A Wedding March
Clash your cymbals, maids, to--day.
Chaunt the praise of Cynthia.
You, her virgins, yokeless, free,
Young Time's choice, his brides--to--be.
Nymphs in white, who hand in hand
Next to her high altar stand,
Take your timbrels, strike your strings;
Tune them to Love's clamourings.
Heralds be of her your fairest,
Her of rarities the rarest.
Instant all her laud rehearse,
Idol of your universe;
And thus armed stand forth and say,
``All is nought but Cynthia.''
Clash your cymbals. Beat your drums.
Cynthia in her glory comes,
High with him whose duty is
Her to lead to a new bliss.
Ah, what fortune his to be
Angel of her ecstasy!
Red with roses Love's path lies,
Rich in rainbows of surprise.
They that tread it wiser are
Than the wise kings with their star,
Eve and morn who went pursuing
Eve's old hopes to Time's undoing,
Robbing Time of his vain wrath.
Run to Love; take all he hath,
Idle maids! Nay, shout and sing,
In Love's praise new chorusing,
Stintless this thrice happy day.
Shout aloud for Cynthia!

Psalm 150
Praise God in his heavenly dwelling;
praise him in his mighty heaven!
Praise him for his mighty works;
praise his unequaled greatness!
Praise him with a blast of the trumpet;
praise him with the lyre and harp!
Praise him with the tambourine and dancing;
praise him with stringed instruments and flutes!
Praise him with a clash of cymbals;
praise him with loud clanging cymbals.
Let everything that lives sing praises to the Lord!
Praise the Lord!!

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!

Take a Moment
Take a moment
To look into my eyes
Just before you leave
And say your last goodbye.
Take a moment
To hold me one last time
To feel the love we had
The time when you were mine.
Take a moment
To hear the beat of this heart
And know its pain in pleading
That you will not depart.
For this is time suspended
Engraved in eternity
When our Love had ended
And you are gone from me.

Psalm CL.
Praise ye the Lord, your Songs address
To praise His Holynes:
O praise Him in His pow'rs extent,
Who rules the firmament.
Praise Him for all His acts of might,
Our wonder which invite:
In praises due His greatness tell,
Which all things doth excell.
Praise Him with Trumpets lofty sound,
With Cornets shake the ground:
His praise the Psaltery inspire,
With the melodious Lyre.
Praise him with Timbrells, and advance
His honour in the Dance.
Praise Him with Organs, Violls, Flutes,
And the well-stringed Lutes.
With Cymbals loud Him magnify,
Praise Him on Cymbals high:
Let every creature, that hath breath,
His Maker praise till death.

Realize
Realize that Love
Like clouds can leave
Blown away by winds of change
Realize that Chance
Like rainbows...falling stars
Sometimes comes only once.
Realize that Time
Like fleeting mists may fade
Dissolve in memory sublime.
Realize that You
Like temporary dust remain
Tomorrow may not feel Love's pain.

Crossing My Sea
I am crossing my red sea
And the waters are high
They're over and above me
And they make me cry.
The burdens are heavy
Gargantuan tasks
The challenges many
More than I can ask.
The staff that You gave me
Is this little pen
For writing is surely
What You intend.
I am crossing my red sea
And my hopes will be bright
As long as You're with me
My life is alright.
My needs You do know
As I journey across
I will trust You and so
I will not suffer loss.
Hold my hand in this sea
Many times I will stumble
Let me reach victory
For I know You are able!
'I love You, O Lord, my Strength.'

Love's Hourglass
Times goes through
The hourglass
Telling me that you
From this moment's place
In time, will soon will pass.
Love goes through
No hourglass
And I believe that this is true
When all else goes away-
That love is for us
Take care then
And remember
Hold on to that hourglass
For eternity is a forever
That our love will surpass.

Three Words: 'I Love You
Three words that carry so much meaning
'I love you' - is such a profound expression
Of the total surrender to Love's conquering
And a lasting commitment of sweet affection.
'I love you' is such a faithful declaration
Three simple words with a binding promise
To give the best with unselfish devotion
To one who is loved and desired to please.
When uttered in deepest sincerity
'I love you' can cross the highest mountains
It can sail the distance of many seas
And the very existence of Time be in vain.
Three words that may sometimes gravely cost
Even the lives of star-crossed lovers
Like Romeo and Juliet whose lives were lost
In their 'I love you' sighed in death forever.

