BOOKS
Ever since I was little, writing books has been my dream. I started many but finished few. And those few never saw the (publishing) light of day. I usually gave up after around 40 pages and I can barely look at my old work anymore. I might upload something from my teenage years one day, just to give you an idea. Or not.
Then I tried to get a poem collection published for a while. The idea was to combine my writing with pictures from as many different contributors as possible … but that didn’t really work out either. So no books yet. Sorry.
Song adaptations
Translating songs into a different language (in my case either German or English) is quite a challenge. But it is great fun too! Finding the right words and rhymes to make it sound good while still preserving the meaning and feel of the original song – in a way it’s like a puzzle. I like it.
I’ve been interested in this field of work for several years now, and I’ve managed to create a few good translations (or rather adaptations). Here’s a selection:
If you want me to write an adaptation of your own work or your favorite song, feel free to contact me!
Subtitles
Subtitling is an area that I haven’t really found the time to get into yet. I’ve written the official German subtitles for some of Chris Thompson’s (supricky06) videos on YouTube a couple of years ago. I’ve also written several German subtitles for Shane Dawson’s old clips, but he never put them online. Too bad!
Other than that, there’s nothing much I could mention in this section. I think audio description might be a really fascinating field of work. Would be fun to try that someday.
If you want me to write your subtitles, feel free to contact me.
Poems
Over the last decade or so, I’ve posted countless short poems on Facebook and/or Twitter whenever I felt like writing. Poetry is what got me most of my Facebook fans. It’s more or less become my main creative focus for a couple of years. Here is an extensive collection of my favorite poems. Reading through all of them might take a while.
You don't see me, do you?
Not for what I am
I would love to screw you
You don't give a damn
Why am I still trying?
You've had time enough
Can't we just stop lying?
I won't gain your love
Be happy with yourself, they say
But what is happiness?
For some it's easy every day
But others are a mess
What makes us happy? Who can tell?
We're different, you see?
The thing that works for you so well
It doesn't work for me
I'm happy when I care for you
Support you, make you smile
I'm best when I am there for you
And make life worth your while
I'm happy when I fuck you good
Or hold you tenderly
When I'm the best man that I could
That's when I'm really me
When I surprise you with a gift
With flowers or a ring
When I make sure you are a queen
That's when I am a king
When I can help you chase your dreams
And be your favorite you
No matter how damn hard it seems
I'll do what I can do
I'm happy when we share this life
In darkness, rain or heat
When you're my best friend and my wife
That's when I am complete
Without this I am just a ghost
My worst self, on my own
So how the fuck am I supposed
To do this shit alone?
He throws me down and feasts on me
He doesn't ask permission
I could just push him off, be free
Against my intuition
He kisses both my thighs and clit
His lips are warm and tender
I press against his mouth
And quit resisting
I surrender
A home without mirrors
The slightest of chances
To live with yourself
No pitiful glances
One quickest appearance
Destroys what you're faking
Resemblance of health
Beside all the aching
It hurts how you don't want me
Back then you said you did
The words you said, they taunt me
How much, I won't admit
It sucks that you won't fuck me
My luck is running out
If I was ever lucky
If that's what we're about
