All the storms
have calmed down
and the waters
have found
stillness
I lie in your arms
And peace,
deep love and harmony
is all that is

Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
All the storms
have calmed down
and the waters
have found
stillness
I lie in your arms
And peace,
deep love and harmony
is all that is

She wanted to write
about him in a normal way
No curls in the letters,
no dancing words
no metaphors, no rhyme
but straight language
However, no matter
how hard she tried
what came out
was just another poem
for he and the love she felt
were poetic in nature

The songs you wrote about us,
about me
You carefully crafted them
with your hands and heart
I hear a softness in your voice
I have never heard before
The moving images you painted
with colours and with stars
with the sun and moon together
in the sky
You made your love visible and audible
You painted our universe for me
And I am deeply grateful
and moved to tears
when my heart fully opens up
to the greatness of your gift
As I realize, that nobody
has ever done
anything like that for me
And that indeed,
you must truly love me
©RoseGirl2019
If my pen would break into pieces
and I could not write no more
then the stars would take over
to draw you my love
And if the stars would fall from heaven
then the flowers would tell you instead
for there will always be something left
to be the messenger of this love
©RoseGirl2019
It seems like it is silent in the forest
and there is not much going on
between the lovers
But if you listen with the ears
of the heart,
you hear that all the time
the silence speaks
You hear a symphony of love
between the love birds
Sometimes it is a sad song
that makes leaves fall like teardrops
The silence can be stormy,
and full of turmoil
Or it can be the sigh of relief,
the calm after the storm
The silence can scream
with longing
It can be fiery with desire and
passion
crackling with the heat that burns
in the lover’s hearts
The silence waves and moves
It dances
It vibrates, it tingles, it pulls
It is the connecting field,
the presence that is,
It is the space that the forest
holds for the two lovers
©RoseGirl2019
And I take my pen
and write out all the fears,
the worries, the pain, the blocks
I let them creep like spiders
over the paper
Then I shine the light of love
upon it
Instantly, the spiders disappear
and again, there is a blank page
©RoseGirl2019
Things around me can move
People come and go and
positions change
but the spot here next to me,
the throne next to the queen
will always be for you
Nothing or nobody can replace
the one that is crowned
by eternal love
©RoseGirl2019
Rise up, my love, rise
Be like the sun and climb
even higher
I hold the space for you
I’ll be the sky
from which you can birth
your golden light
to shine upon the world
©RoseGirl2019
You’re like a song
in my heart
a sweet, joyful melody
that caresses me
from inside
and makes me
want to sing along
©RoseGirl2019
Don’t try to fit
a love that is
out of the box
into any box
The only way
to love a love that is
out of the box
is to get out of
all the boxes
yourself
©RoseGirl2019
Change may be scary
and uncomfortable
For you never know
how the river flows
and as you float
away from the shore
there are losses
Though there is one thing
we can know for sure
the water may be wild
but its stream
will always lead us
to our sea of love
©RoseGirl2019
As she had many experiences
in which she felt helpless
her mind had learned
to take the reins
as a way to protect
and have a sense of control
When true love found her
her mind still tried to be in charge
It created false realities
based on fears and self-doubts
But in order to be free
and let love flow
Her mind needed to let go
of the ties it still held
For when true love is in the heart
the ego mind needs to lose control
©RoseGirl2019
They are connected in
heart, body, mind and soul
Their energies always
entwine, dance and interact
with each other
Messages sent
back and forth
She helps him by helping herself
When she balances within,
he can root in her
When she heals her wounds,
she heals him as well
When she uplifts her thoughts,
she sends him reassurance
When she takes care of her,
she takes care of him
When he stands up for himself,
he takes a stand for her
When he builds on their love,
he builds her up
When he honours his heart,
he honours hers
©RoseGirl2019
And he asked:
‘How can you still love me?
Even when I gave you
many reasons not
to love me?
She smiled:
‘Because you gave me
a bigger reason
to love you
that outweighed
all the other ones’
He: ‘Which reason?’
She: ‘You’
©RoseGirl2019
And he asked:
‘How can you still love me?’
She replied:
‘True love is persistent
Once it has found you
it will never leave
How can you remove
the sun from your sky?
