day – Scriptorium '77

the dreams might be insane but soon reality

what is it that I dream
is it hope
is it a wish
is it just

Claim Those Shadows Of the Night

You might be alone
At day
But, please, remember
You’ve always got

keep the state of living out of the dead

I’m afraid, I can’t tell
What the hell is that smell?
Knocking on my front door
Frightening me to the core

there was a clock on the wall

not anymore
it was falling at night
and I didn’t hear it

Song Of the Lost Planet

The pastel-coloured sunset dragged me outside
Made me putting my feet on the balcony
To sit on the warm granite

Letter By Letter, Word By Word

words flying by
surrounding my head
then my mind
not separated

Dreaming At Day With Eyes Open

When you dream yourself back to reality
Forget about your glasses
You don’t need to throw your sharp look into spaqces nobody cares about

Behind Closed Windows

A tear, a cry / Behind closed windows
For noone listens / Noone risks a tiny glance.

Breathing In, Breathing Out

Breathing in like it’s a beam of light
Prepare to fly / Through hidden wisdom;

Silver Lining on the Floor

Silver lining on the floor
Darkened shadows upon my pillow

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!
