My Shadow Knows Me Better Than I

Struggling to fit in
Never too thin
Never too fat
Wait a moment

emotionless
is what i feel right now
as if the shadow of
the sword of damocles

Leave Me Now and Come Back Later

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

there is a key to everything but it takes time

sometimes on the road
there is a street among highways
one path along
where only grass belongs

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

another day goes by and we walk on

there is a terrible illusion
out there
that comes with the confusion
that there is no chaos

Are You Coming? / Kommst du?

Cause in the distance there is nothing but the sea / Billions of years fall into a tree / The stars shine down on all of us / House an infinite grave and thus

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!
