Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
May the tears that flow
from my eyes be the ink
I write with
May all of our pain
be transformed
into the beauty of poetry
May each teardrop
be honoured in a word
A building stone
of our cathedral
May they wash away
the past, the old stories
to make room
for a new beginning
May our tears be
a testimony of perseverance,
a test of will and strength
May they flow abundantly
and make an ocean
to show the whole world
the greatness of true love

Every day I discover new ways
to love you
Another angle to love you from
A deeper layer, a different shade
A new facet of the diamond
Another point of view, a new light
Higher in the sky
Deeper in the earth
Diagonal, zig-zag
Upright and upside down
All those new ways to love you
make an infinite universe to discover
©RoseGirl2019
Even if the mind is like
a narrow alley
with thoughts that
cage the heart,
True heart’s desires
will always fly up like birds
to find the open sky
of possibilities
and to align with what
they wish for
and make things come true
For if you desire it
Then it’s meant for you

Hold my hand, my love
as I go deep
in the underground caves,
in the labyrinth of shadows
Be my eyes so I can see in the dark
Be my ears so I can hear the music
on the other side of fear
Be my voice so I can still be heard
Be my feet that carry me
when I can’t move myself
Be my light so I can find my way out
Be you so I remember me

My dear music maker,
you make the music in my heart
You make the music in my poetry
You make the music in my life
And as you make me walk on music,
you even make music of me
©RoseGirl2019
There are no mistakes
on this journey of love
Every step taken was
needed to move forward
and to arrive
where we are right now
There is no right or wrong
As understanding comes
with experiences
Growth happens
when choosing new ways
For this love that is
much bigger than us
much bigger than our egos
can never be screwed up
©RoseGirl2019
We don’t need to become
a new person
or change into someone
we are not
But it’s about unlearning
all the programming,
all the beliefs and conditioning
that society, others, our brain
have put on us
To unlearn the fears to love
To unlearn the false characters
we played in order to belong
and be accepted
It is about undressing ourselves
from all the falsehood
and to dance freely
who we truly are
©RoseGirl2019
It’s time to say NO
and instead of being loyal
to a system or another person,
just to be loyal to my heart
that knows and feels
if there truly is a YES or NO
For every NO
to someone,
to a situation or a thing
that does not serve
is a big YES to myself
to you, to us and to our love
©RoseGirl2019
Wherever I may wander,
No matter how far
I venture out in the world,
I keep finding you
in my heartbeat
When my chest rises to inhale
Every time I Iift my pen to write
my poetry
When I Iift my feet to dance
When I close my eyes to dream
When I open them in the morning
Even when I fear I’ve lost for good
When I’m lost myself
I keep finding you
in all those little signs around me
that remind me of you
In Autumn, Winter, Spring
and Summer
Maybe, because I’ve never
lost you at all

Avalon is not an island far away
with an unreachable shore,
a myth that exists only in books,
idyllic romance once captured in tales
nor is it a dream that can only be dreamt
Its fruits can still be harvest anytime
Its enchanting magic is still there
Even if nobody believes in it
Avalon can be found every time
we cross the sea of our love
For at the place where our
naked hearts connect, lies paradise
©RoseGirl2019
The ‘I believe’ beams its light
through cumulus thoughts
and even burns its way
through the uniform,
featureless layer of
grayish stratus clouds
that have darkened the mind
as it aims for
the centre of love
©RoseGirl2019
To love you
in the deepest way
is to love
absolute truth
©RoseGirl2019
My mind can find many reasons,
many explanations, obstacles
theories and analysis
My mind likes to linger in the past,
to fear the future, to run in circles
It thinks that, to understand the facts
is to have control
But it’s only, when I sink into my heart,
when I feel you and feel the love
that has no beginning, no ending
that I truly and profoundly know
©RoseGirl2019
What if all that we wish for
our bright future, our big dream
is already there, is available for us
right here in the now
What if we just need to tap into the energies
to feel it, become what we want
to let it roll into our world
Then, there’s no need for impatience,
for worry, for fear,
no need for needing,
for grasping and chasing
for we know, it’s already there
and it’s all ours
©RoseGirl2019
And he said:
Can you trust me
as much as you love me
Can you trust me
so truly that even,
when you don’t see me,
your eyes won’t look for me
They won’t go after me
Your eyes will let me be free
and won’t try to capture
For you know,
when I’m not before you
I’m behind you to hold you
When your eyes cannot see me
then your heart will see
©RoseGirl2019
As we are one,
all that you see in me,
my light and my shadows,
is also in you
And all that I see in you
is also in me
for we paint on the canvas of life
with the same colours

