fight – Scriptorium '77

Waking Up From a Daydream

there lies a nightmare by the sea
that spreads into eternity
rivers grow and words collide
what’s there on the other side?

two more rows

tomorrow will be another day to try
tomorrow will be another day to sigh
tomorrow will be another day to expect
tomorrow will be another day to reflect

so we grow another pillow to fight / hide

so we grow another pillow to fight
one against one
us versus them
pillows are soft

ONE versus ONE

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

Sonnet #12: Prejudices

Applying to indifferences why
The schedule of the fight writes down the law
Release the armour whispers there a cry
The echo breaks itself at what we saw

Truth Only Been Told To the Mirror

The truth isn’t out there
It’s not even within
Time only flies by
Your secrets have been

Breathing In, Breathing Out

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

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!
