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

©RoseGirl2020

And as we both
deeply feel, deeply know
what true love is,
we know that blaming and shaming
forcing and manipulating,
even if they say
it’s for the greater good
and out of love,
have nothing to do with that

©RoseGirl2020

And while the sun on your side
of the world shines brightly
and marks the day,
here on my side of the world
I watch it with its last strength
make a play of colours
before the dark of the night takes over
As if the sun is you
and reaches out to me in its longing
stretches its arms of light
across the ocean
to yet paint the sky for me
and make a wordless serenade

©RoseGirl2020

My fairy prince,
I don’t like the tale I’m in
The night is so dark
I’m lost in the woods
and fears, thoughts and aches
are waiting for me
like a big bad wolf

Can you give me
your magic kiss
to put me to sleep
and a second one
to wake me up again
in our real love’s
everlasting dreamland

©RoseGirl2020

Sometimes the best thing
you can do is to go out for a walk
to set things in motion
even if the weather is dreary
And then to just cry along
with the rain

©RoseGirl2020

If it all seems
impossible
then you have
to have faith
even more

©RoseGirl2020

I’m following
the stream
of my thoughts
to wash up
on the shore
of your arms

©RoseGirl2020

Sometimes my words
can’t find the paper
but get lost in the void
between heart en pen
leaving the white sheet
in front of me empty
to reflect that
in these moments
I miss you the most

©RoseGirl2020

I’m like a bee
that is always naturally
and irresistibly attracted
to the sweetness
of your heart

©RoseGirl2020

You’re always a bright
shining star
whether others may
recognize it or not
They may not look up
or they may not be
on the same frequency
as you are
and therefore cannot hear
the song of your heart

But that doesn’t say
anything about your light
how it illuminates the world
how it guides me to love you
every day even more

For he who has his heart full
of true love and beauty
is always a winner
and can never lose

©RoseGirl2020

When I lie in my bed
and stare into the dark
of the night
with nothing to look at
but my own heart
you are all I see

©RoseGirl2020

And if you stand up
speak your truth
and let yourself be seen
like a flower that grows
higher than the grass,
others can shoot at you
ridicule and shame you
but at least,
you can’t blame yourself
for you weren’t born
to just be like grass
you were made
to sing your own song
to show your own colours
to grow towards the light
and to follow your heart

©RoseGirl2020

When you were a child
and they bullied you
You had to run to escape
run for your life
You might have thought
you were alone
but you never were
for I held your hand
and ran with you
as fast as the wind
right by your side

©RoseGirl2020

And in the dark
I lie in my bed
Through the open window
I watch the night sky
And then the wind
blows over me
as if it brings
me a message
a gentle stroke of love
from you
And I reply
Through the open window
I send the wind back
across the ocean
to kiss and touch your skin
with love from me

©RoseGirl2020

Take my hands
read my eyes
and smile with me
We let all the stories
around us
just talk and scream
They do not really matter
for we know
we have a bigger
story to live:
the story of love

©RoseGirl2020

In the absence of words
in the silence of the evening
when the sun has not yet set
but outside rain falls
and dark clouds gather
so much is being said
between two hearts
that connect over distance
through love

©RoseGirl2020

Behind the eyes
where there are no boundaries
to those who see with the heart
where the mind is free
and we can go anywhere
and do anything
there, we see all
there, we always meet

©RoseGirl2020

I lay a hand on my heart
to feel the rhythm
of what is guiding me
to feel the movement of love,
touchable in my hand
To feel you
like music, like truth
like a feeling, a presence

And I cross skies,
oceans and time
as I let love expand
and hold you, hold us
in the radiance of my heart

©RoseGirl2020

And at night when the stars
start to shine
to weave their web of dreams
around me
and I look up to catch them
with my eyes,
my heart starts to yearn
for you even more
as if it reads
all our wishes, the prayers,
the story of fate written
on the starry ceiling

©RoseGirl2020

Whenever I drown
in my own cried river
of pain and sadness
it’s always the strong
thread of our bond,
the hand of love
that pulls me out

©RoseGirl2020

Some dates, some ache
some words
come back
in our awareness
to remind us
we have a love so great
that its light can heal time
can heal pain
and can rewrite words

