Lack of Confusion

standing in the middle of nowhere
i’m still seeing clear
thus I’m having fear
not of the unknown

visionary : : speechless

dreaming of a world of hate
in which i can be
a spark of miracles
spreading colours everywhere

Im Fußtaxi durch Stadtlandschaften

Der Mistelzweig des Lebens ist immer nur ein Atmen weit entfernt. Der Himmel spiegelt sich in deinen Augen. Und wo du bist, ist Ruh.

Morning Breaks the Law

Beauty always appears at dawn
When you go up soon
Right before the daylight

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?

New Reality

The new reality is this
The press doesn’t tell what is
But what was said
It doesn’t matter if it’s true

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!
