Private Matter

in a blink of time
no hurry
there is enough space for your crime
and for the coming months

coming into life for trouble

just a little bit of excitement
is the reason to be alive
still searching for the other one
the peace after the hurricane

Times Of Trouble Without a Plan

In times of trouble we seldom see who we’re used to be
We only live from day to day we can only pray
And gain nothing from it except for existing in a fantasy world

Sonnet #47: Confusion

We want the cooler air in hottest places
Because the breathing trouble torture us
When hardest raindrops meet the softer faces
The weather may behave like treasonous

Trouble Ahead

It’s still early February
But I can already sense the heat coming
The heat from all global spaces
It is the cold eye of the storm humanity faces

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!
