You wouldn't believe how some of my poetry and lyrics are delivered, sometimes through sudden thought and other times in dreams. Since my young years I wrote poetry I would recite and sing to myself. My poetry is based on life events and experiences. I somehow add a musical tone to give the poem an opportunity to become a song. My goal is to share my lyrics with everyone and convert my poetry into music. Below you will find a few poems that I would like to have composed into songs. Eugene Foley - Author of Artist Development, reviewed my poetry and this is what he had to say:

    "Elizabeth Castillo's poems brilliantly touch upon life's most important subjects, ranging from religion and family to friendship and love. Elizabeth writes about things that most of us have experienced, but presents those wisely chosen words in a way that's never been said before." Eugene Foley - Author of Artist Development - A Distinctive Guide To The Music Industry's Lost Art


She Fooled Him She fooled him And he went for it Blinded by the words Guided by the curse That's what happens When you're caught in a web You lose track of what happens You think it's the path then it all ends In the split of a moment You're filled with regret and torment She fooled him He believed her phrases He trusted her words He thought that was the way to go He confused sincerity With a wicked mellow tone You I could have warned You had to learn on your own Next time listen to the wise Don't be fooled by evil eyes Oh How It Hurts Love has attacked me without a clue I pray for this pain to go away I no longer wish to feel this way I'm in love with a dream With a man that didn't care for me Oh how it hurts Every day is difficult to live It's a pain only I feel I carry my emotion deep in my heart And tell no one about my hidden love Though it's shredding my poor heart Slowly killing my beauty within Oh how it hurts This love had no beginning and no end I was left alone holding it I pray for this pain to go away Love has attacked me without warning It wounded me without knowing I've Been Missing you I've been missing you Hearing your voice Seeing your face In the crowd I miss the scent of your skin Your tender lips and your smile I've been wondering Were you have you been Are you alone? Do you think of me? I've been wondering Who you are with Are you in love? Am I still in your thoughts? I've been missing you As time passes by I can still see The hope in your eyes I miss your precious hands Holding me tight Making me feel so alive I've been remembering Your beautiful dreams The thoughts in your mind Holding on to my heart I've been missing you I've been wondering I've been remembering Streetwalker Streetwalker That's what you call her As she passes by With those sexy lips and beautiful eyes Using her precious body To lure men and make money Oh how I love her Streetwalker A convincing sweet talker Looking for love in all the wrong places Hiding with unfamiliar faces Streetwalker That's what you call her A woman that unknowingly captivates hearts A woman luring men into the dark Hiding before your eyes Shouting silent cries into the night No body knows Her pain and sorrows Streetwalker Accepting her life as a martyr Oh how I love her
 

I Hate That I Love You I hate that I love you I hate that I love you I wish I wouldn't have to think of you I wish your image would vanish Can't stand the confusion Your thoughts have become an intrusion To my life and heart I can't abandon your thoughts I hate that I love you I hate that I love you You've got my mind out of control My life is no longer my own I can't take the pain Images of you in my mind I retain I hate that I love you I hate that I love you Your love I don't wish to know Let me go beautiful friend Release me from your thoughts I no longer wish to feel your love Angels Bring Me Home Angels bring me home To the place that I know Were my love is welcomed And my soul is warm Angels bring my heart home It's lying next door No one cared to unfold The beauty that my heart carries And the love that's in my soul Can you hear me? Angels bring me home Don't leave me alone I left my heart next door It's lying on the floor No one picked it up It's there scared and alone Angels bring my heart home To the place that I know Where laughter brightens my soul And people smile everywhere I go Don't leave me alone Angels bring me home Our Souls Dance When We Sleep Show me the way home Show me the way home Why don't you show me the way home Our souls dance when we sleep When no one else can see That we're in love and free From the worlds hate and deceit My favorite time Is when I sleep at night When your soul awakens mine To dance under the moonlight Show me the way home Show me the way home Why don't you show me the way home I know exactly when you're coming I feel the energy rushing Letting me know You're on your way home Hold on and don't let go For this love is the only love I wish to know The Train To Nowhere Without destination Without hesitation Always on track Not knowing were it's at The train to nowhere Driven by the air On board Empty souls Nobody knows Where this train will go Yet so many board Without regard Of where they're at Or where they'll go Nobody knows Hopefully one day Riding on the train Empty souls Will finally know Why they come onboard Their souls will be empty no more
