Daring Love We dare to love, there is nothing to fear
To love is to offer each other our willing hearts, Dear
To love is to take a risky adventure without hesitation
To love is to challenge everything, to love with passion
We wish to live with each other all our lives
The love surrounding us will never lessen
Is it because of a sentimental debt or a fate made from destiny
Our souls are in love with each other, a wonderful dream
Ages, distances ... it is to us indifferent
May - December love, they say, the love is there within us
Eight-two, twenty-eight make a hundred and ten
Despite disdainful looks, our love is plentiful
Who can be sure that the Spring flowers will never fade?
Some flowers just last only one night, until midnight
Let's love each other each second passing by
Anh thank God for the deep love for each other each day

Forever Love You are quiet by nature, often choosing words clearly
The three words you have said sweeten my heart dearly
The three words that blossom and bring forth fruits
To my sleep with wonderful dreams
"I love you" is like a miracle
Our two lives are so different from distances so far
Yet we love each other so deeply, so dearly
All the superflous words are dropped from our conversations
Our love shines like light of fire
Burns from the bottom of our hearts
For all the rest of my life, I will only love you
You are always present in my mind and my heart
Though we are apart, we keep our special relationship
One year, two years or even a thousand years
Our love will be there despite winds, storms and hidden waves
Our tender love will never disappear
Nguyen Do
Time Milestones At dawn when the light darts out at the horizon
I wake up missing you terribly
I type on the keyboard hoping to lessen my longing for you
And I call out for you, my Love!
At lunch, I use the cellular phone to call you
I am so glad each time you answer quickly
My hands holding the phone shake a little
Your murmuring voice send me to the cloud
At dusk, the feeling of missing you grows more
But I daren't to disturb your mind and heart
Please concentrate in your studies
Upon your graduation, I will be there to take you out
At night I call you to wish you a happy sleep
In your dream, You'll see my shadow
The miraculous love deep from our heat will be there
Each passing second will be there each second and minutes

Lost Love Yes, I am only a poet Yet I dreamt about you last night, my darling You and I intertwined in love When woke up, I felt so disappointed, finding myself alone with pain We have been apart for so many long years We've sent each other a few words now and then to keep secretly love "Keep the pin as the token of my love Keep this picture to refresh the memories of our love!" I remember the day we got caught in the rain We stayed warmly close for a long time and didn't want to part And this morning, it is raining and cold My heart is reminded of our pledged love Yes, I know, I can only keep it in my heart Because you are now married far Yet I feel sad and bitter, crying, blaming my fate, For our love lost by storms while it rains with melancholy Nguyen Do Will The Moon Be Ever Old? The moon not full is mockingly afraid of getting old! Young lady, you should not worry too much You should enjoy studying, traveling The days, the nights, the time belong to you The steadfast hold will pass the outside beauty The virtues, the words and actions will last The beauty is from within As the clouds float over the mountains Live as in the Spring Be happy, don't be sad Build your dreams each day, each month Let them blossom like the flowers in the spring Nguyen Do Tears o' Love I dare not say It is still raining, drops and drops The road of life is full of questions and surprises What we say may worry us later If you were a drop of tear It will shine for eternity And if I may I will keep it for me forever We look at each other without saying It rains outside endlessly Pole lights stay dim in the night And our hearts shake dangerously If you were drops of tear Running on my cheek My lips would invite them To enter into my heart Nguyen Do Qai Lian (Quế Liên) (Cinnamon Lotus) (This poem is like the game of words, inspired by the name Qai-Lian; Qai = Cinnamon; Lian = lotus flower; inspired by the name of a Chínese friend) Are you a perfumed cinnamon tree or a beautiful lotus flower? You float rhythmically like a butterfly You're graceful as a fairy Last week you had your long dark hair Cover past your shoulders But it is suddenly short Your walk is still as queenly as before You - then long haired - now short haired You - of Chinese origin You - saying that you're Vietnamese You - always pleasant light I see myself in the young age The lake is full of lotus Blossoming, pleasant to the eyes But I only see the queen of flower: you! Nguyen Do Eternal Love Thanks to you, I speak again Thanks to you, I write endlessly poetry Thanks to you, I dream and daydream Thanks to you, I will wait night and day I will write love poems for you About a thousand and one nights, filled with love About a thousand and one nights of our dreams About a thousand and one nights full of stars in the firmament One day our boat will depart from the harbor The songs and the music will rock to our delight Let the boat float with the waves Let's us dance in cadence with the dreams to come Nguyen Do
One More Time
Love, let's see one more time
Our flower deepen its color of love
When the trees and the grass still in dew waiting for sunshine
Shine like thousand chains of pearls
Love, my love with the inviting lips
With wonderful black onyx this night
You give me the yeast and the drunken dream
And the music and the poetry of delight
Love, let's do it one more time
I love you, delicate love of paradise
Wordless love, sweet and perfumed love
Love -- I have written with unfamiliar language
Love, despite the obligation of daily life
My soul soars as the cloud above
I love you -- full of effervescence
Like waves, like in my young age
Love, our love full of the sunlight
Dances with our youthful dream
Your cheeks are cheerfully red today
The sunshine kiss lightly them
Love, our meeting during the summer morning
With beautiful flowers, filled with inspiration
We walk together, hand in hand
Feeling the emotions enter into our bodies and spirits

