Howth

Memories of Howth // the hunger to be there
Cool breeze at the harbour // old bread for the gulls

Flaming Mind

Considerations are done
When finished it should be fun

Waltzing Umbrellas

Willing not to be seen
Sometimes outside while walking
Along the streets under rain
Umbrellas in beautiful colours

Limits Of Life

Back again
Where it all began
Thoughts about sense
Relating suspense

Letter By Letter, Word By Word

words flying by
surrounding my head
then my mind
not separated

Grave Of a Musician

Tomorrow, / It’s gonna be a busy day
It always is; / Monday, it is.

Wise Man and His Fool

The wise man said: / I’m here for a reason
Let me do my work and don’t put treason / Too easily upon my head.

I Might Be Obsessed

I might be obsessed / But I’m not stalking
The man I love / His voice is enough.

I’ve got Lyrics in Mind

I’ve got lyrics in mind / Melodies, incantation
I’m easily confused / By the way they form

Floating Ashore

Floating ashore / And drifting aside
Far from above / And fearful inside.

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!
