Poetic Art From The Heart ~ Finding Beauty In Truth
I may use big words
and many poems,
I may bring in the heavens
and call it divine
I may invoke
quantum physics
and mystical metaphors
But whatever it looks like
the actual message
is just simple and earthly:
My darling, I love you

They can put you in a crowd
and place hundreds of people
around you
They can give you another look,
and cover you up
They can blindfold me,
Yet, I would recognize you
by the beating of your heart,
the whisper of your soul,
by magnetic love
Like I’ve found and recognized you
Lifetime after lifetime

The Dutch tulip moves in the wind,
dances around in the fields
and makes them look colourful
People from all over the world
come to look at her
Though her heart only belongs
to the American flower, the rose
When she and he meet each other
their scent, their colours merge
Dutch grounding and the
American dream blend,
as they make the fields burst
orgasmically into Spring

In the soft bed of our hearts,
the gentle cradling of love
In dancing poetry
In sparkling magic
In the beauty of roses
In blooming desire
In melodic, touching songs
In the shine of the moon,
the stars and the sun
In always, eternal and forever
In this moment
That’s where we reside together
©RoseGirl2019
Many eyes look at me
But do you see that my eyes
only look at you
Do you see that they radiate
poetry just because they look at you
Do you see that the spotlights
shine on you and me
and that true love makes the show
go on and on
©RoseGirl2019
I felt you so strongly here with me
as though we both had stepped
through the veil
and our bodies touched
You wrapped a cloak of love
around my shoulders and pulled me
against your chest
It was more than a daydream
More than a wish or a desire
I saw by knowing, by feeling it
And in all those deep feelings
of love, passion, peace, harmony,
joy and laughter
I am united with you
©RoseGirl2019
And I sing my song
A song of a love so deep,
so eternal, so wide, so far
that it reaches out to you
to wherever you are
It makes the sky shower
glitter and glamour,
The heavens are my stage
The stars make a staircase
that brings me to your heart
Will you join
in a duet, in a harmony
Will you sing back your heart
up into the heavens and
right here next to me
Two voices that
find each other
in a grand finale
of true love

Moulin Rouge Finale ~
Come what may…
I will love you until my dying day
Video clip on YouTube watch here
And on the shore
she looked out over the sea,
she dreamed,
she flew on the wind
and danced her poetry
like a lighthouse
so that her songbird
that had flown out
from the other shore
could navigate his way to her
And she danced for days
and days became weeks
Weeks became months
Until time didn’t count no more
for all that counted was love
The songbird had a tough journey
through stormy weather
though he was determined
for what kept his wings,
his heart beating was love
And on a day out of time
the songbird saw land
and there he found her
or did she find him
as the wind of love
blew them together

Sometimes, it’s hard to know
what comes first
is it the feeling of love
or the thought of you
For when I think of you, I feel love
And when I feel love,
I have you on my mind
which makes me love you even more
And then the thought of you
becomes even stronger
So maybe, you’re both
the chicken and the egg
at the same time
©RoseGirl2019
It is a jungle in my mind
and I lie in the bushes
in my safari outfit
looking through binoculars
to observe what’s going on
Monkeys jump up and down
and back and forth
Elephants stomp on positive thoughts
Snakes try to poison me with fear
And a cacophony of birds
drown out the voice of my heart
Shall I Iift my hunting rifle
to destroy them once and for all
and restore my peace of mind
Or is it useless anyway
No, I have a better idea
Instead of fighting the wild life
Let’s play with it and make friends
My love, take your clothes off
Let’s swing through the jungle
of our minds
as Tarzan and Jane
©RoseGirl2019
In the light of the moon,
when you look up
and see her glow
above you in the night sky,
worldly things of the day
that are attached to the earth,
become less important
Just like in the light
of our love
all the other things pale
©RoseGirl2019
When so many things,
people and situations
fall away
And there are so many
losses and goodbyes
It only becomes clear
what is here to stay:
You and this love
©RoseGirl2019
It’s strange, how fast a sea can change
Calm waters can turn into a storm
Sometimes it’s a danger
that I can’t see coming
Was it a thought, a memory
and then the missing you
that came over me like a tidel wave
Heartache that made me drown
But I seek your hand, my love
to pull me out
That’s what we do for each other
We stay strong, my love
For it takes the two of us
to keep the ship afloat
©RoseGirl2019
The sea seems to dance today
Waves roll loudly and happily
through my mind
and silence the inner noise
My feet, my heart feather light
as I dance along
With every step I Ieave
a footprint of love in the sand
I blow hundreds of kisses
across the sea
They dance on the wind
above the water to your shore
Will you catch them?

