Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
And in a park I sit
under a tree
I could cry now
– or smile
Sometimes,
it is a thin line
between missing you
and feeling you
strongly within
And do I feel
your sadness or
is it mine?
And I balance
on the tightrope
of feelings and thoughts
With my back
against the trunk
I look up
I ask the tree to
root for us both

And in sun-drenched Holland
I move through the streets
My curves, my hips,
my eyes, my hair,
my dress, my heels,
all of me dances
People smile and greet me,
Male eyes follow my steps
Just the thought of you
makes of me
the sexiest woman on earth
©RoseGirl2019
While you lie in your bed
I curl up to you
I stroke you to sleep
Kiss sweet dreams
onto your face
And blow fearful
thoughts away
Do not worry
that you can lose me
as I am your fairy woman
and I am always around
You can find me
right where your left me
in your last breath,
in your last heartbeat
You only need to
pick me up in the next
©RoseGirl2019
And after the fortissimo
of strongly written passion
I caress you with
gentle fingertips of sweet words
and very softly play your keys
in pianissimo
©RoseGirl2019
First you couldn’t see
what I see in you
Like I didn’t believe
that you believed in me
But right before your eyes
you lit me up,
you gazed me, you believed me
into the queen I was meant to be
And now I write you,
love you, believe you
into the king you were born
and again you shall be
I write the crown on your head
my lines will pull up your sword
Like you once made my feet move
and made my words sing
I hold up a mirror
that reflects
all of your strength
©RoseGirl2019
It is love that makes me humble
Such a big life force
that flows through me
and writes poetry on its own
And I go down
on my knees in gratitude
to be able to love you like this,
to love a love that is
not from this world
and yet tangible
in every cell of my body,
in every move I make,
in every word I write,
is a great, precious gift
from the heavens
©RoseGirl2019
And love hit us like a bomb
It was hot
on the battlefield of fear
I ran, you ran
Yet in my heart
you were still there
As a presence, as truth,
as love, as you
You didn’t go anywhere
And the wind came
and blew you far away
you flew to the other side
of the ocean
Distance between us
was marked on a map
And even miles apart
Yet you are still here
as you didn’t go anywhere
Never farther than
the border of my heart
©RoseGirl2019
Be careful to read my poetry
with uncovered eyes
and an unblocked heart
for the love I spread
through my words
is very contagious
It might affect you in
unexpected ways
And its virus is
highly resistant to
any disbelief,
any fears and hate
©RoseGirl2019
If you look at the sky tonight,
know that the brightest star
is me
And that I shine my light
that brightly out there in the world
only, so you can see
and so you always have a light,
your north star,
to guide you when it is dark
©RoseGirl2019
When we look back
at our journey
We may see the sharp edges
The rough lines
And the imperfect words
But its true beauty
lies within the now
In your presence
in every heartbeat
In love that sings
and dances
And that’s just
gorgeous poetry
©RoseGirl2019
Go within and let your
troubled water find stillness
Let your light shine
into the lake of silence
So it can reflect
what’s on your heart
The inner space where
God and angels talk to you
Where your own soul
gives you guidance
And where I am
your lady of the lake,
your water nymph
and where I sing
my messages of love
Be still
so you’ll be able
to hear
©RoseGirl2019
Love is like oxygen
You will always come back
to my heart
to take a deep breath
and inhale its air
of love
©RoseGirl2019
I’ve already loved you
countless days,
countless months and years
Ever since our hearts made
a Big Bang together
Even before I met you
And before I knew
I’ve already loved you
since the dawn of time
and long before
Even before the concept
of ‘forever’ was first used
©RoseGirl2019
A sigh of your heart,
a wind blown to me
I sense a soft breeze on my cheek
A warm breath on my lips
that sensually touches
and opens them
I sigh
A sigh of my heart
Do you sense
that soft breeze on your cheek
And then
