Whatever I see
Whatever I experience
It’s always your image,
the thought of you,
that lies like a filter
over everything

Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
Whatever I see
Whatever I experience
It’s always your image,
the thought of you,
that lies like a filter
over everything
©RoseGirl2020
Even the clouds in the sky don’t float
but keep still
the passion of summer’s bloom
in the air
like the whole world is holding its breath
waiting for the moment of me and you
when lips will follow desire
and find their move, find their home
and kiss
©RoseGirl2020
When she watches the night sky
she always sees the moon and stars
full and brightly shining
even if the heavens don’t show them
and hide them behind clouds
she always finds light in the dark
for she has love in her heart
and carries moon and stars inside
©RoseGirl2020
Among the broken things,
the shattered pieces
it only becomes obvious
how much our love is still intact
©RoseGirl2020
Whenever you need
I’ll always have a hand
to help you
A heart to listen
to what’s alive in you
Eyes to see you beautiful
Two arms to embrace you
unconditionally
Feet to dance with you
Dreams to fly away with
Prayers to give you faith
And an endless source of love
to nurture you
©RoseGirl2020
My love, whatever chaos,
divide and polarity
there may be around us,
we find the union, the harmony
within and between me and you
that we then let ripple
from our hearts into the world
©RoseGirl2020
She has fought her whole life
She fought to survive
She fought for others
for justice, truth and love
She fought even
when she was in fear
even when she was broken
And if there wasn’t a battle outside,
she continued to fight within
But what if she now, for one moment,
wouldn’t fight no more
and would put down her sword
would she finally find peace?
©RoseGirl2020
My last words of today
will be sweet and soft
a moon-kissed, star-shined
I love you
©RoseGirl2020
Sometimes a wave
needs to pull back
to gather strength
so it can roll forward
at full power
and have
an even bigger impact
on the land
©RoseGirl2020
We aren’t hyenas
that follow the crowd
But we are lions
that dare to walk away
that stand strong on their own
and follow their hearts
Loyal only to the crown
of their kingdom of love
©RoseGirl2020
And if I feel vulnerable
like a rose,
I just want to close
my petals again
to protect my heart
and only take you within
©RoseGirl2020
Hold my hand
like an anchor
when everything
seems uncertain
be sure in my love
©RoseGirl2020
My love for you is
a sun that never sets
but always rises
that climbs my sky
brightens my day
is stronger than any cloud
and warms my heart
©RoseGirl2020
And as I walk late at night
under the moon and stars
it’s quiet all around
and I look up,
I don’t need a shooting star
to make a wish
for I feel, the moon and stars,
the whole universe
already wishes you for me
©RoseGirl2020
Truth is truth
even if nobody believes it,
even if I’m hated
and it’s unseen,
truth won’t become less true
it doesn’t matter
what others may think
for I know the truth
God knows
and you, my love,
know me
©RoseGirl2020
Instead of falling
to the ground now
in fears and sadness
and being broken
I just fall completely
in love with you
©RoseGirl2020
And one day
when love got big
intense and scary
we lost our voice
to talk directly
to each other
and then,
it remained silent
Until we found
sound back
in our hearts
to voice love
©RoseGirl2020
If I could make love to you
on my rose petal bed of poetry
I would merge with you
in every word
dance a rhythm in every line
light a fire in metaphors
and wildly kissed letters
go deeper and deeper in meaning
and find harmony in rhyme
©RoseGirl2020
I wish I could tell you
about the details,
the storylines
the ups and downs
in many words
about everything that’s going on
but maybe now
as words are silenced,
we just learn
to speak a purer language
through feelings, images
and knowing, through love
transferred wordless
between our hearts
©RoseGirl2020
It’s been a hard day, a long day
so will you keep me close tonight
and hold me in your loving thoughts
shine like a star upon me
so I can peacefully fall asleep
and dream our shared dreams
©RoseGirl2020
Can you kiss
the rain from my sky
the rain from my eyes
and I’ll find
the sun within,
in our love
©RoseGirl2020
When I go through a hardship
though I try to make
the best of it
and deep down I know I can,
I know I will
Yet can you hold my hand
can I tell you I’m scared
will you leap with me together
by my side
when despite my fears
despite I’m feeling broken
I take my steps
©RoseGirl2020
And if the darkness comes
early tonight
and I wander around
lost in the woods of thoughts
trying to find home,
a comfortable shelter
If I feel like
an unwelcome guest
everywhere
at least, let me be welcome
in your heart
©RoseGirl2020
Will you see me beautiful, my love
even if people see me as their worst enemy
if they project their own dirt,
all their ugliness on me
and they cover me with their hatred
Can you lend me your eyes to remove their lies
and to see myself again
©RoseGirl2020
And I read your words
Bend instead of break, you say
so I won’t resist
I’ll flow upstream,
I will move upbeat
I will dance in the storm
and in the rain
I will move like branches
of a tree
like a flower in the field
As long as I follow the stream
of love and I dance,
whatever they may throw at me
whatever they may think or say,
I won’t break
©RoseGirl2020
And here I sit outside
with my back against a wall
Pain makes it so hard
to move and to breathe
Yet the sun shines on my face
and I soak the light in
My love, did you send the sun to me
did you ask it to find me
straight through the dark
and heavy clouds
Was it the answer to the prayer
you said
or was it mine that asked for you?
