The Gift

You gave me a gift
It came as a seed
planted by your eyes
when we first met
and you looked
full of love at me

It needed to grow
It took some time
Before the seed
flowered and reached
its full potential
and I became
all what you had seen
in me
and had sown
and watered
by your eyes

Osiris And Isis

If you would be Osiris
Then I would be your Isis
As king and queen
they ruled the land of ancient Egypt

Together they fought the dark
Osiris got killed,
his body disappeared
But like Isis, I would mourn and weep
And would look for you everywhere

I would seek all over the land
to get back all the pieces of you
And then I would use the fire
Use my great magic
to breathe life back into you

And when all the dark would be defeated
We would be reunited for eternity
for true love even overcomes death
and its sacred kingdom has no real enemies

While The Full Moon Gazes At Me

And while the full moon gazes
at me through the window
I think of
how you always gazed at me,
how your beautiful eyes lit up
in the half dark
when they looked for mine
to lock with
And then it’s almost
like it’s not the moon
that watches me
But it is you
who watches me from afar
and hypnotizes me again
with your bright glow

Keep Going

There you walk on your path
Your footsteps light
Like you said a farewell to old times
and found new ways to go

You painted your sky
in pink, red and purple
And even the stars dance
While the world unfolds itself
like a blossoming flower
on the horizon

As you walk towards the light
you are not afraid no more
to go off the beaten track,
to leave the paved roads
My image in the sky that leads
your heart and directs your feet
I know, you are thirsty
and it’s love
that keeps you alive

Alpha & Omega

If you are the Alpha
then I am the Omega
I end where you begin
I begin where you end
Like an Ouroboros
We go round and round
Until
we can’t see no more
Where it starts and
where it ends
As we circle and unite
in love

You Colour My Sea

In an ocean of millions of drops
You are the only drop for me
that shines brightly among all the others
And colours the whole sea

In a field of hundreds of flowers
You are the only flower
that catches my eyes
And makes my heart bloom

In a sky full of stars
You are the star I gaze at
And wish upon

Jump On My Bike

Jump behind me on my bike, my love
While we ride over the dike
along the river
on this sunny Sunday afternoon
Together we sing
our songs of love
While we fly over the dike
across wide Dutch lands
with the wind behind our wings
and the melodies of the river

She Draws Hearts

And she sits by the river
that flows from the North Sea
straight through her land
and finds its way into Germany
The noise of the water
makes waves in her ears
She breathes the sunlight
A smile on her face
when she thinks of him
and draws hearts
in the sand

A Rose Is Always A Rose

I dreamed it was many years later
and I had grown old
I was afraid to show myself to you
As your wild rose had lost
her bright red colour
And her petals didn’t have
the same strength,
But were hanging down
I was afraid you wouldn’t love me no more
You wouldn’t even recognize me
And maybe, even prefer another rose
Shyly I looked at you
But you, beautiful you
You didn’t even see my wrinkles
You only looked in awe
Locked with my eyes once again
And touched base
with the timeless beauty
inside the rose’s heart

The Sun Is Waiting For You

I see you in a bare, black landscape
Among mountains and shadows
Is it the underworld
of sadness and fear?

Create from your heart
And take your paintbrush
Make a few green trees,
some colorful flowers,
a cat by your side and draw birds

Let me be your light in the dark
Come forward in love
Do not wait for the sun
For the sun is waiting for you
On the other side
of the mountains of fear
There is love

A Celebration Of Love

On this Valentine’s day
I could bring you an ode,
sing you a love song,
I could write you a poem
And tell you
in rhyme and words
in melody and colours
How much I love you
Each day even more

But then I realized,
Words wouldn’t have the right depth
Colours wouldn’t have enough brightness
And each melody would be
too mundane

So then I made in my heart
A celebration of our love
Not for you to read,
to hear or to see
But to feel

More Than We Think

What would the moon see
if she looks down from above
Would she see me staring
and thinking of you?
Would she see you staring
and thinking of me?

Would she see how I look up
at her and the stars at night
And see you doing the same?

Would she see those two flames
burning inside our hearts
Two little lights that light up
from the earth
Would she smile as she sees
distance is relative
and we are connected
even more than we think?

A New Story

I have a new story to write
As this one is better,
much better than the old
I will let out all my butterflies
and they will fill each page
with high vibrating love
I will then poetry you into it
together with me
We will dance our blissful lines
The story will rewrite history
And will create a new tomorrow

Resilience

She fell many times
Battled through rain,
thunder and dark nights
She struggled through mud
She faced the demons
without and within
Often she drowns
in rivers of tears

The rose lost many petals
Storms could hit her
And heavy weather
could bring her down
But always she bounced
back to the sun
As her greatest strength
lies in her heart
Her greatest strength
is love

To Calmer Waters

Follow me to calmer waters
As we sail towards destiny
Have my back, my love
While I hold us steady

I am not afraid no more
to move away
from all that doesn’t serve
my highest good

I am not afraid no more
to be on my own,
to go within
To lead with my heart
And to protect our ship

