inside the cage

imagine a monastery
new outside
old inside
imagine one tone

do what you like but do it slowly

smooth jazz
let me guess
you’re smoking hot
like me a lot

And then he continued his life

My Soundtrack of Twenty Twenty-Three

I finished 2023 with writing at least one daily piece of text. Most of them were of a poetic style. And a tiny part of them happened to be some kind of lyrics. Here is my soundtrack of 2023.

greensleeves in vain

There’s flickering light
From here to nowhere
Within ten thousand years
The flickering light from here

ἔκστασις

terribly wrong I am not
when I purely forgot
to breathe while listening
to music glistening

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

Something For the Canonball

there is something about art
that is innovative
the first steps
before it’s popular

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!
