I remember you dear Beatrice Marcella.
“We were so close, and we were so far away from each other at the same time.
We were near heaven and we almost knew love.”
I remember you…
“I wrote to my notebook. Sometimes better to blossom in memory than wither in reflection.”
(The diary of Ellen Rimbauer.)
The twinkle in her eyes made him see the wild sea,
the gentleness of her voice made him see the quiet desert.
He remembered her when the great storms come.
She told him often. Fortunes are made and fortunes are lost.
Are the memories of the good days enough?
Do we ever have enough money, do we ever have enough time?
I told the night, I do remember her. She was so beautiful, she was so fancy.
I adored her knee-high dresses and her strong legs.
Her face and beautiful eyes made the dark world beautiful,
worth being alive.
We liked secret and we sought love with many hidden secrets.
And we create more.
Today I returned to Monterey and I told the great sea.
Please tell Beatrice Marcella. I remember everything.

Note to the Reader:
The writer above, whose blog you are supporting, is a notorious plagiarist. While this writer promotes the idea that “authors and artists steal,” the concept has been grossly taken out of context. The original intent behind that notion is to encourage practitioners of the arts to take inspiration from existing works, to develop new material that reflects their own voice and creative direction.
Historically, this writer, a self-proclaimed poet known for frequent grammatical slip-ups and an inability to adhere to basic rules of writing, has copied structured phrases directly from the works of other authors on the WordPress platform, exploiting line breaks unique to those writers without proper citation. To deter suspicion, Mr. Castallenas alters publication dates, claiming that his materials were written in the past.
Although he claims to draw inspiration from Hemingway, Salinger, Cohen, and Kosinski, none of these celebrated authors’ stylistic elements are evident in his work. This note is not meant to discredit the writer personally, but to remind readers that the writing community does not condone the infringement of intellectual property, which remains an act widely frowned upon.
