Die Heimkehr

Die Schafgarbe röchelt
Der Wind brandet auf
Die Blätter fliegen
Von mir fort

Nachts im Süden der Stadt

Nun sitze ich hier und kann nicht weg
In einer Halle ohne jeden Fleck
Dafür Lachen und Schlieren

Starkregen

Plötzlich brechen sie herein
Millionen Regentropfen
Lassen sich fallen

Herbstblues

Schon wieder seh ich einen Tag im Abendrot verglühen
Ich hab versucht, es aufzuhalten überm Horizont
Hab mich doch noch vor wenigen Wochen zu dieser Zeit
In seiner purpurfabnen Pracht gesonnt

Kalter Kaffee

Das Wummern geht schon wieder los
Draußen vor der Tür
Steht kein Heimkehrer
Sondern rennen die Verschwörer

Stecknadeln in meinem Kopf

Am Morgen schon sehne ich mich
Nach der Dusche am Abend
Und habe doch nur das Bad

Sonnet #17: Geisttheater

Nur schemenhaft die fliehenden Gedanken
Ein spitzes Antlitz schiebt sich durch die Nacht
Es folgt dem dumpfen Ruf der Karawanken
Die kalkweiß thronen abseits mit Bedacht

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!
