Celebrating the beauty of dark skin

beatrizesmer

Skin so dark, oh geez! Screams a few ‘Hallelujah! Be proud of your skin color! In this tumultuous humanity, every shade is a brushstroke of genius, a testament to diversity’s splendor. Dark skin, a canvas rich and profound, holds the mysteries of the cosmos, the depth of the earth, and the resilience of history within its melanin-kissed hues. Oh, how it glistens under the sun’s adoring gaze, a spectrum of ebony, mahogany, and umber, each tone a verse in the poetry of pigmentation. It speaks of strength, of roots deeply entrenched, of a heritage unyielding and proud. Let the chorus … Continue reading Celebrating the beauty of dark skin

Walking in another’s shoes …

beatrizesmer

What must one do to thrive in a realm so different from their own? Is it enough to sit back, inhale deeply, and let the smoke carry away the coherent thoughts, leaving behind only the abstract musings of the night? Or is it to wander the desolate sands, where the only touch is that of a bullet’s kiss, or to endure the symphony of an infant’s cries that pierce the silence of the early hours? What fabric weaves the essence of you and me? If I step outside these walls that echo with the incessant call of ‘mom’, if I … Continue reading Walking in another’s shoes …

30 minutes …

beatrizesmer

In the fleeting half-hour before the world calls again, I ponder—can the essence of life be unraveled in less time than it takes for the clock to complete its cycle? Perhaps not, but the quest is not without merit. Life, in its boundless forms, from the humble dog to the majestic giant squid, from the goldfish’s silent swim to the birds’ dawn chorus, and even the magnolia buds, poised in slumber—each a thread in the tapestry of existence. It’s all life, isn’t it? A complex web, yet at its core, startlingly simple. So here I sit, with twenty-six minutes on … Continue reading 30 minutes …

Canvas of Emotions

beatrizesmer

Haven’t you ever wanted to be able to capture the raw emotion you feel when you’re depressed, petrified, elated, or in love? To have the complex ability to convey those feelings smoothly with ink, lead, or paint onto a blank piece of paper, acting as your canvas? In moments of deep solidarity, we become acutely aware of these feelings—those elusive, untranslatable emotions that defy the limits of language. They grip us tightly, like the weight of forgotten regrets and the ache of past mistakes. Tears well up, revealing only a hint of the complexity of sadness within. And then there’s … Continue reading Canvas of Emotions

“You Are So Much More”

beatrizesmer

Your body, a symphony of stardust and ancient echoes, echoes the fierce grace of lionesses. The same cosmic forge that shaped their sinew and fire courses through your veins. You are kin to the wild, a whisper of wilderness woven into flesh. Three-quarters water, you flow like rivers—relentless, carving canyons in the bedrock of existence. Your tears, saltwater streams, sculpted mountains, and valleys. Each drop, a testament to resilience, a hymn sung by the tides. In the helix dance of your DNA, wolf genes howl. Twenty amino acids, the alphabet of life, spell out your existence. You are the poetry … Continue reading “You Are So Much More”

Dreams for Rent

beatrizesmer

In the quiet corners of existence, I rent dreams. Fragile and ephemeral, they arrive like whispered secrets, carried on the wings of moonlight. Each dream, a delicate vessel, holds within it the promise of possibility. Life’s Fragments Together, they gather the fragments of life—the laughter shared over morning coffee, the tears shed in solitude, the fleeting touch of a loved one’s hand. These dreams are custodians of memories, keepers of moments that slip through our fingers like fine sand. Seedlings of Faith And there, nestled within their ethereal folds, lie seedlings of faith. Tiny, resilient, they take root in the … Continue reading Dreams for Rent

The Inaccuracy of Us

beatrizesmer

There are no ready-made scripts, only characters and improvised dialogues of our ups and downs. A love that blooms unexpectedly, or one that teeters on the edge of ceasing. No necessary paths, just those that serve us and those that do not. No right door, only those that swing open and those that remain stubbornly shut. Sometimes, the best choice is not to choose at all. The most profound answer may be silence—a quiet surrender to the vastness of existence. And the cure that heals us, paradoxically, lies in feeling hurt. To live fully, we must embrace the possibility of … Continue reading The Inaccuracy of Us

Whispers of Abril

beatrizesmer

Happy Abril! Within the quiet walls of my hermitage, I find solace. Every wind that brushes against my window, every delicate flower that blooms in my garden, they all whisper poetry to my soul. Love, once a warm flame, has transformed into a bittersweet ache. Another love, lost to the relentless march of time, lingers like a fading melody. No one else resides here—only the echoes of memories and the shadows of what was. The walls of my mind, sturdy and unyielding, insist that happiness lies within these familiar confines. They tell me love is not essential for survival, that … Continue reading Whispers of Abril

“The Noble Foot and the Veil of Beauty”

beatrizesmer

In the quiet chambers of existence, where whispers of truth echo through the corridors of perception, there resides a question—an inquiry that pierces the veil of convention and dances upon the edge of revelation. What spirit, pray tell, is so empty and blind that it cannot recognize the silent wisdom woven into the fabric of our being? For behold, the foot—the humble traveler of dust and dew—is more noble than the shoe that cradles it. It bears the weight of countless journeys, imprinting the earth with tales of pilgrimage and wanderlust. The shoe, a mere vessel, bows in reverence to … Continue reading “The Noble Foot and the Veil of Beauty”

Beauty’s Touch

beatrizesmer

In the tender years of my youth, beauty’s touch caused my heart to ascend, akin to the noble eagles’ flight above the regal peaks. Vitality coursed through my veins, and I embraced liberty, discovering a fervor for the boundless wild. Amidst the daffodils’ dance, I spread my arms, wings in spirit, and soared across the mind’s vast landscapes—over craggy mountains, rolling dales, and the endless shores. With mangos in grasp, amidst leaves of myriad forms, I hearkened to the avian songs that wafted through the vernal zephyrs. For timeless hours, I’d repose in the verdant blades, gazing skyward at the … Continue reading Beauty’s Touch