©RoseGirl2020

There’s nothing
my eyes
long more for
than to dive deep
into yours

©RoseGirl2020

And if I would let pain write now
it would write a starless night
of fear
in which I can’t see, I’m not seen
A dark universe in which
I’m not even small
but nobody, nothing at all
It would write a flower
that doesn’t fit the field
that has the wrong colours,
and makes the wrong movements
in the wind

But if I would let love write now
it would write the sun and moon
together high above in the sky
The sun that shines upon the moon
to get her through the night
It would write a flower that fits
the heavens
and that perfectly fits love

©RoseGirl2020

Often, I’m the outsider
who observes,
sees deep
and like a cat,
walks her own path
outside the mass
Lucky though
to always be
inside your heart

©RoseGirl2020

My feet dance
My body moves
My lips smile
Just because
all the way from
across the ocean
they hear the music
of love

©RoseGirl2020

And if the noise
of the world,
the noise of our mind
gets loud,
we let the voice
of love sing
even louder

©RoseGirl2020

Oceans apart
A distance of
5000 miles
only showed
how close
you really are
to me

©RoseGirl2020

And if the night comes
with little sleep again
with fears that rise
dark and painful
with migraines
and thoughts that turn
themselves against me
will you shine your sun
to me
from your side of the world
to illuminate my night
and keep me safe and well
in the arms of love
so I can dream

©RoseGirl2020

A love poem came to me
but before I could grasp it
and bring it onto paper
it flew away
like a butterfly
but I don’t need
to chase to catch it
for nevertheless,
the butterfly will find
its way to you

©RoseGirl2020

You are so deep in me
where feelings run
deeper than oceans
where love resides
innocent and pure
where truth and wisdom guide
where you and me
are liquid and flowing
without skin, without borders
in an infinite embrace
There in the deepest
of my core
you have your home

©RoseGirl2020

Since the day I was born
I’ve always wished for you
All those nights
when I lay alone
in my bed
and stared shooting stars
upon the ceiling
my deep longing
already knew
about you

©RoseGirl2020

I don’t believe
anything
but love

©RoseGirl2020

Bittersweet is the feeling
of missing you
Pain mixed
with the taste of
how much
you mean to me

©RoseGirl2020

It’s about something and nothing
it’s about everything
It’s about life, here and now
and eternity
It’s about fireworks in the sky
shooting stars and the whole
universe
you in me
body, heart, mind, soul
entwine, dance, merge
when it all comes together
It’s about divine bliss

©RoseGirl2020

I can cross thousands of miles,
an ocean, the whole world
in an instant
I can turn on the sun
in a cloudy sky
and make stars twinkle
at night
I can make mountains move
I can make walls break
and fly
I can become a fairy,
a queen
then you’ll be my king
Everywhere I can make
dance floors
and palaces appear
for that’s just the magic
of loving you

©RoseGirl2020

I have never seen so many lies
in the world as I see now
But it makes me even more realize
what is real, what is pure and true:
our love

©RoseGirl2020

My love, so many poems
are still waiting to be born
in the light of your eyes
to be caught by your heart
But know that
we don’t even need
those written poems
as every time my heart beats
every time I breathe
I already make
a love poem for you

©RoseGirl2020

And we are
face to face
heart to heart
your eyes look
into mine
as a strong wind
blows around us
turning everything
upside down
just to make it all
fall into place
as it is meant to be
My hands in yours
Our feet rooted
like trees in love
See how strong we are
together
And then maybe
we are the wind
The wind of change

©RoseGirl2020

I’ve seen many things fall
Rain poured down
Tears fell hard
Beliefs collapsed
Connections broke
Curtains dropped
and even my own feet
stumbled
many times I fell
But the only thing
that keeps rising
is our love

©RoseGirl2020

Today I don’t
have much
to say to you
though I do have
a lot to feel
with you

©RoseGirl2020

Our love journey
is like a never ending
piece of music
Even in the interlude
when it may seem like
there’s not much going on
we still hear
the timeless echo
of our heart song
and we can already hear
new eager notes desiring
for an even better part
to come

©RoseGirl2020

Sometimes I feel
such a stranger
Nowhere at home
in the world
but with you
in our love

©RoseGirl2020
