Cynthia Buhain-baello Poems

A troubled soul has cried today
His words were lost in pained emotions,
His thoughts at random as he prays,
O Lord, give ear to his devotion.
...

My hopes like shipwrecked paper boats
Are crushed upon the streams of life.

With nothing to hang on to keep afloat,
...

Twelve out of sixteen killed were defenseless
Nine were children, three were women
To kill them while sleeping, it makes no sense
But this tragedy is a really bad omen.
...

S o heavy and dark are moods and feelings
A ll seems lost, a vague hopeless dilemma,
D own to the lowest pit of all human regard
N owhere to turn to is the pained, bruised man.
...

Our Life is woven with Adversity
And the race is really a marathon,
Endurance requires persistence
And only the tough keep running on.
...

Love blooms like flowers
Seasons usher new and hopeful buds
Though Winter's coldness numbs
Love comes again with Spring's warmth.
...

W hat fascinating thoughts to knoW

O ccupy its duckling mind sO
...

Gist is the fulcrum of a poem
On which it moves and stands
The axis where its meaning comes
The point where Substance lands.
...

There' no glory in religion, baneful rituals that never save -
We've left that life of blindness, we've come out of our graves!
None of us were righteous, and none have ever been too wise
None can claim perfection, yet Christ has opened our eyes!
...

Cursing words often used randomly to express
Nothing of poetic substance, no meaning there to address
The same boring words in ten poems shows the score
Is as empty and as hollow, as the poems read before.
