Four Minutes To Die

Four minutes
I think
There is a lot of time
Still

Into the Night

He told her
I recommend the sinner for a thief
He folded up his sleeve
And went away

A Simple Life

a simple life is also an easy life
there are no questions
just answers

© Dominik Alexander / 2024

the only thing i can think of is sex

the shadow moves
without pausing
or even thinking
it does what it’s told

Who are you?

Who are you?
The question is hanging
Like Damocles’ sword
Above my head

Call the Police

Imagine / You are
A Muslim girl / In a Western European city

Between Midnight and Dawn

She’s always standing at the corner / Between midnight and dawn
Her thoughts are drifting to noon next week / Always to the future

Exhausted

We like to appear / For the everyday drama
And the people / Around us

Scene noir

Lamp light from the other side / Of the street
Seen through the dirty glass / Of my window

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!
