under the X-rays

low chance
bold stance
through the garden of vengeance
where the flowers are withered

Das Seufzen der toten Küken

Zuerst habe ich an den Bodennebel draußen vor dem Fenster gedacht, der so plötzlich dagewesen war, dass ich glaubte, vor einer Minute noch den blauen Himmel gesehen zu haben.

frantic and insane

there is a hurricane in my mind
it needs calming
does it?
or is it better to let it out at night

dead poets want to be rescued

do you want to have fun
keep it to yourself; don’t run
with the crowd

© Dominik Alexander / 2024

get it done and leave me speechless

always forward
looking back no more
there is another corner
and you are gone

Velvet Ecstasy

In twilight’s embrace, where shadows dance
Amidst the sighs of a mournful trance
Where dreams dissolve in a misty haze
And reality blurs in a cryptic maze

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!
