Is it the eyes, the skin
that deceive?
Can you truly miss
something, someone
that is so close, so dear
if loving him
keeps him present
in the heart

Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
Is it the eyes, the skin
that deceive?
Can you truly miss
something, someone
that is so close, so dear
if loving him
keeps him present
in the heart

Love is the falcon
soaring majestically
in the sky
chasing away
seagull thoughts
©RoseGirl2022
When words don’t easily flow
it’s because the pure white
of a blank page with infinite
possibilities,
describes best what love is
©RoseGirl2022
Love shines full
like the moon tonight
as ‘I miss you’
howls like the wind
©RoseGirl2022
Somewhere far
you sing your heart out
and I catch it here
under a sky full of stars
and put it safely
in mine
©RoseGirl2022
Do you know
how fast a kiss
can go
when it is blown
by the winds
of the heart
When it is
escorted by thoughts
when it has
an ocean to cross
and it wants to reach you
now
©RoseGirl2022
You are still there
in the midst of the depths
of my chest
in the eye of a storm
in the heart
feeling me
freeing me
as you kiss and heal
my heart from within
©RoseGirl2022
How powerful the moon
as she breaks through
nightly clouds
and shines in resonance
with the thought of you
©RoseGirl2022
Your eyes still gaze
through all layers
of time and space
into mine
©RoseGirl2022
Twinkle twinkle little star
I know who you are
It’s Venus in the sky tonight
aligned between sun and earth
Love and beauty shine bright
as she never ventures far
from the sun
connecting my eyes to yours,
the heavens to earth
©RoseGirl2022
I walk out at night
to look up at the stars
and have no wall, no roof
no thought, no fear between us
but to feel me with you
under the same sky
©RoseGirl2022
If everything is a practice
even the hardships, fears
disturbing thoughts, sickness
all the encounters,
then I practice love
©RoseGirl2022
Rewrite my stories,
the past, my fears
and write with your finger
from head to toe
all your hopes
and dreams for us
on me
let me be drenched
in each word,
rest in the spaces
in between,
caressed by each line
so I can fly
beyond the words
©RoseGirl2022
Find healing in my heart
where love streams
like endless waterfalls
to wash the world off us
and to bring us back
in our purest form
©RoseGirl2022
I whisper softly
poems in your ear
and touch your face
your whole body,
your heart
to caress you
to heal you
from all that isn’t love
©RoseGirl2022
I meet you
outside of time
Where the clock is not ticking
No yesterday, no tomorrow
No old year, no new year
No regret, no longing
Nothing marked, nothing set
Except where we are
Here,
in the infinite field of love
©RoseGirl2021
The world was turned
upside down
I floated in the dark
But the stars that we saw
when we met
are still where they are
©RoseGirl2021
Feet in the mud
of the polder
as the cold and the rain
caress my face
The winter wind plays
joyfully with my hair
The grey sky kisses me
the river smiles
as if it is the first time
as if there’s only now
Falcons fly above my head
and promise victory
Birds of the Rising Sun
Ancient Egypt deities
greet me
and I greet you from far
in gold rimmed thoughts
And I know I will,
we will rise
©RoseGirl2021
My body
was in the hospital bed
but I didn’t know
where I was
Words were too much
Legs couldn’t carry me
I didn’t remember
Eyes were closed
most of the time
but when I opened
them
I looked through the window
and saw a tree
with a bird in there
Leaves moved
the bird moved
I didn’t move
Still, like dead
Days passed
I didn’t know
I floated away
out of time
but always back
to the tree
to see the bird
Was it you, my love
that had flown
across the ocean
to keep me alive
©RoseGirl2021
And it was dark before my eyes
no memory, no history
without a story all that was left
within
was the light, the moment
that opened
the heart to love
To be reborn
in innocence
in the light of Christmas
©RoseGirl2021
*I wrote this poem in response to my stay in the ICU/ hospital and the recovery process I’m still in:
How close we are
when all those
miles of thoughts
between us
have been conquered
and hearts do
what they’re here for
as they take the lead
and leave nothing
between them but love
©RoseGirl2021
Can you dance
like you’ve never danced
before
and dance for me
dance for us
I’ll move your heart
so you can dance
for two
©RoseGirl2021
A heart that is beating too fast
that is racing and aching
gasping for breath
is just missing and longing
and running
with all that it’s got
towards you
©RoseGirl2021
*I’m dealing with some heart problems (low blood pressure, high heart rate, pain on the chest, dizziness, fainting) in my recovery process after my stay in the ICU/ hospital:
A world grey of
what I’m not able to do
what I don’t want
what I’m missing
I paint it with love
©RoseGirl2021
The castle in the picture
whispers stories and dreams
and light-heartedly invites us
to come in
Do you remember?
