Cynthia Buhain-baello Poems

Efflorescence,
Denied the endowment of soil
Yet magnificent in splendor -
The water hyacinth.
...

Ambivalence is saying 'No'
But all the time meaning a 'Yes'
A play of masks begins to show
An absence of pure Genuineness.
...

A candle of blue
I keep lighted for you
In honor and gratitude.
...

We are indeed two parallel lines
That run in eternal agreement
Continuously our course defines
A harmonious stand of our sentiments.
...

Curiosity is stirred by this blanket of white flannel
Covering the blueness of my morning's vast sky
Cottony mantle of fluffy cushions that jostle
Continually with the breath of winds that blow by
...

It takes a marvelous person
to influence a child so deeply
in a short span of years lived on
this earth, you've done admirably.
...

Brief was the time spent together
Days fleeting as the sand washed away
Games we played I no longer remember
But poignant memories come in replay.
...

Time is a gift that keeps ticking away

And like a flower, it will never stay
...

Revenge on your mind will eat you up
Because Hatred never bore sweetened fruit.
Blood spilled on the ground won't be enough,
To pull that rotted tree from its root.
...

They called it 'puppy love'-
In childhood days, it comes.
A touch of moonbeams above
Born of stardust, it becomes
...
