Wherever I am
I always keep
my eyes
on the moon,
the light in the dark
as if it is you

Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
Wherever I am
I always keep
my eyes
on the moon,
the light in the dark
as if it is you
©RoseGirl2020
If I had a lot of money
I would build you a palace
But instead,
I build you a fairy palace
to live and to dream in
with love and with words
©RoseGirl2020
Whatever the ocean does
it can’t truly harm us
for our love
isn’t built on sand
it’s built on rock
©RoseGirl2020
How could we ever be separated
as we are forever present
within each other’s heart

When she hears him,
her fairy man, sing
like a nightingale
under the stars and moon
in the middle of the dark forest
where the Beautywood is
and where the fire burns high,
his joy, his sounds, his enchanting
songs, his heart
take her up into the heavens
and she knows, her place
was never in the shadows
but her feet, her heart were made
to dance, love and hope
along with him
©RoseGirl2020
And in the middle of the dark forest
there is a spot called the beautywood
where the light shines, the fire burns
where they sing, dance, play music
together well into the night
where laughter fills the air
and happiness magically sparkles
where everything looks beautiful
and perfect
And she,
she watches it from a distance
in the dark behind some trees
She is not from the beautywood,
she came from far
with just one little lantern
the light in her heart
to guide her way
She is a wanderer
with a desire for home
For long she thought,
she was a lost soul
in the dark of the forest
And now she watches the beautywood,
hears the enchanting sounds
With pain in her heart
she thinks, it’s out of her reach
it isn’t for her
she is just an outsider, left out
excluded, unwelcome
she doesn’t belong
And in the night she cries
to the moon like a lonely wolf
The moon carefully strokes
her hair with her soft
glimmering light and smiles:
‘Oh dear, do not fear the beautywood
Do not block your own way
Desire attracted you
The light in your heart led you
Love, beauty and happiness
will never exclude’

