Three Poems of Elizabeth Esguerra Castillo from Philippines

"Beneath Our Beautiful Silences"

In the calmness and serenity of this dark night

I reminisce my past life when my soul met yours

you are my mirror, as I can see myself in YOU in many ways

but for this moment in time, only a deafening silence connects us...

only our eyes speak to each other in a way nobody can ever decipher...

beneath our beautiful silences, there is "Oneness" achieved, one Universe created...among a billion stars that shine above...

we belong to the same vast galaxy, I am a Warrior Princess of my own kingdom

while you are a Knight wandering this ocean of elusive dreams…

we are both searching for each other with lives isolated by different barriers

my Soul Mate whom God destined me to be with… find me beneath the quietness of our worlds…

Destiny must not be far behind us as it now calls our names echoing the four corners of the Earth

Fate will lead you to the path where our souls will meet again my eternal Twin Flame…

Enigmatic madness will envelope our worlds when our eyes meet once more

In this lifetime and of times passed when we have searched and meet each other for thousands of years time and again…

There is such utter beauty brought about by this golden silence between us

For it helps us realize if we are meant to be together and not to ever be separated again…

"Immortal Love"

a love that transcends

time and place,

a soul meeting her twin flame

in her recurrent abstract dreams

a love that defies laws

immortal love,

one that is extra-ordinary

a love that takes her far into the heavens.

changing faces,

in every century, every decade that passes

but it's still YOU my heart beats for

mystic love,

through fragments in space

illuminated by a strange force

I keep on seeing you

in every place that I go to.

centuries passed,

memories elapsed

still this heart aches

dying to be with you once more,

serendipity playing a game on us

for this love always leads me to just YOU.

immortal love,

my soul intertwined to just ONE

I have been reincarnated a thousand times,

but through all the changing seasons and live

my spirit keeps on searching for only YOU.

"Written In the Stars"

(Inspired by the movie “Winter’s Tale")

They say for each person

There is a certain Miracle from within

And you are meant to be just for one person

As time draws to a close to meeting the One,

The Universe and your Spirit Guides are on your side

To help you fulfill your One True Destiny.

It’s written in the stars

And before you know it, I am coming to hold your hand

You may not know now but soon you’ll get it somehow

I may have bumped into you along life’s journey,

But you were too preoccupied with your own story

That you didn’t notice me passing you by.

If in this life, we have to say goodbye

As my soul reincarnates, I’ll meet you again in the next,

When our eyes lock as we cross our paths once more

You will know in your heart that it was me – your Destiny,

Just look at the stars on a beautiful night such as this

And know that the time is near to feel eternal bliss.

It’s written in the stars

For even when True Love is lost,

Your soul will bleed for a meaning in your life

But though the inevitable happens, searching for your One True Destiny remains

If we are yet to discover our One True Miracle,

Even time may defeat itself in order for you to see me in another lifetime.
