Top 15 Poems Celebrating Valentine's Day

BETWEEN LATE
Hoàng Chẩm

My hand pillows your dreams in pink hue
In my heart, I send a bit of vastness
Eyes hazy, night tilting in dreams
Face hidden, turning, grasping the lingering scent

There's a lullaby for the direction of separation
Each night, I hear the footsteps adding pain
Half sorrow, half tangled hair
You whispered love, before and after

Lulling to sleep with lips... tender, like spring
Exchanging glances, lingering in faintness
The night hasn't burned, life forgotten
You lean into the verse, holding close

Lulling with thirsty words... dreams still intact
The maze spreads wide, hands weaving in the night
Pillows tilt, fragrance of love ignites the sun
Lighting the lamp of love, heart filled

SPONTANEOUS VALENTINE
By Phan Thu Hà

Could it be the spring breeze
That paints your cheeks with a blush?
A playful scarf dances with joy
Fragrance drifting amidst the vastness

Could it be the newly blossomed flower
Exuding a sweeter scent than a smile?
Bluebells just bloomed on the green grass
Love's essence intoxicating in the fresh spring

You, along with spring, stroll the streets
Today, amidst the chill and blooms
A beautiful rose in your delicate hand
Who is it for, you wonder and ask?

That love and rose of yours
Should be for me, your beloved
So the tender buds awaken
To the spring's jubilant melody on branches

Seeing you... oh, how nostalgic
For the spring days of yore
A couple in love making promises
That linger till this very hour

Youthful spring does not return
But the beautiful spring still arrives
For love remains fervent
Behold the green grass by the riverbank!

Catching myself humming softly
Or the whispers of the heart
Amidst a world of flowers and grass
I present to myself... the spring

VALENTINE!

By Phan Thúc Định

Tomorrow, the day of love's feast
Borrowing clumsily affectionate verses from life
Wandering to fulfill one's life
No chocolate, just exchanging smiles!

The spring sky sprinkles gentle dew
Red sesame blooms, white jasmine blossoms fragrant
The sun beckons the standing grass
The young rice sways, the wind compensates for the winter!

There's a village girl upset with her husband
Dragging her feet to the riverbank, stirring up the water
The husband borrows Valentine's Day
Offering flowers, instantly brightening her face!

Stealing glances, suddenly feeling joy
Connecting love like threads sent with the clouds
Misty amidst the boundless realm
If the heart stirs, wishing you'd remember me...

Kneeling before Valentine's Day!
By Cụ Định

CELEBRATING VALENTINE'S DAY
Poem by Hồng Ngoãn

Today is Valentine's Day
Wishing for couples to always be close together
Firm love before lasting commitment
Holding hands until old age with silver hair

Giving each other wholehearted love
Even in difficulties, never parting
United in facing the challenges
Through storms and tempests, love still shines

Sharing the same blanket, the same pillow, the same bed
Don't let the rosy lips and cheeks fade
Five winters will end the long night
Don't let the 'I' divide the love

Even if not beautiful or charming
Heaven has destined us to be together
Fate has brought us under the same roof
Don't let fleeting desires separate us!

BLISS
Poem by Trương Túy Anh
(On Valentine's Day, 14th February)

Do you remember, dear
Fifty years ago?
Sitting under the cherry tree
We made our vows and promises

Spring rain gently falls
Droplets on your hair
My shoulder tenderly embraces
We hold hands, intoxicated

The cherry tree has aged
You've become a Mrs.
Time flies by too quickly
I am now called a Mister

Our love, so beautiful, so deep
Happiness with children and grandchildren
Like fragrant roses
Spreading sweet scent

This spring, we celebrate
Fifty golden years of marriage
Amidst laughter and joy
Walking together through life

COMPENSATORY KISS
Hồ Viết Bình

On the anniversary of love (14/2)
Kiss a lot, my dear
To compensate for the youthful days
When I'm far away on the battlefield

Long time no return home
To give you a kiss
Thought we'd be apart forever
Separated and farewell

Nights longing for the one who left
You hug the pillow for a kiss
In this young man's life, no regrets
Just love for you, alone

Now near, yet far away
My dear! Let me compensate with a kiss!
You smile softly
Displaying your teeth to chew betel.

VALENTINE
Cảnh Hưng

My love is like crystal
While you are the sunbeam
Merging the taste of love
Sweet and profound

The sunbeam never fades
The crystal never shatters
Passing through storms
Still intact within us

I am the vast ocean
You are the thousand waves
A thousand years linger
Scraping the cliffs of longing

Valentine comes again
Tinged with millions of roses
Love remains beautiful forever
Deep and profound

A THOUSAND TIMES I LONG TO SAY I LOVE YOU
Poem by: Tony Bui
'Penned for Valentine's Day 14/02, the day of love. Dedicated to my beloved.'

