Sonnet #86: Liberation

The day of liberation makes me smile
Because I’m using sickness for a cause
Another one feels free to go for trial
But being free is dangerous, of course

Eighty Years Later

it’s eighty years
eighty years already
TIME FOR A NEW WAR

the fragrance stays. longer

he left unspoken when he went
they smell his scent
diminishing

Sonnet #14: Uneven

The ghosts of past are spreading wings of fire
They share their waste along the burning shore
We leave them there to keep each other dire
Because insane like us we wanted more

Gargoyles

The gargoyles roam this place
To meet another face
To face
Fate maybe?

Trier

This life is one of the hardest
My brother used to say
Yesterday you had a past to remember
Today your future was taken away

Lamento Mori

Oh, magnitude of liberty
Cruel imagined safety
In our hearts:

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!
