What can help to miss you less
What can stop a heart from aching
when no word, no poetry can be a plaster
the only remedy is to love you
even brighter, even bigger,
even deeper and even harder

Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
What can help to miss you less
What can stop a heart from aching
when no word, no poetry can be a plaster
the only remedy is to love you
even brighter, even bigger,
even deeper and even harder

If thoughts try to attack
and the outside world looks
scary and unpredictable
If the ego mind creates
the illusion of separation
and spreads its virus
of doubt and fear
If you search for me in the past
or on the empty spot
next to you in your bed
If your own thinking
tries to pull you away
from yourself
Stay home with me in your heart
and reside with me in love
©RoseGirl2020
Keep them close to your heart
those unseen poems
those unheard songs
and unwritten notes
sing them silently within
write them in the light
of your own eyes
for my heart, my ears will hear
©RoseGirl2020
I walk through the woods
and it’s so quiet here
There’s no one around
but birds that sing
a beautiful symphony
Now the humans
are forced to stay inside
nature takes over
I stand still and listen
In my thoughts I put
my hand in yours
and I think
how perfectly, how naturally
how purely
your tunes, your voice
our love would fit
into this choir of birds
©RoseGirl2020
And when the air
feels thick and heavy
filled with droplets
of sadness and longing
with what was
and what will be
but what is not yet,
I breathe some love
into it
May its lightness
dissolve the clouds,
fill our chests,
fill the moment
and make the air
dance again
©RoseGirl2020
Just seeing your name
makes my heart beat
a little faster
as if those letters make
a gorgeous poem
on their own
©RoseGirl2020
When things feel blue and blurry
sometimes the best thing to do is
to breathe and accept it
and to drink a cup of tea
in the sun
while thinking of you
©RoseGirl2020
Two birds that kept their song
for themselves
only singing it on their own side
of the forest
though always hearing each other
in their hearts,
now find the courage
to sing together
Still in their own tree
softly they sing little hearts
up into the sky
But their tune will become
louder and stronger
as they grow in sharing their love
©RoseGirl2020
Once the line is crossed
Truths are spoken
The world opens for us
©RoseGirl2020
Give me your hands
I’ll put them on my heart
let them find peace there
Let them sense
movement and sound
Let them find harmony
Let them rise and fall
and dance to my breath
Let them hold my heart
and receive
all the love I have for you
©RoseGirl2020
Sometimes the word
that does not rhyme
is the perfect word
A song sung slightly
out of tune but straight
from the heart
is the perfect song
An image grainy,
pixelated but made
with clear vision
is the perfect picture
Love depicted
Love expressed
in your own way
is the perfect way
©RoseGirl2020
Sometimes, things
need to fall apart
to come back together
and fit better
in a new way
©RoseGirl2020
On this spring day
I sit in my backyard
with a cup of coffee
in my hands and watch
the birds and cats
– or do they watch me?
As I think of you and watch
your image
projected on the screen
of my heart
my smile shines
a thousand rays of poetry
upon the world
– my love, do you see?
©RoseGirl2020
I draw my attention inward
to connect and have
my moments with you
©RoseGirl2020
We might think we find
safety and security in
money, in possessions, in work
in a location or in certain people
but when it all falls apart
we learn that true security
can only be found in ourselves
in surrender, in trust
and in love
©RoseGirl2020
Even sadness can soothe
for every emotion
is just another wave
I ride together with you
©RoseGirl2020
At night I can turn off my phone
I can close the curtains,
close my eyes
and can shut down the world
though my connection with you
always remains open
©RoseGirl2020
I can say ‘good night’
in many ways
But there’s no ‘good night’
so sweet and tender
like a ‘good night’ that
I say to you
as even those ordinary words
have a warm glow
when they in fact mean
‘I love you’
©RoseGirl2020
I see more fire in your eyes
a stronger intent and
more presence of you
As if you’re more comfortable
in your own heart
Did love awaken you
I see dreams in your eyes
Not far, not out of reach
But they’re more tangible now
Your eyes do see
much more
than they’ve ever seen
©RoseGirl2020
If we can’t go outside,
if the world is closed
we go within
where we have worlds
to discover
we wander together
in thoughts of each other
and follow the traces of love
We journey in
feelings and images
in glitter and magic
and find freedom
in the spaciousness
of our hearts
©RoseGirl2020
If my love for you
could be given in gold
You’d be the richest man
in the world
©RoseGirl2020
Whenever I fall
into insecurity and sadness,
Whenever I get lost
It’s always you
who catches,
who finds me
on the inside
as you reassure
and soothe me
through the heart
©RoseGirl2020
We look out the window
of our rooms
Inside two candles burn
Two flames that dance together
to remind us that no wall
can keep us apart
You and me, we keep
looking at the sky
where clouds, sun, moon and
stars float by
from me to you
I write you love letters
and make paper airplanes
to cast out of my window
The wind takes a deep breath
and sighs them all the way
across the ocean
where they land
on the sill of your heart
©RoseGirl2020
Two daffodils bloom in the forest
Two best friends, two lovers that,
despite the grey and cold
scenery around them
continue to hold on to
their own true colours
as they stand tall together
in the promise of Spring
©RoseGirl2020
Maybe, we can’t afford expensive stuff
we don’t have a lot of money
We can’t give much
but we have our hearts,
we have true love
to offer to each other
