Yell At Me But Be Alive

There is a forest
There is a girl
There is the night
There is darkness

thirteen seconds to die

it’s too late again
he lived his life
but before he’s gone
there’s something left to do

I’d like to keep it short but I need to get this out of my mind to stay sane

did you get the news today?
are you sure that what you’ve got really happened?
or is it just part of reality

Sonnet #11: Zombies

It’s just another home he passed at night
The inner circle moves behind the curtain
He might have been the witness of a fight
But being drunk he sure was all but certain

HOLLOW SOCIETY

It always starts with love within our hearts
The sorting of the burdens dims the lights
From right to left we’re shuffling all the cards
And hope something remains that souls ignites

Collecting Garbage

endless rivers feeling guilty
all the garbage on their shores
running forward never turn
memories against their corps

Addicted

When I beat my wife
Because I hate my life
When I enjoy the assault
Then it’s not my fault

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!
