Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
When I feel weak,
small and shaky
I connect with you
to feel
the greatness
and power
of love

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

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

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
My sweet love
makes my heart melt
makes my frowned face smile
even on this freezing cold
winter day
the thought of him,
feeling him
burning inside
is my heart heater
©RoseGirl2021
Sometimes I drift away
from myself
in thoughts, in pain,
in people and things
that draw my attention
but when I come home
again
back in myself,
with me
there’s always you
©RoseGirl2021
At night
when all is so quiet
that every movement
is heard,
I listen to our hearts
talking to each other
by exchanging love
©RoseGirl2021
Cherishing you
is stroking your whole body
My lips that cover every spot
with kissed poems
It’s holding your heart
like the most precious treasure
to keep it nourished and protected
deep within my chest
so it always has a warm nest
from which it can fly
It’s loving your soul
as the other half of mine
©RoseGirl2021
The Wolf moon glows
upon two lovers tonight
both in a different place
they look up
As their hearts howl
for one another
their calls and desire
unite among the stars
©RoseGirl2021
Sometimes, I cannot clearly hear you
as disturbing thoughts
make too much noise
but if I calm down my mind
clear the channel
then in my heart I hear your
words of love
©RoseGirl2021
I like to have a rhythm
to start every day
in the same way
so my morning ritual is
that I think of you,
feel you, send you love,
think of you again
and actually,
that’s my afternoon
and night ritual too
©RoseGirl2021
Eyes on the ground
see endless waters,
separate lands
borders, high mountains,
fences and walls
whereas the eyes of a bird
that soars free in the sky,
see two hearts
on the same earth
under the same moon and sun
eternally connected
with nothing between them
but love
©RoseGirl2021
You are my greatest teacher
as you teach me
the purest, the truest love
©RoseGirl2021
When head and body feel bruised
after a night on the battlefield
with sharp, attacking migraines
it’s so good to come back to life again
wrapped in so many comfortable
thoughts of you
©RoseGirl2021
We ride our horses through the night
in dark woods, through valleys
and mountains
Our eyes may not see the dawn yet
They may not see the horizon
I may fall off my horse
Then, reach out your hand
But stay firmly in
your own saddle
to help me through
For we have the promise
of sunrises in our heart
and as long as we move forward,
dance in cadence
one with stars,
one with love and with each other
horses will know the path
©RoseGirl2021
I’m caged
inside my head
held hostage
by dark thoughts
and the only way
to break free
is to escape with you
through the heart
©RoseGirl2021
When I feel insignificant
I find importance
in loving you
and through that
I see the importance of me
©RoseGirl2021
Your biggest fan
is not the one
who shouts it
from all rooftops
who shares, likes,
comments, tags you
and boosts your ego
but the one who silently
always has your back
and soothes your soul
©RoseGirl2021
When the door is closed
and I am alone
on the other side
can you keep
your heart open
so I can still
be part of it
through you
as I look
through your window
©RoseGirl2021
You came to kiss me in my dream
your lips so soft on mine
and we opened up to one another
tongues that danced together
to a fiery song
It’s been a long time, you said
right before all words,
all time, all pain dissolved
before we melted in each other
and there was nothing left but
a kiss
like an imprint, a promise
that I could take with me
when I woke up
in a nightmare
of all those miles of ocean,
of all those ungiven kisses
between us
©RoseGirl2021
What should I write
if tears drip
from my pen
then I’ll just write us
a river of love
©RoseGirl2021
And if the heart
hurts too much
we just hold
our head up
in the clouds
to keep track
of our dreams
©RoseGirl2021
The moon looks
watery tonight
as if the tears
in her eyes
give her blurred sight
as she misses
her beloved, the sun

On Team Me
there’s always
you and me

If the pain
of being excluded
makes you feel
lonely and small
then realize that
being excluded
maybe just says
how exclusive
you are
©RoseGirl2021
And as she lies
on her bed
enduring aches,
straight through
the thunder
she hears his
soft call,
his hopeful song
and then
with tender touch
their love puts a hand
on her forehead
and heart
to soothe her
till the storm passes
©RoseGirl2021
She’s standing outside
in front of a closed door
She’s alone with only
the birds to talk to
from the other side she hears
laughters and melodies
and she would like to join
the team of joy
she would like to share in
creation and togetherness
She could open the door
with a few coins
but is she welcome
she fears, she hesitates
and as she watches the birds
fly freely over walls,
taking the whole sky,
she wonders, if the closed
door is real
or did her mind create it
maybe if she opens up
more to love
the door will open for her
by itself?