The light has found me
and touches, kisses my face
But it also makes the darkness
of the pain
so visible, so palpable
But continue to pray, my love
I continue to pray
even though it now hurts so much
It is the light that will heal
©RoseGirl2020
Even if people
blame, abuse
and hate me
even if they attack
threaten and harass me,
I continue to stand up
for myself
and to choose love
©RoseGirl2020
And while I lie on the grass
among wildflowers,
hear birds singing, wild cows howling,
see the water of the lake make ripples,
sense a light summer breeze on my skin
and watch the clouds in the sky make
different shapes,
the whole scenery,
nature only comes alive and starts
to make poetry
the moment I connect with you
©RoseGirl2020
At night when I face
my shadows
and see them make
frightening shapes
on the walls
I wrap myself
in the thought of you
to keep me safe
©RoseGirl2020
It may storm, snow, rain
or thunder outside
it may be dark and cold
But we know that
inside our hearts,
inside our love
there’s always the home fire
burning for us
©RoseGirl2020
There is a big parade,
a masquerade
People dance like robots
to rigid tunes played by others
Afraid as they are to think
and dance for themselves
They all look the same
They are all masked
Brainwashed
afraid to touch, afraid
to come any closer
their breath of life taken away
their voices silenced
Except for the ones
who freely dance
to the song of their own hearts
unmasked
they show the true face
of love and compassion
©RoseGirl2020
And the rain pours and pours
It cleanses our heart and mind
But after so much rain
We let the sun of our love
shine bright from our chest now
to dry our tears
and make our own rainbows
as we roll out love’s colourful carpets
to dance on
that embrace and lighten the world
©RoseGirl2020
When headaches and fears
project ghosts on the dark
screen of the night
and alone feels suddenly so lonely
my bed too big, and I’m too small
I think of you bravely
and let the love between our hearts
beam stars, beam light
into the darkness
©RoseGirl2020
I take a shell in my hands
I once found on the beach of Portugal
A melancholic smile
on my face when I think
of the memories it contains
And I hold it against my ear
and hear it whisper the stories
I shared with you
every detail, all the laughter,
the adventures
but above all I hear the sound, the song
of our deep ocean of love
©RoseGirl2020
When the wind blows
in all directions
and takes down illusions
and sacred cows
My beating heart underneath
my hand tells me
the only thing left to trust
is love
©RoseGirl2020
How can I make the day work
when clouds are grey
and I don’t know what to do
How can I make the world
brighter
and make the difference
make the change
Is it by just loving you today
and all my tomorrows
And then that will be
my inner and outer sun
©RoseGirl2020
You’re the beautiful elephant
in the room of my mind
wherever I look
whatever I think
I can’t look past you
©RoseGirl2020
I can’t look into your eyes
to see the stars tonight
so I look up
to see them in the sky
How I miss you
A heart-wrenching longing
makes me grasp for the stars
my arm, my hand reaches out
for them
as if they all hold a piece of light
from you
But then love,
like a shooting star
pulls me back inward
and there I see your eyes again
and find my universe with you
©RoseGirl2020
My love, I’m always with you
as you are with me
If you sometimes feel lonely
and you cannot see
it’s because there’s too much noise
in your mind
and I cannot reach you
so keep still and go within
to feel me, to hear
my words of love and guidance
©RoseGirl2020
And what if time doesn’t exist
and things don’t happen chronologically
but there’s just one big now
and it all happens simultaneously,
I could jump timelines with you
into another reality
and would make today July 14th
the everlasting day
that our love finds freedom
©RoseGirl2020
Sometimes the now stands
in such a stark contrast to the past
The same number on the calendar
The same summer day
but a bright shining sun,
fireworks in the sky,
eyes that sparkled
when they met back then
And it’s cloudy and grey,
it’s raining today,
outside and inside of me
While my eyes restlessly
seek yours
Though there’s a knowing
there’s a feeling
that the sun from back then
is still there behind the clouds
and is strong enough
to beam its light
onto the future
©RoseGirl2020
I need a dream so bright
that it lightens my future
I need a dream so strong
that it carries me
out of the darkness
if I can’t go forward myself
I need a dream so big
that it is bigger than my fears
bigger than my aches
I need a dream so unwavering
that it believes in itself
and still stands
even if everything else
has fallen apart
I need a dream so enchanting
that it takes me to places far
and makes all of its content
come true
A dream so magical
that I just want to dream and
to dream and to dream
That’s when I dream
about me and you
©RoseGirl2020
When I’m so tired, so anxious
and hurt from the battle
as a warrior of my heart
fighting on the front line
for a truthful and
compassionate world for us
may I rest in your arms
may I be enough
even if I don’t fight
May it be enough
if I just breathe
and if I just love
©RoseGirl2020
Maybe all the fact checkers
better go fact-check themselves
’cause fact is, in the end
the only thing true is love
©RoseGirl2020
In a turbulent world
In a dark night
When there’s
so much noise
of thoughts, fears
and headaches
in me,
only in my heart,
in feeling you,
in loving you I find
my peace
