My king, you are rising
As you step into your power
more and more
You took your horse and your sword
You rode out
and left the comfortable shelter
behind your walls
To follow your strong beating heart
on the path of love
Know that your queen has your back
She is your spine
Every time you fall
She will help you to get up and rise
Hear how she whispers
her words of love
and support
in your ears
See how she sends
an army of angels
to accompany you
Feel her hands
on your shoulders
Her scent in the wind
Her taste on your lips
She is behind you
in front of you,
next to you
inside you and all around
As she holds your hand
She holds your heart
And loves you
for all that you are

If I get distracted
by all the outer noises
By the ringing in my ears
The sounds and voices
in the open sky
And I dig myself
in too many words
I go within
to trust
the beauty of silence
To open up
to feel those whispers of love
between your heart and mine
that are without any form
without sounds or words
To listen to the purity
of vibrating silence
and let its love messages
speak for themselves

Once there was a worm
Living in the dark places
in the womb
of mother earth
It was like he was digging
his own grave
As he hid himself
in sadness and fear
Mother earth who saw
the lonesome worm struggle,
one day asked him:
‘Why are so unhappy,
my dear one?’
The worm said:
‘I have this dream
of being a songbird
to fly free in the clear open sky
But I am just a worm,
buried in heaviness
for no one to see’
Mother Earth replied:
‘My dear worm, first learn
to embrace yourself
for who you are
See your own value
Learn to embrace your dark parts
And then believe in your light’
And the worm took
these words to his heart
He learned more and more
How he as a worm helped to transmute the earth
And how out of the darkness
new flowers could grow
And one day he took the risk
He made his way up to the light
And at that moment
a beautiful songbird flew over
That made a dive,
swallowed the worm
and took flight
The dream and the dreamer
became one

You are the earth
And I am the water
As a river I flow
into your land
Your mountains are
groundskeepers
While my emotions
bring motion and flow
I fertilize your earth
You give me riverbanks
And together we steadily
harmonize and grow
©RoseGirl2019
I feel a strong pull
on my heart towards you
on this cord
between our hearts
Is it you that pulls the ship
back into the haven
by the force of your longing
And your hands of love?
©RoseGirl2019
He wrote a piece about himself
Perhaps the most honest and vulnerable
he had ever written
His courageous heart naked under the open sky
He dropped his ego masks
Didn’t hide his pain in sarcasm or
jokes no more
But let all his light shine on the dark
parts of his past
To find salvation in his pure true self
While the arms of true love hold him
©RoseGirl2019
And the birds are just birds
they do their bird-like things
they both fly and sing
and don’t ask why
they don’t pretend
or say ‘what if’
They surrender
to the seasons of life
They trust themselves,
the branches
and the wind
To see that all what happens
is a lesson
An opportunity to grow
I surrender to life,
and to you, my love bird
We just do our things,
what we were born for
We both fly and sing
and nest ourselves in love
©RoseGirl2019
You’re my guiding light
in nights of darkness
in storms of headaches
that beat craters of pain
For your love leads me
to find back peace within
©RoseGirl2019
Strong, sharp headaches
cut through my head like daggers
The only thing I can do is
to leave my head
and to descend to my heart
to feel you there
as a soothing plaster
on the aching wounds
©RoseGirl2019
You stand on the moon
in a hilly, bare landscape
with the guitar in your hand
you sing your own songs
Did you fly all the way up,
my astronaut of love
to bring an ode to the universe
as the brightest star
among the stars
Serenade me your heart
And I will fly to you
I just close my eyes,
I count to three
to let my wings of love
take me to you
Let us be moon dancers,
earth gazers,
mystery spacers
love makers
in the light glow of the moon
©RoseGirl2019
I read you like a book, my love
I hear you as a piece of music
And see you as a painting
I hear each vibration in your voice,
read each emotion between the lines,
devour every letter, every tone, every detail
And always see you full coloured
©RoseGirl2019
And the bird flew
and made a dive
as he sang a new song
for everyone to hear
The wind spread
the free sounds
of his tender voice
all over the land
It was a song of love
A bright song of hope
With his vulnerable heart,
his breakable wings
he flew strong
He sang of what he had seen
when he had dreamt
above the clouds
about the clear blue skies
that would appear soon
He sang it straight
into the heart
of his beloved
where he let his tunes
make rainbows
©RoseGirl2019
I woke up this morning
in the thought of you
that was like the sunray
shining through the bedroom window
How its light caressed my face
danced on my skin
warmed my heart
And made me walk on sunshine
into this new day
©RoseGirl2019
The sun that sets
draws a stripe of light
on the water
and connects
the two riverbanks
And I shine my sun within
