Cynthia Buhain-baello Poems

Closed eyes refuse Sleep
my open mind sways
between the slumber and waking.
Distant fleeting faces come
...

You have to hate it enough
In order to get out of it,

Getting out of a quicksand is tough
...

Kung kayo ay puno ng reklamo
Dahilan sa abang kondisyon,
Ito'y isang sitwasyong gusto nyo
At di dapat isisi sa nasyon.
...

Pain is like a politician
It can woo you slowly and win
Then rules without your decision
To gradually drain you within.
...

If you listen long enough
To his words like finest wine
Believing all that stuff
Makes you drunk with crafty lines
...

It's the scale of Foresight
The keen eyes of Prudence
The Perception of what's right
Balanced Logic, intelligence.
...

Vanities are the thoughts of men
Anchored on Self and Pride
For true Wisdom can only be given
If God, in man's heart, resides.
...

Some friends I add merely
Tag along as kibitzers,
Perhaps friendship wasn't really
Their reason to be here.
...

Mirrored images of one
Flow forth from words conveyed,
For the hidden heart of a man
Is revealed from what he relayed.
...

Laughter
A remedy
Free and easy, flawless
Refreshing as a breeze to soothe
...
