Words can be misinterpreted
not be heard, twisted
or misunderstood
whereas the heart
always just listens to
what isn’t said

Greater Than Me
Within me it can be
as dark as the night
it screams, it rages
cries and despairs
But what brings in
the light
is a sun
greater than the earth
Loving you
that is greater than me

When It Rains, It Just Rains
I wake up by the sound of rain
is it the pain of a lonely day
of not being seen or heard
is it the pain of missing the sun
missing the touch of you
but does it matter
why clouds gather
and raindrops fall
’cause when it rains,
it just rains

Silent Movie
Amid all the judgments
in a world that makes
too much noise
we are in a silent movie
as our hearts talk
to each other wordlessly
we move inaudibly
to the soundtrack of our love
©RoseGirl2021
Not Alone
Even if I stand
all alone,
in the end
I always stand
with you
©RoseGirl2021
Always With You
If a heart looks and longs
across the ocean
so much, that it almost breaks
it forgets, it has wings of faith
to fly and to always be with you
©RoseGirl2021
From The Ruins
An army of pain
came to attack
and leaves head
and body bruised
and impaired
yet I can still think of you
yet love rises from the ashes
and when arms are too weak
to reach out to it
it reaches out to me
©RoseGirl2021
Having It All
Panicky thoughts get into
a state of needing and lacking
Whereas the heart is having
it all
©RoseGirl2021
When The Heart Feels Its Way Through
Sometimes I wake up with a start
in the middle of the night
My body, my thoughts that search
anxiously for you
All those thousands of miles of distance
piled up like a mountain between us
until the heart feels its way through
and love picks you up
to bring you instantly closer than close to me
©RoseGirl2021
Nocturnal Thoughts
At night the moon
whispers to me
how proud she of the sun
that he keeps shining
and rising
through clouds, fog
even in dark times
and then, I think of you
©RoseGirl2021
Let’s Kiss
When words fail
waters rise high
and around us
storms push and pull
in the midst of all of it
let’s kiss
and anchor our lips,
our tongues
in each other
in fire, in passion
in pleasure
and celebrate love
©RoseGirl2021
What I Feel For You
In many ways
I can tell you
many things
but best is
to just feel it
in your heart
©RoseGirl2021
Colors
Although the day
looks grey
Love radiates
from within
in many colors
©RoseGirl2021
Escape
So much pain
in the head
The mind seeks
an escape
and thinks of
kissing you
©RoseGirl2021
Nesting
I watch love doves
build their nest
in the hazelnut tree
and think of us
We, two love birds
that nest together
in each other’s heart
to give birth
to our desires
©RoseGirl2021
Enough
I may be not like all the others
with their perfect pictures,
perfect art
I’m like the wind
and blow my words
into a poem
without knowing in advance
how they will land
I’m not the others
but I’m me
Enough to fit
perfectly into your heart
©RoseGirl2021
Vehicle
Falling asleep
with the thought of you
is the best vehicle
to my dreams
©RoseGirl2021
In Awe
Sometimes,
my words
keep silent
as they are
so much in awe
of you
©RoseGirl2021
Harmony
I look up to let my eyes fly
along with birds
I sing a song
and let my fingers
dance on strings
I think of you and let poetry
well up in me
to find harmony
in chords, in words, in love
when in and around me
it seems a shaky mess
©RoseGirl2021
Homecoming
And I come home
after a strenuous day
I turn the key,
open the door
sit down, sigh,
think of you
and come home
to love
And then outside
there may be chaos
it may storm, rain
and thunder,
in my heart
I’m warm and safe
with you
©RoseGirl2021
Full
In a dark night
when eyes miss
and distance hurts
I go within
into the sacred temple
of the soul
where we are always
in each other’s arms
where we dance together
throughout eternity
And I let the love and light
that we share
penetrate every cell of my body
Until I float among the stars
and I’m as full and bright
as the moon
Full of me and you
©RoseGirl2021
Bathing In Moonlight
As I lie on my bed
in the dark
and I hear the wolves
of pain howl within,
the full moon shines
through the window
upon me
and makes tears
and skin shimmer
Naked I bathe in her light
and let it absorb and heal me
let it touch, caress me
as if it is your embrace
©RoseGirl2021
Digging Up
Lying still
buried
underneath
a heap of pain
Within I dig up
the treasure
of love

