Plan – Scriptorium '77

Mit nach innen gerichteter Entschlossenheit

Das Sauwetter blende ich an diesem Vormittag aus. Meine erste Fahrt führte mich von meinem Zuhause weg. Jetzt biege ich auf die lange Gerade des Großen Gartens. Ein gelber Leuchtpunkt im verwaschenen Grün.

Let Me See

While I’m here
Let me guess
Every tear
Is a mess

Planlos durch die Nacht

Entspannt lass ich die Arme sinken
Das Schreibwerk ist für heut’ getan
Zwar ist es nicht sehr viel geworden
So ist es halt, ganz ohne Plan

Deadline

Hey, it’s me
Your worst enemy
I’m right behind you
Are you coming through

© Dominik Alexander / 2023

tell me about this tomorrow again

there is a plan
then reality hits in
we always move on
but leave something behind

Interpolation

With sadness in my heart
Sometimes I can tell
How the roses won’t grow any further
They don’t even know their smell

Another Path To Existence

There is another path
To paradise
With open arms
He takes her in

Wasabi

Ich glaube nicht an Schicksal oder an vorgebahnte Wege. Aber wenn in einer Woche so viele Wege ineinander laufen, glaube ich beinahe daran, dass mir das Universum etwas sagen will.

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!