After a night of little sleep
a fog in my head in the morning
makes everything look blurry
and doubtful
yet in my heart my vision of you
is clear
©RoseGirl2020
With the super new moon
in the sky tonight
that I cannot see
but I know it’s there
I hold the vision of love,
the vision of us
I hold you in my heart
And then,
what is invisible
is strongly felt
©RoseGirl2020
May rain grow us
May storms move us forward
May cold make us generate
more warmth from the heart
May walls make us go up and fly
and nightmares make us dream
May every fear, every flaw,
every obstacle make us love
each other even more
©RoseGirl2020
On an endless road,
a long drive through
vast Dutch landscape
the sun shines on my face
and for a moment
burns away the painful
‘I miss you’s’
I have all the time,
I have all the space
to think and dream
endlessly of you
©RoseGirl2020
A merciless migraine
pierces my forehead
And ‘I miss you’s’
pierce my heart
Yet from my wounds
I bleed love
©RoseGirl2020
There is no greater,
no deeper gap
to fall in than
to miss you
©RoseGirl2020
Can you turn a light on, my love
’cause my night is darker than dark
Can you blow a kiss from afar
that will make a star above me
©RoseGirl2020
I could say a lot now
Screaming my hurt
to the heavens
Letting my fears, my tears,
my inner turmoil
rage like a hurricane
But instead,
the only thing
that comes out
is a whispered
‘I love you’
©RoseGirl2020
Self-doubts make her fall deep
into the burning fires
in the hell of her mind
Maybe she has never been an angel
but is always just a devil
in disguise
And the only thing that can make
her experience heaven
is her love for him
©RoseGirl2020
When I cannot look back
as the past hurts too much
and I cannot look forward
as my mind makes me fear
the future
I look up to the sky to see
sun and moon
he and she
in the eternal now
in a perfect dance,
in perfect harmony
always
©RoseGirl2020
Do you look at the stars at night
and do you wish for me
like I wish for you
Do you see our wishes entwine
in emerald light
Do you see shooting stars
do their work
with our heart’s desires
to bring the magic of the heavens
back to earth
©RoseGirl2020
When I hold my breath
and feel so much lost
in my fears, in the dark
please find me
and bring me back
to the light of your heart
Shine me to my own
so I will feel again
love is, you are
never further away
than the next breath
©RoseGirl2020
You sit in a field
Man with a guitar
a feather in his hat
A cloud in heart shape
drifts by
And you look
to your left
As if you hear
the uplifting sounds
of the future
What do you see, my man?
Please keep dreaming
Dream for us both
as big as you can
Dream us into reality
©RoseGirl2020
If you grow like a tree
in self-confidence,
hope and strength
reaching your branches out
to your dreams
I’ll be the soil in which
your roots can sink deep
that nourishes
and always supports you
I’ll be the forest,
a safe magical place
that always holds space,
holds the love for you
©RoseGirl2020
As I go through my day,
move through deep
fears, tears and pain,
and stumble and fall
many times,
I just continue to
bravely love
the hell out of you
©RoseGirl2020
My love, please dance with me
to move away all the rain
that falls within and keeps
dropping from my heart and eyes
We’ll do a sun dance together
to bring in the new,
to take us home to ourselves,
to each other
and invoke the sun
©RoseGirl2020
I can stand on my own feet
but my love,
please hold my hand
and walk with me
as I try to find
my way out of the dark
back to the light
©RoseGirl2020
If I look back at my life
and feel bad about myself
as I only see
all the mistakes I made
all the things I’ve done wrong
all my flawed ways
then at least,
I’ve done one good deed:
to wholeheartedly
and purely love you
©RoseGirl2020
May we meet in a kiss
from heart to heart
in a thought
from mind to mind
May we meet
in a dream, a poem
in a song, in a sigh
May we meet in longing
in feeling, in desire
May we meet
skin to skin,
word to word
me to you, you to me
eye to eye
May we meet
again and again
for in fact,
we never leave
each other
©RoseGirl2020
When I don’t want
to be asleep
and I don’t want
to be awake
for I don’t want
to see my nightmares
Then where to be
but to be in love
with you
©RoseGirl2020
The strength
is not in the worries,
not in the doubts,
nor in the fears
But the power is
in our connection,
in the love
©RoseGirl2020
As I lie in my bed in the dark
huge waves of fear
come rolling towards
my lonesome land
And I know the only thing
I can do is to breathe
and surrender
for on the other side of fear
there is a clear sea of love
behind the fata morgana
of troubled waters
there is our shore
©RoseGirl2020
As I drive home
in the comfortable warmth of my car
I see the sun set on the horizon
A big red fiery ball
that paints the sky in a palette
of tones
Elongated clouds that seem
to dance
Birds fly around a church tower
Trees stand majestically stretched out
And then it’s the thought of you
that is the grand finale
of this sunset symphony
©RoseGirl2020
All that I miss
All that I seek
is already within
where love is
and where I always
have access to you
from the heart
©RoseGirl2020
‘I miss you’ she whispers
into the dark
to the one she holds so dear
hoping that the night
will catch her words
and will fill the void
with loving dreams
©RoseGirl2020
There are a lot of things
my ego doesn’t understand
yet against all odds
my soul asks me to hope
and to trust
©RoseGirl2020
In the early morning I catch
a last glimpse of the moon
and send up all my love
so as she appears on your side
of the world now
and you look up, like me,
she can glow it to you
©RoseGirl2020
At night when my mind is in
overdrive and produces
its aches and fears
Lonely thoughts run
in all directions
too unfocused, too anxious
to make a poem that writes
me into peace,
I find solace in the deep
intimacy of my heart
where I commune with you
as it always poetically beats
for two
©RoseGirl2020
At night when outside
it all seems so quiet
fears and aches
are the loudest
and screaming
I miss you’s occupy
the silence
©RoseGirl2020
When my poems get too sad
and drown in their tears
I put on the music of love
to let them dance
to the tune of hope again
©RoseGirl2020
And under a waning moon
she cries her tears
What is she to the stars
in the night sky
Can they even see her
so far away
or is she smaller than small
does she just disappear
in the dark of the earth
and is she nothing at all?
No, they reply to her
we need your heart to reflect
our light
we need your eyes to be seen
your wishes to be received
we are twinkling in the night
for you
for you deserve a place
in our spotlight
©RoseGirl2020
I watch leaves float
wildly around me
as I let the fierceness
of the Autumn wind
pull me out of worries
and fears,
out of self doubts
and headaches
and let it pull me into
the peace of
just loving you
©RoseGirl2020
The moment I start to doubt
everything and everyone,
including myself
I uncover the only thing
that is sure:
the love I have for you
in my heart
©RoseGirl2020
At night when I lie awake
in my bed
my mind spins a nightmare
with threads of worries
and fears
whereas my heart,
with threads of love,
spins a beautiful dream
©RoseGirl2020
A Sunday without sun
is like a day
without glamour
like words
without poetry
it’s like me missing you
©RoseGirl2020
In a spooky night
under a blue full moon
when the veil
to the other world is thin
fears and shadows are illuminated
and the line between the real
and the surreal is unclear
we dance among the ghosts
and skeletons
beyond any illusion
we make magic out of love
©RoseGirl2020
Sometimes,
I mute the world,
disconnect from the earth
and put myself
on airplane mode
to fly away with you
in profound silence
©RoseGirl2020
I lay my head to rest
on the thought of you
and let its softness
kiss me goodnight
©RoseGirl2020
Keep dancing, my love
even if our feet are tired
our hearts never are
even if the world around us
collapses
we build up
even if others cannot hear
our music
as long as we can, we dance
love into existence
©RoseGirl2020
