Grant Me Your Smile

Daddy sits in front of you
He’s going through
What he can see
It’s on TV

Here for the last days of the Year

Being here
Not drinking beer
Eating what’s left
In the fridge

meet me on my better days

and the boy met with grace
despite his faster pace
what was left from his place
in the meantime

Forgive Yourself

When it’s Sunday and you’re down
Because nothing worked
And you’re just frown
Forgive yourself

greensleeves in vain

There’s flickering light
From here to nowhere
Within ten thousand years
The flickering light from here

A Melody In Orange and Blue

Capture the light right, she said
demanded almost and lifted her head
full of wool and hair

Separated By Blue

What do you think
When you see this colour
Blue
Well I think

Praha. Karlův most

This world is colourful
I can see you
You’ve sent me a smile
I don’t know you
Does it matter?

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!