The rose drinks from the poison
of self-doubt
She shrinks and becomes very small
Her petals are hanging down
And all the demons laugh at her
There’s only one antidote to save her
She needs to look up
She needs to let the sun of true love
cleanse her from all the poison
in her mind, the fears in her stem
And then, the light of love
will make her grow again
©RoseGirl2019
Throughout her life
she fought many battles
She grew strong like a tree
that stands on its own
and can’t be blown over
Yet, her heart remained
vulnerable like a blossom
Always, she carried a sword in her hand
Ready to protect and to fight
She was a warrior, a brave knight
And to have that precious sword
was often a matter of life and death,
her only means to survive
And now,
She stands before her beloved
and looks into his beautiful eyes
She sees the sun, the moon and the stars
She looks into the universe
She sees the earth
She sees all that he is
and hands over the sword to him
She allows him to hold it,
allows him to be the knight
Naked she is without her armour
She surrenders to him
and allows him to hold her
She sinks deep into his arms
softens and curls up
against his chest
as she trusts his strength,
trusts his arms to carry her
to the moon and back
and all over the world

This afternoon three Blue Tits
came to visit me
They stayed for a while before
the window
and sang happily their songs
They say that the Blue Tit is
a good omen
as it represents trust, true love
faith, loyalty and good luck
The male bird creates the nest
and then attracts a female to it
through its singing
Like you, my love, once enchanted me
and sang me right into your arms
Blue Tits are loyal
and committed to each other
for the rest of their lives
Sometimes they fly out
though they never fly far
and they always return home
©RoseGirl2019
When I was a child
they always told me
that I have loyal dog eyes
But it’s not just my eyes,
I also have a loyal dog heart
as it is unconditionally devoted
to myself, to you, to this love
©RoseGirl2019
When we say goodbye to old times,
When challenges, experiences,
lessons come up
When the energies are intense,
Know that those are only there
for us to grow and expand
and to help us shift deeper
into our hearts, into this love,
as we walk this journey together
every battle won, every truth spoken
every time we stand up,
every choice for love
is a step closer to home
©RoseGirl2019
If only the moon could talk,
She would tell you about
all the unwritten poems
that I’ve gazed up into the sky,
all the ‘I love you’s’ that
I’ve whispered into the dark,
all the prayers, all the wishes
that I’ve sent out into the night
Or maybe, she would only smile
and would tell you, every time
she appears to be seen by your eyes,
by the brightness of her glow
how much you are loved
©RoseGirl2019
Sing for me, my love
Sing louder than my thoughts
Louder than the memories
Louder than my feelings
Even louder than
the ‘I miss you’s’
Just sing on and on
until my heart finds
the rhythm back
to dance again
©RoseGirl2019
It’s Halloween inside
The skeletons come out of the closet
Fears take me on a spooky ride
Phantom thoughts show their teeth
Vampires knock on the door
Old wounds are being ripped open
Old memories resurrect from their grave
Shadows come to haunt me
But your voice sings a sweet lullaby
and in your arms I’m safe
as I let love conquer it all
©RoseGirl2019
I feel you growing in me
You get stronger
Your roots grow deeper
and deeper into my base
and ground me within myself
When I tend to fly too high
When I float on emotions
When a hyena tries to grab me
You are a tree that I can lean against,
that I can trust to have my back,
that gives me the strength
to stand up for myself
and that always protects me
with undying love
©RoseGirl2019
Two silhouettes run, dance
together
through the dark
towards the light
As they hold hands
they almost seem to fly
They want to be on time
to catch the dawn,
catch their dreams
and live their love
For they know
Now is the moment
Not yesterday,
not tomorrow
But right when they think
that they will make it
and there is nothing left
that holds them back
on their way,
she falls down to the ground
and finds herself lost
She starts to fear
The golden sun will soon rise
Its rays will show the doorway
Did he run further on his path
without her
Did he leave her behind
in the dark
Is he ahead
She screams for him:
My love, where are you!!!!
But then she hears his voice
right next to her:
I’m here, I’m always here
By your side, where I belong
Give me your hand
We can only reach
the horizon together
On the path towards the light
Neither of us is left behind
©RoseGirl2019
When I’m down
on the ground
Take my hand
and pull me up again
Let’s just continue to dance
I’ll take your hand
and lift you up again
Let’s jive, let’s twist,
let’s shake
let’s free dance
As long as we dance
there is nothing
to worry or to fear
The dance floor is all ours
Our hearts have the lead
And it doesn’t matter
how many times we fall
if we just get up
and dance on
to the love tunes
of the soul
©RoseGirl2019
Missing you
is like an
alternative fact,
an illusion
that is
presented as real
Fake news
Based on a belief that
there is any distance,
any separation
between us
where in truth,
there is none,
Yet, it hurts
©RoseGirl2019
If I had to choose
one beautiful thought
for today
that would be the sun
in my cloudy sky
It would be a thought
of you
©RoseGirl2019
Since this love is rocket science
Do not think about it too much
Do not try to understand
But trust what has been entrusted
to you by the universe
and make your rocket ready
for take off
Outside the earthly gravity
I’ll meet you among the stars
©RoseGirl2019
Once you have tasted
the unique, delicate, delicious,
exceptional cuisine
of a three-star restaurant type of love
Everything else is just McDonald’s
©RoseGirl2019
I don’t want to stop these words that are blowing from my pen and that just want to come out and fly, whirl fiercely and move the air They don’t want to be interrupted by a dot or any punctuation Not even give space to a white line in between or make room for any interpretation A strong breeze that blows all ego fears over With one breath one stroke of the pen they make a tornado They take the stage take the whole paper It is no rage no thunder but a storm of love
©RoseGirl2019
You have written
a love poem
on my heart
with permanent ink
and it lines sing
louder
every single day
©RoseGirl2019
I may use big words
and many poems,
I may bring in the heavens
and call it divine
I may invoke
quantum physics
and mystical metaphors
But whatever it looks like
the actual message
is just simple and earthly:
My darling, I love you
©RoseGirl2019
They can put you in a crowd
and place hundreds of people
around you
They can give you another look,
and cover you up
They can blindfold me,
Yet, I would recognize you
by the beating of your heart,
the whisper of your soul,
by magnetic love
Like I’ve found and recognized you
Lifetime after lifetime
©RoseGirl2019
The Dutch tulip moves in the wind,
dances around in the fields
and makes them look colourful
People from all over the world
come to look at her
Though her heart only belongs
to the American flower, the rose
When she and he meet each other
their scent, their colours merge
Dutch grounding and the
American dream blend,
as they make the fields burst
orgasmically into Spring
©RoseGirl2019
In the soft bed of our hearts,
the gentle cradling of love
In dancing poetry
In sparkling magic
In the beauty of roses
In blooming desire
In melodic, touching songs
In the shine of the moon,
the stars and the sun
In always, eternal and forever
In this moment
That’s where we reside together
©RoseGirl2019
Many eyes look at me
But do you see that my eyes
only look at you
Do you see that they radiate
poetry just because they look at you
Do you see that the spotlights
shine on you and me
and that true love makes the show
go on and on
©RoseGirl2019
I felt you so strongly here with me
as though we both had stepped
through the veil
and our bodies touched
You wrapped a cloak of love
around my shoulders and pulled me
against your chest
It was more than a daydream
More than a wish or a desire
I saw by knowing, by feeling it
And in all those deep feelings
of love, passion, peace, harmony,
joy and laughter
I am united with you
©RoseGirl2019
And I sing my song
A song of a love so deep,
so eternal, so wide, so far
that it reaches out to you
to wherever you are
It makes the sky shower
glitter and glamour,
The heavens are my stage
The stars make a staircase
that brings me to your heart
Will you join
in a duet, in a harmony
Will you sing back your heart
up into the heavens and
right here next to me
Two voices that
find each other
in a grand finale
of true love

