Die Flamme und das Sandkorn

Eine Flamme zeigt sich auf weitem Feld
Erst als Idee
In eines Menschen Vorstellung

Sonnet #64: Phases

There is a certain time for everything
But when the cruel clock is ticking backwards
When fancy makes the noise of cloud ka-ching
There’s hardly anything for kind rewards

Den of Iniquity

for lingering lights / at lusting midnight
when animals eerie / enter the silver

Zum Ende der Komödie

Einen Film sehen, ohne zu verstehen
In ein Theaterstück gehen und zuvor nicht wissen, was gespielt wird
Was wird mir da geboten
Ist das in irgendeiner Weise verboten?

Another Time. Another Place

Something went wrong
I’m back again
Back from the dead
Back in the circle

Großstadtserenade

Blätterrascheln im Frühlingswind / Großstadtmoloch, ächzend, stöhnend
Das Welttheater geht zugrunde / Zu dieser lauen Morgenstunde.

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!