Between indecision and ambivalence
In passing Time

No Time To Cry
No time to cry
The bills are coming
Stand up and try
To stop hurting.
These times are hard
And costs are high,
Those credit cards
Will skin you dry.
Breaking hearts?
They are passe!
Get up and go
And work away.
Bandage the bruise
In time you'll see
New love on cruise
With you will be.

Forgetting
Now comes the last goodbyes
The longing is no longer there
The sighing ceased and dry the eyes
Hearts now are free from love and care.
Words have emptied of their sweetness
Gazes are far and never meet
Blank looks that all speak of sadness
The promised future we now forfeit.
The stage is set for the forgetting
All things must end with time someday
Release the past with all forgiving
We tried to love but it's gone away.

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.

every time.'

Goodbyes Here in My Eyes
Now you gaze and see
Goodbyes here in my eyes
In tears this Sadness flees
When Love departs and dies
Ribboned hearts are now released
From ties and graying promises
For other loves have come and pleased
To cut through bonds with bleak excuses.
And now I shall then set you free
My eyes no longer hold its hopes
My heart lets go, unties Reality
At last untied, where vague Love gropes.

Experiencing God
You make known to me
the paths of life,
And when I pray-
You speak, I listen.
You fill my soul
with a Presence
I cannot grasp,
You live, I die.
You let me see
the depth of Love,
Your Glory comes-
You Are, I am.
You leave no room
for fear or questions,
Your Word I trust-
You lead, I follow.
You are Provider
of all I need,
More than enough-
You give, I'm blessed.
You are Faithful
And so True
Your Word is life!
You are God, I love you.

Butterfly and Flowers, Doves and Loves
Will I in dreams, begin to cherish
The sight of you for whom I now wish
To be so etched on this memory's mind
A love so distant and so hard to find?
I am one among many that you behold
As your heart's capacity to love unfolds
There lies so many rooms for your other loves
A romantic collection of wandering doves.
And yet you will say, 'you are different'
Wished the difference would make love permanent!
For the ways of new love these modern times
Cause pain in the heart in uncertainty's prime..
No ties and no promises will ever be made
Perhaps in another time the bond will be laid
Another dream metamorphosed to beauty
Will birth the butterfly of our Reality.

Life's Golden Nuggets
A friendly word that sparks a little hope
A hand to hold when on the downward slope
Care and love expressed in warm embrace
Makes light the obstacles in life one has to face
Someone there to listen and to share
When times are dark and all seems so unfair
To stand together in sun and sometimes rain
A shoulder there to cry on when there is pain
Yes, Life's golden little nuggets do not come
In bars of gold, but in small things their worth become.

Youre an inspirin sight

But baby thats alright

To stop singin, baby, and salute your style

The mystery in your smile
Or just how cool you walk
In a world gone wild

Well I gotta be pretty naive to believe in you
I know you aint ever gonna be my dream come true

Bon Voyage - And Vice Versa
Propertius: Elegy VIII, Part 1
"Tune igitur demens nec te mea cura moratur?---"
O Cynthia, hast thou lost thy mind?
Have I no claim on thine affection?
Dost love the chill Illyrian wind
With something passing predilection?
And is thy friend--whoe'er he be--
The kind to take the place of me?
Ah, canst thou bear the surging deep?
Canst thou endure the hard ship's-mattress?
For scant will be thy hours of sleep
From Staten Island to Cape Hatt'ras;
And won't thy fairy feet be froze
With treading on the foreign snows?
I hope that doubly blows the gale,
With billows twice as high as ever,
So that the captain, fain to sail,
May not achieve his mad endeavor!
The winds, when that they cease to roar,
Shall find me wailing on the shore.
Yet merit thou my love or wrath,
O False, I pray that Galatea
May smile upon thy watery path!
A pleasant trip,--that's the idea.
Light of my life, there never shall
For me be any other gal.
And sailors, as they hasten past,
Will always have to hear my query:
"Where have you seen my Cynthia last?
Has anybody seen my dearie?"
I'll shout: "In Malden or Marquette
Where'er she be, I'll have her yet!"

Audio
i cannot stand silence.
so give me the banging of drums,
and the clash of cymbals to scare it away.
i want guitar riffs that rip the air
into shreds leaving the calm in disarray.
i cannot stand silence.
talk, sing, scream or screech me to sleep
anytime if you may.
