apocalypse – Scriptorium '77

After the Sunset

after the sunset the grass turns blue
after the sunset nothing is more true
than your hidden face on a pillow lake
and more false than a social media fake

Den of Iniquity

for lingering lights / at lusting midnight
when animals eerie / enter the silver

Tell Me Again That You Love Living

Into a storm we flee
Where we can breathe no more
The dead bodies collide
Where they keep living

Promised Land

Let me guess for a while
Don’t already open a trial
When I make up my mind
I promise, I will find

if so, vertigo

what if Earth doesn’t move anymore
one half gets the day
the other the dark
and where they meet
the shadows collide?

Bon homme Richard

The fruits of tomorrow are already planted
Here and there I can see the fresh air dwelling
And some boys are selling

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!
