Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
In a dark night
when eyes miss
and distance hurts
I go within
into the sacred temple
of the soul
where we are always
in each other’s arms
where we dance together
throughout eternity
And I let the love and light
that we share
penetrate every cell of my body
Until I float among the stars
and I’m as full and bright
as the moon
Full of me and you
©RoseGirl2021
As I lie on my bed
in the dark
and I hear the wolves
of pain howl within,
the full moon shines
through the window
upon me
and makes tears
and skin shimmer
Naked I bathe in her light
and let it absorb and heal me
let it touch, caress me
as if it is your embrace
©RoseGirl2021
Lying still
buried
underneath
a heap of pain
Within I dig up
the treasure
of love
©RoseGirl2021
Even if nights are dark
and lonely
and headaches and heartaches
rage brutally
There’s always a bird
that sings at dawn
of our love
©RoseGirl2021
Even if my words don’t see
the light of day
I always write
with my pen, my hands,
my steps, my heart, my breath
for poetry, the music of words,
is the language
that connects me to you

The clouds in her head
are so heavy and thick
and her uncried tears
of so many years
seem to weigh more
than her feet can carry
In the morning she waits
for the stars
and at night she waits
for the sun
Yet she has a dream
in her heart
She has him in her heart

Right in front of me
in the street
I suddenly see two squirrels
They freely hop
and play around
with each other
as if danger doesn’t exist
in the middle of the city
amidst the chaos
as if the whole big world
belongs to them
My love, what if
those two squirrels
were us?

