The Mirror

Posted by Ana Castillo on Thursday, November 27, 2014, In : Poetry 
Standing
Eyes wide open
Open field
Field of flowers
Flowers of love
Love of lust
Lust for him
Him being wrong
Wrong for me
Standing.
I see the past.
Past voices.
Voices that speak.
Speak loud and scream
Scream to forget
Forget those reflected
Reflected in the mirror.
Mirror of imagination
Imagination of the young
Young and innocent
Innocent and unaware
Unaware of the world.
World of evil
Standing
Tears pouring down
Down on lost trust
Trust to not break promises
Promises that are consumed
Consumed with lies
Lies that cree...

Shadow

Posted by Ana Castillo on Friday, June 20, 2014, In : Poetry 
Produce of light 
Following everywhere
Who are you?
Why do you follow me?
Wake when I awake 
But leave when I sleep

Are you the protagonist of my dreams?
I cannot see me when I close my eyes
And Enter this Nocturnal world.
I see you, dark shadow
Carrying my emotions

Are you observing my actions?
Punishing me for the wrongs.
Reminding the sorrows to coexist with Happiness. 
You are.
Always there beside me.

I never startled at your existence
Only the first time I met you.
I do not recall. 
Yet, never do you remin...

Someone New

Posted by Ana Castillo on Tuesday, April 1, 2014, In : Poetry 

Why are we slaves to our subconscious?

As children, we are given love.

We breathe love and celebrate it

When we grow older, we open our hearts to another.

 

Why does our first love mark the end of our feel of love?

As our hearts become tainted with agony,

We replace that initial careless feeling with the pain.

When we recover, we trust less.

 

How can you ever love again?

Is it possible for you to remember the first feel of love?

The frightful beating of your...

I Missed You...

Posted by Ana Castillo on Sunday, January 12, 2014, In : Poetry 
I wouldn't dwell on the past,
unless I wanted you here present.
The past was good.
It was all joy
I was confused, felt like a toy
Mesmerized. 
Spoke enough, then too much,

You live, learn, accept.
Your gone, now back.
Then gone, and back.
Forgive me but you must stay.
I must taste your lips again.
Your the poison that I picked,
I wish to bleed its joyous pain.

To not be sane, or ready.
Would be a great mistake,
Endeavored in your being, I'd
Love to have thee.

Love & War

Posted by Ana Castillo on Friday, January 10, 2014, In : Poetry 
My dreams died with the shadows that overtook the night
I loved you like no other
I probably do, still
Your absence filled my nights with sorrow
Endless times, thinking it was me
I'm not complete
But now, it all lies underneath 
My army consisted of two warriors
They would stand side by side no matter what
No matter how much blood was spilled
No matter how much... Bodies were killed
One body would return home
One body will live to tell, and pass it all on to the future
Silly to think that the cow really d...

Mary Jane

Posted by Ana Castillo on Friday, January 3, 2014, In : Poetry 
Some Call it Cannabis 
It heals the soul, right?
Tampers your memory, doesn't seem so.

I can't control them, how they feel.
No way to prevent my emotions either
I bleed hesitation, I bleed drugs. 
I don't need it, I want it,
So, does that mean I need it?

Its my consultation, she understands me.
She's beautiful. They call her,
Poisonous.
But the wreath of my breath against hers,
it wakes me. 
She's beautiful, with her luscious red lips,
the green meadows that round her hips.
The spikes that makes any man ble...

I Remember,

Posted by Ana Castillo on Friday, January 3, 2014, In : Poetry 

Those nights I'd think I would never let go.

When his heart was the resident in the presidential suite of my heart.

When my thoughts raced like horse's adrenaline at the end of a race. 

I was stranded, I was one, I was lonely. 


 There's no greater pain, than falling in love.

Specially when that person never even dated you.

They become the dreams you don't want to wake up from.

The reason you don't finish your meals.

The streak of motivation when you just can't seem to keep going.

But then they leave.


L...

I Am a Woman

Posted by Ana Castillo on Sunday, December 1, 2013, In : Poetry 

I'm a girl, Men refer to me as a whore. The only way to bring attention to the words that come out my mouth is by leaving little to the imagination. Most of my counterparts have given up on having our voices hold more meaning than our image. I am a toy to the media and an entertainment to men's eyes. He would rather see a picture of me naked on his phone than the diploma I worked hard through the years to earn. Society treats me like I'm worhless and causes many like me to feel worthless. Bec...

Untold Story

Posted by Ana Castillo on Wednesday, February 27, 2013, In : Poetry 
Water drops from the top of the mountains
Sinks down from the lands to the seas
But the rain only carries it deeper
As the fumes of the land fall asleep

The volcano has lava of fire
With a burn that can take on a soul
As it pours out the greens out of nature
All the water calms down a brown coal

A solution like ones in the chemicals
Chances to abide the damage of the land
A disaster that nature has uncalled
But there's always a chance to survive

Rejuvenate like the power of land
Changes are unannounced 
Wa...
