vision – Scriptorium '77

in a moment

there is something different
there is a cold
the brain can barely hold
in a moment of clarity

once upon a time the surface of the moon was an endless sea

without fears
they broke in
they broke out
in tears

Halfway to Siberia

suddenly there was Summer
and it won’t go away anymore
it’s weather outside
but I’d like to stay in

Quixotic Soliloquy

In my dreams I’m always riding along the waving shores
The water tastes salty on my lips and makes me shiver

Sonnet #22: Storm

It is a dry, not wet, but stormy day
Between the eyes my vision searches light
What cannot be, I cannot see nor say
And for vague knowledge I miss all my sight

looking through shattered glass

looking through
what once was clear
no broken front
before my vision

White Horses Deity

I’m surfing on the edge of time / Holy waters making way
Leavin circles on the beach / Forming white absurdities.

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!
