The Birth of Art in Adversity

beatrizesmer

Art, my dear, is not a privilege bestowed upon the fortunate, nurtured in the cradle of affluence, nor is it the offspring of tender mothers and doting fathers. It is the phoenix that rises from the ashes of hardship, birthed in the narrow lanes of ghettos, in the heart of favelas, amidst the stark nakedness of poverty. Art does not discriminate. It does not segregate based on the color of one’s skin, the race they belong to, or the creed they adhere to. It is a generous spirit, a universal language that speaks to all, transcending man-made boundaries and biases. … Continue reading The Birth of Art in Adversity

A Simple Reminder

beatrizesmer

Deep in your soul, you’ll discover a truth that’s as profound as it is simple: you are your own sanctuary. Yes, you can seek solace in the warmth of another’s embrace, intertwine your fingers with theirs, but the echo of loneliness cannot be silenced by mere physical presence. An empty house remains empty, no matter how many guests you invite, if the owner never returns. Sometimes, the hero of your story is you. There will be mornings when you’ll rise from your bed, your heart heavy as a stone sinking into the ocean’s depths. Yet, your legs will not falter, … Continue reading A Simple Reminder

Tears…

beatrizesmer

Tears that streamed down my cheeks and vanished abruptly on my lips. I wept for the first time in my youth, on the initial day of detachment from beloved ones, in my teenage years, for the first love’s deceit… for the initial blemish on my face. Subsequently, I refined my weeping. I shed tears for hatred, disillusionment, disappointment, despair, agony, fear, and yearning! I also chuckled, enchanted, and elated. I wept out of loathing for those who mercilessly perpetrate atrocities against our kin. I sobbed in disillusionment and disappointment at those who maliciously betrayed my trust and all the love … Continue reading Tears…

The Bridge of Laughter and Tears

beatrizesmer

In the quiet hours of our shared existence, we dream of a bridge—a fragile span woven from laughter and tears. It is not a bridge of stone or steel, but of ephemeral moments that bind us. One day, we will laugh until our bellies ache, our eyes crinkling at the corners. Our laughter will echo across the chasm, filling the void with joy. We’ll share secrets, silly jokes, and memories—the kind that linger like the scent of rain on warm earth. And then, when the world turns somber, we’ll cry. Not the quiet tears of solitude, but the kind that … Continue reading The Bridge of Laughter and Tears

The Imprints of Human Connection

beatrizesmer

I want to write about the language of touch, the silent conversations held in the clasp of hands, the secrets whispered through fingertips. I want to write about the way a mother’s hand can soothe a child, the way a lover’s touch can ignite a spark, the way a friend’s comforting pat can ease a burden. I want to write about the domestic dance of marriage, the rhythm of routine, the melody of shared moments. I want to explore the growing void that can creep into the most intimate of spaces, the separate beds in a shared room, the unspoken … Continue reading The Imprints of Human Connection

The Dance of Seasons

beatrizesmer

I am changing, a perpetual metamorphosis. Like a leaf caught in the whims of time, I twirl through the seasons. Each turn brings a new hue, a fresh face to the world. In spring, I unfurl like a tender bud, reaching for the sun. My veins pulse with life, and I wear the green cloak of hope. The air smells of possibility, and I sway with the breeze, eager to embrace the warmth. Summer arrives, and I bask in the golden glory. My edges crisp, kissed by the sun’s fiery lips. I am vibrant, alive, and my laughter rustles through … Continue reading The Dance of Seasons

The Odyssey of Becoming

beatrizesmer

Lovable, a foreign concept until now, whispered through the winds of change. It danced around me, an elusive waltz, until I dared to embrace its rhythm. I dared you to count the limitless ways I died and was born again. Each death a closing chapter, each rebirth a blank page filled with the ink of possibility. I threw tantrums, the universe my witness, as I shattered the cocoon of my former self. I gnawed and scratched my way out of myself to grow, to adapt to my potential. My cries were not of despair but of determination, echoing across the … Continue reading The Odyssey of Becoming

Colors Unseen

beatrizesmer

In the fabric of humanity, a unique lineage exists, woven with threads of brownish cinnamon. It wraps around the being like a second skin, a testament to the earth from which it came. This skin, a canvas of soft earthen hues, speaks of a heritage rich and deep, a blend of spice and strength, warmth, and resilience. The eyes, darkish brown orbs, are like twin moons in the nocturnal sky, glowing with an inner light that guides through the darkness. They are not just windows to the soul but beacons, illuminating the path for those lost in the night. They … Continue reading Colors Unseen

Roots of Love

beatrizesmer

We shall grow together, entwined like ancient roots, our souls seeking solace in the fertile soil of shared dreams. Your roots connect with mine, weaving a tapestry of life, each thread a testament to our union. Pour into me, my love, like the gentle rain that kisses thirsty earth. Be my chlorophyll, infusing me with vitality, so when the light of truth illuminates our hidden corners, the grass will be greener on this side of love. I long to be your leaves, fluttering in the breeze of your kiss. Each touch, a whispered promise of eternity. And when the storm … Continue reading Roots of Love

The Gallery of My Life

beatrizesmer

In the chaotic center of my being, I hold a world unseen. It’s a tangle of thoughts, full of light and shadow, a duality that dances in silence. Yet, when I stand before you, I unfold only the brightest fragments, the simplest joys, and the gentlest whispers of my spirit. These I lay in your hands—feathers of my essence, light enough not to burden your soul, warm enough to be held with care. I do not speak of the storms that rage within, the torrents of doubt that erode the shores of certainty. For you, I reserve the calm after … Continue reading The Gallery of My Life
