Sonnet #89: Fire

His fire burns a hole inside our hearts
The light goes out and never goes back on
The memories remain when someone parts
There is no greater cause we all reckon

Rule This Place

Tear dropping
Face stopping
To move forward
To the hopes

right in the wrong

there can be something right
in something that seems wrong
if your thoughts only belong
to your mind

© Dominik Alexander / 2025

easy is a second chance

teardrops won’t last
sometimes they never reach
the bottom line of fear
hear hear

Sweating Out My Anger

The political scene is boiling over
Weather does its best
To keep up with the moods on the streets

Sonnet #59: Dogmatics

The clouds roll out emotions left in space
My cemetery walk accepts dark matters
Some people leave their life without a trace
The church is more concerned about dogmatics

© 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

Burning Memory

Simply leave the curtain down
He said
Tearfully
Then wiped his eyes

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!
