Cynthia Buhain-baello Poems

After you leave
Will I still breathe
Or will my heart stop beating?
With sadness grieve
...

From distant childhood, she grew up craving
Deprived of love and tender caring
Her mother's death in childbirth paved
An essential need a child had to waive.
...

If my love could be a song
A melody like wind will touch you,
For in my heart's where you belong
Like wind belongs to skies of blue.
...

She's seems so very young
She should still be playing
That's not where she belongs
Her youth is abruptly ending.
...

Sometimes color
Clouds opinion

Sways the heart
...

Real failures
Come not from defeat or failing,
It is the forfeiture
Of the first step at trying.
...

Did you know that Truth can be liberating?
It is being truly free and having the joy of living!
Knowing yourself inside out and not being afraid,
To be who you are whatever was the price you paid,
...

Defense is just self preservation,
Why wait for the dam to break and burst?
When a foe aims for your destruction-
It is always best to hit him first.
...

Fools always hate what is true,
Like cockroaches that hate the light.
Facts can't form their point of view
Their perception's low, of zero insight.
...

The poet who wears a profile mask
Cannot face himself or his reader.
He can insult, be rude, not put to task
Cannot trace him for he hides forever.
...
