death – Scriptorium '77

Dooring Means Flooring

the cars run the streets
the cars ruin the needs
of bicyclists
and pedestrians

Four Minutes To Die

Four minutes
I think
There is a lot of time
Still

New Axis of Evil

No day is like the day before
The toddler in the White House swore
To make a deal and start a war

Buying a Pure Soul for Christmas

In silence we reach the target of life
Let me in
Yelled the clown
Let me see my goal

don’t fear

don’t fear
what’s in the future
the living
are dead way longer than they live

When the Waters Flow Backwards Again

What is a week
During a war
How did we come
This far

lotus

make place
for the turmoil of my pace
let me die with grace
make me living

Sonnet #61: Heroes

In our dreams the mighty fall for fame
Collecting garbage on the path to freedom
Whoever calls them heroes grows insane
If he would know, it wasn’t God who freed them

thirteen seconds to die

it’s too late again
he lived his life
but before he’s gone
there’s something left to do

© Dominik Alexander / 2024

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

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!