You can put clouds
and walls in between,
wear sunglasses and do
anything to block the light
But that never makes
the sun go away’
©RoseGirl2019
Sometimes I’m like a fast train
and I head with great speed
fueled by longing
towards the destination
while I disregard the journey,
the view from the window
and I even get ahead of myself
Then I just need
to pull the brake and slow down
to roll in harmony again
with you, with myself, with life
To know that all that I want
is already there,
home is never far
My heart united with yours
Where we need to be
is right where we are
And from there
our destination rolls fast towards us
©RoseGirl2019
It doesn’t matter
if my poems are short or long,
If its letters are big or small
If they contain many sentences
or just a few words
For they all have a great message
about an even greater love
©RoseGirl2019
I think about you
and my words
stutter and stumble
on all the love
that comes out of me
They just drown
in its flood
©RoseGirl2019
Some painful memories are
like sharp pins
Dates that are pierced on the calendar
And sometimes still make
the heart bleed
Let’s pull them out together
Let’s pull the nails out of the cross
For we don’t need to suffer no more
It’s time to enjoy
Our boundless love gives us mercy
©RoseGirl2019
Can you be my journal
and can I write
every day on your pages
all that’s in my heart
Can I share with you
all my feelings, my secrets,
my stories, my thoughts
A sacred space for me
safely held by your loving eyes
A journal that heals,
that witnesses and knows
Like an open window
on my naked heart
Let me be your journal too
You can fill my pages
with all what wants to come out,
all of your truth
Let us write together in our journals
we do not even need to use a pen
But we just write with our hearts
©RoseGirl2019
Can you hold my heart, my love
for it shakes and shivers
Afraid as it is of the unknown
It cannot see clearly now
And it wonders, if it is still
on the right path back home
Can you hold my heart, my love
tightly pressed against yours
Can you let it hear, let it feel
the echo, the perfect mirror
of its own melody, its own rhythm
Two hearts that
always beat as one
And so with every heartbeat
you keep mine on track
©RoseGirl2019
When I write I hear melodies
behind my poems
Is it you that makes the music
to my words
and makes them dance
so we always compose together
Poetess and muse
are one in love and art
©RoseGirl2019
You look in the mirror
and you see a scared cat
instead of a brave lioness
You think you’re small
unworthy of love
You doubt yourself, you doubt life
And want to hide in a corner
till life passes by
and just forgets about you
But you came here to love
and be loved
And be that lioness
Do you hear your own heart and his
calling you out?
How can you fight
and stand up for love
if you allow your own thoughts to mutiny
if you allow your mind not to respect
the authority of your heart
You may think there’s something
wrong with you
’cause that’s what others told you
But the brighter your light shines
the more it will light up their darkness
Does that mean there’s something
wrong with the light
Or do they just see their own shadows?
Who has tamed the lioness inside
was it you or the others?
Roar, lioness, roar!
Roar in poetry, roar in dance
Roar love and let it silence your mind
©RoseGirl2019
You can never become a memory
for you are in every corner of my now
and you are woven
into every vision of the future
©RoseGirl2019
I cannot help but every time
my pen runs in your direction
Leaving a trail of words
as poems behind
The ink that flows towards you
like a fast running river
I can only float on it
and follow the stream
as love writes its way to you
©RoseGirl2019
Tears drip down
synchronized with
the rain outside
Clouds release
their heavy waters
and her eyes release
an ‘I miss you’
deep from her heart
She let it rain
and doesn’t wipe it away
for her tears
are just another
expression of love
©RoseGirl2019
What makes you interesting
is not your achievements,
your titles, your fans or your likes
not the reviews, the opinions of others
your friends, your stories
your status, your roles
What makes you interesting
is not what you do but who you are
It is you being you
with your pure, vulnerable heart
©RoseGirl2019
What do you do
when worries pop up everywhere
like weeds in your garden
above you dark clouds appear
and raindrops fall
You just take your pen
and write back the sun in your sky
you plant new seeds of hope
and let the rain nourish them
You let your words do a rain dance
and let it clean the dirt
Then you take
the radiant colours of love
to end your poem
with a rainbow
©RoseGirl2019
Don’t let the day start yet
Let me just stay in this moment
As I think of you
and feel you like a bliss in my heart
A moment that expands
by waves of love
that roll in all directions
that wash away all the other moments
the ones in the past, the ones in the future
And although I have some things to do today
Time already knocks on my door
Let me just stay a little longer
in this moment with you
©RoseGirl2019
She is a fairy and lives
in two worlds
up in the clouds
and down on earth
High in the sky
she flies with her beloved
They have a cloud for two
on which they cuddle
On earth
they live in different forests
and it may seem
they’re out of each other’s sight
and there are trees and
an ocean in between
Though they know better
What is perceived
on earth is not real
’cause they are fairies
They have the magic of their love
and a cloud for two
on which they are together
©RoseGirl2019
Do you feel our fingers
entwined
Our hands that hold
each other always
Do you feel a firm grip
when you go
through challenges
to let you know
we do this together
and I’m always by your side