Waves of pain
corner me
and smash hard
and merciless
on my land
but within
the raging sea
I have
a love island
where I seek
higher ground
with you
©RoseGirl2021
In Amsterdam
we’ve never been together
We left our imprints,
our separate traces
of footsteps here
at different times
but in the now,
that does not distinguish
between past and past
it looks like our footsteps
that light up in front of me
once met each other
here in this town
©RoseGirl2021
Whatever crowd I’m in,
whenever the world is
chaotic and overwhelming
I find a private,
quiet moment
as I go within
and connect with you
©RoseGirl2021
At night the earth
lights up in white
snow makes me stand
on a blank paper
Heaven watches me
write a poem for you
on the white floor
The heat of the love
makes my finger burn
and the paper melts
©RoseGirl2021
There’s so much to discover
here in this moment
when I immerse myself
in feeling you
and breathe
deeper and deeper
in body, in heart and in soul
into the depth
of our love
©RoseGirl2021
It’s a cold, cold day
from the grey sky
snowflakes fall
in my face
while in my heart
I cuddle up
with you
in warm love
©RoseGirl2021
Forest creatures gather
around the wildwood flower
as they watch her tears glimmer
in the light of the moon
‘Oh dear wildwood flower
why do you look so sad?
After all that you have given –
you gave the earth
your dancing footsteps,
the birds your songs
your troubadour your heart
you gave love your poems
you gave and you gave
and now it’s finally time
to happily receive
The waters, the air are flowing
towards you to bring your troubadour,
to bring good news
Is it almost too good to believe
and do you doubt that
it is really meant for you
that not only the woods, the birds,
that your troubadour matters
but that you matter too
to be loved, to be respected,
to be cared for, to be cherished?
Dry your tears and get up
you don’t need to get lost,
to wait or to search anymore,
But now, it’s time to be found
by your troubadour
by happiness
by love’
©RoseGirl2021
And I dream
as from across the ocean
your voice sings
a blanket for me
woven with words
of tender love
to lie under
in this cold night
I dream
that one day
not only your voice
and your heart
but also your eyes,
your lips, your hands
will find their way to me
to be my blanket
and entwined we will lie here
under a shower of
shooting stars
©RoseGirl2021
Early in the morning
when it’s still
dark outside
and I meditate
with you in
heart and mind
and sit in silence,
I’m kissed
by sweet love
©RoseGirl2021
Be in your longing for me
I’ll be in my longing for you
and as the flames in our hearts
burn fiercely towards each other
we feel how much we’re belonging
together
©RoseGirl2021
Look up, my love
if you see those seagulls and pigeons soar
do you wish to fly just like me
Then close your eyes
and we imagine we hold hands,
we spread our wings and go up
We touch the clouds and pluck the stars
Nothing, no mountain, no sea
is in our way
not even gravity that can pull us down
Once we fly free in our universe of love
©RoseGirl2021
A winter sun shines on my face
as I bicycle through the cold
Red, warm cheeks
Legs peddle a rhythm of a song
only you and me can hear
And although on my left
I see dark clouds gather
above the river,
soon rain may start to fall
and I miss you more
than I can say,
this song in my heart,
a song about
our endless summer,
will be my destined sun
that no cloud can take away
©RoseGirl2021
I lie on my bed
I breathe
and think of you
on the other shore
in a land far away
I breathe in, breathe out
As I rise and fall,
as I wave
on my breath
I imagine to be the ocean
that pulls the two
separate continents together
so their shores can kiss
©RoseGirl2021
Go to sleep, my dear
The moon will shine upon you
guide you through the dark
She will hold you in her arms
stroke your skin
with her tender, loving light
kiss a poem on your lips
and glow you
into the sweetest dreams
like she is me
©RoseGirl2021
And I move my body
move my hips, my arms,
my feet, my legs
I let my longing -me desiring you,
let love dance
so all those stuck thoughts,
stuck ‘I miss you’s’
stuck aches
stuck words
find poetry again
