Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
Our soul connection
this infinite source of love,
creativity and inspiration
Let’s use the flame we have inside
And create beauty out of pain,
Love out of fear
As we transform our world,
our storylines
By our imagination, songs and poetry

I didn’t trust love
I wanted to control the river,
wanted to hold back or push the waters
I built dams, threw stones in it
And digged the sand out
to let the river change direction
I worked and acted
I did everything
to prevent me from being still
I thought I needed to earn
I needed to prove
And worked even harder
For me to deserve
the love I knew it was mine
but didn’t dare to own
Often I thought
the river wasn’t even real
And just a mirage in my mind
That could be taken away
from me anytime
And because I didn’t trust love
I didn’t trust you, I didn’t trust me
But now, oh beautiful river,
I don’t want to
control you any longer
Please flow
and I will trust
That true love will find its way
on its own always
to where it belongs

Your mind projects
limitations and barriers
obstacles and blockages
As bars in front of you
And now you are caught
behind a fence
Trapped in a cage
But you don’t realize,
That if you would look up
You would see
There is no roof on it
And there is nothing holding you back
to let your heart climb
or fly out
©RoseGirl2019
I’m sorry for the times that I hurt you
For the times that I let the voice of ego speak
Instead of the voice of love
When I reacted to you from a place
of fear, doubt or impatience
Instead from a place of patient, trusting love
I’m sorry for the times I didn’t love myself enough
The times that I needed something from you
That in fact, I needed to give to myself

Let us be stargazers
Moon worshipers
And sun bathers
As those are the lights
in the connecting sky above us
Although we are
continents apart,
those same lights we see
when we look up
©RoseGirl2019
My hurt and fears
come up like weeds
in our garden of love
Please sun, shine upon it
Bring it all to the light
Help me to see,
Help me to clear
So I can transform it
into flowers that blossom
that grow stronger
as they grow in love
©RoseGirl2019
Please find yourself
in all your beauty
in all your shadows
and your light
The love that has awakened you,
now let it love yourself
Find yourself in every corner,
in every beat of your heart
Because through you
it’s me you will find
©RoseGirl2019
My love, your faces
Your sad eyes in black and white
And then behind in colour
the you that tries
to make fun of himself
The you, the cool man in jeans
with a guitar under his arm
And the you that shows
through his eyes his heart
among the green leaves
The playful you that let out
his inner child
and dances in the fields
I love all of your faces
As they all are an expression
of you

While in the far east the sun rises
And here the night falls,
Passion awakens
hungrily
at our table for two
Our feet meet
underneath the table
Our eyes meet
above
Our hands that caress
and entwine
Hearts that dive
in each other’s depths
My lips can already taste you
And want to take you in
Please feed me
with all what you are
You, my beautiful man,
For only you can truly
satisfy me
©RoseGirl2019
Here are my words
You can add yours
We put them in front of us like bricks
Shall we then make together
our cathedral of poetry of it?
©RoseGirl2019
My scared cat,
I give you the space
I let you run away
And let you watch me
from a distance
I won’t move a muscle
But keep still
Until you have the courage
to come closer again
And you feel safe
to sniff
and to cuddle
my entire body
©RoseGirl2019
Truth wants to be seen
Truth wants to be spoken
It will knock on your door
Stronger and stronger
It will chase you wherever you go
Pressure in your chest
Tension in your throat
Truth wants to fly out
A bird that is caged
And wants to break free
©RoseGirl2019
The solar and lunar eclipse
overshadow my heart
And bring even more darkness
to the night
Fears have been stirred up
I’m so afraid to lose
But how can I lose you
As we are like yin and yang
in each other
Even though there are shadows around,
How can the moon lose the sun
and his light that shines upon her
But thoughts try to hold on
try to get back control
And then towers come down
Until there is nothing to hold on
no more but our love
©RoseGirl2019
Here in my heart
I have a room with
the most stunning view
For its window looks out
onto you
©RoseGirl2019
Know you have the arms of love
wrapped around you
and you are safe
Know you’re in each of my prayers
You have your place in each of my poems
My words are built around you
They are your pillars,
Your floor to walk on,
when it feels like all your foundation
is gone
Know that even though
you may think
you don’t know it anymore,
Your heart knows
And more you don’t need to know