which is the greatest luxury
in the world
©RoseGirl2020
I started to write
as I wanted to tell you many things
about what’s going on
I could fill many pages
with my words,
write many poems
to depict my life, my heart to you
But then I put the pen aside
as I realized
we can say everything
to each other
with no word at all
©RoseGirl2020
It is quiet here in the woods
where we only hear birds singing
and the sound of our breath
My fairy man, the tears that flow
from our eyes,
are those tears of joy or tears of sadness
But does it even matter
as the weather always changes
everything always changes
Except the love in our hearts
And although we may long to stay here
safe in our dreams
where we always hold each other
and where the outside world
can do us no harm,
fairies are meant to go out and go up,
to play, to fly, to sing and to dance
and to create and tell their tales
to spread their love and magic
sparkle their dreams
for we need each other
and the world needs fairies like us
©RoseGirl2020
When I wake up
in the middle of the night
and I hear my own heartbeat
loudly longing for you
©RoseGirl2020
If I didn’t have you
your presence always with me
your song in my heart
your sun in my eyes
If I didn’t have you
in these tumultuous times
of illness and insecurity
My words would have no source
and would have nowhere to go
My days would lack the music
My feet would have no reason to dance
For if I didn’t have you
I wouldn’t have the bright light
of love in my heart that,
no matter how dark the darkness,
shines me through it
©RoseGirl2020
She had seen the most beautiful things
Sunsets and sunrises
Views from the top of mountains
Fields of flowers, pieces of art,
palaces, cathedrals
that left her breathless
Beauty that brought tears to her eyes
But seeing her man showing his heart,
showing himself pure and vulnerable
how he had changed and had grown
and was facing his fears
Although she had seen the most beautiful things
there was nothing more beautiful than that
©RoseGirl2020
I breathe your love in
like it is my oxygen
that softly fills
my infected lungs
to heal them
Your gold that finds its way
through my bloodstream
and transmutes the virus
as you let my cells vibrate
at the frequency of love
©RoseGirl2020
When I lie in my bed alone
and awake at night
and my heart catches your heart
broadcasting love
at the other end of the world
Radio waves that come to touch
and stroke me
And almost as if you’re ‘live’ here
beside me,
you lullaby me into sleep
©RoseGirl2020
And somewhere in the woods
where the sun shines magically
through a roof of branches and leaves
two wise owls, two old souls
sit hugged up
with each other on a branch
and they smile peacefully
Whatever may happen outside the woods
Whatever is going on around
the turmoil of the world cannot
truly reach them
For they have the gift of
multidimensional sight
and see clearly, even in the dark
Thus they know that the soul,
know that their love is unshakable
©RoseGirl2020
I may post a little less than usual
these days as I am dealing with
health issues
Have my eyes that look
through the window,
catch sunlight and see
the new buds in the tree
Have my heart that catches
your song, that sees hope
and knows love
Have my home, my support
my thoughts and poetry
Have my now and my future
for all that I have is yours too
©RoseGirl2020
In quarantine
I feel connected
as between these walls
in this small room
I share my vast
heart space with you
©RoseGirl2020
May the Spring sing
all over the planet
may it sing its song of hope
and rebirth
May its gentle breeze
warm the scared and
lonesome hearts
May its light shine
into every corner
find every crack
May the Spring sing its promise
that it will come
that things will change
even when the Winter
is tough and harsh
My love, may we be
the harbingers
may we dance in the forefront
for we have love blossoming
inside our hearts
©RoseGirl2020
Sing me a song
a soft, soothing melody
to pull me out of fear
and sadness
and back beside you
Back to my place
where I belong
We’ll sing together
of our love
We’ll shine our light
in times of darkness
As we both hear
the call on our soul
the inner song
an ancient tune
to take our place
and stand strong
to share with the world
what’s in our hearts
our treasure of love
©RoseGirl2020
When the world
falls apart
Love holds us both
firmly together
©RoseGirl2020
When I am in the grocery store
people around me are panic buying
and we are all forced
to keep 1,5 meter distance
from each other
indicated on the floor by lines,
I feel you so close with me
which makes me feel oneness with all
And with our love that burst
from my heart like a bright light
I embrace everyone at a distance
as love knows no danger, no lines
©RoseGirl2020
In these times of uncertainty
know what is certain
when you feel in your heart
©RoseGirl2020
I bathe in the light of the sun
as if it is you
And you warm me,
you light me up
and make me forget
about the world,
the time behind and before me
You charge my heart
so I can dance the day,
dance the moment
For the sweetest, softest
most powerful
most beautiful energy
is to be in love with you
©RoseGirl2020
Just like a flower that opens
and closes its petals
in reaction
to light and darkness
Fear closes the heart off
where love opens it
©RoseGirl2020
Step with me into the pool
of our love
We bathe, we swim,
we play, we float
We clean our minds,
our hearts, our bodies
with its sacred waters
for fear disappears
when we immerse ourselves
in love
©RoseGirl2020
The Netherlands may be in lockdown
but I open my heart even more
to let love flow to you in all its colours
and build a rainbow of hope
that bridges the ocean
©RoseGirl2020
When I lie in bed in the dark
and a storm is raging
around and within me
My body is battling a virus
My mind is battling fear
I find the eye of the storm
in my heart
where you are