Only a king can recognize a queen
Only he has the key
to a queen’s heart
And once he has opened it
Only he can touch deep, can caress it
and make it long for him
Only a king can make a queen dance
Only he can make her rise
above herself and make her write
poem after poem
Only a king can make a queen feel
at home in his arms
Only his eyes can enchant
and gaze their magic into her
Only a king is strong enough
to be always by her side
Only a king knows who his queen is
Only he can love her
like no one else can
©RoseGirl2019
I don’t write with the aim to get likes
to get fans or followers
I don’t adjust my lines,
adjust my colours to what others
may wish to see
But I write because I write,
because I am, because of love
Like a flower I bloom
my poems into the world
And simply do what I’m made for
©RoseGirl2019
The moon is round and full
like a pregnant lady
She births her light
into the dark sky
My heart is a full moon of love
that births poems like stars
for you to look at
Little lights in the night
A milky way for you to follow
A spiralling path
that sparkles you home
©RoseGirl2019
You are like eau de parfum
A breath-taking, sweet, gentle,
sensual scent
that is sprinkled on my heart
and that tingles on my skin
A delicate odor of spring flowers
that makes my butterflies
whirl up and go wild
Wherever I go,
there’s a cloud of you
around me
I breathe you in
You penetrate all of my pores
So that within and without
I’m immersed in my eau de parfum
©RoseGirl2019
Look, my love,
the moon is almost full
Another cycle will end
But after every ending
There’s a new beginning
And so we dance
the seasons,
the moon cycles,
the wheel of life
We die many times
And we rise again
We let go of our leaves
We have our cold Winters
A new dawn in Spring
We blossom in Summer
But no matter how many times
we dance the wheel
In the centre is always
our immovable,
undying love
©RoseGirl2019
My dear photographer,
to capture our world of love
look through the lens of your heart,
clean off the clutter of your mind
Zoom in, adjust the focus
to your deepest desires
Until you see clearly
and the picture is sharp
Then take your shot
©RoseGirl2019
No matter if you think
you are unworthy of love,
It’s your purpose to be loved
No matter if you think
you don’t deserve to be loved,
You are loved anyway
©RoseGirl2019
Breathe in
through your heart space
and take in
my love for you
Breathe out
through your heart space
and send
your love to me
We let our hearts kiss
each other
with every breath
I inhale you
You inhale me
We feel
We reach out and receive
And as we dance on the air
we flow even deeper
into love
©RoseGirl2019
We are like two cute pandas
We may be threatened
in the past
but we are a rare
true love couple
a species that is protected
so now everyone looks
at me and you
to see us cuddling up
in the poetry zoo
They all want us
to come together
and to court
so they can be reassured
that true love
will always live on
©RoseGirl2019
My words can’t stay away
from the paper for too long
They creep, crawl, jump
and dance towards it
as if they crave and miss
the white sheet
on which they want to be written
As if the paper is you
©RoseGirl2019
Whenever I feel sick
or I’m in pain,
you are the best medicine
The love is like a potion
that heals me from within
©RoseGirl2019
The Autumn storm came last night
It took away my voice
and left behind a burning
inflammation in my throat
that keeps the words stuck
as I cannot vocalize
But listen, my love
Hear my voice within you
Only you can hear me
as I continue to speak
with you in your heart
©RoseGirl2019
The rose doesn’t feel well
Her head hangs down
She feels sick, weak and tired
I nourish her,
make a quiet place,
protect her space
so she can rest
I blow the worries from her petals
and caress her with loving words
I let her lean against a stick
so she can still stand upright
and receive the light of her beloved,
the sun
I take good care of her
that precious rose in me
’cause what’s dear to you
is dear to me
And as I take care of me
I take care of us
©RoseGirl2019
When the world around you
comes down
Your tears keep flowing
You have so much worries
on your mind
When you toss and turn
in your bed
and can’t find your dreams
Then, my darling,
seek comfort in my heart
for I hold you there
always in love
©RoseGirl2019
And I take my pen like I
put on my dancing shoes
to burn up the dance floor
together with you
What more could a poetess wish for
than to let her words dance
with those of her poet
To let images, metaphors and letters
make love with each other
and let them merge rhythmically
into one, musical poem
To dance the night away,
the stars from the sky
the ink from the paper
To step out of the lines
and even make poetry
of silence
©RoseGirl2019
I want to be so naked with you
No defenses, no fears, no shame
Undressed and uncovered