She saw in a picture that her beloved,
who lives on the other side of the world,
wore that night a new shirt with roses
She, on her side of the world
had been gifted, just a few hours before,
the same shirt
The person who gave it to her
didn’t know about him or
about her love for roses
So now on both of their chests
The same roses blossom
As a proof of their fated connection
©RoseGirl2019
It’s the middle of the night
And I could write
dozens of poems now
But they would only be
a repetition of three words
I miss you
I miss you
I miss you

She was not like the other sheep
For she had a sensitive heart,
a poetic walk and dreamy eyes
Although she always tried
to fit into the flock
She never truly belonged
The other sheep that all dashed along
in the same direction,
She mostly went in the opposite
She then thought that she was lost
And alone she wandered in the world
She hoped for the shepherd
to leave his flock
to find the one that is lost
But instead the shepherd
sent her her counterpart
that is as dreamy and
sensitive as she is
And through him
she could find herself
©RoseGirl2019
My love for you has no limits
It is not bounded by thoughts,
by country, by time or
by whatever you do
It just flows abundantly
Wherever it wants to go
Even if there are rocks in the river
It will still find its way to you
Even if my mind is confused
and runs away
My love for you stays as it knows
For what, for whom it is here for
and what is its truth
©RoseGirl2019
Okay. Now stop.
Let’s just press the reset button
We’ll clear out all the bugs
And we’ll set us to default
The origin where it all began:
Your eyes and my eyes met
Heaven came down
And from there, let it all
once again naturally unfold
©RoseGirl2019
Great eagle, where are you
Please come to pick me up
And let me climb on your back
To see things from above
For the air is too heavy to breathe
down here
The rivers of emotions are drowning me
And all the trees
prevent me from seeing the woods
Great eagle, let us float in the sky
And see the bigger picture
I will expand my heart
And then all my thoughts will be just
little ants that crawl far below
While I will have clear vision
and see unclouded my beloved
©RoseGirl2019
After a dark night
with eyes wide open
and both of our tears
running down my cheeks,
my heart too heavy
to ascend into dreams,
There is the sun again
More fiery than ever he is:
‘Come on, you need to believe’
©RoseGirl2019
And I skate all alone
in the Dutch night
The Winter, all the cold
and all the distance
between us
I skate it all away
The pulsing warmth in my body
A pause between my thoughts
And the melody of poetry
in every move I make
And then there is just
you and me
I feel
in every breath, in every beat
My love, you’re so much here
In meditative circles I skate
The moon high above
She hides her biggest part
But she is here
And as long as I skate
this moment lasts forever
Always now and here
And you and me
©RoseGirl2019
Compassion is the blanket
we wrap ourselves in
And then everything we have said
or haven’t,
everything we did
or didn’t
doesn’t matter no more
As the wind is blowing outside,
rain is falling
but we are wrapped in the healing warmth of love
©RoseGirl2019
Previous: I Understand – To Him
Previous: I Understand – To Her
I understand
You both were scared
This love is just so big
It goes so deep
It transformed everything
Swept you off your feet
It is spiritual, and beyond
anything you thought was true
It overwhelmed
You didn’t understand
You tried to build your walls
To defend with stories from the past
Tried to apply your old ways
But those didn’t work
As this love asks
for a new approach
You both were scared
I understand
©RoseGirl2019
Previous: I Understand – To Him
I understand
You were in pain
You were scared
When I let the thunder roll
When I let my shadows out
You were shocked
You didn’t understand
You only came to bring me love
You were vulnerable and had never thought
you would get my shadows back
You were in pain
I understand
©RoseGirl2019
I understand
You were in pain
You were scared
Everything had changed
Turmoil everywhere
And you just wanted things
to be normal again,
Although ‘normal’ never brought
you peace
I understand.
You let the thunder roll
You let your shadows out
As they needed to be seen by the light.
You were scared
I understand
©RoseGirl2019
You’re always in my prayers
Packed in sacred words
I let your name
rise up into the heavens
Where the angels will catch it
And will descent with their blessings
to surround you with their light
©RoseGirl2019
You mirrored me
my biggest fears,
my insecurities,
my nightmares
Stories I had made up
in my mind,
You reflected them to me
In the mirror it showed up
for me to heal and to grow
out of ego and into love
You mirrored me my truest self
the purest depths
of my soul
So I could become
the best version of me
Like two dancing flames
we mirrored our light
and our shadows
In the window of love
©RoseGirl2019
When we saw each other,
