What I Stand For

I don’t take sides
I’m neither left nor right
I’m not ‘they versus us’
I’m not of a party
I’m not in a box
and therefore
cannot be framed
and won’t take
any blame and shame
on me

The only thing I follow
is the truth
of my heart
the only thing I stand for
is love

To See You

I count stars tonight
and watch the moon glow
full of desire, full of hope
How infinite the universe is
just like our love
that reaches further
than the eyes can see
so at the utmost reach
of sight
the heart takes over
to see more stars,
to see you

Set The Wild Horses Free

Free the songs silently
sung within
but almost explode
in crescendo
The feelings bubbling
deep down in your belly
The passion running
through your veins
The waves of desire
that flood your heart
Dance with me and set
your wild horses free
let them ride the love
Ride the world together
with me

My Pen Knows More

Often my pen seems to know
and to believe more than I do
When I see grey skies
My pen writes them blue
When I’m knocked down
by reality
my pen writes a fairy tale
When I’m lost
my pen finds me
When I don’t like myself
and see only mistakes
my pen let me look
through your eyes
to put me back into place
When I don’t like the now
and miss you like crazy
My pen writes a bright future
together with you

By The River

Meet me by the river
in the homeland of our dreams
where things flow
where things sing
what shall be and so it is

Where we don’t need
to miss each other
where the future beckons us
with its sun
that shines upon our tears
and makes a rainbow
for the present moment

Through The Window

A strong wind blows
and through the open window
finds its way inside
And I sit still
within the movement
my eyes closed
to see you

And then it’s like
another window opens
Desire whirls
within the heart
within the body
and makes me fly
through the window
to merge with you

Who We Truly Are

And we make a palace
of our memories together
where we store
only the good ones,
look at all the diamonds,
the treasures
and dance in its ballroom
among the gold, alchemized
when we met
Where we remember
when we look
in each other’s eyes,
who we truly are

©RoseGirl2020

As Long As We Love

And in another realm
I cry with you together
in your arms
about all that happened
the ocean between us
missing each other
an empty bed
longing that hurts
And as we dry
each other’s tears
we smile as we know
as long as we love
as long as we cry
together
we’re never truly apart

Brave Bird

Early in the morning
while I think of you
I watch the rain fall
And despite the bad weather,
the grey, depressing sky
I hear a bird sing
Just like my heart, the love
will never be silenced
even if it storms, thunders,
or rains,
regardless of heat or cold
it will always sing its song

Crows

Crows fly over us
Freer and lighter
closer to the sun
than we are

And they bring us
an omen of change
movement and good fortune
with their intelligent foresight
they see it all

My love, may we see
what those crows see
May we fly along with them
lighthearted and free

Complement

Yes I can stand strong on my own
But just like the moon that needs
the sun to shine
I need you to witness me when I rise
Your energy around me to ground me
and to feel safe to open
like a flower to the world
I need you to hold and protect me
when I’m naked and vulnerable
I need you to just be you
and to stand by my side

Up and Out

And we have both often fallen so hard
but got back up
We died so many times and came back to life
only because of a promise, a dream,
the eternal thread between us,
the light that we saw in each other’s heart
that pulled us up and out

The Look Of Your Heart

I see you sitting outside
with your back against a fence
among white roses of hope
and peace
as though you honor me

A guitar on your lap
for there’s so much music in you
your face, your smile, your skin
your gaze so pure, so soft
You have the look of your heart,
the look of love,
the look of you

©RoseGirl2020

Anyway

Even when we are worlds apart
the ocean, all those miles between us
It doesn’t even matter
that messages can’t be sent
If the internet would fall apart
that you couldn’t read my words,
my poems
that you couldn’t see my eyes
in my pictures that tell you stories,
let you look into my soul,
that I couldn’t see yours
for we communicate always
and anyway
through our hearts

Conversations With Yourself

And if you are on your own
and you have these
conversations with yourself
tell your you how beautiful he is
tell him that all is safe and well
that he is loved beyond measure
and is never truly alone
That he is carried by the earth,
the wind, the water
inspired by inner fire
and shined upon
by the moon and sun
talk to yourself, say the things
that I would say to you

It’s Not Just A Poem

And I go to sleep
on a pillow of love
like I lay down my head
on your chest

And the wind that blows
through the open window
is like your breath
that calms, that strokes
that sings to me

The moon is like the light
in your eyes
watching over me

And I listen
to the sound
of my own heartbeat
like it is yours
for you are in there

And then it’s like
it’s not just a song
it’s not just a poem
a sweet lullaby
it’s not just me
but it’s you that is here
in so many things

8/8

And it’s 8/8
the Lion’s Gate is open for us
my love, take my hand
and we’ll both be brave
we step, we dance
through it
towards a future of light

And although we may see dark now
It’s only our shadows
that cause
illusions and fear
we’re always protected by love

If you are afraid
Just dance with the journey,
dance with me
we’re always dancing together
Our brave hearts lead the way
For it takes courage to love
like we do

A Beautiful Summer Day

It’s a beautiful summer day
not because I lie in a hammock
that gently swings in the wind
under the shades of trees
not because dragonflies
and butterflies flutter around me
not because skies are clear
and the sun shines brightly
but it’s a beautiful summer day
because my heart sings
of you

©RoseGirl2020

Always Here

I watch the last light of the day
fade away to make room
for moon and stars
And I think of you
you’re so much here
all those miles
could never separate us
for what’s above
day and night
and distance
is love
What’s in the heart
is always near, always now,
always here
and never far

©RoseGirl2020

On Our Way

I lie on my back in a boat
sailing on Dutch waterways
The wind blows through my hair
and strokes my skin

I am sun kissed
when I think of you
And I see the blue skies
that you promised me
even with my eyes closed
I see

What your heart has painted
what the water,
the wind sings to me
waving on love
We’re on our way
home
