Do not search for words
but let them come to you
Do not let your eyes
wander restlessly
and seek him
desperately
in the outside world
But turn them inward
as there,
in your heart
all that you seek
will find you

©RoseGirl2020

In the evening silence
I hear the clock
ticking away
all our yesterdays
as my heart beats
to our timeless love

©RoseGirl2020

It can rain in many ways
Rain can fall short and heavy
or it can fall long and soft
but enough to make you drown
Ice cold or bittersweet
light, grey or stormy

The sun can shine in many ways
it can burn hot, ecstatic
gently comforting or tingling
And although a cloud
can try to cover it
it will never fade
but always shine on
as the hope, the inner knowing
within the rain

When she tries to run away
from the dark
tries to hide
to cover her eyes
but wherever she goes
wherever she looks
back or forward
it all seems so dark,
she forgets that
she has nothing to fear
for she has light in her heart
she only needs to shine love brightly
and then the dark will run away
from her

©RoseGirl2020

Fly with the speed of thought
across the ocean
and lie here with me in my arms
feel me all around you
and rest
Rest in the knowingness
that we don’t need to fear or
to struggle
we don’t need to do or
to achieve anything
but we only need to be
in love

©RoseGirl2020

Love is so simple
it only needs
you and me

©RoseGirl2020

My words
are my fingers
with which I write poetry
all over your body
to honour with my art
the art that you are

©RoseGirl2020

Get up warrior,
coos the dove
on the roof
near the window
Do not focus
on what is absent
Focus on what you have
in your heart
’cause there
you have love
you have him
you have you
you have the whole world

©RoseGirl2020

When ‘I miss you’
makes a lot of noise
at night
and keeps me out of
my sleep
I cover my ears,
cover my thoughts
to listen to the voice
of love inside
and let it fill me
with ‘I believe’

©RoseGirl2020

Once when they first met,
she caught a dream in his eyes
A dream that never leaves her
even when she woke up
and saw truth all around her
then, she started
to dream the dream
the most

©RoseGirl2020

I drive on an endless road
all the way from the east
to the west
through the vastness and beauty
of the countryside
until the ugliness of the port
of Rotterdam appears
And I watch the wiper wipe rain
from the windshield
as my eyelids blink away tears
from my eyes
I let love wipe worries and fears
from my heart
so I have again clear view
of you and me

©RoseGirl2020

And with the ink
of my heart
I write you
a love letter
that, by a blown kiss
instantly travels far
yet stays so close
Its words invisible
to the eye
but readable
to your heart

©RoseGirl2020

The moments that I feel
joy, love, anger or fear
The moments that I feel
sad, relieved or lonely
I go to my heart
to connect with you
as you are part of me,
part of my heart
every feeling
I share it with you

©RoseGirl2020

Even if on this long journey
we cannot see the path ahead
and at times it’s deep dark
and freezing cold
Let’s trust our feet,
our hearts, our inner voice,
our love,
our longing for each other
the warmth, and power
of the fire awaiting us
and that with every step
we come closer to home

©RoseGirl2020

The first words thought
the first words spoken,
whispered, when I open my eyes
in the morning, set the tone
and then the day may be grey
the mind may be lost
aches and worries may make
a lot of distracting noise
feet may not even want to get up
in the end it will all dance
to the leading melody
of those first words ‘I love you’
rolled out as the sunny path to go

©RoseGirl2020

When I pull back
the heavy curtains
of headaches and
worrying thoughts
then behind them
the real scene is
you and me
and nothing but love

©RoseGirl2020

At night I go outside
to see the stars
as if I see you
in the vastness and beauty
of the universe
And I whisper your name
feel our hearts calling out
for each other
across time and space
and hear the stars
echo our love
as celestial music

©RoseGirl2020

To miss everything
to miss the whole world
to miss a part of me
and at the same time
missing nothing at all
and having everything,
is when I miss you
and feel you within

©RoseGirl2020

And one day my heart
will stop beating
My feet will stop dancing
I will shed my skin
and will take my last breath
but what will keep going,
moving, expanding
is, I’ll keep loving you
with my soul still intact

©RoseGirl2020

If the earth shakes underneath us
and water makes big waves
hold tight to your heart
I hold tight to mine
as we are safe in love

©RoseGirl2020

Full moon, can you get a glimpse
of my beloved
Can you see him from high above?
He, whose heart shines so brightly
on the other side of the world
A heart that matches
perfectly with mine
Can you glow your light upon him
in dark times
and let him know, that he is loved

©RoseGirl2020

And if I could
I would give you the sun
to shine always on your life
If I could,
I would give you the world
as that’s what you mean to me
If I could,
I would give you shooting stars
to make all your wishes come true
If I could

But here I am
bare feet, empty hands
Though with a full heart
I can only give you love
and then maybe,
that’s a good gift,
the best gift to give

©RoseGirl2020

I breathe out
hot vapor clouds
of loving you
into the freezing cold
and make
a steamy poem
with air

©RoseGirl2020

On this Sunday morning
as king Winter has arrived
too early
and breathes his breath of
stillness, cold and death
I wear our love
like a comfortable coat
that keeps me warm
and alive inside

©RoseGirl2020

To let myself fall
off a cliff
with arms wide open
into the unknown
and to let go
of any grip
of ‘why’ ‘when’,
‘how’ and ‘what if’
but to fully trust
that my heart and yours
will catch me
and that I will land softly
entwined with you
immersed in
the waters of love

©RoseGirl2020

The more
I am
with me
The more
I am
with you

©RoseGirl2020

When the morning starts
dark and foggy
I close the curtains again
and dive deep into
the feel and thought of you
to brightly open my heart

©RoseGirl2020

Amidst fears,
destruction and chaos
Among broken pieces
In dark nights,
deep pain, bleeding tears
Naked
With everything
and nothing
to lose
In the deepest love
That’s where I build my faith

©RoseGirl2020

She has a lot to be thankful for
She thanks mother earth
for carrying her feet,
for feeding and grounding her
She thanks father sky
for the roof above her,
for letting her walk
with her head in the clouds
and reach for the stars
She thanks the angels, the universe
for surrounding and supporting her
and filling her with light
She thanks love
for nourishing, guiding her
as the fire within,
the eternal flame
She thanks her beloved
for always being
within and with her
in soul, in heart and in energy
and for walking this journey
by her side

©RoseGirl2020

When I look at a picture of you
as a child
and see the purity, the playfulness
the innocent smile and
the twinkle in your eyes
I realise that this image of innocence
of the true you, I always see
when I look at you, think of you
feel you, imagine you
and see your heart

©RoseGirl2020

Carrier pigeon, please
brave the weather,
cross the ocean
to bring all my love letters
to my man
and lay them gently
on his heart

©RoseGirl2020

Two waterfalls stream down
from a green planted rock
to merge together as one
into a river of sparkling water
of living, eternal love

©RoseGirl2020

If my voice is silenced
and I cannot tell you
what I’d like to say
then my heart speaks
even louder
in the language of love

©RoseGirl2020

Whatever happened before
we have many new moons
to come,
countless moons ahead
to love each other

©RoseGirl2020

She takes the stage
like a bird that takes the sky
Once her feet have left
lower ground
she knows, there’s no
going back
With the strong wind of love
behind her wings
she can only rise and fly
to let stars and moon touch her
the world surround her
One with all that is
One with her beloved