On my bicycle I fight to wake up
from last night’s nightmares
A soft breeze touches my skin,
tickles my nose
and then straight through
a curtain of morning tears,
I can smell Spring
I can smell all the good of us
©RoseGirl2021
Hold my hurting heart
carefully
in your hands
and caress it,
kiss it
sing for it
keep it safe and protected
Press it gently to yours
and let it feel
what it’s beating for
where it belongs
©RoseGirl2021
Sometimes the silence between us
screams so loudly
that it is deafening
and heart hurting, heart breaking
until I quiet my mind down
and hear you, hear love
again that sings softly within
and breaks not the heart
but breaks any silence
©RoseGirl2021
The real nightmare is not
the terrifying dream I have
in which the skeletons of my
childhood come back to life
but it is when I wake up from that
in the middle of the night
bathing in horrors
and you are not there
©RoseGirl2021
And there it is again
the same old pain
that explodes harshly
and mercilessly in my head
almost impossible to bear
and as I lie in my bed
surrounded by darkness
unable to move
I surrender, I breathe, I pray
and feel the same old love
while I think of you
©RoseGirl2021
No matter how harsh
and cold the Winter
No matter how many fears,
doubts and worries
have covered the mind
when love shines its sun
and snow and ice melt,
the green flowered fields
of the heart reappear again
©RoseGirl2021
We are the instruments
and the music is love
©RoseGirl2021
It’s not always easy to see
more than other people can see
to see beyond horizons,
beyond time, form, stories and pain
To see light in all its colours
but to also see uncomfortable shadows
But whatever I see,
whatever truths my third eye
may reveal,
in the midst of all of it
I always see me and you
©RoseGirl2021
At night when I keep my body
and mind still
and listen to your heart
I hear it speaking to me
by making me feel
making me know and see
its truth
©RoseGirl2021
I don’t fit in any group
or in anything
I fit nowhere
except in your heart
©RoseGirl2021
The day after is grey and rainy
like there are many days after
since I last held you in my arms
But any day, one day
it will be the day before
©RoseGirl2021
I have too many sad songs
within me
that are played
especially in lonely nights,
in lost mornings
or at unexpected times
during the day
Tearful tunes
that only I can hear
Or my love, do you hear
them too?
©RoseGirl2021
Two bodies on different continents
can be separated by an ocean
But two hearts can never be
separated from love
©RoseGirl2021
I give the rose to the sea
and the sea takes it
May it travel far
my flower of love
and may it reach you
©RoseGirl2021
And if you listen carefully
to the sea
you hear desire roaring
you hear yearning rolling
and love flowing
as it moves its water
back and forth
from one shore to the other
and speaks about the depths of us
©RoseGirl2021
In the silent cold winter night
pain thunders in the head
and wakes up too many thoughts
The body lies still
and the heart sings a soft lullaby
that all is safe and well
that there is love, there is us
to put pain and thoughts to sleep
©RoseGirl2021
Sunrise or sunset
it’s all an illusion
Just a matter of perspective
because, if you look above
the atmosphere
you’ll see that the sun
never leaves or returns
but always stays where he is
the way you always
stay with me
©RoseGirl2021
As I sit down on my yoga mat
to start my morning practice
and grey thoughts create
grey images in my mind,
a line of sunlight falls through
the window on your picture,
on your hopeful face
as if the sun points to me
where, instead, to look at
©RoseGirl2021
Like the blackbird in the bush
that picks orange berries
among snow and ice
I pick our love
among pain
and dark thoughts
and let it nourish me
©RoseGirl2021
I’m not good
at many things
But at least,
I’m good at being me
and loving you
©RoseGirl2021
Sun, why are you smiling
when I walk here in sadness
and yearning
Is it because you see the bigger
picture high up there in the sky?
Is it to tell me not to look back
but to keep moving forward
and to let what’s ahead shine
brightly in my face
as you melt the snow for me
and clear my path
©RoseGirl2021
King Winter seems to celebrate
snowflakes whirl down from heaven
like confetti
as if he knows what and who
is in my heart
that after the cleansing cold
one day spring will heat things
up again
as underneath ice and snow
dreams have already been sown
©RoseGirl2021
Carefully I run my fingers
over your words
One by one I touch them
as if each word holds a part of you
and as I let their meaning stream
into my fingers
it’s like their creator touches me
©RoseGirl2021
Nightmares come at night
like hyenas from all corners
to catch their prey
and bring the ghosts of the past
back to life
even when I open my eyes
I can still see them
And while I listen to a freezing cold
snow storm that rages
around the house
I crawl deep under the covers,
under the warmth of our love
to find back my dreams of the future
©RoseGirl2021
My first steps in the snow
are light and playful
Childlike I dance around
in a world covered in white,
stripped of its usual ways
Like a soul that is
stripped of the ego
I dance
in the sacred purity
of our love
©RoseGirl2021
There’s always a beat under my poetry
that makes every word dance,
every word swing
sometimes, it’s a calm rhythm
slow dancing
other times, it’s on fire
running up and high
One beat for two
or a melancholic sway
Head banging, tiptoeing or discoing
Sure is, it always beats for you
©RoseGirl2021
Take me with you in your thoughts
in the open, creative space of your mind
and we float together on your dreams
discover new places,
new ways of loving, of caressing,
of being with each other
as your thoughts explore us
©RoseGirl2021
My fairy man,
sit here with me
on our cloud
and around us
we watch the rain,
we watch the storm,
the thunder
unfolding
whereas as we entwine
as we make love
on our cloud
we shine it heavenly
upon the world
we together
make the fireworks,
make a rainbow
©RoseGirl2021
Can I hold you tightly
my arms, my legs around you
my lips tied to yours
so I won’t drift away
in the stormy,
fearful waters
of my mind
©RoseGirl2021
Hurt can be like a hurricane
blind rage that tears
everything down
my heart, my words helpless
unappreciated,
unrecognized
scattered
in a thousand pieces
all around me
but when I look at them
one by one
I still read their love poem
for you
©RoseGirl2021
My arms blindly
know the shape
of your body
as they were shaped
to hold you
©RoseGirl2021
When I feel weak,
small and shaky
I connect with you
to feel
the greatness
and power
of love
©RoseGirl2021
Lying in my bed
staring into the dark
I could have
many nightmares now
but instead
I choose to dream
of you
©RoseGirl2021
My poetry and math,
they just don’t fit together
Where math wants boring
formulas,
my poetry wants wild
sentences, wild passion
Where math wants hard core
numbers,
my poetry wants soft core
feelings
Where math wants statistics,
my poetry wants magic
But where they do agree is
that you + me = love
©RoseGirl2021
Early, very early
in the morning
when the world outside
is still covered in
stillness and darkness
and I see your face and
hear your voice,
I smile the dawn
into the day
©RoseGirl2021
Moon, what to do
with a love so great
that feels bigger than me?
The moon replied:
Then be its humble servant
and let it lead your words,
your steps, your way
like I serve the universe
by reflecting light
©RoseGirl2021
There’s so much to feel
in every moment
and even if feeling
the harsh head aches
seems so dominant
and makes me lie still
my eyes closed
then I let feeling you,
feeling the love
take over my space
like light that penetrates
the darkness
©RoseGirl2021
Stay in your chair
don’t go anywhere
keep still,
don’t move
let only your eyes dance
let your heart dance
as I dance
for you
©RoseGirl2021
