WEAK end

it’s saturday
and what a day it was
on the verge of excitement
barely

Walking the Red Line

Always on the edge
I’m walking like a le(d)g
End this day in tears

Dead But Dangerous

The written word is useless
Without the power of making waves
Creating storms
Influencing people in a way

Tell Me Again That You Love Living

Into a storm we flee
Where we can breathe no more
The dead bodies collide
Where they keep living

close this book

tell me again
there is a paradise
up there

Just One Side Of the Story

We listen to each other
no more —
Fantasy is the key ability
of reason —

Sonnet #4: Calm

We’re seldom moving backwards thinking into space
Those peaceful drifting feelings standing still in time
When softly running tears across your lying face
You’ve always told to nightingales I was your prime

The Final Solution Is a Death Cheating Thief

The final solution is near
Raindrops on the rooftop
And the sky remains clear
No single cloud to hide.

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!