The stars we had in our eyes,
reflected those in the sky
that had aligned for us
to meet
as we are destined together
to shine in our stardom
©RoseGirl2019
When I looked into your eyes
I recognized
you, my ancient lover
I knew, I felt
we are deeply
connected in soul
For true love
is ancient love
It can never die
It is remembering
Who we truly are
and what we are
to each other
You, my king
And I, your queen
©RoseGirl2019
If the love is deep
Its frequency is high
Our vibrations go up
Intensity between us
Then balance and ground
For anchored love is found
in stillness
©RoseGirl2019
Please, never leave me
Don’t leave me alone
Please, don’t abandon me,
screams the little girl inside
But then the grown woman knows
It’s about not to leave yourself
And light and true love
can never leave
©RoseGirl2019
If I could
I would take over all your suffering
All your burden, I would carry it for you
I would protect you like a lioness
and would fight with your demons,
I would conquer all your fears
I would prevent you
from ever having pain
If I could
But I know, it won’t help you
I cannot save you
I can only hold you in the space of love
For you need to save yourself
It will help you to get stronger
And at the other end of pain,
into love you will grow
©RoseGirl2019
When I see you
I just melt
And become liquid love
You are the sweetest
I have ever tasted
With your
sugar-coated cuteness
©RoseGirl2019
The old ways are the beaten tracks
The well-worn paths trodden down
by the same footsteps
They are anchored in gone days
Safety nets for just in case
But they never really bring far
As they go round and round
The repetitive circles
The loop in your brain
Until you learned your lessons
And you step your way out
onto a new path
©RoseGirl2019
You tried to hide your beauty,
the treasure of your heart
You barked like a dog
Showed your teeth
Dropped your shit
Jumped around
and ran like crazy
And I looked at you in awe
And could only see
how beautiful you are
for you have a lot to hide
if you act like this
©RoseGirl2019
Who are you
Is it what you were told
What people project on you
The words they give you
How they describe you
The image you have
Are you what you think that they think of you
What others want you to be
What you want yourself to be
Their expectations or your own
Or are you what you know
in your heart
The truth in your soul
And what the eyes of love
have reflected you?
©RoseGirl2019
You are in me
like I am in you
through the love we breathe
and that our hearts beat
through our veins
Through the words we write
The melodies we hear
The dreams we dream
The thoughts we think
The future we taste
Through what we know
What we create
Through what we have seen
And what is our fate
You flow through my body
You dance in my heart
You sound in my song
You fly in my mind
And you flame in my soul
©RoseGirl2019
I wanted to react to your post
But I couldn’t find an emoticon
That would express:
‘I love you, I support you, I adore you,
I’m proud of you, I see you, I hear you
I appreciate you’
So then I just hit the like button
But please know
that my simple like
means all of the above
©RoseGirl2019
Missing you
can sometimes
hit me so hard
it takes away my breath
it squeezes my heart
it panics my mind
And then
I run for my words
to fill the
‘missing you’ gap
to build a bridge
And to find
you back
at the end
of my poem
©RoseGirl2019
You came to visit me in my dreams
last night
Your eyes were sad
and your heart weighted
heavily on you
You could not move
I was glad you were there
And like a cat
I cuddled up to you
Your skin absorbed me
We drifted into one another
like sand
And you were brought back
in motion
by the touch of our skin
And when I woke up
You were gone
but on my cheek and my neck
I could still feel your touch
Until it drifted away
like sand
©RoseGirl2019
I feel you so strongly
in my heart these days
Is it your longing
for me that pulls you in?
Like you’ve found
your home there
and you have no intent
to ever leave
And is it my longing for you
that lit the home fire,
the light that your eyes
sought in the dark?
And that wants you to stay
forever in my heart
©RoseGirl2019
What’s on the menu
in our restaurant of love
Do you want it spicy
and really hot
Or sweet and sugar-coated
Fresh, surprising,
Nourishing or
juicy and full-flavoured
We can have an appetizer
Or go directly
to the main course
Do we drink champagne
or passionate, red wine
Do we eat slowly
or jump head over heels
on fast food
Do you want me to taste
your songs one by one
On my lips and on my heart
I will feed you my
poetic words
and will let you swallow
my melodies of four stars
And then
do you want a dessert
to cool down
Or do we go for
another round?
©RoseGirl2019
The white mill stands
like a white church
among the clouds
It connects
heaven and earth
Its reflection caught
in the water
Its wings will be turned
like a wheel of fortune
in the wind
By the gentle hands of angels
Change and movement
will come soon
Stay strong
and have faith
