jump with me from the ferry

from the deep end
always taking the risk
out of confidence
out of love

I’m glad
I’m not mad
But terribly sad

leer und wertlos

die welt ist vernetzt
doch sie fühlt sich gehetzt
sie will oft nur noch raus
aus dem haus

Breathing In the Daylight at Night

I don’t dream any more
Because all of a sudden
The life can be gone
And the dream with it

under the X-rays

low chance
bold stance
through the garden of vengeance
where the flowers are withered

früher hat das wünschen auch nicht geholfen

die tage fühlen sich nicht mehr frei
sie kleben aneinander wie kaugummi
keiner will vom anderen ein stück haben
sie wollen eigenständig sein

another day goes by and we walk on

there is a terrible illusion
out there
that comes with the confusion
that there is no chaos

Sonnet #45: Paranoia

Those times are seldom, can’t you see the signs
Illusion tries delusioning our senses
And, God forbid, what contributes this science
Not much can help us to survive but fences

Bitter Sweet Lemon

Trying with reason / Sounds like treason / To the common folk / That is fed with pork

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!
