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

©RoseGirl2019

And she asks the angels
to look after him
to wipe away his tears
and bandage his wounds
to stand before him,
behind him and
everywhere around
to lighten his path
to hold him
and to do all
that she now
cannot do herself

©RoseGirl2019

I hold you against my chest
My arms harbour you
Even if all falls apart
In my heart, in love
you’re always safe
and secure from any storm

©RoseGirl2019

I send you one thousand kisses
so for every opportunity,
you’ll have a kiss in stock

Kisses to heal the wounds
in your heart
Kisses to celebrate your joys
Kisses to inspire
Kisses to warm you up
Kisses to calm you down

My kisses are multifunctional
multiple times usable
They get activated
by the power of thought

They have no additives
They are organic
as their only ingredient
is pure love

©RoseGirl2019

It may look like
the moon is not there tonight
but what no one can see
is that behind a curtain of clouds
she has her own heart-to-heart time
with her beloved, the sun

They exchange
She receives him deeply within
And as they dance silently
in devotion to each other
they make the seas move on earth
in undulating passion
of ebb and flow

©RoseGirl2019

And I take a breath
and pick you up
as I always pick you up
to fill me from the inside
with you
and to anchor in love

I pick you up
straight through all the fears
straight through the chaos
My breath find its way to you
to let you rise inside of me
to find back my strength

©RoseGirl2019

And if we were both
in a movie right now
Filmed by an all seeing eye
The watchers would see

A shot of me in the kitchen
while I cook a dinner
Staring, melancholic eyes
that try to find you
in my inner world

Perry Como’s song
‘It’s impossible’ plays
in the background
For it is impossible
not to think of you

Then a shot of you
in another scene,
another time zone,
another country
sitting in your chair
staring, melancholic eyes
that try to find me
in your inner world

Those two scenes
that play at the same time
on the same screen
that erase any distance
between us
Those watchers would see
infinite truth

©RoseGirl2019

The sea is wild
The waves almost seem violent
The way the water crashes onto us

But we have our solid raft
to hold on to
a strong foundation of poetry
and songs
to keep the hope alive
and to have courage
That always follows
the stream of our hearts

For no matter how dark the night is
and how loud the sea may rage
Love is always the strongest force of all
After every storm a calm will come

©RoseGirl2019

Pain is the shedding of skin
It is the caterpillar that dies
in his dark cocoon
to make room for the butterfly

Pain is to be physically
separated from you
Only to see that
in heart we’re never apart

It is stomach pain, headache,
sleepless nights that scream
to leave the old in the past
and let go to be free

Pain is questioning
what your soul whispers to you
It is resistance
as you fear the unknown
and you don’t want to hurt others

Pain is like squeezing contractions,
the movement of muscles to push out
and birth ourselves anew into our love

©RoseGirl2019

Only when
I’m completely myself,
I can love you completely

©RoseGirl2019

Oh sexy man in suit,
that dreamy smile
in your eyes says it all,
You think of the night ahead
You think of your lady in dress
You think of a dinner for two,
a dance floor to conquer
You think of fiery lips that kiss
You think of fiery hands that touch
You think of a suit and a dress
on the floor
You think of…. oh boy, oh boy

©RoseGirl2019

I embrace the you in me
I give you a thousand kisses
And hold you so tenderly
and lovingly in the arms
of my inner world
May the you outside of me
feel the warmth inside of him
of this inner hug

©RoseGirl2019

If you wonder who you are,
what your place is
in this world,
how to name yourself,
Then know, you are
your inner light
and you always have
your place
with me in love

©RoseGirl2019

And she said:

If you start a new chapter
am I still with you on the new page
Or do you leave me behind
in the grave of old stories
Buried in my own pain,
never to be read again
Is my existence erased,
who am I if I’m no one,
if I’m nothing
and don’t even have a name

And he said:

See yourself in me
With each part of myself that I
acknowledge, I acknowledge you
As I integrate all pieces,
I integrate you even deeper
So how can I not take you with me
into the lines of the new chapter
You don’t see you on the new page,
for while writing the book of life,
we’re holding the pen together

©RoseGirl2019

There are many things
I can think about
Each day a crowd of thoughts
bustles and pushes
to be thought by me

There are the worries
that always try to be first
The happy thoughts
that jump up and down
Big thoughts about big dreams
And little thoughts that are
unnecessary

On the screen of my mind
I can project the whole world
But among all those thoughts
playing out in my head each day
You’re my favourite thing
to think about
