Bitter Sweet Lemon

Trying with reason / Sounds like treason / To the common folk / That is fed with pork

Sonnet #43: Wings

When wings bring freedom to the wingless kind
Then planes might capture souls to torture them
Let loose, set free and try to use your mind
For equal messures equals ibidem

Breaking the Chain. Flooding the Clouds

There can be doubts
When you cruising the clouds
If you want to break free
Take the highway to eternity

Sit Tight and Laugh With the Moon

Sit tight
tight
tight
Be pride

Dreaming. Barely

Wake at five
Just barely
Half sleepy to the door
Slammed it shut

© Dominik Alexander / 2023

join me for the trip of our life

there hangs a shadow
on that rejuvenated meadow
from the tree in the distance
without known substance

New Reality

The new reality is this
The press doesn’t tell what is
But what was said
It doesn’t matter if it’s true

Dreaming At Day With Eyes Open

When you dream yourself back to reality
Forget about your glasses
You don’t need to throw your sharp look into spaqces nobody cares about

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!