40th Anniversary
For Mr. Ninh and Nien Do
Each morning, I call home to wake you up.
Oh my love, I am still in love as always!
I love you, still wanting to talk to you about thousand things
About little things, big things, endlessly.
I want to share with you in detail
My life, my heart, each of my thought.
May we enjoy a peaceful life
Without tempest, without misunderstanding or anger!
Strangers who might think I call you just to chat
Can not understand talk doesn't mean much.
We have lived with each other more than forty years:
Your thought is mine, mine yours, shared.
We're deeply in love as in our younger days,
Added to our passion are our love and appreciation of each other,
And our care and worry for our children, our preparation for the future:
Our love deepens each minute of our lives.

Birds of Paradise
Birds of paradise in the shining orange color
Perching over there in the green branches and leaves
A lady reached out with her ivory arm
To touch, to catch, to invite the birds to land on her hand
In ecstasy I watched the flowers in the vase,
Precious, rare flowers blooming radiantly,
And the lady standing nearby smiled beautifully
Such a view gave me a complete happiness
The park with birds of paradise became our rendezvous place
All of a sudden, like a miracle in coincidence
You - Flower - and I entered in the world of poetry
As the sunlight danced in concert with the universe
I looked at you long, but never enough
Half of my soul or all the whole of my soul
A first meeting by chance, our hearts with fast rhythms >>
Seemed to fly off, to perch on branches like the birds of paradise

Seasonal Voyage Invitation
What is the distance from here to there?
Through your tone of voice, it seems so familiar, as if ones in the family
My hometown is so far away from your hometown in the distant Vietnam
Our chat in Vietnamese is still vibrating in my heart
In a short while, there is warm welcome between us
Your Boston voice is so sweet
While the cold wind comes to
In the middle of Autumn with full bloom of flowers and colored leaves
The leaves, the flowers, the sunshine and the wind intertwine
A gracious dance of nature
Our meeting of each other by chance on the phones
Though not seeing, it seems we've known each other for a long time
How many voyages that residents of Vung Tau have taken
While the ones in Pleiku faces the months of sunshine and rain?
It's Autumn, here and now
Please come to welcome the seasonal greeting of Autumn!

Hope
Inspired by the George Frederick Watts's painting, Hope.
The woman, bending upon the globe
In torn vestment, looking miserable with blind eyes,
Holding a harp with only one string
Who would guide her to the right directions
She fingered the string with heartening notes,
Now slightly intoxicated, now warm, now passionate
As a one cord guitar delivering through the endless music
Thousand of private thought felt in the melody
A hope left is still a hope of sowing happiness
Still a hope of going up, of struggling for the future
Still a hope of understanding, a hope for working toward tomorrow
For hope is the motivation for advance
Let's hope, let's believe in ourselves to build a new life
Despite failures or bad judgments in the past or in the present
Let's hope, let's struggle, don't hesitate
For hope is the mother of success, my friend
Nguyen Do
Presents Sent to You
I send you the sunshine
Of spring morning, of summer afternoon
To redden your cheeks, to tan your skin
To warm your heart despite the cruelties of life
I send you a space of my sky
The tireless clouds that float freely
The immense whiteness as a river of snow
Let your heart fly as the autumn leaves
I send you drops of morning dew
Shining on the top of the grass along the road
On the smiling flowers displaying their beauties
Radiating in the parks lovingly
I send you, my love, the smiles
The brilliant hopes of a beautiful day
Drops of dew scintillating as a thousand stars
Please hold fast to your wonderful dreams
Nguyen Do
Old Romance
Once romantic, forever romantic
A poem, a letter, exchanged
A smile, a pouting hidden deeply
A thousand of questions in our regards
Loved and loving, only kept in our hearts
It's because, my love, you're married
Too late for us, our dreams unfulfilled
Love in our hearts, love in our memories
Why you, people of Hue, are so romantic?
Just for writing poetry, do you like only to write poetry?
Why didn't you tell me that you loved me? I would have waited!
"It's too late, please don't stir up old memories!"
You said softly as to urge me:
"Forget me, we missed our chance, long ago!"
A day I walked in my white robe under the coconut trees
Forget me please, brother from An Cuu!"

Honeymoon Season
My sentiments seem to enter into the honeymoon season
So sweet, so full, so lovely
As the blooming flowers welcoming the Spring sunshine
Are exposing their splendid colors on the roads we walk
Our chance of meeting must have begun from former livers
Through the meandering, the bend, the turns of lives to seek each other
Over generations, over many upheavals and changes
We have finally met in a surprising joy
It’s not only in dreams, in illusions
Each verse, each painting stroke, each note of music
Reflects the high level and the immensity of our love
The precious and the sacred aroma of our love
Our love gets deeper and deeper each day
It’s light, it’s intoxicated, it’s passionate
It is as immense as the blue ocean,
as long as the sandy beach, as lovely as your hair
The wind of love is forever filled with our honeymooned lives
Nguyen Do
