Cynthia Buhain-baello Poems

Cross this bridge
called Distance
Paint it into Nothingness
and mere Space
...

I sought it with passion
For no one can dictate
My eternal destination
And so I prayed in Faith.
...

If dreams would cease
And days ahead mere Future,
No visions there to miss
No excitement that would lure
...

'Worthless idols' Jonah said,
Forfeit the grace that could be theirs,
And never in their lofty stead
Could idols save their own affairs.
...

'Faith, just what is it? '
Someone asked a preacher,
To illustrate in wit
He told the story of a biker.
...

Title stealer and copier
When will you learn Originality?
You are worst than a habitual lier
With your habit of duplicity!
...

At sixty, one will surely find
There is a very little trace
Of fleeting dreams in aging minds -
What's left is just some empty space.
...

The most ardent love, although sincere
Cannot deny Fate and Destiny,
Those endless nights of lonely tears
Will not bring you here to be with me.
...

One thing in life is definite
All men will turn to dust
For short is life and finite
This lesson, learn we must.
...

A scar that has healed on my finger
Reminds me of it everyday
The incident as vividly I remember
Tattooed in memory, you could say.
...