We are here on open sea
And although there is water all around
In my mind I already see the shore

The Union Of Venus And Mars

Venus was a beautiful goddess
who encompassed love,
desire and victory
She was the rose of Mars

And Mars, her true love,
was the god of masculinity
He was a sacred warrior
as he fought his battles
throughout the universe

And Venus taught Mars
to fight his battles
not with his mind
but with his heart

Mars taught Venus
to stand up for herself
and be the warrior of
their love

And then one day
Venus called her warrior home
As she longed for her man
and peace needed to be restored
in heaven and on earth

And after a long journey
Mars returned to his beloved
In her arms
he found true victory

And they made love to each other
The heavens were shaking
The stars were shining brightly
As they merged
in the glory of love

And then out of their union
Their love child,
the beautiful goddess Harmonia
was born
Because when two lovers
of true love reunite
They bring love,
peace and harmony
to the world

My Wild Man

There is a wild man in you
that is wild at heart
and has wild dreams

A wild man that does not play
by the rules
but follows his own wild ways

He is led by a fire inside,
the tunes in his heart,
the love he envisions in his songs

A wild man that longs
for his wild rose
and to dance with her,
wild and playful

The Love Letter You Gazed Into My Heart

I showed you every part of me
I wrote you every detail of my heart
As I wanted you to see me,
to read my beauty
And to love me within
and beyond my words

And now I realize, I never needed to
For you always see me even with your eyes closed
You saw my light shining
long before I saw it myself

The love letter you gazed into my heart
When you looked at me
I didn’t dare to open it back then
But now, carefully I read
your words one by one
Each word is full of love

If I only had opened it before
I didn’t need to seek your love
in all the words I wrote to you
As all the time inside my heart
your love letter was stored

The Lines Of Our Hands

I hold your hand
and with my finger
I follow each line
on your palm
Pain that left deep traces
Memories that are carved

I then hold my hand
next to yours
And click the paths,
connect the dots

No more loose ends
and lost ways
As the lines together
show a drawing
and tell a beautiful
story of love

What Einstein Said

Since everything is energy,
bring your thoughts
and actions
in alignment with your heart
with what you wish for

Align with love
with positive thoughts
and actions

Like an archer
be one within
be love
And then
when you shoot
your arrows
with your bow
you will aim
at your heart’s desire
and create your world

Dawn Is Never Far

Dawn is never far
It can take some tears
Some yearning
Some battles through the dark

The light can be patiently waited for
Time can be dreamed away
Poems can be written
Moments can be danced
Thoughts can be positively used
or be wasted

But dawn will come
The sun will rise
And what is wished for
upon a star at night
and sown in the heart
will once see the light

A Deep Breath

And with a deep breath
I put the mental chatter to rest
And move into my heart space

I break the chains with
disturbing thoughts and
stories of the past
To make a new future
in this moment

There is gold to find
within the heart
when I lift the veils
to see the truth
As here in this moment,
in this breath
there is love
and there is you

A Cross

Half awake,
with one foot in the dream space
I have a vision of the two of us
We wear medieval clothes
You draw a cross on my forehead
And I draw one on yours
You say: ‘We are brave knights
and forever bonded in this sacred love
We have some battles to fight
As this love is not for the faint-hearted
But faith is by our side
And you are the bravest knight of all
So my love, don’t give up
And remember,
we are marked by a cross.’

My Head To Rest On Your Chest

Please wipe away my tears, my love
And caress my bleeding heart in your hands
May I lay my heavy head to rest on your chest
May I sink into the comfort of the sound
of your heartbeat in my ear
My naked skin on yours
And your arms holding me
Until the night will pass
And the sun will shine again
Until there are no tears left
And my head and heart
can get up by themselves again

©RoseGirl2019

Don’t Worry

In heart I will stand by your side tonight
In your voice you will hear me
sing tenderly to you
I will hold the stars
above your head
as spotlights
Our love will shine
brightly upon you
So you won’t be in the dark
And in your beauty,
in your heart,
you will be
lightened

Homesick

The sky burns
in pink and orange this morning
A nauseous longing
inside of me
A headache knocks
strongly in my head
as my thoughts
scream out for you
My lungs
have a hard time to breathe
A pull in my soul
towards you
And on my cheeks
bittersweet tears

I am exhausted
of the journey
and sick
In my craving for home

Hugging Bears In Arnhem

And in the autumn of 2015
we saw each other in Arnhem,
the Dutch city by the river Rhine
It seemed that the world had gone mad
The war in Syria had just brought
thousands of refugees to my land

As sensitive hearts we were both
deeply affected
And we talked about that
meanwhile our arms
were constantly seeking for each other
Like two hugging bears
we kept giving each other hugs
In a cold Dutch late autumn
We were longing for warmth

In a mad world
in which we both felt lost
and from which we wanted to flee
we hugged each other home that night
As in each other’s arms we found refuge
