A crying wind of longing
that comes from far,
blows through the night,
through the cracks,
penetrates the sleep
and wakes me up
so I feel
on my naked skin
on my naked heart
that I’m missing you

Tasting Stars
Looking at the sky
the night falls softly
on my lips
as I taste the stars
that seem to
have been kissed
to me by you

Dance Anyway
When pain makes
words so heavy,
they’re unable
to dance in poetry,
love reaches out a hand
to lift them up
so they can dance anyway
©RoseGirl2021
All Is Well
Thoughts paint
dark clouds above
a terrifying landscape
when they look
from the past
into the future
But in the now,
in the heart
where I am with you,
all is well

Love Rebuilds
Pain leaves a trail
of destruction
in the head
From the heart
love rebuilds
©RoseGirl2021
Keep Listening
Keep listening
to my whispers
in the pause between
two heartbeats,
two thoughts,
two breaths
to hear that
you are loved

Where It Wants To Go
Borders can be drawn
between countries
Oceans can split continents
But love is the bird in the sky
that is free to fly
where it wants to go

On The Horizon
I look at the horizon
and although I cannot see
the other shore,
I know it’s somewhere
and the sea and all its water
at some point comes to an end
As I know that you are there
©RoseGirl2021
Sea Wind
The sea wind blows strongly
through my head
and removes the clouded thoughts
so the heart can show again
its clear blue skies of love
©RoseGirl2021
Keep It Shining
When the sun glides away
from the sky
and the night seems ominous
don’t let yourself glide away
from the sun
but keep it shining in your heart
©RoseGirl2021
Fairies
As I walk here
I leave my marks,
leave my trail
and put my poems
in the dunes,
the woods for you
they will whisper, sing
to you like fairies
so you can find them
and follow me
©RoseGirl2021
In All That Is Sacred
The wind rustles
through the trees
around the white church
and if you listen carefully
you hear the angels sing
And I bow my head
and breathe my prayers
I breathe you
for in all that is sacred
I find our love
©RoseGirl2021
The Sea Is Hers
The sea is all hers
when she dives into it
She floats on her back
on the waves in the sun
The sky is the paper
on which she smiles
her poetry to him
And the water
is all of her love
©RoseGirl2021
The Light Has Won
A rooster crows
and harbingers the sunrise
Sheep bleat
The countryside slowly awakens
And I think of you
and know,
although the night
has been dark
the light has won again
©RoseGirl2021
You’re (Not) Here
You’re here in everything
around me
in the soft sea wind
in the trees that move
their leaves
in my longing
in the evening sun
and yet they’re all
telling me
that you’re not here
©RoseGirl2021
Adventures
Stories flow from my lips
as I whisper them
in the wind for you
Adventures blown
across the sea
that call you like sirens
to join them
©RoseGirl2021
From Kiss To Kiss
I walk to the sea
on the path where your feet
have kissed the earth too
when you were in the same land,
on the same side as me
when the sea didn’t separate
but held us both together
As I let the earth kiss my feet
it’s like you kiss them
and then I walk straight through
the past, the present, the future
from kiss to kiss with you
©RoseGirl2021
When Tears Fall Hard
Sometimes tears fall so hard
that they break the heart,
hurt the skin
But luckily, love is there
to kiss and caress
the wounded spots
©RoseGirl2021
On My Behalf
The full moon looks out
for you tonight
to kiss you softly
on my behalf
with her tender light
into sweet dreams
©RoseGirl2021
Intimate
Those nights that I wrote you
I bridged the distance between us
with my words,
pulled you in letter by letter
so we could be together
in the naked space where
your eyes and my pen,
your silence and my words,
your heart and my heart met
©RoseGirl2021
Destination
The light of stars
travels a long way
to reach the eyes
as love travels
across the world tonight
to reach your heart
©RoseGirl2021
It Knows
The day runs fast
and passes with big steps
as if it knows
with every minute elapsed
it moves closer to you
©RoseGirl2021
When It Hurts
Love itself does not hurt
or separate us
But it’s when we
