do what you like but do it slowly

smooth jazz
let me guess
you’re smoking hot
like me a lot

pushing on. breaking free

being loved
not admired
that was
what I desired

easy is a second chance

teardrops won’t last
sometimes they never reach
the bottom line of fear
hear hear

meet me on my better days

and the boy met with grace
despite his faster pace
what was left from his place
in the meantime

bottom line

the bottom line might be short
and of some sort
of innocence

this is your life

make it quick
but make it stick
to your mind
imagine being blind

Forgive Yourself

When it’s Sunday and you’re down
Because nothing worked
And you’re just frown
Forgive yourself

© Dominik Alexander / 2023

ONE versus ONE

It’s one against one
Until the other has won
When another day is breaking
Your heart still shaking

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!
