Der Flug der Wörter

Es gibt durchaus auch faule Tage
Da sich die Worte nicht von selbst schreiben
Dann ist jedes Wort abgerungen
Jeder Buchstabe ein Kunstwerk

Hier ist (k)ein Mensch

Ein Flackern erreicht die Gischt
Aus den Tiefen des dunklen Blaus
Aus der unendlich scheinenden Tiefsee

Sonnet #36: Earthquake

Too long it takes to realize the pain
For those who suffer death comes within seconds
Through earthquakes there is not much more to gain
Then beg for help as president he reckons

Gefichtenfaselei

Wer ist denn schon bereit
Nur noch ans Jetzt zu denken
Wenn sie sich lichten
Diese wirklich alten Fichten

Zwischen Schnee und Dritter Halbzeit

Dicke Flocken fallen aus blauem Himmel
Weiß wie Schnee
Dick wie eine Daunendecke

Nobody is Trapped. There is a Whole World Waiting for You

Where am I? Who am I?
In my dream I walk along an empty street; feeling empty; being alone

(A)soziale Menschen

Menschen brauchen Menschen
um Mensch zu sein
Ein Mensch braucht das Gegenüber
Da genügt kein Hund

Late Balcony Evenings

My late balcony evenings had been long past
Until today
I went out with a cigarette

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!
