Youth on the Phone

How do they meet each other
How do they know
The other’s personality
How do they show

My Left Side

there is nothing to hide
for my left side
life goes on

Dreiklang

Ein Kleintransporter aus Freital
Hält zwischen den Jahresendfeiertagen
An einer Ampel in Dresden
Die Fahrerseite verrät den Firmennamen

I Still Haven’t Done What I Want To Be Remembered For

There is a feeling inside of me
that I am enough

LOOKING

Looking is the only way I allow myself to drool about the pleasures of life
Looking along the crowded street wishing it was empty

First / Last Beam Of Light

What’s up brings you down
In the morning
When you’re standing
Peacefully

Mind Travels

Travelling back into the so-called good-old-times
Writing postcards
Smiling about felt nostalgia
Pre-Corona, you know

Across the Universe

I laud the magnitude / Of spherical heavens
On the Earth down here / But above our minds

Midnight Blues

Oh, the days go by / Without me trying
Shiny wizards at the sky / My life complete

Floating Ashore

Floating ashore / And drifting aside
Far from above / And fearful inside.

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!
