Running out of…
Water
I need to run to the kitchen
Dry mouth
Dry eyes
I need to fill this bottle with water again —

Running out of…
Time
Tick
Tock
It’s close to midnight
And this poem
If it’s an actual one
Isn’t finished yet —

Running out of…
Clothes
Naturally
Because
It’s dark at night
Obviously
The curtains are closed
Most of them
The ones that do exist
And nobody is still awake to throw an eye
Or two —

Running out of…
Roses
Because it’s cold outside
And sometimes rainy
Weather might be fine tomorrow
Perhaps if I go to the botanical garden
I might find some —

Running out of…
No
I’m not running out of…
What you think I’m running out of
I’m not running out of…
What do you think?
I know what you’re thinking
You think I’m running out of…
No
No
No
I don’t
I really don’t
I’m not running out of —

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!