Moulin Rouge Finale ~
Come what may…
I will love you until my dying day
Video clip on YouTube watch here
And on the shore
she looked out over the sea,
she dreamed,
she flew on the wind
and danced her poetry
like a lighthouse
so that her songbird
that had flown out
from the other shore
could navigate his way to her
And she danced for days
and days became weeks
Weeks became months
Until time didn’t count no more
for all that counted was love
The songbird had a tough journey
through stormy weather
though he was determined
for what kept his wings,
his heart beating was love
And on a day out of time
the songbird saw land
and there he found her
or did she find him
as the wind of love
blew them together
©RoseGirl2019
Sometimes, it’s hard to know
what comes first
is it the feeling of love
or the thought of you
For when I think of you, I feel love
And when I feel love,
I have you on my mind
which makes me love you even more
And then the thought of you
becomes even stronger
So maybe, you’re both
the chicken and the egg
at the same time
©RoseGirl2019
It is a jungle in my mind
and I lie in the bushes
in my safari outfit
looking through binoculars
to observe what’s going on
Monkeys jump up and down
and back and forth
Elephants stomp on positive thoughts
Snakes try to poison me with fear
And a cacophony of birds
drown out the voice of my heart
Shall I Iift my hunting rifle
to destroy them once and for all
and restore my peace of mind
Or is it useless anyway
No, I have a better idea
Instead of fighting the wild life
Let’s play with it and make friends
My love, take your clothes off
Let’s swing through the jungle
of our minds
as Tarzan and Jane
©RoseGirl2019
In the light of the moon,
when you look up
and see her glow
above you in the night sky,
worldly things of the day
that are attached to the earth,
become less important
Just like in the light
of our love
all the other things pale
©RoseGirl2019
When so many things,
people and situations
fall away
And there are so many
losses and goodbyes
It only becomes clear
what is here to stay:
You and this love
©RoseGirl2019