to draw my path of light
and walk on water
from my heart to yours
©RoseGirl2019
I wanted to write
as I am in a stream of love
for you
and I seek a way to express
this bursting water inside of me
But I tried all the words
And not one word
even came close
to channel
the twirling stream
So then I gave up
on the words
And now I am just
a dancing fountain of love
©RoseGirl2019
I am your cup of tea
Warm first your hands
around me
And then touch my liquid
with your lips
Sip it slowly
And let it heat you
from the inside
Taste all of me
As much as you desire
As my cup of tea
will never empty
©RoseGirl2019
In my oneness with you
I am one with all,
for in my beloved
I find the whole world
©RoseGirl2019
Don’t tell the wind how to blow
Or force the direction it should take
Don’t say you need the wind,
Or you own it
Don’t put the ‘if’s’
like borders around it
Don’t try to tame
the free moving air
Even if it storms
Or keeps quiet,
Just love
©RoseGirl2019
My morning coffee somehow tastes
better and fuller flavoured
If I add some loving thoughts of you to it
Mixed with tingling sweet liquid from my heart
And a bit of desirous steam
©RoseGirl2019
You gave me a gift
It came as a seed
planted by your eyes
when we first met
and you looked
full of love at me
It needed to grow
It took some time
Before the seed
flowered and reached
its full potential
and I became
all what you had seen
in me
and had sown
and watered
by your eyes
©RoseGirl2019
I breathe spring into you
A tender breeze that whirls up
your butterflies inside,
makes them dance
and opens up your heart
like a delicate flower
I send my queen bee
to land onto it
to taste all its golden nectar
And then together we make
the sweetest honey
©RoseGirl2019
Soft tears of love
are the most beautiful to cry
As they spring from a heart
that is touched deeply
They make the eyes shimmer
And while they flow down
they caress the cheeks
and move the lips
to form a soft smile
©RoseGirl2019
As metaphors
we word-paint,
symbolize,
story-tell,
song-write
melodize
word-picture
express figuratively
our love
©RoseGirl2019
The waters of your heart
are going out
Love flows from you into the world
But can you let
the waves of love come in
And let the sea inside you rise,
let it fill you up
and balance the tides
of ebb and flood?
©RoseGirl2019
And while the full moon gazes
at me through the window
I think of
how you always gazed at me,
how your beautiful eyes lit up
in the half dark
when they looked for mine
to lock with
And then it’s almost
like it’s not the moon
that watches me
But it is you
who watches me from afar
and hypnotizes me again
with your bright glow
©RoseGirl2019
Two tall trees
elegantly bend
and find each other
While rooted
on their own
Their crowns blend
And in the wind
they softly dance
as they connect
in air and earth
©RoseGirl2019
She is like an alien,
an Alice in Wonderland
that sees the world and its people
every day anew
She smiles and walks in the streets
While she observes
and tries to connect by her heart
with the people she meets
She likes to dance
And to sit by the river
to stare at the water and the clouds
She likes to take pictures
As she sees beauty everywhere around
She doesn’t watch television
or read newspapers
She is not interested in discussions,
in politics, in money or status
as the only thing that matters to her
is your heart
And at night she returns to her planet
Where she sits in silence
Where she dreams,
she loves, meditates
and writes her stories, songs and poetry
©RoseGirl2019
If I get lost
in the crowd
and blend
into anonymity
Will you still see me
and name me
Will you come
to reach out your hand
so I can find back
my face again
when I look
into your eyes
©RoseGirl2019
In an ocean of millions of drops
You are the only drop for me
that shines brightly among all the others
And colours the whole sea
In a field of hundreds of flowers
You are the only flower
that catches my eyes
And makes my heart bloom
In a sky full of stars
You are the star I gaze at
And wish upon
©RoseGirl2019
I look at your picture
Your dreamy eyes
And your light smile
My heart is flooded with love
And in a wave
I roll into the picture
And drift ashore
With you within the image
So I can kiss you
©RoseGirl2019
Jump behind me on my bike, my love
While we ride over the dike
along the river
on this sunny Sunday afternoon
Together we sing
our songs of love
While we fly over the dike
across wide Dutch lands
with the wind behind our wings
and the melodies of the river
©RoseGirl2019
And she sits by the river
that flows from the North Sea
straight through her land
and finds its way into Germany
The noise of the water
makes waves in her ears
She breathes the sunlight
A smile on her face
when she thinks of him
and draws hearts
in the sand
©RoseGirl2019
Let the crows caw
And the flies stalk
Let the dogs bark,
show their teeth
Let the bees judge
And let the cows shit
For I have my land
of love
protected by
firm beacons of light
Let the characters
play their scripts
I won’t engage
with all the roles
As I see the soul,
the actor behind
I stand in love
and am the mirror
I reflect all back
When you look into it
Can you then handle yourself?