When you feel joy
a playful touch
of our fingers
that dance and
celebrate together
Do you feel courage
in my hand
when you are scared
My fingers that
believe in your strength
to overcome
When you think
you fall down
into a black hole
and you feel lost
my hand’s got you
When you cannot sleep
your hand in mine
and my kisses
pressed onto it
as I stroke and hold
you through the night
A hand that inspires
and sets you afire
when you play and
create new songs
My hand that moves
along with yours
while we are both
on our way home
©RoseGirl2019
And this morning
I don’t write but feel
my poem to you
Felt from heart to heart
without interference
of words
©RoseGirl2019
I can tell you a thousand times
‘I love you’
And every time I can say it
in a different way
Every ‘I love you’ shows you
another layer,
A piece of my heart that you can taste
An ‘I love you’ that reaches deep,
one that is intense
An ‘I love you’ that warms you on the inside
One that is full-flavoured and one
that is just sweet
An ‘I love you’ that is playful
and stirs up your inner butterflies
An ‘I love you’ that is sensual
and makes you desire me
An ‘I love you’ that massages you,
that makes you feel relaxed and calm
One that reassures you
And one that has a light touch
Let all your senses take in my ‘I love you’s’
in all the rays, colours, flavours and shades
in which you are loved
©RoseGirl2019
There are words that always come
before and after all the other words
Before a poem starts
and after it has finished
They already occupy the page
long before the first letter is written
And they continue even after
the last point
They are the source
of all that I create
as a constant truth
they’re carved in my heart,
their echo sounds in yours
These words are: I love you
©RoseGirl2019
Are you still proud of me,
am I still your brave warrior
that makes you smile
I don’t have outside enemies no more
But now, I fight my battles inside
My thoughts, my fears, are my biggest demons
that sometimes make me crawl on the floor
and gasp for breath
But I don’t give up, I still do my best
to fight every battle with grace
as I fight for the freedom of my heart
It’s you, it’s the love that gives me strength
To know that every victory is for us
©RoseGirl2019
She flew freely in the sky like a bird
and thought, with wide open heart
she had again learned to trust
but when dark clouds gathered,
the rose of her heart showed thorns
that wanted to protect her
It was the part of her that had been hurt
and was so afraid to be hurt again
And therefore, for her survival
expected the worse
She expected the wind
to hit her in her face
the clouds to show her their teeth
She feared life itself would be cruel
and her deepest wish
would never come true
Those fears and thoughts
were her thorns
that were not pointed outwards
but inwards, they hurt her
But when she looked a bit closer
at the clouds
She saw that they didn’t have teeth
but made heart shapes for her
and the wind didn’t hit but lifted her up
so she could fly further towards her dream
©RoseGirl2019
It’s out of my hands
I can’t grasp it
I can’t mold it
Nothing I can do no more
but to trust
It’s out of my mind
out of the logic
I can’t analyze it
as this love can only
be understood
by the heart
It’s out of my feet
I can’t chase it
I can’t run from it
but only stay where I am
– in love
It’s in our hearts
It’s in the stars
It’s in the soul
It’s in the poems
It’s safely guarded
from high above
by God and angels
©RoseGirl2019
A day that feels like a heavy stone
I try to lift it
But it falls out of my hands
The whole world rests on my shoulders
And I can’t get my feet off the ground
to dance
The tears are stuck in my heart
They don’t want to flow through my eyes
I try to write but the words don’t want to move
A ship of poetry that sinks with its poetess on it
And yet, my darling, as I promised
you, myself
I’m still holding on to love
©RoseGirl2019
I’m like a lost object
stored on a shelf in the Lost and Found
Everyone is already gone
The light’s been turned off
The things around me that are left
behind, cast shadows
Though I know you didn’t forget
and you search for me
You look for me everywhere
For your heart is just as lost as mine
So here in this strange place
Where everything seems unknown
I wait for you to be found
and to be brought home
©RoseGirl2019
We stand with our feet in the water
Our fears lie like stones in between us
It seems that they are the obstacles
that prevent the water from flowing
But in fact, they are the stepping stones
And each fear we face, every step we take
brings us closer to each other
©RoseGirl2019
You’re always on my mind
Time cannot erase you
No thought can push you away
©RoseGirl2019
In your gaze
I found poetry
I found a million stars
I found the sun
I found dreams
I found hopes
I found a friend
I found a lover
I found heaven
I found forever
I found myself
©RoseGirl2019
Let’s dance tonight under the new moon
close to each other in the dark
In a dance of stillness
we don’t need to see but we feel
The seeds, the hidden roots
of this love we carry inside
In all its greatness, all its light
Like the black moon, though invisible
has in her the potential to be full
Out of the dark she will create,
out of the void she will arise
©RoseGirl2019
I sink into my consciousness
and observe the tears,
observe the rain, the fears
I step out the spooky thoughts
Deeper into my soul
I connect with the core of me
for there, in my soul
you can be found
©RoseGirl2019
I don’t need to tell you how I feel
for you are in my heart
and feel every emotion there with me
every wave, every tide,
Like I am in your heart
and feel into your core
Thus together we sail
on our emotional waters
While holding each other
we keep the ship on course
©RoseGirl2019
