Praha. Karlův most

This world is colourful
I can see you
You’ve sent me a smile
I don’t know you
Does it matter?
Your jacket is red
Your eyes are blue
You’ve got a heart of gold
I can touch you
Feel you
With my eyes
With my fingertips
With my soul
I can breathe those colours
They taste like minestrone in June
The blue from the sky
Drips under my skin
Illuminates my face
Makes me fly;
This world is colourful
And living.

This world appears black and white
I’m thinking
I’m not speaking
Because it’s too easy
To be wrong
Being on the bad side
Being wrong is bad
Being right is impossible
There are shadows
That’s our true self
We show to the world
The real self
We’ve put into a shelf
Thrown the key into the abyss
This black hole
Without light
The key can’t be separated
From darkness;
This world appears black and white
The shadows have to choose
One side or the other.

WRITING Creative writing is my personal way to deal with the world we live in. I try to figure what’s going on and how to make sense of it. Creative writing is also giving something from me to you to enjoy, to think about or just share some time together online.

POEMS On this page I started with poems because it’s an easy way for me to write something off my chest. Poems are about one tiny aspect in life, about a special feeling or a combination of both. Poems have the power to connect people in a special way. You can think about a poem for far longer than it lasted reading it. You can sing poems; you can think about poems; you can recite them out loud. Tell me what you think about my poetry. Or suggest a collaboration.

ART I already told you that I started with poems in here. But that’s just the beginning. I also write sonnets, short shories, novels, odes, haikus and more. I design my own books, do letterpress from time to time and like to make more collages. Some of it I put on here. Some of it I’m still working on. Most of it is still in my mind.

COLLABORATION I’d like to work together with other creative people. Do you like one of my poems and would like to make a song from it? Contact me! Do you have an idea but not the right words? Contact me! Do you like one subject I have written about and want to learn more? Contact me! Are you a writer but stuck in procrastination? Contact me!

FUN Sometimes I write about dark subjects. Sometimes I write about light subjects. Most of times I write because of the fun of writing. Because it’s healthy to do. Writing clears the mind. And, yeah, writing is fun. Do you like to learn more? Contact me!
