Roses
Roses
Enchanting sight
Can mesmerize the eye
Soft satin petals hiding well
...the thorns.

Summer breeze on my face
Touches like soft satin lace
Soothes like lingering melody
Brings back a memory.

Laced vivid words
Like dreams coloring life

Undecided Love (Naani form)
Between indecision and ambivalence
In passing Time
Drives Love to Absence
Frail Gemini's crime.

Burning Words Cut Love Cords
Weighed down
By burning words
They sound
Like angry swords
Slain hearts
Now lie in discord
Depart...
And cut Love cords.

A Short Poem Like Ogden's
Perhaps because
Of too high taxes
A man dropped his plane
At the IRS.

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.'

Blackberry Blue
A distinct color
Is blackberry blue
Its blackness shaded
In silvery shine
Like Bahrain pearls
In deepest hue
Light changes it
Like sweet dark wine.

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.

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.

Wishful Dreams
In dreams persistently you are
A present vision, ever haunting
At night like a brilliant distant star
The sight of you fills me with longing.
You call my name there in my dreams
Embraced I am in fleeting shadows
You hold my hand like fading moonbeams
But you're not there in my tomorrows.
If life could be lived in wishful dreams
No waking up in the brightness of sun
Together we will be forever it seems
Of days and of parting... there will be none.

Genuine Apology
Promises on bended knees
Sweet loving words to hear
Do not bring marriage bliss
Nor make the bond more dear.
Diamonds on some rings
Dinners by candlelight
Red roses, wine, and things
Do not make infidelity right.
Diversions from the Mrs
By a husband gone astray
Will soon blow up her fuses
Apologies wasted away.
Actions must prove sincerity
And commitment with no lies
Forgiveness demanding change
Without it, that's compromise.

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!

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.

Cheerfulness
Cheerfulness is a virus that contaminates
Surrounding all in wondrous pleasant air
A sweet perfume like roses permeates
A sunny view of life that always brings in flair.
Cheerfulness is life's distinct pizzazz
A dancing mood, a musical joy of feeling
Of all human emotions, it is real jazz!
So fun to feel and so very uplifting.
And the wonderful thing for us to realize
Cheerfulness in one we don't need to spend on
It's always free and comes in many a size
Each day, in as many colors you can try on!

Fly Swiftly Away
Fly swiftly away
From Love's tender snare
For the net there will lay
Deep affections and care
Seducing your emotions
Blinding sound Reason
Swaying your Decisions
With enchanting Persuasion.
Fly swiftly away
Spare yourself pain
When the sweetness shall mellow
And Departure comes again
Fickle promises break
As the Love grows out cold
'Goodbyes' you have to take
A sad heart you will hold.

Rights
Blatant disrespect is not a right
When another's freedom is transgressed
For to use your art to start a fight
Is like stepping down on the oppressed
And there the freedom draws a line
Cutting in what is called abuse
You have your rights and I have mine
Remember to put that art to good use.

A Man Reaps What He Sows
Careless intent reaps much discord
And many a time, it harvests offense
A bitter root grows from our words
As the wounds it cuts are truly immense.
And God will not be mocked
A man shall reap all that he sows
Man's words be weighed the Good it lacked
For God does hear and knows.

Curses and Malice
Curses and malice go together
Like marital partners they sashay
And like dirty words they are forever
Recorded in Heaven everyday.
And those that release them are in bondage
In shackles and chains of obscene language
Pulling them lower down eternal fire
Sealing their fate in hell so dire.
