and the river fell through darkness into light

tell me about your reason to move
you could stay at home your whole life
sometimes I wonder

back from here over the moon

running along the river bank
far from where i started
not far enough to overturn
my mindset towards fame

what the rivers tell

don’t come closer
we’re far from here
and are gone
as soon as we crossed paths

© Dominik Alexander / 2024

once upon a time the surface of the moon was an endless sea

without fears
they broke in
they broke out
in tears

Sonnet #48: Opinion

You want to hear my honest reason straight
Before you sail away to foreign shores
We travel down the river which is great
To listen about chances and closed doors

The Cherry Tree

There hangs a memory about fifth of January
Above the cherry tree of my imagination

Collecting Garbage

endless rivers feeling guilty
all the garbage on their shores
running forward never turn
memories against their corps

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!
