sad is my new angry

follow me through the park
at night of course
when the stars are sinking
they fall through my mind

g r o w i n g

embrace the unknown
let your spirit be shown
emerge from the storm
your heart keeps you warm

there is a different time zone outside of your brain

those are the times ahead
might people say who fear the worst
do something different instead

through the gates i see my wisdom grow

you have to be patient with yourself
says my Sunday and smiles at me
there might have been a day
where you have been more productive

Make it simple

If it’s getting worse, make it simple
Lead yourself to a space that is safe
Can be your mind
Or some kind of road

When We Fall / Wenn wir fallen

When we fall, we collect all the tiny pieces that we’ve lost on our way up.
Wenn wir fallen, sammeln wir alle kleinen Dinge ein, die wir auf dem Weg nach oben verloren haben.

mantra for a healthy life

dream on
for a life of your own
keep yourself strong
in your mind

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!
