Cynthia Buhain-baello Poems

Strange that we should feel this way
And yet it goes on
Like flowing streams
In endless days
...

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.
...

Of all animals, Man is the most cruel
Vietnam's greyhound racing proves this
That horrible abuse as a gambling fuel
And the use of canines for fun must cease!
...

How many are diverted?
How many get deceived?
They need to be converted
To God truly believe.
...

Mansions
Hallow abode
A worthless edifice
Without the light of Love and peace
...

Rushing waves on shores
Caress the rocks in freedom
Moon tides soon to come.
...

This heart aches to be with you
How it wished that all the miles
Would just fade out into the blue
And it would be with you all the while
...

Echoes from the past may sometimes linger
When the night is darkest and most silent,
Fragments of bitter images, a reminder
Hidden sorrows refrain a lament.
...

When I was young and in my prime
I was just an ugly duckling.
I'd stay at home and spend my time
With poetry and my sewing.
...
