Making it Real

Making it real
Breaking the seal
Leaving the day go
Keeping my thoughts grow

Sitting Patiently To Listen

I didn’t know
What decision I should make
After the trial

Sonnet #82: Sonnambula

But people never see the midnight sun
They choose to sleep with sorrow dreams instead
At first they always think it might be fun
Sonnambula is keen to think ahead

Waking Up From a Daydream

there lies a nightmare by the sea
that spreads into eternity
rivers grow and words collide
what’s there on the other side?

Method In Madness

There is a crime scene
There is a stage
There is a mirror
There is a cage

The Distance Arrives

this day gets longer
I slept twice
I’m still sleepy
being in a nightmare

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!
