Cynthia Buhain-baello Poems

The fooling of Self starts with lies
Pretensions that cover naked eyes

Writing based on sly and covert moves
...

With freedom comes responsibility
And Freedom of Speech has so many

We cannot just throw every verb and pronoun
...

Each moment never takes me away
For you always seem to be here with me
Though we're apart there is not a day
That Love has not bound us continually.
...

In suicide, there is no freedom
More questions left than there are answers
Deep regrets they soon will come
With grief, and tears, and doubting prayers.
...

I am left at the empty doorway
Shabby, muddy, unclean
My faded colors mutely say
Where, all this time, have you been?
...

Suicide took your pain away
But left us with questions unanswered
Mom did not know it till her dying day
But I'm sure silently she wondered.
...

There is a time to be meek
And to silently hold one's peace
But now is the time to speak
When the Truth is diluted like this
...

Hate destroys
The one that births it
It robs one of joy
and peace, forfeit.
...

When friendship's bond is broken, it is so hard to mend
For careless words once said may create hurts that send
Years of fine togetherness and harmony down the drain
Like a vase that had fallen, though repaired, the cracks remain.
...