separate ourselves
from love, it hurts
©RoseGirl2021
Love Still Sounds
Can you hear me
in my silent world
when I have muted
my voice,
imprisoned my words
but love still sounds
in many tones
©RoseGirl2021
Of Use
If the wind just blows through her
as if she doesn’t exist,
if rain falls anyway
and stars disappear
If words don’t really need her,
the world won’t even miss her
at least her heart is of use
as it loves him
©RoseGirl2021
Pure Love
Raw pain hits the head
and makes a hell
though pure love strokes the heart
and then heaven
is just one thought of you away
©RoseGirl2021
A Kiss Sung By You
Even if the night roars
the head cries in ache
and loneliness screams,
somewhere out there
there’s a soft tune
a thought, a feeling
a kiss sung by you
that soothes the soul
©RoseGirl2021
A New Song
A sad song is played
between our hearts
of all that is missing
of what we lost
I’ll blow some dreams
your way
just make a new song,
my love
©RoseGirl2021
Rewriting
And I kiss you
and rewrite with my lips,
my tongue,
all the stories we once lived
until on your skin,
on your mind,
on your lips,
there’s only
all we long for,
all we wish
©RoseGirl2021
Far Beyond
Time, words, walls and oceans
could never separate us
for love as the earth
beneath our feet,
the sky above our heads,
stretches unimpeded
far beyond
©RoseGirl2021
Goosebumps
My poems fly with the wind
travel over distance
and land softly on your skin
so their words can touch
and slowly stroke you
to give you goosebumps
©RoseGirl2021
Sand
I slip away like sand
through hands that
couldn’t hold me
Scattered by the wind
in thousands of pieces
of ache
Oh ocean of love
come with your waves
to put me back
in solid form
©RoseGirl2021
Are You There
Are you still there, my love
even if eyes cannot see
ears cannot hear
and hands cannot touch
Are you still there
if fears are in the way
if silence is a wall
Are you still there
to remind me of love
©RoseGirl2021
Knowing
“Stars, when will I see him again
Is this all real, is love real
Why is all this happening
Why, if fate is written in you,
if you seem to know everything,
why, is the night, why are you
so silent then?
Why?”
And the stars quietly whispered
inside of her:
“So you can remember to know it
yourself”
©RoseGirl2021
Art Of Missing You
Poetry tries to fill up
the empty space,
paints its words
in different layers,
different shades
and makes art
of missing you
©RoseGirl2021
I Hold You
I hold you dearly
within the rain, the storm
the pain, the thoughts
within these words
in all that I know
in the unknown
in yesterdays
in days to come
in far away
in so, so close
I hold you
even if my arms now
have nothing to hold
©RoseGirl2021
Poem Making
My muse sends me words
that flutter like butterflies
around me
I am the flower that opens
its petals for them
so that they can land
and make a poem
inside the heart
©RoseGirl2021
I Blow Stars To You
Do not worry about the dark night
on your side of the world
I will blow kisses in the air here
and send them as stars to you
©RoseGirl2021
Sunrise
Loving thoughts of you
pull the sun fiery up
into the sky
©RoseGirl2021
A Little Dance
Between sunshine and rain showers
Between desire and missing you
Between dreams and reality
Between me here and you there
I dance a little dance with you
©RoseGirl2021
Look The Right Way To See
Eyes search for you
in the distance
All they see
are mountains of thoughts
that obscure view
But if they search
in the nearness,
in the here and now,
they see you
in every heartbeat
©RoseGirl2021
One Word
In my search for words
to craft a poem
and to describe
the feeling of your presence
inside my heart
I only find one word
that says it all:
Love
©RoseGirl2021
Close To The Sun
If she flies high in the sky
like an eagle,
far above her thoughts
she is closest to the sun,
closest to love
©RoseGirl2021
Picked Up
She didn’t pick up the pen
when she was down and broken
but the pen picked her up
and wrote her back in her poetry
next to her muse
©RoseGirl2021
Drowning
As I drown
in the silence,
in the void,
in the fears,
the tears, the pain,
the thoughts,
a beating heart
reminds me
I have love
to float on
