Poetry is a place
where I reside
with you

©RoseGirl2022

Sun rays, penetrate me
Light, absorb me and
lift me up
from a heavy earth
into the sky
to have a sacred dance
with my beloved

©RoseGirl2022

When the night is dark
may light shine from the heart
so love is what becomes visible

©RoseGirl2022

You’re somewhere
out there
but what if ‘there’
doesn’t exist
and everything
I think of is
in fact, here
where I love?

©RoseGirl2022

And perhaps,
if I just write and write
and write
I’ll write peace into me
I’ll write you back
here

©RoseGirl2022

Seek my words
in the summer breeze
that whispers my poems
to you
in its different ways
to stroke your cheeks
and letter by letter breathes
my tales from overseas
onto you

©RoseGirl2022

Lying on my back
in the grass
I look at the sky
and wait
for a cloud to pass by
to jump on
so I can surf
my way to you

©RoseGirl2022

Do you look for me
Even if I’m nowhere to see
In all my dark places
In the corners
of the night
Even if I can’t see
myself

©RoseGirl2022

When I don’t write
when my pen doesn’t touch
the paper
and words aren’t needed
then love writes the most

©RoseGirl2022

As you lose solid ground
and the world beneath your feet
becomes smaller
hold on to your heart
rise high in love
you will float among clouds
and stars
cross mountains and oceans
as your heart brings you back to me

©RoseGirl2022

Are you still there, he asks
Where are you, she wonders
But do they both know
they are ever present
they will always be
as they consist of love

©RoseGirl2022

The sun rises
and the sun sets
it’s another day
he sings another song,
sleeps another sleep
Is it all the same?

And she stares at the sky
from her bed
it’s another day
she cries another tear,
dreams another dream
Far away
Is it all the same?

Or does love grow
and heal
beyond the days
beyond what they
can see?

©RoseGirl2022

The summer solstice sun
burns bright in the sky
and I drink it in
to quench my thirst
for you

©RoseGirl2022

As I swim in rough waters
lend me your hand
to pull me to the island
of a peaceful, timeless Self
where waves cannot come

©RoseGirl2022

The moon almost full
The day almost done
And before I fall asleep
I think a last thought of you
and then, you’re almost here

©RoseGirl2022

The sun that shines
through the bedroom window
caresses me softly
and wakes me up
to yet another sweet dream
with you

©RoseGirl2022

When pain and fears come by,
A head that almost explodes
But you know
there’s something
greater than that
You know
that there is love

©RoseGirl2022

And if the sun
touches her,
the rose slowly
opens her bud

Vulnerable she is
without her shields
of protection
But even with
open heart
open mind
she isn’t defenceless

as the beauty
that radiates from within
holds her upright

©RoseGirl2022

If I could write you now
I would write you
thousands of stories
on things seen, dreamt
or felt
I would write you miles
of poems
a dance of words
or I would just write you
a kiss

©RoseGirl2022

And if you can’t see me near
if you can’t hear me, can’t read me
then I’m even closer,
find me within

©RoseGirl2022

You say that all is well
even if you’re not near
but my skin doesn’t seem
to know the difference
between untouched
and gone for good
Can you teach it
to hold your embrace
in its cells
so it can already feel
your return

©RoseGirl2022

It’s gonna be alright
The sun is shining
Birds are singing
Nothing is lost
All will be found

But why then
do tears keep falling
from my eyes

©RoseGirl2022

I wish I could keep you here
in my land
the idea of being near
even if my hands
cannot touch you
But does it matter
where you are
if matter doesn’t matter
if love doesn’t stop
at the borders of sight
at the borders of land
not even at the borders
of our heart

©RoseGirl2022

Darkness all around us
like a heavy blanket
no moon, no sun
And it creeps into
bones and thoughts
until we realise
that we are the ones
that bring in the light

©RoseGirl2022

Did you return to the place
where our eyes once
found each other
where Van Gogh was born
and where we gave birth
to love art one night in July
Did you see the emptiness
this time
Or did you still see me
looking at you from inside
with eyes that want to be freed
from the past
and want to find yours once again
in the now

©RoseGirl2022

Don’t try to be in tune
with the world
But be in tune with love
so the world will get in tune
with you

©RoseGirl2022

Today is not any day
or just a day
Today is a special day
It is your day
A day to celebrate
how far you’ve come
what you bring
to the world
your uniqueness
your oneness
your everything,
something and nothing
your expression of life,
of the divine
what you came here to do
what you will do
You doing you being you
practicing, learning,
struggling, surviving
overcoming,
dreaming, living
and thriving

A day to celebrate
love
to celebrate
you

©RoseGirl2022

Do you have our words
for I’ve lost them
Speak them, sing them
let them reverberate
through the air
I will echo them
by silent kisses,
silent hope

©RoseGirl2022

There’s a place
where music is,
where the light is
where they all are
where you are
and I can’t go there
I can’t go in

It’s dark where I am
and I had wished

But then I hear music
from within
and I know
it is,
it has already been
your heart
that has let me in

©RoseGirl2022

Distance made my eyes
lose sight of you
Time made me lose
unmade memories
But love never let me
lose you

©RoseGirl2022

Now we are under the same sky
Do you still look up
Do you see
that the moon embraces us
finding us with her light
Apart, we have the same earth
beneath our feet
Moon and earth, they both
seem to know the way

©RoseGirl2022

Let’s be without words
and save them for later
for we have time
we have eternity

Let’s be in an embrace
soft and firm
and sink
in wordless feeling
in a wordless us

©RoseGirl2022

They both have a rose
She wears it in her hair
he on his chest
to show that they are
of the same love

©RoseGirl2022
