I listen to your silence
and I hear the unsaid
I hear all your
unspoken words
and I Iisten even deeper
I hear your soul song sing
and how it harmonizes
with mine

I listen to your silence
and let it speak, let it
sing to me
And I hear the orchestra
of your heart,
your uncensored voice
of wisdom

So don’t be afraid, my love
if your throat cannot voice
For even a silence
cannot silence you
You’ll always
still be heard by me

We tried to fit
into the ordinary
Though we were
never meant for it
Instead,
we were meant for
extraordinary love

©RoseGirl2019

When my waters flow strongly
Let your arms be my dikes
that hold me
and that keep me into place

©RoseGirl2019

And sometimes it’s good
to put down the pen
to take a pause
and be like the white
of the paper
and hold space
to receive the words

And instead of only
sending love out,
letting love in,
letting you in

To open the blinds
before my heart
and let the rays of your sun
shine its love letters
on my inside

©RoseGirl2019

When I’m so tired
of a world full of noise
all I want is
to lay my head
on your chest
To unplug the world
and be only plugged
into your heart

©RoseGirl2019

Do you long for home
like me
For our bodies to connect
Our arms to entwine
Our eyes to lock

Sometimes it feels so close
that you can already taste it,
smell it, sense it
As if you only need to reach out
your hand to open the door

And at times the mind may
fool the physical eyes
and it may look like home is
miles away, a world apart
And the journey seems so long
and exhausting
You seem lost and you wonder
how long it yet will take

And sometimes, it feels like
you have arrived
and you are home
You feel me, I feel you
As if we’re already there
And you taste me, I taste you
You smell me, I smell you
In the arms of the heart
we have enclosed each other

Home is here, my love
It is waiting for us
Do not let your mind,
your eyes fool you
But feel it, taste it, smell it
and our feet, our hands,
our arms, our eyes will follow

©RoseGirl2019

Our love is like a free bird
that flies high and gracefully
in the sky
We couldn’t catch it
We couldn’t cage it in our hearts

But instead, we had to break
free from the chains,
from what held us down
We had to grow our own wings,
rise above ourselves and
surrender to the wind

Just like our love,
we had to become
free birds as well

©RoseGirl2019

When the love has grown so great
that no word can even come close
to describe it accurately
and every word in fact only detracts,
then it is better to leave the rest
of the page blank

©RoseGirl2019

My heart bursts with poetry
that doesn’t want
to be put in words on a paper
but that just wants
to dance, love, feel its way
straight to your heart

©RoseGirl2019

The mind fears distance
The mind fears time

Whereas the heart
knows no separation
The heart knows
only infinite love

©RoseGirl2019

Every time
I see a picture of you
I smile a smile of
a thousand rays of love

©RoseGirl2019

I like to write and write and write
All day long and even at night
I wake up to take pen and paper

But maybe, it is not about the words
and producing many poems
But it’s more about being in the flow
of creation
to connect to my muse even deeper
and to dance love wherever I go

©RoseGirl2019

The full moon,
I don’t look for her outside
But I find her within me
as a glowing ball
inside my heart
that is lit up
by your internal sun
And I feel the tension
between those two
the attraction, the pull
deep love
Your sun, my moon
perfectly aligned

Together we can light
the whole world

©RoseGirl2019

You handed me a gift
It was wrapped in several
layers of paper
It took me many years
to unpack it

At times, when I took off a layer
and I got a glimpse of
what could be inside,
I got scared
and again, quickly covered it

At times, I even put it aside
stored it on a hidden shelf
But it always seemed to
catch my attention
and to demand my
devotion and courage

The more layers I removed,
the softer it felt
and the more love glowed
from inside

Until I was brave enough
to fully face it,
to not run away from it no more
Until my eyes were strong enough
to handle its brightness
Until my mind had become
humble enough to serve
Then I took off the last layer

