Cynthia Buhain-baello Poems

People want freedom of speech with no rules,
To say what they want to say, but that's for fools.

Freedom of speech is not an absolute freedom,
...

Writing is not about the volume or length of words
But about the sense and meaning a poem accords.

It is like painting on the canvas of a blank page
...

Oh my, trolls are having a heyday
Pestering here with comments!
Idiotic as usual in what they say,
Ignorance displayed in statements.
...

The past year's almost over but it was incredible.
It went by so fast I could hardly believe it.
This year is the best and it is so memorable!
It's the year my aunt gave me some wealth to inherit!
...

Yearnings of the flesh do not equate
To the real concept of what Love is.
Pleasures alone will but negate
The caring bond of a long-term bliss.
...

Through the Door of Words

Through The Door Of Words
...

As The Grass Withers

Each day and night make me aware
Of the brevity of life and why I'm here.
...

Rhyme is to a poem as melody is to a song.
It's the sweet music to which written words belong.

Rhymes with meter makes the poem musical,
...

Our words
Define and draw
On life's canvas the truth
Of who we are and what's inside
...

My body has just implied
Its parts are used up, weak.
And though my will is strong inside,
I gasp for strength even as I speak.
...
