Scared Birds

You are a singing bird
that is scared to fly
And I am a flying bird
that fears to sing
Can you help me
to retrieve my voice
and to sing the melodies
I hear inside
And then I will help you
to jump and trust your wings

To Love Is Enough

Barefoot we dance
We don’t need clothes
to cover
Nothing we have
Or do we need to own
No masks to wear
Nothing to aim for
The past dissolves
The future isn’t there
Only the love we live
The love we dance
in nakedness
The love we sing of
And rhyme and write
play, create
Barefoot we love
Undressed we dance
And to love is
enough

Wanderers

A wanderer he is
With a guitar in his hand
A free bird that flies high
on his dreams
And he longs across the ocean
There where she is

A wanderer she is
The poems she writes
She hears melodies behind
them
And on the other shore
She longs across the ocean
There where he is

Wanderers they are
He plays her strings
She writes the words
in his heart
Free birds that dream
that soon the ocean
will be bridged

Dancing In The Dark

Into the dark we fall
The black hole seems deep
and endless
We cannot see
what is behind
or in front

If all is dark
Let’s dance, my love
Our hands are our eyes
Our feet are our ears
that hear the music
And will move

Hold me close
Your body to mine
will fill the void
will clear the sky
We’ll be the white letters
on a black page
We’ll build a world
And I’ll dance you
you’ll dance me
back into the light

Fragile Hearts

Fragile are our hearts
Now love has awakened
them and has opened doors
The world outside is big
and the wind is blowing
in our face

But we can’t go back to sleep
no more
As we’ve heard the call to love
And we’ve seen
the truth in our eyes
We have a lot to give
and have a lot to gain

Fragile are our hearts, yes
But stronger do we grow
as fragile hearts are
of those who are brave
enough to face the wind
since they are rooted
in love

You Have All Of Me

How can you ever lose me
as you have all of me

You have my eyes
that wish to see you
You have my lips
that want to kiss you
You have my hands
that write about you
and that want to stroke
every part of your skin

You have my words
that embrace all yours
even the words you have not yet spoken
You have my mind
that thinks all the time about you
You have my time
as it is consumed by you
You have my always
as it has been always you

And if you would ever lose me
I would find me back with you

A White Shell

Your pure heart
is as the white shell
in the sand
A treasure to cherish,
gifted by the sea
to share its wealth
and its beauty
with the land

It is
the other part
that fits
my white shell
and once together
makes it complete

On A Dutch Island

Here on a Dutch island
the sun is shining
again now the storm
has passed
I build a bridge of words
to your heart
and craft my float of love

And with each of my steps
I make little earthquakes
So even you on your island
far away and overseas
will be moved by my heart

©RoseGirl2018

Diving

The Dutch sea seems endless
Emptiness stretches
in front of me
Waves come my way
And then suddenIy
I stand with my feet
in the water

And I could drown now
In my longing for you
In my fears of a love
we do not control

Take my hand and please
dive now with me
What else could we do
The water is everywhere
And we both lost our smiles
Before the sea takes us
Let us take the sea

Sunflower

And in a field of waving grass
A flower grows
First yet shyly though
As she learns to dance
to the sighs of the wind
She discovers her gift
to blossom

Graciously she rises,
waves her way up
and opens her heart
to let the rays of light
come in

To reunite
and to merge
with her beloved, the sun

©RoseGirl2018

Out Of Sight

We vanish out of sight
Secretely we leave the page
We hide outside the storyline
Build our own castle
Out of reach of waves,
of storms and of rainfall
And even out of reach
of our own flaws
and crazy ways

©RoseGirl2018

Heart Connection

I seek you
in the glowing warmth of my heart
I bathe in the depths of the waters
where our hearts touch
And embrace you, dive into
a bond, stronger than
all what is outside of us

©RoseGirl2018

A Flame

I dance with the fire inside
A flame that burns for you
And even the October rain
And the waters
flowing from my eyes
Can’t make it fade away

Candy Words

Grandmother,
Can we go back in time
When you were still here
When all was fine
As long as I was with you

When you saw me
always pure, always beautiful
How you adored me,
bought me candy
Told me sweetest words
and would like to give me
everything I wished for

Can I sit with you, grandmother
Can I lay my heavy head on your lap
Will you stroke my hair
With tender, wrinkled hands that smell of smoke

And then tell me that it will be fine,
’cause that’s my wish
That you love me, that he loves me
-please tell me all your sweetest candy words
That you still see my inner diamond shine
And then pray my candy man
here back with me

The Greatest Pain

Ugly words
Ugly story
Poetry left
and beauty
disappeared
Just as you
and Summer did

My heart is squeezed
I cannot breathe
The greatest pain is
to be without you
And to exist
withhout existing

©RoseGirl2018

Lead Me

Oh my man of beauty
How tired are my feet
How exhausted are my thoughts
As my dreams keep me out of my sleep
And my fears wake me up

