eyes – Page 2 – Scriptorium '77

whatever your main attraction might be

mine is to perish with loneliness
when i stroll through long abandoned castles
breathing in the history of places
wondering about long past people

White Mind Behind Fences

The heat makes me tired
High temperatures are definitely not what I desired
When I thought about summer

eyeballs. fear. darkness

My eyeballs are moving left to right and back
when I’m laying back —
They are always in motion
like my mind —

A Melody In Orange and Blue

Capture the light right, she said
demanded almost and lifted her head
full of wool and hair

Lamento Mori

Oh, magnitude of liberty
Cruel imagined safety
In our hearts:

Behind Closed Windows

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

Daughter of Syria

By the time all facts / Lie on the plate
The question might be / Will it be too late?

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!
