Alchera #37: Immaculate



Free-write on this: The perfect man/woman.


You came into my life like any other human being. There is nothing peculiar about our first encounter, there is nothing written on the way you looked that day, how you spoke or didn't speak, what I first thought of you. You were supposed to be one more ghost in a sea of blurred faces.

But you stayed, and slowly, you became solid. Something struck me when we talked, and every time fate reunited us there was more I wanted to keep in my head, more from you... You, ghost, you, drop in the ocean, how did you make me realize you were a new world I wanted to get lost in!

How beautiful it is to picture you.

I think of your blunders, the way you pronounce certain words, your scars, the faces you make at certain occcasions... All these things which are to be totally ignored or be bothered with, they make you perfect. Memories of trouble and subtle happiness together, your voice, your accent, your handwriting, your likes and dislikes, they flow into my brain like loud raindrops and make me long for you. There is nothing fancy about the things that bind us.

It's the details which make you human. It's the details which stain the white napkin of your unexplored eyes. And those stains merge into the brightest of colors, into an unbelievable purity. I yearn for your imperfection, my perfect man, for no matter how much I point at your moles with my finger, all I will be able to see is the smoothness of your immaculate self.

Alchera #36: Un Monde Parfait



If I could change the world to a perfect world...

I think we've done something similar to this in the past--what you would change about the world today to make it a better place, blah blah blah. Instead of going that route, I'm going to ask you to be a little selfish. If you could change the world just for you, what would it be like? Don't think about anyone other than yourself. What would you want the world to be like for you?



  • This world would be entirely peaceful, of course.
  • People could travel anywhere they wanted (no visa required)
  • Good food wouldn't make you fat (or at least it would be cooked in a healthier way which wouldn't alter its flavor)
  • There wouldn't be poverty at all
  • There wouldn't be any stupid people
  • There would be no need to look like someone else to be pretty (anyone could be a model, no need to be a waif to be considered pretty)
  • There would be no racism nor xenophobia
  • Africa wouldn't be regarded just as such, but each country would be recognized as an individual state
  • African countries would be developed, with no hunger problems
  • Charly Garcia (Argentinian singer) wouldn't be regarded as a music god
  • History would not be centered in Europe, but World History would really be World History
  • John Lennon and George Harrison wouldn't be dead, and the Beatles would still be playing
  • All sorts of fruits would be available anywhere in the world
  • Sushi would be cheap even out of Japan
  • There would be no environmental problems
The list may grow, I suppose.