I’ve been so strong
I’ve stood my ground
But now my legs are shaking
And with the tears
hope flows out of my eyes

In this dance we are doing
Can I fall into your arms
Will you take the lead
And I will follow
Wherever you may go
When you’ll do your steps
My feet will then do mine
Let me lean on your chest
Let me rest in your heartbeat
And slowly but steady
we’ll make the dancefloor ours

Flying Bike

I ride my bike
Under a clear, nightly sky
The stars surround me
The moon is behind me
She’s got my back

And I am weightless
As I glide
effortlessly
over the roads here
in this town

I almost fly
It’s like I go to you now
And I could cycle
miles and miles and miles
Towards the west
A smile on my face
Stars before my eyes

Is it the moon
Or is it you
That fires me
Through the Dutch
nightly sky

He Can Find Her

She is on her own ground
In her house of poetry
And she leaves the light on
For him to find his way home

He can find her
In her house of poetry
Where she writes further
the story about her and him

©RoseGirl2018

I Love You

I want to shout at you,
scream at you
throw sharp words
of raging red
to crumble down
the wall around your heart
For what you have said
Most for what you haven’t
For all of my hurt
For all of my sadness

But as I love every piece of you
So much, so true, so deep
I even love
the wall around your heart

And please,
will you still love me
in all of my colours
even when I show you
my angry part

©RoseGirl2018

My Muse Of True Love

And into the infinite well of creation I tap
Shimmering water of gold in its purest form
between your heart and mine
A boundless flow of love
and light

You are there, at the source
My muse, my king of true love
In your eyes I see
the origin of every word I write
It always starts with you
Since you breathe
rivers of inspiration into me
Giving me the wings to fly high
And the courage to dive deep
into what is true

©RoseGirl2018

We Will Meet

We will meet
in the space without words
In the place, where our hearts connect
In the inevitability of our fate
In the wandering of our thoughts
In the realm of dreams
In the kisses we imagine
In our wishes upon a star
In our eye gazes we remember
In our embraces we still feel
In the prayers we are sending

We will meet
Again and again
Or is it more about staying
And in fact,
are you always here with me

©RoseGirl2018

We Do Not Need To Know

Where does our love come from
Where do we go
And then why, oh why
And how and when?
But perhaps,
we do not need to know

We love as we love
We love now
And now is all we have
And we dance and we sing
and we cry and we laugh
But we love
Yes we love
How we love
We will love
Nothing more
Nothing less
we need to know

Waiting For You

My dear, come to me
Here in my rose garden
I wait for you
Under the rosebush
The door of my heart is open
To the one that suits the rose

Anytime I will receive you
Velvety and sweet-scented
I invite you here in my rose garden
And offer you the rose of my heart

Find your home here in my arms

©RoseGirl2018

The Echo

My heart cries out for you
Over the mountains, down into the valleys
Over the rivers and the seas
Over the towns and the villages
Over the woods and the fields

Through thunder and lightning
Through the rain, the storm
and through the clouds

And then I listen to the echo
that rolls back over the mountains,
the valleys and overseas
Or do I hear your heart
that is crying out for me?

©RoseGirl2018

What Is Real

There are storylines around us
Fantasies and fairy tales
Knight legends and dragon stories
Foggy dreams and screaming nightmares
We have a you and we have a me
We are the actors, the creators
the narrators, the story keepers
But the only thing that is real
is this love

©RoseGirl2018

In Every Corner Of My Heart

I see every hour of the night,
every corner of the dark,
every of my restless thoughts haunting me

Since you are in every corner of my sleepless dreams
in every corner of my heart
in every of my tears

You are in every corner of the page
in every of these words
in every of my prayers

You are in every corner of the night
and you’ll be
in every of the dawns
in every of my new days

©RoseGirl2018

At Least

At least,
the stars are still in the sky tonight
Our names still written in it

At least,
I still have my hands
and pen to write
and sad poems flowing
from within

At least,
we still have our hearts
although they’re aching
and incomplete

At least,
we still have these
shared tears

©RoseGirl2018

Opening

The rose has opened itself
And shows its inner core
Unfolds its process of blossoming
No thorn that can protect no more
The wind strikes its petals
Bees circle around
And even though,
she could break now
Her heart scattered in pieces
She doesn’t close
but let the sun come in
Let its rays caress her
And tenderly they whisper:
Don’t lose hope

©RoseGirl2018

A Curtain Of Teardrops

A curtain of teardrops before my eyes
And I fall into Fall again
The same pain,
the same cycle
So close and yet
so far away

Bonded in sadness
we are
connected in our broken hearts
And now it’s my turn
to wait for the sun
to show its face
again

©RoseGirl2018

Blinded

Sunglasses are sheltering my eyes
and covering my
wounded heart
I don’t want to see
don’t want to be seen
by eyes
other than yours