©RoseGirl2019
I dreamed it was many years later
and I had grown old
I was afraid to show myself to you
As your wild rose had lost
her bright red colour
And her petals didn’t have
the same strength,
But were hanging down
I was afraid you wouldn’t love me no more
You wouldn’t even recognize me
And maybe, even prefer another rose
Shyly I looked at you
But you, beautiful you
You didn’t even see my wrinkles
You only looked in awe
Locked with my eyes once again
And touched base
with the timeless beauty
inside the rose’s heart
©RoseGirl2019
My eyes stare a daydream
My heart beats a slow dance
And then in
one, two
one, two
I sway you here with me
©RoseGirl2019
If you are the black,
if you are the yin,
Then I am the white
I am the yang
And I will light
you up from within
©RoseGirl2019
I see you in a bare, black landscape
Among mountains and shadows
Is it the underworld
of sadness and fear?
Create from your heart
And take your paintbrush
Make a few green trees,
some colorful flowers,
a cat by your side and draw birds
Let me be your light in the dark
Come forward in love
Do not wait for the sun
For the sun is waiting for you
On the other side
of the mountains of fear
There is love
©RoseGirl2019
On this Valentine’s day
I could bring you an ode,
sing you a love song,
I could write you a poem
And tell you
in rhyme and words
in melody and colours
How much I love you
Each day even more
But then I realized,
Words wouldn’t have the right depth
Colours wouldn’t have enough brightness
And each melody would be
too mundane
So then I made in my heart
A celebration of our love
Not for you to read,
to hear or to see
But to feel
©RoseGirl2019
What would the moon see
if she looks down from above
Would she see me staring
and thinking of you?
Would she see you staring
and thinking of me?
Would she see how I look up
at her and the stars at night
And see you doing the same?
Would she see those two flames
burning inside our hearts
Two little lights that light up
from the earth
Would she smile as she sees
distance is relative
and we are connected
even more than we think?
©RoseGirl2019
I have a new story to write
As this one is better,
much better than the old
I will let out all my butterflies
and they will fill each page
with high vibrating love
I will then poetry you into it
together with me
We will dance our blissful lines
The story will rewrite history
And will create a new tomorrow
©RoseGirl2019
Follow me to calmer waters
As we sail towards destiny
Have my back, my love
While I hold us steady
I am not afraid no more
to move away
from all that doesn’t serve
my highest good
I am not afraid no more
to be on my own,
to go within
To lead with my heart
And to protect our ship
We are here on open sea
And although there is water all around
In my mind I already see the shore
©RoseGirl2019
And at night
the noises of the day
fade away
The world outside is far,
hidden behind
closed curtains
You are near
inside and all around
and in silence
I fly with you
and drift away
in a love bubble
©RoseGirl2019
And like a moth
I keep flying to the light
And although my wings can get
broken and burned
With open heart I fly
towards the flame,
towards love
Even when it is dark all around
my eyes keep searching for you
©RoseGirl2019
There is a wild man in you
that is wild at heart
and has wild dreams
A wild man that does not play
by the rules
but follows his own wild ways
He is led by a fire inside,
the tunes in his heart,
the love he envisions in his songs
A wild man that longs
for his wild rose
and to dance with her,
wild and playful