How it reaches your lips
and kisses them
©RoseGirl2019
The visions we have of the future
The dreams we dream of togetherness
So real, so tangible
Like it has already happened
The story that has been written
We have seen it
from the first time that we met
when we looked
in each other’s eyes
and saw the happy end
That’s where it started
©RoseGirl2019
No matter how many clouds
appear in our sky
and all the raindrops that fall down,
the birds of prey that circle around,
no matter how loud it thunders
how many trails our fears
and worries have drawn,
The sun of our love always burns
everything away again
Its heat and its fire clears
what is troubled
and resets us both to hope
©RoseGirl2019
It’s not only that
you are my beloved,
just my lover of always,
of any dimension,
of any time and space
But above all
you’re my every day and
down to earth best friend,
my heart’s best mate
©RoseGirl2019
And it rains white heart petals
that make a carpet for me to walk on
Crowned as your heart’s bride
I’m always heavenly showered
and blessed with love
©RoseGirl2019
You can love me from a distance
but close enough to feel my heart
You can love me in silence
but loud enough for me
to hear it inside
You can love me in solitude
but love enough to love for two
You can touch me on the surface
but strong enough to reach me deep
©RoseGirl2019
I look around and wonder,
Apart from the love, is this all real?
I came here once with you together
When we both had stars in our eyes
And new dreams on our minds
But I chased the rabbit into his hole
I cannot see you no more
And now I’m all alone
and lost in Wonderland
©RoseGirl2019
When I am so much lost
And even my words can’t find
their sentences
When each step without you here
feels sad and heavy
And all around me I see dark wilderness,
Then move me, my muse,
back into my poetry
Light me up with your love
so I can find myself
©RoseGirl2019
The morning sun shines upon
my tears
and makes golden drops of them
They vaporize one by one
in the light
What is left is a salty layer
of ‘I miss you’ on my cheeks
©RoseGirl2019
Wherever we are, whatever we do
Even if I fly in the air
like a smooth melody
And you wander on the ground,
you feel like in a staccato
Even if you surf the waves
and I am underwater
Even if you chase the moon
And I haunt the sun
Even if you are in the dark
of the night
And I am in the light of the day
We are together always
in art and heart
©RoseGirl2019
What defines me is not
what others think of me
Not even what I think of myself
But what defines me is my heart,
my soul, my art, my poetry
And my boundless, undefined
love for you
©RoseGirl2019
She always wanted people to understand her
And if they didn’t and only judged her
She tried even harder to be understood
By opening up herself,
by explaining her heart
which led to more hurt
Until she decided to let go
of wanting those people to understand her
And instead, to understand herself
so thoroughly,
that she doesn’t need anyone else
no more to be understood

There is no corner in my heart
No place in this world
No spot in the universe
Where I don’t love you
So wherever you may go
Everywhere you are loved
©RoseGirl2019
I fly in the air like a kite
the strings that are tied
to my heart, my body,
my soul, my mind
you pull them, you crave them
closer and closer to your heart,
from heaven and the realm of dreams
to the tangibility of earth
And willingly and full of desire
I let you pull me in
As I cannot wait to land onto you
©RoseGirl2019
There’s so much going on
in the ether
Where the air is thin
And no lines are drawn
Where all is fluid,
energy flows and fizzes
Messages are sent and
received
through the ether
I can almost feel your breath
And touch your skin
Fervent thoughts
dance back and forth
between us
Your voice in my mind
sounds like music
And from within you kiss me
Warm airwaves move
strongly through me
as our hearts make love
in the ether
©RoseGirl2019
Sometimes, the ocean between us
is a big gap
A cruel dark blue monster
that has teared apart our lands
And we both stand on our shores
I call out for you
Your name, I shout it in the wind
Do you hear me or do the waves
make too much noise?
