Cynthia Buhain-baello Poems

When you meet a writer
More often than not, he's a listener,
Because he is always an observer
Who absorbs all he sees there.
...

A defiant stand is a choice we all make
At one time or another when traitors take
Our valued rights, and freedom's promise-
When forces provoke us with Hate, Malice.
...

In silence of night

Lingers placid Solitude
...

The dog is not a nice kitten
So you never should try to kiss him
Don't try to make the 'eye to eye'
Or you would be kissing your lips goodbye.
...

Envy is the malicious dislike of another
An ill-feeling with vague reasons we find there.

Contempt that springs from a jealous heart,
...

Sometimes this writing is like a nagging disease,
This ebullient pen won't leave me in peace.

I want to write about daisies and skies
...

Greed counts currency
While sheer Poverty cries,
With mocking mirth and glee
And a twinkling of the eye.
...

Sleazy scribes

dipping pen in ennui and slime
...

Cry silently through the night
In cloak of dark and dim lights
And pour the pain in endless drops
When morning comes it will just stop.
...

Since you were gone
Each breath I take
Leaves me undone
As my heart breaks.
...
