Chronicles of the Soul

My soul is a weathered manuscript, its pages etched by the gusts of wind that sweep through my existence. Each breeze carries whispers of forgotten moments, inscribing them upon the parchment of my being. Burnt tastebuds tell tales of hastily sipped coffee, scalding my tongue as I grapple with life’s complexities.

Memories

It was a dream, a distant memory that lingered in the recesses of my mind. A time of long waits and holidays spent without the warmth of affection. But none of that mattered, because we had each other. We found solace in our childhood games, creating a world of our own where love and laughter filled the air. Balmy summer nights were spent under the stars, the sweet scent of mandarin peels wafting through the air. The sound of music drifted from the neighbor’s house, the familiar tunes of The Beatles filling our hearts with joy. I can still see … Continue reading Memories

Sweet Memories …

As a child, I saw the deep blue ocean, its vastness stretching beyond my young imagination. I felt the sand beneath my feet, warm and comforting, as if nature itself was embracing me. I watched the white-capped waves dancing, like crabs upon the beach, their rhythm hypnotic and soothing. I grew up and fell in love in the redwood forest, seduced by the sunlight which filtered in, but the climbing vines and deep-set shadows made me feel it was a sin. I climbed a mount in Congonhas city, touched the shining, silver clouds, feeling the weight of the world lift … Continue reading Sweet Memories …

Time, where did you go? Why did you leave me here alone? Wait! Don’t go so fast. I’m missing the moments as they pass.