The Bird That Sings At Dawn
Even if nights are dark
and lonely
and headaches and heartaches
rage brutally
There’s always a bird
that sings at dawn
of our love
©RoseGirl2021
The Music Of Words
Even if my words don’t see
the light of day
I always write
with my pen, my hands,
my steps, my heart, my breath
for poetry, the music of words,
is the language
that connects me to you
©RoseGirl2021
She Has A Dream In Her Heart
The clouds in her head
are so heavy and thick
and her uncried tears
of so many years
seem to weigh more
than her feet can carry
In the morning she waits
for the stars
and at night she waits
for the sun
Yet she has a dream
in her heart
She has him in her heart
©RoseGirl2021
The World Belongs To Those Who Play And Love
Right in front of me
in the street
I suddenly see two squirrels
They freely hop
and play around
with each other
as if danger doesn’t exist
in the middle of the city
amidst the chaos
as if the whole big world
belongs to them
My love, what if
those two squirrels
were us?
©RoseGirl2021
Smelling Spring
On my bicycle I fight to wake up
from last night’s nightmares
A soft breeze touches my skin,
tickles my nose
and then straight through
a curtain of morning tears,
I can smell Spring
I can smell all the good of us
©RoseGirl2021
In Your Hands
Hold my hurting heart
carefully
in your hands
and caress it,
kiss it
sing for it
keep it safe and protected
Press it gently to yours
and let it feel
what it’s beating for
where it belongs
©RoseGirl2021
Breaking Silence
Sometimes the silence between us
screams so loudly
that it is deafening
and heart hurting, heart breaking
until I quiet my mind down
and hear you, hear love
again that sings softly within
and breaks not the heart
but breaks any silence
©RoseGirl2021
The Real Nightmare
The real nightmare is not
the terrifying dream I have
in which the skeletons of my
childhood come back to life
but it is when I wake up from that
in the middle of the night
bathing in horrors
and you are not there
©RoseGirl2021
The Same Old Love
And there it is again
the same old pain
that explodes harshly
and mercilessly in my head
almost impossible to bear
and as I lie in my bed
surrounded by darkness
unable to move
I surrender, I breathe, I pray
and feel the same old love
while I think of you
©RoseGirl2021
Flowered Fields
No matter how harsh
and cold the Winter
No matter how many fears,
doubts and worries
have covered the mind
when love shines its sun
and snow and ice melt,
the green flowered fields
of the heart reappear again
©RoseGirl2021
Let’s Play
We are the instruments
and the music is love
©RoseGirl2021
I See Us
It’s not always easy to see
more than other people can see
to see beyond horizons,
beyond time, form, stories and pain
To see light in all its colours
but to also see uncomfortable shadows
But whatever I see,
whatever truths my third eye
may reveal,
in the midst of all of it
I always see me and you
©RoseGirl2021
When I Listen
At night when I keep my body
and mind still
and listen to your heart
I hear it speaking to me
by making me feel
making me know and see
its truth
©RoseGirl2021
Where I Fit In
I don’t fit in any group
or in anything
I fit nowhere
except in your heart
©RoseGirl2021
The Day After
The day after is grey and rainy
like there are many days after
since I last held you in my arms
But any day, one day
it will be the day before
©RoseGirl2021
Sad Songs
I have too many sad songs
within me
that are played
especially in lonely nights,
in lost mornings
or at unexpected times
during the day
Tearful tunes
that only I can hear
Or my love, do you hear
them too?
©RoseGirl2021
Two Hearts
Two bodies on different continents
can be separated by an ocean
But two hearts can never be
separated from love
©RoseGirl2021
Sea Mail
I give the rose to the sea
and the sea takes it
May it travel far
my flower of love
and may it reach you
©RoseGirl2021
Listen To The Sea
And if you listen carefully
to the sea
you hear desire roaring
you hear yearning rolling
and love flowing
as it moves its water
back and forth
from one shore to the other
and speaks about the depths of us
©RoseGirl2021
Lullaby
In the silent cold winter night
pain thunders in the head
and wakes up too many thoughts
The body lies still
and the heart sings a soft lullaby
that all is safe and well
that there is love, there is us
to put pain and thoughts to sleep
©RoseGirl2021
The Truth About The Sun
Sunrise or sunset
it’s all an illusion
Just a matter of perspective
because, if you look above
the atmosphere
you’ll see that the sun
never leaves or returns
but always stays where he is
the way you always
stay with me
©RoseGirl2021
Where To Look At
As I sit down on my yoga mat
to start my morning practice
and grey thoughts create
grey images in my mind,
a line of sunlight falls through
the window on your picture,
on your hopeful face
as if the sun points to me
where, instead, to look at
