Take my hand and
we leave the old year
the old year
There may be tears but
there is love

I turn on some music
Dusty Springfield’s
‘I only want to be with you’
fills the air and
here we are, a new start,
a new year

I dance you around
in my heart, in my words,
in my arms
’cause there is love
Oh gosh, so much love
there is

So dance with me
with your heart,
with your soul
with your lips,
with your hips
to set the tone
to set the love
for new year

Those little
tear shedding poems
that water words
for their muse
as if they long for
his hand, his lips
to calm them
and kiss back
the sun in their lines

©RoseGirl2020

I tend to rush towards the end
of the story
Eagerly and impatiently I devour
the pages
My right hand burns with desire
as it holds the pen that dances
towards the fiery climax

While your left hand goes beautifully
through the chapters and writes them
one by one and step by step

Our matching hands that balance
For we need your hand to build
a foundation,
solid and peaceful
And my hand to burn
the fire onto the pages
as we write together our perfect love

©RoseGirl2019

In the freezing winter cold
wrapped in a blanket,
wrapped in you
I watch the stars
that shine their glitter
and glamour upon me
while you keep me warm

©RoseGirl2019

And I love you
with such precision
exactly for who you are
that I leave no
single detail of you out

©RoseGirl2019

Missing you is like a little devil
on my shoulder that tells me:
‘Look, your eyes can’t see him.
He isn’t there, he isn’t there!
Your pen can’t reach him
Your words die a silent death’

While the angel on my other shoulder
softly whispers:
‘Look with the eyes of your heart
He is there, always
You cannot miss
what fills you up inside
True love cannot be separated
Not by a devil,
not by physical eyes
You don’t need your pen to reach him
As love connects purer and truer
than words’

©RoseGirl2019

Get lost in my words
Wander in my metaphors
Lose yourself in my creation
Dream my dreamed images
Yearn for my sketched desires
Fly from syllable to syllable
And free-fall into the spaces
in between

I will catch you
with wide open arms
at the end of my poem

©RoseGirl2019

You’re balm to my heart,
balm on my skin I am rubbed with
You absorb or do I absorb you
as I feel you all over me

You make me so soft and so smooth
You regenerate, rejuvenate
and hydrate me
You make me look shiny

You calm, you nourish and soothe
You heal and protect
You suit like a second skin

©RoseGirl2019

And I will always love more
than I fear
I will love more than I worry
I will love more than I grieve

And I will even
love you more than
I miss you

©RoseGirl2019

The tears that drop
from my eyes onto the paper,
with my finger
I draw them into a heart
for in the end,
each tear I shed for you
is just a drop of love

©RoseGirl2019

See me in a floating cloud,
in a shooting star
See me in a swooping bird
in a whirling leaf,
a dancing petal

See me in all that moves around you
and inside you
See me in your passing thoughts,
in your flying dreams
In love that comes to you
In a poem that skips and sings within

for I’m always on the move
to you

©RoseGirl2019

I am your Queen of Hearts
Your card of love and beauty
Passionate red attracts
Adorable as I adore you,
my King of Hearts

And although the deck and
the hands that play may change
We may be shuffled and turned
upside down, invisible for the eye
We know who we are
and where to find each other
In our Kingdom of Hearts
we always play a winning game

©RoseGirl2019

I don’t need no decorations,
no tree, no gifts,
no songs, no lights
to feel what Christmas truly is

Just as I don’t need no outside noise,
no ego, no adornment,
no spoken ‘I love you’s’, no poems
to feel what loving you truly is

©RoseGirl2019

I can never compete with tomorrow
I always lose
No matter how much I love you today
No matter how much my heart
overflows with love now
and how it expands with every beat,
just because you are inside,
it will always be less than tomorrow
for each day I love you more

©RoseGirl2019

At night when the dark
creeps in
If I need to talk,
need to write
to someone
will your eyes read,
will your heart listen
and reassure me
by sending me love
that all is well
and there’s nothing
wrong with me

©RoseGirl2019

My Christmas gift to you
is a little poem
Each letter carefully dipped
in love
In every word I put a little
of me
Hold it against your chest
It will warm you
in cold Christmas times

©RoseGirl2019

It’s so easy to lose ourselves
in the little pieces of you and me
in a piece of sadness, a piece of fear