Ocean Of Love

I once thought
that there was an ocean between us
A wall that divided common ground
And that I needed to send ships
and airplanes
to reach you on the other side
of where I was

But now I know
there never was an other side
and no other place

And if there is an ocean between us
there is only an ocean of love

©RoseGirl2018

Take Me Home

Lead me to a place
I’ve always known
Into the haven of your heart
Anchor me with your eyes
Secure me in your arms
Warm me with your fire
And take me home

©RoseGirl2018

Rendezvous

I see you with my eyes closed
I feel you with my skin untouched
I dream you when I’m awake
And hear you in unspoken words

I taste you with my lips unkissed
I receive you when I breathe
I dance you in the steps I take
And embrace you with my arms unfilled
I meet you in my heartbeat

The Art To Love

They were not from here
They came floating
from above the clouds
They went through heaven
and through hell
And then turned
the world into gold
As they danced their ways
sang their words
and radiated
their hearts
crafted their story
drew their melodies
and painted
their songs
As they understood the art
to love

A love,
that was not from here
that went through heaven
and through hell
but that always understood the art
to connect their hearts

©RoseGirl2018

What If

What if paradise
knocks on your door tonight
to deliver the gift
you have always longed for

What if the stars finally align
and let your deepest wish
rain on you

What if the prayer
you have said
again and again
has been heard
and will be answered

What if the angels
shower you
with the love of
your heart’s desire

What if all the hope,
written in your poems,
the subject of your dreams
will materialise
itself outside the words
into the real

What if paradise
knocks on your door tonight
Are you home
and open to receive?

©RoseGirl2018

A Space Of Love

I hold a space
of love for you
A space to fly
to shed your tears
to jump of joy
and to create

A space to fall
and then to rise
again

A space to hide
and turn your back
and shy away

A space to let
your inner child
come out and play
To heal the wounds
and leave
the old behind

A space to dance,
to roar, to laugh,
to shout and be afraid

A space to find me
always
by your side

The Bee In The Flower

And she kept on dreaming
and seeing
the rainbow in the sky
the king in the kingdom
the fairy in the tale
the bee in the flower
the honey in the milk
the ship in the haven
the magic in the wand
the diamond in the rock
the holy in the grail
Since she dreamed for two
So he could come on board

©RoseGirl2018

Walking Forward

When our paths parted
we walked forward
on our own paths
through woods of darkness
Autumn leaves were falling
Through cold winter days
and aching marshland
Though we kept the sun
in our hearts

And we planted our seeds
watered our strength
with our tears
And from mud
new flowers arose
Green plants grew
along the path
And we walked parallel,
it seemed

And we both went far
away and out of sight
in foreign lands and
to places unknown
But as we walked forward
our paths intertwined

Hotel Credible

There are worlds within worlds
behind the walls
of Hotel Credible
Where the true believers
rest, balance their scales,
create their dreams
underneath the sheets
with the sweetest smell
And where the windows always
let the light come in
of the One and Only Sun

Crescent Moon Lullaby

Oh crescent moon above Lisbon
You rose from the shadows
since you grow
in your full truth more and more

And now you are waxing
and this night when I’ll
be sleeping
and you’ll keep watch
over the land underneath,
will you please bring
my beloved in my dreams

©RoseGirl2018

Small Bird

Small bird in the big field
Hopping shyly around
Do you know
The green grass is all yours
And you have your wings
to fly?
The wind will catch
The earth will nourish
Never underestimate
the strength of the small

©RoseGirl2018

Somewhere

I walk the path
in the sky
A white stripe
shows the road
I bridge the gap
between
me here and you there
to find us both
somewhere
on the horizon
of a new day

You-ful

If distance doesn’t count
and closeness can be found
even without words
Then why does it feel
so useless
now to be you-less?

Is it the yin that needs the yang
The moon that needs
the sun to shine
Like my heart needs
its equivalent
to beat its perfect rhythm?

Is it the black that needs the
white
The poet that needs her reader
The page that longs for words
to find its true fulfilment?

Is it the guitar that needs
its strings
Like a voice that needs
to sing
And Eve needs her Adam
like Isolde needs her Tristan?

Is it my hand that needs your skin
to touch
My body that needs
your soft embrace
Like the puzzle that needs
the fitting pieces?

Is it me that longs to be
you-ful?

The Swan Song

She glides over water
Adorned with white feathers
she floats by the grace of her heart
In the shimmering mirror
of the rippling water surface
she looks for the image
of her other half
She sings her song and longs
for its echo

Then one day
her white equal alights
from the heights of her dreams
She recognizes her counter part
And they court for life,
mate for the heavens
As their curved necks entwine
elegantly in a heart
The mirror and its image are one
And in a duet of
sacred partnership
They perform their love
in A minor

Until the day
the heavens open
A choir of angels appears
and shows them the way
And full of devotion
the couple performs
their earthly final;
the most beautiful swan song
