Profound Moments

beatrizesmer

Sometimes I stand in front of the mirror, tracing the lines and curves of my reflection. My eyes, pools of uncertainty; my mouth, a silent witness; the shape of my forehead, marked by the weight of thoughts; the curve of my eyelids, heavy with dreams unfulfilled; the line of my face, a map of experiences both bitter and sweet. How could this flawed, imperfect visage craft verses that speak to the soul? There must be something more… but what? In the labyrinth of thought, I find myself questioning the very act of questioning. To live, truly live, is to lose … Continue reading Profound Moments

The Visit

beatrizesmer

As I wait for myself, the words come to visit. I search among my verses and fruits for some unwary certainty of me, a distracted truth hidden between the lines of this chaotic life. The pages whisper, and the ink flows, painting the canvas of my thoughts with shades of clarity and confusion. Each line, a brushstroke of my essence, and each stanza, a window to the soul I am yet to fully understand. The journey through my own poetry is a labyrinth of revelations, where the unexpected becomes the familiar, and the familiar, a source of new wonder. In … Continue reading The Visit

Healing Words

beatrizesmer

Somedays, we find ourselves weaving words into poems, each line a tribute to the women who nurtured us, the lovers who held us, and the fathers whose shadows we walk in. These verses become our solace, our way of remembering and honoring the fragments of our lives. Sometimes, our pens become the voice for an entire continent, a collective cry for healing and justice. We write not just for ourselves, but for the countless souls who share our pain, our struggles, and our dreams. In these moments, our words become a balm, a beacon of hope in a world that … Continue reading Healing Words

Reflections on Pain, Love, and Resilience

beatrizesmer

I will write about the pain. I will speak about my wars. Every day isn’t about planting seeds, watering my roots, and waiting for the season when the flowers in my backyard will grow. Some seasons come with battles but remembering that the Universe has already won it all brings relief to my bones. Just like pain, there is joy. There is peace and love attached to my name. Beatriz. Maria. Júlia. Nathália. Isabel. Cristina. Lina. Janete. My name is kindness. I am a lover. I am light. I am the Daughter of stars, so are you! In the quiet … Continue reading Reflections on Pain, Love, and Resilience

Turbulent Emotions

beatrizesmer

As I navigate this inner landscape, I am both the wanderer and the warrior, grappling with the unseen forces that stir within me. The cacophony of my soul is a symphony of contradictions, where joy and sorrow, hope and despair, dance in a delicate balance. Each emotion is a brushstroke on the canvas of my heart, painting a picture that is uniquely mine. In the stillness of the night, when the world is hushed, I can hear the whispers of my soul. They speak of dreams unfulfilled, and desires unspoken, of love lost and found. It is in these moments … Continue reading Turbulent Emotions

Cleansing the Soul

beatrizesmer

Amidst the quietude of a sun-dappled morning, I embarked on a peculiar ritual—a cleansing of the intangible. Armed with metaphorical soap and water, I stood at the threshold of my mind, ready to scrub away the residue of yesteryears. First, the dreams. Those fragile, ephemeral things that once clung to my consciousness like morning dew on petals. I lathered them in suds, watching as they dissolved, swirling down the drain. Plans, too—they slipped through my fingers, leaving only a faint scent of possibility. Next, memories. Some were like old photographs, sepia-toned and faded, while others were vivid and sharp, capable … Continue reading Cleansing the Soul

If I am your child…

beatrizesmer

Please touch me. Persist; find ways to meet my needs. Your touch is the language of love—the silent poetry that bridges the gap between hearts. In your embrace, I discover safety, warmth, and the promise that I am not alone in this vast, uncertain world. Your goodnight hug helps sweeten my dreams. As the day’s shadows lengthen, and the moon tiptoes across the sky, your arms wrap around me like a soft cocoon. In that moment, worries dissolve, and the weight of existence lifts. You whisper, “Rest, my dear,” and I drift into slumber, cradled by your affection. Your daytime … Continue reading If I am your child…

Moonlit Musings: A Prose of Ink

beatrizesmer

Tell me about yourself, you inquire, as if I were a character in a forgotten novel, waiting to step out from between the pages. But I am no protagonist; I am merely a vessel for musings, a wanderer through the constellations of thought. My days—those ephemeral voyages—unfold like ancient maps, their edges frayed by time. I lose myself among the moons of paper, tracing ink rivers that wind through forests of sentences. Each paragraph is a forest clearing, where sunbeams filter through leaves, illuminating forgotten memories. There, I encounter fragments of half-formed dreams—their colors muted, like old photographs left too … Continue reading Moonlit Musings: A Prose of Ink

The Rain’s Cleansing Dance

beatrizesmer

Amidst the quietude of a world waiting, the rain arrives—it needs to get—a gentle whisper at first, tapping on rooftops and windowpanes. It tiptoes across the landscape, tracing the contours of leaves and petals, seeking out the hidden crevices where memories linger. The rain knows its purpose: to cleanse, to unburden, to baptize. The rain will come to wash it all away. It doesn’t discriminate; it falls upon the weary traveler and the steadfast oak alike. It carries stories—the laughter of children, the tears of lovers, the footprints of wanderers. Each drop, a tiny vessel of renewal, holds within it … Continue reading The Rain’s Cleansing Dance

Organizing Life’s Chaos

beatrizesmer

In the quiet solitude of his room, he meticulously arranged his life. Books found their place on shelves, each spine a testament to the stories he cherished. Clothes and shoes were neatly tucked away in closets, a semblance of order amidst the chaos. Cutlery and dishes were carefully stacked, symbols of shared meals and silent conversations. His journal, a repository of thoughts and dreams, lay open on the desk, pages filled with the ink of his soul. Time, that elusive entity, was measured and compartmentalized, each moment accounted for. Anxiety and love, those twin forces, were given their own spaces, … Continue reading Organizing Life’s Chaos
