ELIZABETH ESGUERRA CASTILLO


ELIZABETH ESGUERRA CASTILLO


"WHEN I CAN NO LONGER BREATHE YOU"
(my first new poem this year)
silence permeates the air...
a chilly-like atmosphere envelopes this dark night
with the stars and the valiant moon's light
the ones only illuminating
this maze-like path to nowhere...
you were once a strong presence in my life
made sense to a once weary soul
wrap up in the darkness, alone, and bewildered
an echo whispering sweet nothings to my ears...
when I can no longer breathe you
'tis the time the heart chooses not to feel anymore...
when I can no longer feel the closeness of you
'tis the time the heart chooses to just sleep and wait for eternity...
(to be continued)

WHERE WILL I BE?

I'm living like a hermit
Inside this solitary forest
Where one can find strange creatures
that come perking up to my great surprise.

Some gigantic, some hardly seen
Some serene, yet a disguised beast
Where will I be when tomorrow sets in
When the radiant rays of the sun
Would wake me up from this dream?

A long winding road is ahead of me
Crossroads at the corners of my eye
Where will it finally take me
Maybe to a place where I really want to
Continue living with my long awaited love...

AM I REAL ?

Lost in a tavern far beyond your wildest imagination
Caught up in a glaze twisting and wondering
What could have been if I would turn to a different path
Far away from this maze.

Am I still real for being this uptight over this dilemma
While you are preoccupied with your never-ending drama?
Am I real or am I not? Is this me or just a silly dummy
At times I feel as though I'm out of my own body.

I chose to immerse in this tantamount abyss
Looking at the mirror now I find a total mess
Yes, you 'd utter scary as it may seem
Got my own self to finally redeem.

Am I real for feeling this intensifying longing
This upturns and downturns is really sickening
I yearn one fine day would be given to me of being set free
From these chains I am in and simply remain being me!