Please, let’s not look at the sea
But let’s focus on the sky
Our wings of love have grown
strong enough
to go up and meet above the clouds
©RoseGirl2019
I read back some old letters
that I once sent to you
How I danced before your eyes
in my words
Did you know back then
that it was you who had put
the music on
Did you know I danced
solely for you
And that in fact, in every letter
I invited you implicitly
hidden behind strong
but shy words,
to dance together with me
©RoseGirl2019
You sit on your throne in my words,
and make glitter and glamour of them
You rule their tides,
their melodies and rhymes
Without you my poetry
would be just an empty,
run-down palace,
a trove without treasure
For a kingdom needs its king
Just like my poetry gives
you the crown on your head
©RoseGirl2019
You in all your beauty plus
Me in all that I am
Both our truest versions
make together our sum
of greatest love
©RoseGirl2019
Others may see and read
and may devour my lines
and be greedy for more
They may be enticed
But my words are like arrows
and I point them
always exclusively
at your heart
©RoseGirl2019
Like a tree that grows
towards the light
And that will even bend
and reach up higher
My heart will always
reach out for you
Willing to grow,
to reach for new heights
to bow and sing its song
across the ocean
so that it can find you
©RoseGirl2019
Love drips from my words
as I dipped them one by one
in this delicious fluid
Touch it with your finger
Stroke around the letters
Lick it with your tongue
Suck it with your lips
Let its sweetness
explode in your mouth
And taste with your heart
all my precious love for you
©RoseGirl2019
If I get off track
and get lost in my fears and thoughts
Can you please pull me back
and throw me a line
By a prayer, a song,
By a kiss blown in the wind
By a wave of love you send my way
By the thought of me
Just pull me on my heart string
Back on track and back to you
©RoseGirl2019
Since I met you my heart has
opened up and expanded
by more than a thousand times
to be able to hold all the
love I have for you
In this big balloon of love
I carry you always with me inside
©RoseGirl2019
Since I work as a psychologist
I thought, well, let’s analyze myself
For I have this issue
That I think all the time about you
That I write all those poems
My heart that beats, bursts
and longs like crazy
And I have these strong and deep emotions
I did an intake interview,
observed my own behaviour,
asked a hundred questions,
I reflected, empathized
I took the DSM-V, the handbook
of all the mental disorders
But I could not find a box
I could be fitted in
So then I gave myself the diagnosis
that I am just madly in love with you
©RoseGirl2019
I did a scientific research on
the love I feel for you
In an objective and unbiased manner
I tested the hypothesis ‘I love you’
I did a literature review of my poems
and wrote a theoretical framework
I did an observation of my heart
I systematically collected the data,
analyzed them
And then came to the conclusion
Now it is scientifically proven
that I love you
©RoseGirl2019
Sparrow and robin,
sitting there on the branches
Cats that are lying in my garden
Bees on the flowers
Butterflies that are fluttering
before my eyes,
My kindred spirits,
You my beloved,
Do you want to be my family,
my true tribe
To which I can belong?
©RoseGirl2019
The more I think of you
The more I feel you
The more I love you
The more I think of you
The more I feel you
The more I love you
©RoseGirl2019
And I walk on the path
through the woods
Where I once walked with you
It was Winter then
Bare trees bowed for us
And now, it is Spring
A roof of green leaves
above my head
It’s almost like
I hear your voice
And see you next to me
in your warm winter coat
How I want to put
my arm in yours
And wish this road
will never end
As my feet walk in Spring
my mind wanders in Winter
©RoseGirl2019
I took the two variables
‘I love you’ and ‘I miss you’
to measure if there is
a statistical relationship
between them
I quantified and counted
Used the formula
and found
a correlation coefficient of 1
which means
it is mathematically proven
the more I love you
the more the ‘I miss you’ variable
will increase
©RoseGirl2019
Where are we, my love
Did the light catch us
When we held hands
I looked at you
You said ‘yes now’
And we jumped
together
into the unknown
I see white all around us
Like a blank page
on which a new story
is eager to start
And its main characters
just both came alive