A thousand times I long to say I love you dear
Though I know a thousand times may not suffice
For the love within my heart, I hold so near
More than a thousand times, I whisper with no vice

You and I, we've grown so fond, so close and near
Do you know, my dear, how much I cherish you?
But love's not always rosy, nor always clear
Hence, you bear burdens, worries, troubles to accrue

Despite knowing that beyond letters, words, and lines
My love for you remains vibrant, crimson, bright
Flowing steady as the stream that steadfastly aligns
To carry you ashore, under stars, in the night

For you, a thousand times, I craft these verses true
And my longing for you fills each page, each note
I only wish you wouldn't feel so sad and blue
Instead, believe - believe in a dream we wrote…

I've loved you since the days of yore till now
Forever yearning, in anticipation, I await our meet
Time passes, but memories of us, they endow
Never will they break, never will they retreat

My love for you, a shore embraced by waves adored
A thousandfold in loyalty, in longing, in plight
Though life may throw countless obstacles toward
My heart remains steadfast, yearning for your light

A thousand times I yearn to whisper 'I love you'
And I hope a thousand times you understand true
My life, incomplete without your tender view
Your presence beside me, each dawn, each dew

Do you know, my dearest, the love I hide?
Trust in me, trust in our life, my dear
Believe in love's path, where no shadows abide
Never will you be alone, never will you fear

Be merry in each morning's gentle breeze
Or in nights where winds at thresholds knock
The lake's reflection shines brighter, with ease
For you, my love, illumine the moonlit dock…

FATE, JUST A SINGLE WORD
Đinh Thị Hiển

Every time Valentine's Day nears
My heart recalls past loves and tears
Waiting tonight by the coconut tree
Remembering, you'd come early, we'd watch a movie
Hearing my heart race in wild glee
Arriving on time, no bother for thee
Then waiting, waiting, so endlessly
But after so long, I had to retreat
Thinking you were taken ill, my heart skipped a beat
Restless, I couldn't sit, I couldn't stand
Next day, the news made me go unplanned
You, my lover, didn't show, went to find another
I chose to be left, to love the future father
Defeated, I admitted my mistake
For loving the wrong person, my heart did ache
Next year, I met someone new
Handsome, smart, loving, and true
We built a family, my happiness grew
With the love I found, always faithful and true
Recently, I met you once more
You're not happy, sorrow fills your core
Because your wife looks down on you
The big-shot image she misconstrues
And outsiders mock you too
For being 'all talk, no action' it's true
Why not set things right, straight and square?
Instead of poking fun at our own kin, so fair
Love, it's splendid and bright
Let's love faithfully to keep it alight

ON THE PEAK OF CLOUDS!

Lan Tran

(Valentine's words wanted to say!)

We ascend together to the peak of clouds
Gathering shooting stars, admiring the bright moonlight
And picking the most romantic constellations
Decorating the castle: myriad stars of the night sky.

In the vast happiness so tranquil
Rosy wine caresses lips in intoxication
For your eyes, deep love shines
No worries to disturb as we sit and gaze at the cosmos

A moment of peace building dreams of Golden Palace
We, the King and Queen, fervent by each other's side
A sweet moment of blissful union
Pledging vows of enduring love

May time grant us the magic
To sink deeply into the infinite tonight
So love may prevail without hindrance
And the castle remains atop the clouds...!

THE LANGUAGE OF A LOVING HEART

Poem by: Nguyễn Ruyến

This heart of mine I reserve solely for you
For I believe that's just enough
As life within me I've always cherished
Its sprouting vigor only with you it flourishes

From strangers to intimately entwined
Where sweetness and bitterness intertwine
For it's not just a single shade of pink
But sometimes we sink into silent thoughts

Instead of words, relying on letters
Unable to express the crimson heart fully
For you to measure the strength to withstand storms
With doubts on how to navigate the shore

And how many times I've sought solace in poetry
Unable to find it in words or books
To soothe and ease your worries
Yet keeping the dream beautifully preserved

Loving you from that moment till now
With yearning and anticipation for meetings
Love built on affection and remembrance
Surpassing a thousand obstacles, isn't it, my love?

Love within me like waves kissing the shore
Always surging with myriad longings
Though hurdles may still linger
But trust will never fail in anticipation

This heart, with truthful words of love
Feel it as you've understood before
That the absence of your shadow
In my heart, even in the twilight hours

Forever heavy, oh beloved
Trust in my heart, my love
True love will encounter smooth sailing
We can't be apart, my dear

Be joyful in the gentle morning mist
You'll see golden sunlight knocking on the door
And the voice of my heart
Still warm and nostalgic, like days of yore...

Ninh Binh, 14 02 18
NGUYÊN RUYẾN

Amidst the whispering winds of nostalgia, a tale unfurls, painted in the hues of destiny. Its protagonists? A humble pair of sandals.

Once upon a time, in the realm of poetic musings, a bard wove his inaugural verse, a tribute to his beloved: the faithful sandals.
