oxygen – Scriptorium '77

Killing Grundstraße

early morning
dark sunglasses
warm breeze
still traffic

breaking the chains. revolution express

there are holidays
the trains are crowded
but no-one shouted:
GIVE US MORE!!!

Parallelwelt. Einhundert Jahre später

Nehmen Sie die Realität an, denn es gibt kein Paralleluniversum, in das Sie über kurz oder lang werden flüchten können.

Sturmanklage

Viele Leute können nur klagen
Ohne zu wagen
Sie scheuen das Feuer
Und das Abenteuer

Freedom Like a Hurricane

Had to write for work
It lasted longer than planned
Of course it did
So I needed fresh air

Train To Oblivion / Zug ins Vergessen

Riding the train to oblivion
The land of the trapped without oxygen

follow me

The sound of sand and dust
Walking
Not talking
Because

Seven Haiku: February 2021, part I

The hair grows too fast
Tell me about yesterday
The whispers might last.

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!
