Cynthia Buhain-baello Poems

THERE WERE CHILDREN TOO

There were children too
When the Fat Man was dropped
...

In the fifty's there was the odd group beatniks
The sixty's flower people, non-conformists,
Against the tide, they don labels quite unique
Each decade spells their rebel's cause in a gist.
...

They like to call themselves the new Millenials
Upbeat youth so drunk in selfie 'Me first' trend,
They're like the fly on the cow's back for a while
Thinks it's taller than the beast, youth has no end-
...

Something about her can simply appeal
That silent magical attractiveness,
An inner soft glow one can surely feel
Like a hushed breath of wind in gentleness.
...

Riverside
By chance
We met today
Just by the riverside
...

Like trees
Words grow and bear
The reason they were sown
Gestate into reality
...

This life
Like rhythm and rhyme
Segues from sun to rain
Varied hues of shaded colors
...

Minutes away from the frenzied city
Is this treasured place of tranquility
Where the smell of green grass can set free
The mind from all that weighs so heavy.
...

Fate blessed me with a second chance,
Erased the anguish I've been through.
But miracles may come just once,
I'm glad that miracle is you.
...

Two can stand on parallel lines,
Unburdened by useless fighting
The people's good clearly defined,
Down the Peace road they'll be walking.
...
