Indecision

INDECISION

by Cynthia B. Baello
July 5,2008

Annoying thing, this indecision-
Wry deceit, unjust vexation.
Waste of time and of attention,
Diverts one's thoughts,
Drains affection.

Creates a maze with one's own mind,
Directions, goals are hard to find.
Weigh the options,
And then rewind,
Not deciding
Is unkind.

------
'When we aim at nothing, we hit it
every time.'

Undecided Love (Naani form)

Between indecision and ambivalence
In passing Time
Drives Love to Absence
Frail Gemini's crime.

Words Become Lifestyles

Words make the man
And reflect what his heart contains

Thoughts become words
And when spoken they remain

Words that are repeated
Become habits in the end

Habits formed become lifestyles
That later may be hard to amend.

Change

The past is over and cannot be undone
And so to move forward I have to let go.

Thoughts of tomorrow always hinder one,
The worries and the fears only make me slow.

Today is a time that I still can mold,
Today is a good start to take a good look.

Change is still there for me to hold,
My lessons of today are tommorrow's
books.

Focus on goals for time can't be lost,
I can't just rock the boat- need to sink it too.

For change to happen, there is always a cost
I must rid of the old to create something new.

'Therefore, if anyone is in Christ, he is a new creation;
the old has gone, the new has come.'

The Bible

For forty years I was blind
Till I read the Book where there I find
The Wisdom to live and do what's right
Your Words were Truth, they were Light.
They fed my spirit and guided my way
I now read my Bible everyday!

Sincerity

Out front they said I could write
But behind my backs they sneered,
Such foolish pretense was not right-
Insincerity in the hearts that leered.

The ugly masks people wear
Destroy themselves in the end
Like rust and termites there
The erosion will inwardly bend.

When people say what they mean
And mean each word they say -
Truth is where their hearts lean
And with sincerity they will always stay.


'Truthful lips endure forever, but a lying tongue lasts only a moment.'

Proverbs 12: 19

Life Story

To Hope is life's necessity
To dream is Freedom sought,

Each day is Opportunity
Another step to Growth.

To Love is truly caring
Affection pure and good

And Faith in God believing
His Grace is spirit food.

To try again is Courage
And to work is Dignity

Thus recorded in our page
This is our Life Story.

Just When I needed You

Was it the twist of Fate
Or a wink of Destiny
Or the humor of fleeting Chance
That Love brought you to me?

It was a time of sadness
And this heart had so much pain
But you came and filled it with gladness
Yes, to love again was not in vain.

The second Love they say is best
Now I believe that is really true
And all my hurts were put to rest
For you came... just when I needed you!

I love you and thank you!

That's Write (Cinquain)

Weaving
Laced vivid words
Like dreams coloring life
Thoughts painted on paper canvas
...A poem.

Those Who Copy Murder Poetry

Unkind are those
Who disrespect
Their fellow writers' work,

They presuppose
We can't expect
That duplication lurks.

So with temerity
Their works will show
That titles are just 'copy'

They mock the art,
And refuse to grow
...Then murder Poetry.

I Will Write About You, God

I will write about You,
With my last breath I would.
Your Hand's upon my pen,
Your Words in mind again.

Tried to veer away from it,
Tried some drama and some wit,
But You are so persistent,
Gave the score for my content.

You will not let me go,
I plant Your Words, they will grow
In hearts of hardened soil so barren,
You draw them in, the souls of men.

Now is the time, now is the season,
To write Your Words that is the reason
This gift was given, it's for You.
Until the end...I will write about You.

'For it is God Who works in You, to will and to do according to His good purpose.'
Philippians 2: 13

For John and Wayne

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

With hope, we move on forward
Unhindered by those hurts,
For the future holds rewards
And ways to regain self-worth.

Each passing day is ours
A chance to win our battles-
Though with age, Time's quickening hours
May soon take us out of the hurdle.

As a friend and a fellow soldier
We hold friendship in the battle of life
With our God and with all our prayers
We'll find victory through all the strife!

Kindness

Kindness is an alien word today,
Eventually bound for extinction.

For angry words that people say
All carry tones of sheer vexation.

If words can swallow each man whole
Then we'll devour each other up,

For rage has taken each man's soul
One sentence then would be enough.

Perhaps it's time we change the tune
And lace our human words with grace

This higher form of life may soon
In time end up without a trace.

For there is only one distinction
That separates man from all the rest

Aside from Love's profound emotion,
Of virtues, Kindness is man's best.

Forgiveness (Naani)

Like uncaged prey set free
Bitterness unchained by a forgiving heart
Paroles the victim
Hate departs.

The Color of Absence

A prism
Of diverse colors
Intertwined
In mixed emotions
Released
In light, a burst of magic
In darkness
Shades become lethargic
Absence
Opens white and blue
Magenta, red, and green
Blended
Feelings left unseen
In sadness lost
Dissolved in hues.

Communication

Communication is touching
Another with sincerity
Not just with verbal teaching
Conversing absently.
It is the human spirit
That reaches forth with care
Words so laden with it
In love and knowledge share.
Crossing space and distance
Communication frees
It is the golden chance
For friendship and for peace.

Remnants

Agonizing memories
Afflict the crushed, saddened soul
Fleeting thoughts of intimacies,
Shades of love no longer whole.

Those sweet fragances and scents -
With soft music, their own song,
Witness now that love is absent,
Tell her where she once belonged.

Letters left are now tear-stained
Photographs like ghosts of past,
Remains of a heart deeply pained
Remnants of a love that was.

In Him There is No Fear

When oceans move to swallow
And mountains slide to bury
And all don't know just where to go
When Death's near you and me.

When winter cold comes killing
And land breaks open wide
In Him we find there is no fearing
The Lord our God is by our side.

Just One Wish

I have but one wish and it is this:
That a ship of dreams will one day take me
To where you are and there to kiss
Each other in love, so affectionately.

To finally gaze in your loving eyes
To hold you in a sweet tender embrace
And to feel my heartbeat suddenly rise
As I see the love shown there in your face.

I have this one wish and I hope it's granted
That together we will be and remain that way,
There's nothing in this world I have ever wanted
Than to be with you Dearest, for all my days!
