Hunger

beatrizesmer

Dizziness from hunger is a cruel and relentless foe, far more insidious than the fleeting effects of alcohol. The disorienting waves of lightheadedness that crash over us when our bodies cry out for sustenance are not easily dismissed. They gnaw at our very core, leaving us weak and trembling in their wake. Unlike the carefree and jovial dizziness induced by alcohol, hunger-induced dizziness is a stark reminder of our primal need for nourishment. It is a reminder that we are not invincible, that we are bound by the limitations of our physical bodies. It is a reminder that we are … Continue reading Hunger

Curtains

beatrizesmer

As breathless curtains stir in the gentle breeze, the melodies of the singing tree fill the air with a symphony of nature’s song. The smell of old rain lingers, a reminder of past storms that have washed away the worries of yesterday. I drift, carried away on a raft made of yesterdays, floating effortlessly on the sea of memories. My mind wanders, lost in dreams of what once was and what could be. The world around me fades away as I surrender to the tranquility of the moment. The waves gently rock me, lulling me into a state of pure … Continue reading Curtains

Dance of life

In the delicate dance of existence, I am the essence of life encapsulated in this finite form. Within these modest confines, my purpose unfolds through the harmonious interplay of speaking and listening. Every gesture, every heartbeat, resonates with the profound symphony of love woven into my very being, entwined with flesh and bones. I am the embodiment of humanity’s daring spirit, embracing the inevitability of mistakes and sins, yet standing resolute in the face of adversity. Like the ever-changing phases of the moon, I too experience moments of fullness, brimming with a love that defines me, reflected in the myriad … Continue reading Dance of life

Tell me Life …

beatrizesmer

Tell me, Life, how to escape the clutches of my own existence. Release me from this torment that consumes me with every passing moment. Sever the ties that bind me to you, Life. Transform me into something other than myself; a blissful state of unawareness, where I am free from the burdens of consciousness. Let me drift into the void, where I am shielded from the sorrow that has enveloped me. Erase my identity, but do not leave me adrift in this half-formed state. Grant me the simplicity of stones, the purity of animals, the distance of stars, or the … Continue reading Tell me Life …

Piano

beatrizesmer

Tell me, as wild as the wind that carries the haunting melody of the rapturous piano, can I ever dance again to the savage rhythm of this humanity song? The passages written along the castle walls tell of a love lost, a memory etched in the whispers of the wind. I listen to the notes coming unbound, soft, and tragic, flowing like an unfettered flag in the breeze. This thought, though it may be my last, is important to me. I long to be human once again, to feel the warmth of connection and love in this skin that feels … Continue reading Piano

Divine in me

beatrizesmer

In my search for the Divine, I traveled far and wide, visiting temples adorned with intricate carvings, churches filled with the sound of hymns, and mosques echoing with the call to prayer. But it was not until I turned my gaze inward, towards the depths of my own being, that I truly found what I was seeking. For in the quiet sanctuary of my heart, I discovered a sacred space untouched by the trappings of religion or the constraints of tradition. Here, in the stillness of my soul, I felt the presence of something greater than myself, a force that … Continue reading Divine in me

Memories of my childhood

beatrizesmer

To remember my childhood is to delve into a treasure trove of emotions, a symphony of sights, smells, and sounds that shaped the very core of who I am today. It is not merely a recollection of events or facts; it is a journey through dreams, fears, and insecurities that still linger in the deepest corners of my soul. I recall the simple joys of playing soccer with my brothers and friends, the familiar scents of my mother’s cooking filling our humble home. The aroma of garlic sizzling in hot oil, the fragrance of flowers in the yard, the misty … Continue reading Memories of my childhood

What do you need?

beatrizesmer

He asked me what I needed, and I whispered softly, “Peace.” For too long, turmoil has raged within me, a never-ending civil war that has left me weary and worn. But in his gentle inquiry, I found a glimmer of hope, a chance for solace in the chaos. As I journey through life’s winding path, I yearn for the simplicity of a fulfilled existence. To understand the rhythm of the march, to embrace each day with the innocence of a child at play. Like an old farmer tending to his cattle, I seek to find peace in the gentle strum … Continue reading What do you need?

Ocean

beatrizesmer

I will make my bed in the ocean, where the waves caress me like a lover’s touch. It is a demonstration of helplessness, surrendering to the vast expanse of water that surrounds me. I offer my salt as sacrifice, knowing that growth is a daily practice, a journey of self-discovery and transformation. I am learning what it means to be a grain of sand, insignificant yet essential to the beauty of the beach. I spell out homonyms for love, words that hold different meanings but all lead back to the same feeling of connection and warmth. Like a song for … Continue reading Ocean