My skin transparent
To let your eyes glide
over every spot of my body,
let them look into my mind and
gaze into my heart
Like your eyes are my own
I dance in your presence
in nothing but nakedness
in raw emotions, pure relaxation
And just be completely myself
The me I can only be with you
The you you can only be with me
©RoseGirl2019
May I lie in your arms
and will you hold me,
will you embrace
the part of me that is afraid
and doesn’t dare to trust,
the part of me that does believe,
the part of me that’s in her strength,
the part of me that feels so helpless,
the part of me that feels
guilty and bad,
that is harsh and judges herself
the part of me that is soft
and self-compassionate
If you hold all parts of me
in the arms of love
I will be whole
©RoseGirl2019
On this dark day in Autumn
Rain falls from the sky
Leaves fall from the trees
Tears fall from my eyes
as I cry myself free from old emotions
to make room for the new
I cuddle up inside
by the home fire of our love
©RoseGirl2019
When you hurt me
I was hurting myself
You were hurting yourself
I was hurting you
When your shadows came out
You were a mirror and
you showed me mine
So it’s not so much about
forgiving you
but it’s about healing
and forgiving ourselves
So that instead of shadows
Our mirror will reflect
even more of this pure love
For through ourselves
we love each other
Through each other
we love ourselves
©RoseGirl2019
You already have
everything you need
You have your breath
and your hands
that can heal
You have God
Your own light within
You have the wisdom
of your soul
You have me
You have love
©RoseGirl2019
Hope is never far
It’s in every moment
Every new breath
Your thoughts tell your eyes
what to see
They create the colours
of the world around you
So always let your eyes
look up, find the light
Even when it’s dark
©RoseGirl2019
What are you doing, my love
Do you sit somewhere
with a cup of coffee
in your hands
Do you stare
into your daydreams
and you think of me
Like I sit here
with a cup of coffee
in my hands
I stare into my daydreams
And I think of you
Then maybe,
if we stare long enough
into our daydreams
we see each other sitting there
drinking a cup of coffee together
©RoseGirl2019
When we clear out
and heal the old
and negative emotions,
Our hearts are like
the transparant glass
of a prism
They radiate the white light
of our love
in all the colours
of the rainbow
into the world
©RoseGirl2019
When in the last chapter
all the storylines,
all the loose ends
come together
and the mental confusion
dissolves
Then there is just peace
and a happy-ever-after
in the epilogue
©RoseGirl2019
The more words I use now,
the less I say
For sometimes,
words cover up
what is only meant to be felt
Like a blanket over the heart
that I pull aside
so you can feel my naked truth
in the blank space
after this poem
…
©RoseGirl2019
My thoughts, my feelings,
my prayers
are like a flock of birds
that fly out in unison towards you
Together they make
a whirling, waving pattern
in the shape of a heart
for they all hold
a piece of the love
©RoseGirl2019
‘Truth or dare,’ they asked
‘I choose truth,’ she said
‘Do you love him?’
‘Yes I do’
‘Truth or dare,’ they asked
‘I dare,’ she said
They gave her
a challenge to prove:
‘Love him’
And so she loved him,
even when it rained and thundered,
even when the earth shook,
even when she needed
to have patience,
even when she was blindfolded,
She dared and
she spoke the truth
©RoseGirl2019
If something pulls you down
If your own thoughts grab you
If fears try to get a hold
If you are in anything lower than love,
just shift out of it, my darling
Let your fingers on the strings
play another melody
Shift into another rhythm
Let your voice find another song
Call me in and we shift together
We let our feet dance another dance
our hearts write another poem
and we find again the lightness
and the laughter
©RoseGirl2019
Let’s dream a dream tonight
of just you and me
while we sit closely together
and hold each other
under the stars
And maybe the dream seems not
that exciting
No action, no words
Nothing that happens in particular
But yet, it’s the best dream ever dreamt
©RoseGirl2019
It may look like I have many options
for there are several flowers
offered to me
But in fact, there is only one option
one way to go, one flower to hold,
by far and beyond the most beautiful one
and that’s you
©RoseGirl2019
It may seem like I’m a wild rose
that dances freely around
in the meadows of poetry
unreachable almost
that you can sing and dream about
and that you can only watch
from afar
But my darling, get your hands on me
sense my velvety soft skin
underneath your fingertips
For I was not only made to fit
into your heart, fit into your gaze
and fit into your dreams
But I was also shaped to fit
perfectly into your hands and arms
©RoseGirl2019
