Nature’S Nature: From the Heart That Speaks

By Sixto R. Castillo

The temple within is every aspect to all good and committed sin. With a statue for every voice. And the measure to listen carefully and to make the right choice. The sound of the echo is long and everlasting. This would be the best voice to listen to, but all I hear is the other laughing. They all say listen to me, listen to me. But I have to ignore all to make my own decisions to see.

In his debut collection, Natures Nature, Sixto Castillo draws readers into his abstract world of rhythmic poetry and prose. This is a unique gathering of words that reflects Castillos thoughts on life and reality, filtered through nothing but his own mind while all other distractions are set aside.

Here, there is imagery that appeals to the senses and unexpected ironic twists. Traditional metrical schemes need not apply as Castillo uses a hypnotic, lilting melody that draws readers from one poem to the next. Through his collection, Castillo hopes to inspire people through the written word and share a message of hope, true emotion, and joy.

Chemical Imbalance

Knock, knock, tick tock, click, doors unlock. Shh, the noises are getting louder. Closes they come but far away they seem. Madness is drawn, but in the cloudiness it only feels like a dream. Mist is risen from a stream. Deep beyond the depths of the edge, the tension grows fiercely. Images flash before the eye deliriously. Ferociously, it grips, and will not let go. Paranoiah seems as the only option now. So, thing are clearing, this mind altering substance has objects appearing. There; they are not. Chills of cold but its blistering hot. Sweat is released with a nervous twitch, which is felt as a bug bite and is transformed into an annoying itch. A brain glitch from inside where wires have been crossed. And your mind is somewhere but has obviously been lost. Near is far and far is near. But sounds, images, objects, voices that are invisible to you eye. You try to