I saw that you had gifted me
my own heart in all its beauty
and purity
You had made me unpack
its ability to love wholly and fully
And there, I found you inside

©RoseGirl2019

I am your silky soft paper
Write your words on me
Kiss them one by one
slowly onto my lips
Breathe them into my heart
Draw ornate letters
with your tongue
Let the ink flow abundantly
on my body
And make me quiver with
touching poetry
from head to toe
and soul deep

©RoseGirl2019

She looked at her beloved, her king
Then looked at herself and said:

You seem to have so much
and I seem to have so little
The words with which I build
my poems are not perfect
My house of poetry
doesn’t look perfect either
Does that make you
a big tall tree
on your high throne
for everyone to see
and to be admired
and me just a small wild rose
hidden in the grass

The king kneeled
down before her,
took her hands and smiled:

You don’t have little
You have the whole world
inside of you
We both are two tall trees
that reach for the sky
and dance gracefully in the wind
And we are two wild roses
that colour the fields
with their love
It is not about the perfect words,
the perfect clothes
with which you dress
yourself up
But it’s about the light
that shines through,
it’s the heart
that makes a queen,
it’s the heart
that makes a perfect poem

©RoseGirl2019

There seem to be
many matters:
Personal matters
Complicated matters
Important matters
No laughing matters
Great matters
of the mind

But in the end
those matters
don’t really matter
for it all truly is
only a matter of love

©RoseGirl2019

When I was a child
I was the strange bird
in the nest
I didn’t fit in, I didn’t belong

I always imagined and hoped
that my family wasn’t
my real family
And one day my real parents
would come for me
to save me from the nightmare
in which I grew up

But no one came,
the nightmare continued
Was I then completely alone
in this world,
I wondered for a long time
Until I met you
and you woke me up

And I saw that mother earth
had always carried me
Father heaven had protected me
The angels had my back
as my family
And I had and have you
always by my side

©RoseGirl2019

I always knew
But suddenly I felt it
How sensitive
your heart truly is
Transparent, fragile,
Of breathtaking purity
Colourful and healing
like crystal
I never felt anything more
beautiful than your heart
And I understood
why you had needed
to protect it

©RoseGirl2019

As this is forever love,
why then worry about ever,
worry about what happened,
and what may yet come
For in the light of forever
all temporary worries
will instantly be burned away

©RoseGirl2019

A heart that storms, that rains,
that waves, that cries, that yearns,
that moves, that longs
As it is pulled
to you so strongly
that it could jump
out of my chest
over the ocean
to go to you on its own

©RoseGirl2019

And she said:

Who am I
Am I a poetess
Is it useful to write
Do my words contribute
anything
to anyone,
to a better world
Is it enough
Am I enough
Who am I

And he said:

Your words are
a pure expression
of your soul
A gift from the heavens
Cherish it
Express yourself
as much as you can
To remind others of
their true essence
Your words are the stars
in the sky
If you don’t know
who you are,
Remember, how I looked
you into your eyes
How I mirrored you
your purest self
Remember my gaze
and know
that you are love
and that is your purpose

©RoseGirl2019

Late at night
do you hear me tell you
all my stories
the ones that are only
meant for you

The princess
that finds her prince
The knight
that finds his lady

Sweet good night tales
that lullaby you
magically to sleep
Only to wake you up
to our dreamland

©RoseGirl2019

Maybe, I don’t need to go anywhere
I don’t need to travel to other places
I don’t need to do anything
I don’t need to fix or solve,
earn or achieve

I don’t even need to make
or write poetry
But I can just be
I can just feel
I can just breathe
and exist

And I will still be okay
I will still be valuable
I will still be loved by you

©RoseGirl2019

Your fingers glide over the guitar
I close my eyes
And hear you play
the most beautiful sunrise
over a land far away
And I see the golden light
delicately streamed
by your fingers
as you play on the strings
of your heart
and let its rays caress me

