back from here over the moon

running along the river bank
far from where i started
not far enough to overturn
my mindset towards fame

All the Laurels To the Fool

and the water is crawling deep under his skin
and the sun is burning leafs to ashes
and the storm is howling in both of his ears

what the rivers tell

don’t come closer
we’re far from here
and are gone
as soon as we crossed paths

After the Sunset

after the sunset the grass turns blue
after the sunset nothing is more true
than your hidden face on a pillow lake
and more false than a social media fake

© Dominik Alexander / 2024

there is a night sky and it seems shifted

on a trip to the shore
frightened to the core
binge-watching the whales
measuring the scales

Emotions Fly

emotions fly
south of the Pacific
dip into the water
stay with the fish

Waiting For Water

I’m waiting for water / Like others wait for Godot
We’re sailing the river / Like others enjoy the show

Bon homme Richard

The fruits of tomorrow are already planted
Here and there I can see the fresh air dwelling
And some boys are selling

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!
