Youth on the Phone

How do they meet each other
How do they know
The other’s personality
How do they show

Und nach uns das kurze Leben

Der Pol der Erde hat sich längst verschoben. Vom realen Dasein in der Welt ins Digitale. Sind diese selbstdarstellerischen Fotos im Instagram-Account überhaupt echt?

Wogegen wir sind, macht uns nicht aus

Schlimm genug, dass wir uns mittlerweile wieder vehement gegen Faschismus, Rechtskadikalismus und Antisemitismus einsetzen müssen. Obwohl das doch selbstverständlich sein sollte.

Die Sprache, die ich meine, ist ein Spinnennetz, das sanft im Winde weht

Wer nachts in den Himmel schaut, sieht dort mehr Augen als in den Straßenbahnen zum Berufsverkehr.

Miracles Make Me Wonder

Ablenkungsfrei in den Schreibrausch
In Bausch und Bogen versuchen
Gerade nicht unterzugehen.

Sonnet #41: Gefallen

Er ist gefallen aus dem Strom der Zeit
Gefallen uns die ander’n Menschen nicht
Sind hohe Hürden keine Kleinigkeit
Dann fährt hier keine Seele mehr auf Sicht

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!