Do you hear?
for whatever life did to us
and the scars it left on our skin
a castle is made
for a king and his queen
©RoseGirl2021
When my own legs
can’t carry me
wear the rose,
wear love
and carry me
everywhere
right on your heart
©RoseGirl2021
I’ve been absent for quite a while on my blog because I was very ill and was in the ICU. However, I don’t know anything about it as I was unconscious. At first, when I came back, I didn’t know who I was anymore and lost my memories. Luckily, those are coming back.
It’s still a rollercoaster and I need a lot of rest and care but at least and Thank God! I’m able to write again.
The Unfinished Story
Life was eclipsed
darkness covered the eyes
-I can’t even see
myself no more,
memories buried
mind, body gone
into nowhere land,
But then destiny,
the unfinished story
of you and me
sends me its sun
©RoseGirl2021
My thoughts seek
and find you
in the wildest dreams
©RoseGirl2021
I leave the words unsaid
to leave the space to love
©RoseGirl2021
If everything seems
out of tune
it’s the heart
that keeps the pace,
keeps the rhythm
as it keeps loving you
©RoseGirl2021
Those thousand goodbyes
that make me die inside
every time
when fears and thoughts
disconnect me from you
only to find out
that in fact, love
never abandoned me
©RoseGirl2021
Lonely eyes look up
into the night
and ask the stars
to lift her up
out of the weight
of the stories,
the pain, the past,
the darkness on earth
and to reconnect her
to the bigger picture
of love
©RoseGirl2021
The morning dew
brings tears
to the world
A squirrel hops
across the grass
Birds sing longing songs
in the trees
And as I think of you
my arms reach up
towards the sky
through the fog
to catch the sun
©RoseGirl2021
I will be there, my love
at our fated meeting
I hear the calling
and respond
even if I have to walk
through dark nights
even if the road is long
and I have to climb mountains
even if I’m scared, exhausted
and disheartened
I will go on
and be there
when the church bells ring
when the day has come
that the stars align
on a date written in our hearts
when we have our appointment
I will show up
for myself, for you
for us
©RoseGirl2021
Do we even need my words
to translate the poems
sung all day long
between our hearts
or does true poetry speak
for itself
©RoseGirl2021
Stories are told
with soft whispers
of warm breath
on your skin
as fingers
trace lines
towards a
happy end
©RoseGirl2021
Mowers make a lot of noise
as they mow anything
that doesn’t serve no more
and cut away
old stories and thoughts
Until from within,
from stillness,
the song of free birds
can be heard again
©RoseGirl2021
The heart that seems
to be shattered
in fact, hasn’t been broken
but is always whole
as it is held together
by love
©RoseGirl2021
When I keep falling
and falling
from the heavy weight
of fears and pain,
catch me
in the softness
of your heart
©RoseGirl2021
I miss you
sometimes stands alone
©RoseGirl2021
Even if I cannot see you
Even if silence sounds so loud
and fear paints the night dark,
Above the earth,
above the thoughts,
the stars still light up
the story of us
and connect the dots
between me here
and you there
©RoseGirl2021
The mind seeks outside
and wonders
where you are
It’s the heart
that finds you
as resident
of its chambers
©RoseGirl2021
Waves come and go
Emotions flow
through me
Though I know
each wave
brings me closer
to you
and moves me
across the ocean
onto land
©RoseGirl2021
Butterflies make their own song
as they flutter with their wings
between two hearts
and make the air vibrate
on the frequency of love
©RoseGirl2021
We’ll be like a white paper
without the stories in our mind
without the memories and what we tell
ourselves about the future
and then there will be only
the blank page of the now
on which our kisses,
our dance of love writes
new poetry
©RoseGirl2021