And I feel you
How I feel you
Could we be more intimate,
more vulnerable like this
Your naked tune
that finds its way into me
And you go deeper and deeper
When the soul makes love
through the heart
time and space,
even the boundaries of a body
fall away

©RoseGirl2019

When magic meets magic
When your magical existence
comes together with mine
what an outburst of magic
that is
When all becomes possible
we’ll be in Wonderland
all the time

©RoseGirl2019

While reading your journal
you wrote me right into your heart
Where I walked together with you
on your journey
Every step I was by your side
Holding your hand
Crying your tears
Watching the sunrise
Hearing the heavenly music
of the sacred land
Seeing beyond and into other worlds
where spirits guide us
Feeling your roots growing into the earth
and receiving the blessing
Reaching a place of emotions
where words cannot come
Welcome home, my love
to the magic
of your own pure heart

©RoseGirl2019

When I see a picture of you
and can’t write a poem about it
as the picture is of such
beauty and vulnerability
that every word would detract
from the image that already is
pure poetry itself

©RoseGirl2019

And he said:

Love yourself as much
as you love me
You don’t want to hurt me,
then don’t hurt yourself
Don’t put yourself down
don’t judge yourself harshly
But talk to yourself
the way you write poetry
about me
and let your own dancing words
heal you from inside

©RoseGirl2019

Come home to yourself
Build up your own house
Discover every room
Own every spot
of who you are
For only there,
you will be at home
with me

©RoseGirl2019

And if I would paint the world
with all the colours of love
I feel for you in my heart,
there would be no grey spot
no more

©RoseGirl2019

And I bring the darkness to the light
The old stories, the fears, the shadows
The ego capitalism, all the consumption,
the needing, the wanting
my worthless possessions,
my illusions, my person protections,
the expectations, the assumptions
I let go and release
to start all over on the white of a new page
and let only love write further our story

©RoseGirl2019

I am like a running deer
I run from my fears
I run from myself
and thus from you

I run from happiness
I run from the past
but then with
wide open eyes I run
into its headlights

Here in the middle of these woods
where I run from my shadow,
let me drink
from the sacred pool of love
and let me again find stillness

©RoseGirl2019

Thank you, my love
for who you are
for the light that you shine
in my heart
for the poetry you make
in my life
for this special bond that we have
the eternal love that we share
for you being beautifully you

©RoseGirl2019

My mind keeps telling me
that I am lost, that all is lost
It runs, fears and worries
in all directions
And creates a dark maze

Though I only need to go
where my heart is
’cause that’s where you are
that’s where love is
that’s where I can find myself
A bright open space
where I’ll never be lost

©RoseGirl2019

The night that we saw each other
in the Dutch countryside
When I stepped out of my car
with high heels
I stepped into the mud
Among the cows I wore
a chic dress
And you were so beautiful
and stylish in your suit

And although in that entourage
we were both the only ones
that were completely out of tune
we were perfectly in tune
with each other

©RoseGirl2019

You stand with your back
against a dartboard
As if you’re in the line of fire
And you expect life to throw
its arrows at you

But my darling,
cupido has already shot
the arrow of true love
right into the bullseye of your heart
so rest assured you’re protected
with love as your armour
you have nothing to fear

©RoseGirl2019

Show me all that is alive in you
Even if all seems dead and dark,
then show me that
Tell me more about your fears
of a grey Christmas
Images in hopeless black and white
Show me all the sadness
Flowers that are wilted and
a caged bird

Show me all, my darling
I’ll be your Christmas fairy
And I’ll blow the colours
and the magic back
into your inner world

©RoseGirl2019

Remember, my love
we are old souls
Infinite beings of light
We came here to
learn our lessons
by living our stories
as we have lived
many stories before

Although our path is hard
It’s never harder
than we can take
we’re equipped
with all that we need
we have each other
And all our pain
we carry it together
to transform it into
even brighter love