But as we put all those pieces together
Light pieces, dark pieces
Pieces of you and me in all
the colours of the rainbow,
We see the bigger picture
We see a beautiful mosaic

©RoseGirl2019

When the day is at its darkest
and we cannot see,
our hearts take over
to touch and hold each other
in sacred inner stillness
And as we merge from within,
we let the light of love be born
with which we create ourselves anew

©RoseGirl2019

I listen to your silence
and I hear the unsaid
I hear all your
unspoken words
and I Iisten even deeper
I hear your soul song sing
and how it harmonizes
with mine

I listen to your silence
and let it speak, let it
sing to me
And I hear the orchestra
of your heart,
your uncensored voice
of wisdom

So don’t be afraid, my love
if your throat cannot voice
For even a silence
cannot silence you
You’ll always
still be heard by me

©RoseGirl2019

We tried to fit
into the ordinary
Though we were
never meant for it
Instead,
we were meant for
extraordinary love

©RoseGirl2019

When my waters flow strongly
Let your arms be my dikes
that hold me
and that keep me into place

©RoseGirl2019

And sometimes it’s good
to put down the pen
to take a pause
and be like the white
of the paper
and hold space
to receive the words

And instead of only
sending love out,
letting love in,
letting you in

To open the blinds
before my heart
and let the rays of your sun
shine its love letters
on my inside

©RoseGirl2019

When I’m so tired
of a world full of noise
all I want is
to lay my head
on your chest
To unplug the world
and be only plugged
into your heart

©RoseGirl2019

Do you long for home
like me
For our bodies to connect
Our arms to entwine
Our eyes to lock

Sometimes it feels so close
that you can already taste it,
smell it, sense it
As if you only need to reach out
your hand to open the door

And at times the mind may
fool the physical eyes
and it may look like home is
miles away, a world apart
And the journey seems so long
and exhausting
You seem lost and you wonder
how long it yet will take

And sometimes, it feels like
you have arrived
and you are home
You feel me, I feel you
As if we’re already there
And you taste me, I taste you
You smell me, I smell you
In the arms of the heart
we have enclosed each other

Home is here, my love
It is waiting for us
Do not let your mind,
your eyes fool you
But feel it, taste it, smell it
and our feet, our hands,
our arms, our eyes will follow

©RoseGirl2019

Our love is like a free bird
that flies high and gracefully
in the sky
We couldn’t catch it
We couldn’t cage it in our hearts

But instead, we had to break
free from the chains,
from what held us down
We had to grow our own wings,
rise above ourselves and
surrender to the wind

Just like our love,
we had to become
free birds as well

©RoseGirl2019

When the love has grown so great
that no word can even come close
to describe it accurately
and every word in fact only detracts,
then it is better to leave the rest
of the page blank

©RoseGirl2019

My heart bursts with poetry
that doesn’t want
to be put in words on a paper
but that just wants
to dance, love, feel its way
straight to your heart

©RoseGirl2019

The mind fears distance
The mind fears time

Whereas the heart
knows no separation
The heart knows
only infinite love

©RoseGirl2019

Every time
I see a picture of you
I smile a smile of
a thousand rays of love

©RoseGirl2019

I like to write and write and write
All day long and even at night
I wake up to take pen and paper

But maybe, it is not about the words
and producing many poems
But it’s more about being in the flow
of creation
to connect to my muse even deeper
and to dance love wherever I go

©RoseGirl2019

The full moon,
I don’t look for her outside
But I find her within me
as a glowing ball
inside my heart
that is lit up
by your internal sun
And I feel the tension
between those two
the attraction, the pull
deep love
Your sun, my moon
perfectly aligned

Together we can light
the whole world

©RoseGirl2019

You handed me a gift
It was wrapped in several
layers of paper
It took me many years
to unpack it

At times, when I took off a layer
and I got a glimse of
what could be inside,
I got scared
and again, quickly covered it

At times, I even put it aside
stored it on a hidden shelf
But it always seemed to
catch my attention
and to demand my
devotion and courage

The more layers I removed,
the softer it felt
and the more love glowed
from inside

Until I was brave enough
to fully face it,
to not run away from it no more
Until my eyes were strong enough
to handle its brightness
Until my mind had become
humble enough to serve
Then I took off the last layer

I saw that you had gifted me
my own heart in all its beauty
and purity
You had made me unpack
its ability to love wholly and fully
And there, I found you inside
