The Poet’s Solitude

beatrizesmer

What has made me a poet? Only this: those silent ravings—the tempests that churn within when the world presses too close. Even in the arms of those I have most loved, there blooms an ache—an insatiable hunger for solitude. The desire to escape—to slip through the cracks of existence, to be alone with my thoughts—becomes a beacon. It pulses, immutable, like a distant star. And in that yearning, all becomes uncanny—the familiar streets, the faces, the whispered secrets. I have loved deeply—oh, how I have loved! But love, too, can be a tempest—a wild sea that threatens to engulf the … Continue reading The Poet’s Solitude

Threads of Creation

beatrizesmer

The masterpiece begins with the pencil sketch—a hesitant line on blank paper. It trembles, unsure of its purpose. But within that graphite stroke lies the seed of creation—the spark that will ignite galaxies. The novel, too, emerges from chaos. Its first draft is a tempest—a whirlwind of characters, plot twists, and half-formed sentences. The words stumble over each other, seeking coherence. Yet, within this messiness, stories take root—their roots burrowing deep into the soil of imagination. And the symphony? Ah, it begins with a simple hum—a melody whispered over morning coffee. The composer sips, eyes closed, listening to the notes … Continue reading Threads of Creation

Eternal Tides

beatrizesmer

I thought of love on a rainy day—a canvas of gray where longing dripped from the heavens. The sun, that relentless voyager, sought refuge behind veils of cloud. I wished for its retreat—for eternity—to let the world bask in the melancholy of your presence. You, my dear enigma, were the gloom—the mist that clung to ancient oaks, the fog that whispered secrets. Depth and mystery swirled within you, like hidden galaxies waiting to be explored. On that dull and darkened day, you were the riddle I yearned to unravel. And I? I was the rain—the silent messenger. I fell from … Continue reading Eternal Tides

Whispers of the Unseen

beatrizesmer

In the hallowed corridors of childhood, I discovered secrets—the kind that shimmer like dew-kissed spiderwebs at dawn. My hands, once tangible and solid, would vanish when I least expected. They’d slip through the veil between reality and wonder, leaving me a mere observer in my own tale. And oh, the toys—they harbored mischief. When the room darkened, they stirred, their wooden limbs creaking. Tin soldiers marched, porcelain dolls pirouetted, and plush animals whispered secrets. I’d lie there, eyes wide, watching their silent ballet—a clandestine performance for my eyes alone. Stillness became my ally. If I held my breath, the birds … Continue reading Whispers of the Unseen

Ephemeral Echoes

beatrizesmer

Sometimes, I am gifted fragments of existence—fleeting glimpses that dance before my eyes. These delicate shards of reality, like fireflies in twilight, refuse to fade. They cling to my soul, etching themselves into the tapestry of memory. There exists a place—an ethereal threshold where dreams and waking life intertwine. Perhaps it is real, or perhaps it resides within the secret chambers of my heart. Regardless, I have visited it countless times, tracing its contours with the tender brushstrokes of my imagination. On that porch—a sanctuary of weathered wood—I sit, gazing out over a sun-kissed yard. The sun, a benevolent artist, … Continue reading Ephemeral Echoes

Echoes of Absence

beatrizesmer

There is a disembodied sadness, a phantom ache that lingers in the hollows of memory. It emerges from the chasm between having and not having, a silent lament for what once was and what now eludes our grasp. The presence of touch, once warm and intimate, has been bartered away, replaced by the presence of absence—a void that gnaws at the edges of our souls. How awful it is—the way time unravels our certainties, leaving us with frayed threads of longing. Sundays, those quiet interludes, become vessels for coffee and the art of not opening our eyes wide enough to meet the day’s gaze. We cocoon ourselves in half-slumber, shielding … Continue reading Echoes of Absence

Let me forget my sorrows

beatrizesmer

In the hush of dusk, a plea whispered softly in the breeze, “Untie me…” A yearning, aching melody that echoes through the chambers of the heart. With each step, a delicate dance through the tapestry of seasons, I seek solace in the rustling of autumn leaves, the tender embrace of springtime fields. Each raindrop a caress, a reminder of your touch that lingers on my skin. Words caught in my throat like thorns, suffocating the unsaid truths that beg to be released. My gaze, veiled from the world outside, seeking solace in the shelter of your eyes that hold the … Continue reading Let me forget my sorrows

Mourning…

beatrizesmer

In the intricate dance of life and death, we are confronted with a profound truth – that the ones we kill within ourselves do not truly perish. Death, in all its grandeur, cannot extinguish the essence that resides within us. It may, in its cruelest form, separate us from those we hold dear, but it cannot erase the intricate tapestry of souls interwoven in our lives. The pain we bear stems not from the finality of death, but from the lingering absence it leaves behind. In death, there is no true end, only a poignant farewell, a perpetual void that … Continue reading Mourning…

Tell me

beatrizesmer

Tell me when it gets better, whisper it softly in my ear like a promise of tomorrow’s sunrise. Ask me about the dreamer that died, the one who dared to chase after the stars and got lost in the vast expanse of the universe. Give me a reason to not get comfortable in this skin, to keep pushing against the boundaries that confine me. Show me the silver lining, even if it’s just a faint glimmer in the darkest of nights. Remind me about the goodness in people, the kindness that still lingers in the world despite all the darkness. … Continue reading Tell me

Some souls are thousands of miles away and yet we can hear their hearts beat in us

beatrizesmer

There are souls that resonate with ours in a way that defies physical distance. They may be separated by thousands of miles, oceans, and continents, but their essence lingers within us, pulsating in harmony with our own heartbeat. It is a mystical connection that transcends the limitations of space and time, weaving a bond that is unbreakable and eternal. Their whispers of love, their echoes of laughter, and their silent cries of pain reverberate within the chambers of our soul, creating a symphony of emotions that only the heart can understand. We may not see them with our eyes or … Continue reading Some souls are thousands of miles away and yet we can hear their hearts beat in us
