if i wasn’t my sunday lazy

let me tell you something
sunday is my day of rest
it’s for the best
i use my brain for something else today

WHIP

whip
wake up head
whack the whale
weary eyes leave shadows on my skin

Wait! Did You Really Call Me a Taxi?

I like it here
With my wisdom in a sphere
Of blue and green
Haven’t you seen

mind on the shelf

they arrive at the hour
of the wolf
howling they are not
they simply forgot

In a Seashell

You say
You’re putting all of your wisdom
Into a nutshell
You try to be precise

On the Street to Everywhere Else

How can we know
Where the places are
The gardens we like to play in
The heavens we like to see?

Blow Me Away

The later the night
The louder the wind howls
I’m feeling like being in a wolf pack

Standing the Heat With Torture

It’s not the bright day I recommend
But the grey day I’d like to extend
With few tasks to finish

Time Without Memory

Time is ticking
Moving backwards
Memories flush
Through a tortured brain

Sonnet #33: Superiority

At dawn we search for brightness on the sky
See fluffy clouds that make the nightmares gone
In need to go to work we wave goodbye
But without breakfast we are prone to yawn

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!
