Cynthia Buhain-baello Poems

The time to say the words of love
Are brief and fleeting moments.

Passing days will need to prove
...

Across the distant shores
Where Silence dwells with Solitude,
A place I have been before,
Where Peace had been my daily food.
...

Allow your fellow poets freedom
With grace, appreciate their words
Whatever they give it will become
A blessing, a touch, that poems accord.
...

Perhaps it is futile
To even start
Amends
When all the while
...

Broken
Is he who lost
The will for life and love
To hold the future in his heart
...

Vultures
Perched in office
Feed on bloated paychecks
Decayed people not carrion yet
...

Just another round of the chess game
Rooks and bishops fall dead on the board

Apolitical horses have gone lame
...

Today I watched the falling rain
Rice paddies drinking droplets sweet
Heaven watering farmers' grains
As stalks shoot up their growth to meet.
...

Lord, You are my Hiding Place
In this remote cave of solitude,
As my soul gropes in empty space,
And I thirst for inner fortitude.
...

Children have different memories
Of parents who pass away.
While some will forgive freely,
Others remain bitter each day.
