of you
pop up like
colourful heather
on bare sand dunes

©RoseGirl2021

When time takes so long – too long
and every more day
feels like a mountain
in front of me
and I look for you, where you are
are you already coming
I use the wings of love to go up
and see from above
What is beneath perceived
as time distance
is in fact just one big now
What seems to be over there
is always here

©RoseGirl2021

I miss you, I miss you,
screams the voice
in my head

How can you miss
someone who
lives inside of you
who is as close
as your own heart
and will never cross
the border of your skin,
whispers the voice of love

©RoseGirl2021

When the ego yells,
rages, cries,
stamps its feet
like a dark cloud
that causes rain
and thunder
I let the sun
of my love for you
embrace it with its rays
and shine through it

©RoseGirl2021

I can write to anyone
and send my letters,
my stories and poems
into the world
but my words only
truly come alive
when they can dance
to you

©RoseGirl2021

Water is rolling towards me
threateningly
and I look over
to the other side
that beckons and calls me
so far it seems
so close it feels
the heart already grasps
what the eyes yet
cannot hold
for it knows
it has wings to fly

It knows that
on the other side
of the ocean,
of fear,
of separation
there’s you

©RoseGirl2021

I run ahead
of my words,
leave the styled
sentences
behind me
and rush towards
the finish line
of this poem
as I burst
to just write down
I love you

©RoseGirl2021

The past is like an old coat
that we can take off
for it doesn’t suit us anymore
We’re not who we were
but who we have become

©RoseGirl2021

Souls meet in the night
dance and make love
Not bounded
to thoughts or skin
they touch more intimately
than hands can
and go deeper within

©RoseGirl2021

As eyes move
back and forward
in the dark
between memories
and visions
they write you
letter after letter
on the pages of the night
and tell you
everything about
what they see
when they look deep
into love

©RoseGirl2021

Moon, where are you
as it is so dark outside
My love, where are you
as my arms have nothing
to hold

Are you there, within me
as it is so bright inside
and where the heart has
the whole universe to hold

©RoseGirl2021

It’s when the body hurts
and is exhausted,
the head badly aches,
the mind is numb
that the heart still loves
passionately
and dances on
and on and on

©RoseGirl2021

I’ve started to dance
here in these streets
Free is the mind,
free is the heart
What are you waiting for
come dance with me, my love
leave the shadows,
leave the past
take my hand and dance
with me, my love
to the music in our hearts
that craves to be danced,
to be voiced, to be moved
to be made, to be shown

©RoseGirl2021

Each day,
each breath,
each step,
each poem
is a stone
of the bridge
we’re building
to cross the sea
of longing
and connect
two shores
in one dream

©RoseGirl2021

Sometimes
I just need
the silence
so I can hear
you whisper
from deep
within the soul
again

©RoseGirl2021

When there’s a heavy cloud
above my head
that rains ‘I miss you’s’
I take a happy thought,
a dream of you and me
to rise up and fly
in blue, vast skies
and leave the clouds
far underneath me

©RoseGirl2021

I seek the sun outside
but all I see is darkness
I seek colours
but instead,
find a grey world
pictured in black and white

Then love lights up
in the heart
And I understand
Rainbows aren’t made
in the sky
for no matter how dark it gets
out there,
we carry the light within
and thus,
are our own hope

©RoseGirl2021

Right when I’m falling,
angels grab me
and hold me upright
urge me to believe
as they sing
of a new dawn that
is coming

©RoseGirl2021

Fields stretch out before me
as far as the eyes can see
Birds surf the wind
in an endless sky
Nothing that can hinder the wind
to freely breathe out its air
Nothing that can hinder my heart
And I feel how vast our love is
