Youth on the Phone

How do they meet each other
How do they know
The other’s personality
How do they show

Generation Crash, the poem

I was happy as a child
the most unhappy as a teenager
most people would agree
and tell me

Roughing Up

This is the place where we are born
Those are the ideas we learn
From relatives and friends
From the streets and from trends

Uncomfortably Numb

The evening comes and the party goes on
The nightmare forgotten, your mind still strong
You feel the rythm, the heartbeat, the waves

Sonnet #38: Störung / Annoyance

Wir fallen ein, wo wir die Ruhe stören
We want to tackle every silent spot
Wir fallen auf mit Gossenslang und Chören
We fall apart but care about it not

Disobedience

Wild we are
And without wings
We live in daydreams
With open eyes

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!
