Cynthia Buhain-baello Poems

As we grow older we realize
These basic truths before our eyes:
The emptiness of wealth,
The dignity of work,
...

Mark where lies the heart that loved you
In gravestone covered tomb of pain
Where night's eternal slumber will undo
The past affections washed in rain.
...

Today is Christmas after
We had no gifts from yesterday
It was a usual lovely dinner
With much to thank for and to pray.
...

Ravenous wolves in sheep's clothing
They mercilessly devour the weak,
With a polluted premise in their preaching
Their greedy pangs can make one sick.
...

Because I love you
I have to say goodbye,

My sadness is heavy
...

He stalks in verdant Green
Breeds sharp acrimony
Pretenses left seen
Obnoxious Jealousy.
...

What is a friend?

One who stands with you
Through all the good and bad
...

We all had past regrets
But take a moment's pause
The pain we must forget
And the scars these may have caused.
...

Fear causes paralysis
Emotions are all numbed
Thoughts go may blank
As one becomes deaf and dumb.
...

Like a good medicine
It is the oil on a man's wagon
His sunshine in the rain
The breeze that blows his sail on.
...
