on a day trip

christmas comes late tonight
I forgot how to dance
but the miracle does happen
anyway

Ich sage eigentlich immer erst einmal Ja

Die Fallhöhe ist stets außergewöhnlich hoch
Das muss man sich klar machen
Wenn man auf einen Berg steigt
Dabei nie hinunterschaut

there is a night sky and it seems shifted

on a trip to the shore
frightened to the core
binge-watching the whales
measuring the scales

doubling the bill

my thrill today
fading away
through the heat
trying to keep
my sanity

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?

others want to see me mad

if i never want to go mad
others possibly will be sad

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!
