stars – Scriptorium '77

Lucky Number Four

What a day we have
When the snow is drifting
When the mood is lifting
Carry on

thinking is futile

I’m walking on
Drifting
Only in my thoughts
There is sunshine

there is a night sky and it seems shifted

on a trip to the shore
frightened to the core
binge-watching the whales
measuring the scales

Leave Me Now and Come Back Later

Don’t we live in a universe
Where worlds collide
Everyday?

Fur Enough

It’s fur enough
That they hesitate
I wouldn’t meet myself
Not even with an advocate

w/o

i travel the stars
without my scapegoat face
beyond ongoing wars
i’ll find my place

Solar Eclipse in D Minor

there is a storm before the spectacle temporarily darkens the day
if you watch closely you can see the shadows moving far away

© Dominik Alexander / 2023

for a better chance to exist

assembling the glorious part of the past
when the fences were low
or barely existent
darker senses moving slow

Do As the Stars Say

Sometimes I ask the stars
What do you see?
Are you able to recognise
The essence of the universe

la notte at night

Worüber schreibe ich denn heute Nacht
Soll es Englisch sein or better German
Am liebsten wäre mir: über die grenzenlose night
So I don’t have to waste it twice

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!
