Top 10 Beautiful Poems About the Sea and Islands

Writing About Him - The Soldier of the Sea
Author: Nguyen Thuy Duong

I write about you, the soldiers of the sea
Guarding with strength where the stormy waves rise
You stand watch at the horizon’s end
Ensuring peace and joy, your spirit ever bright.

Amidst the winds and clouds, in the vast sea
Your hands steady on the gun, guarding day and night
While the endless waves whisper softly
The sea's military song echoes with you.

Your firm grip on the rifle, your swift pace
Chasing away loneliness and silent fears
Protecting the homeland, the sea so vast
A deep love for the islands fills your heart.

The Paracels, the Spratlys, loved since forever
Admiring the shores and the restless waves
Fighting for the homeland in days of storms
Though the sea roars, you fear no danger.

For fame or gain, you care not
When the enemy still casts its shadow on your land
The sacred soil stained with sorrow’s tears
In the difficult islands, you fear nothing.

From miles away, the waves whisper softly
Sing about you, the heroic soldier of the sea
May you always be loved in this corner of the homeland
Where the sea is blue, the shore is white, and you stand strong.

Love for the Sea and Islands
Author: Gio Phuong Nam

I stand here on this precious island
Phu Quoc, so beautiful and rich
As the evening breeze stirs the waves
And the swallows soar above, embracing the silver waves.

Can you hear the stream singing
Named after the carving of Suoi Tranh
As we immerse ourselves like small stones
Listening to the lullaby of our homeland’s sea.

You take me to the hill of dreams
Picking wild berries on the island in the fading light
The purple hills and the old poem
Sipping from the cup of water, searching for a distant lover.

You place a necklace of pearls around my neck
As if holding a gift from the ocean
So that no matter the distance, we will always remember
The border guard, keeping our homeland safe.

Be the sea, my love
I will be the island
For love that endures for millennia
As the sea forever embraces the island in its arms.

The Sea, the Islands, and Me
Author: Nguyen Cao Quoc Hung

In the spring evening, I watch the drifting clouds
Thinking back to those days, filled with longing
Swallows fly to find their companions in the woods
They spread their wings, soaring high in the sky.

A feeling of wistfulness sneaks into my soul
The azure sea is still here, unforgotten
The old island, memories full and overflowing
The silver waves sparkle as the boat moves forward.

Goodbye to the unforgettable days
We savor the past that is now gone
The moon rises, casting its vast light
As the palm trees bend, their leaves flowing like a veil on the hill.

The sea still waits for someone
Eyes gazing at the distant stars in the vast galaxy
How beautiful the figure of the precious one
Walking on the soft sand along the endless shore.

The waves intertwine with the drifting clouds
The mountains and forests are covered with mist, intoxicated by love
The gentle melody of our days together
The moonlight reflects on the quiet sea, sparkling like the stars.

Dreaming of the Sea and Islands
Author: Ta Thang Hung

From the mainland, I dream of where you are
Dreaming of the distant, far-off shores
Where the azure sea stretches wide with thousands of waves
You watch over the sky and the islands of our homeland.

When the sea and sky are one deep shade of blue
Or when storms rage with furious winds
You remain steadfast with your comrades
No enemy can stop you from your duty.

You protect the vast sky, the deep sea
With a passionate heart that loves the homeland
Your heart beats for peace, fearless of any foe
For freedom, you stand strong against all threats.

If the enemy dares to advance recklessly
We will fight like the warriors of Bạch Đằng River
We will fight until they sink into the depths
Under the flag of our homeland, waving proudly.

I dream of you, smiling brightly
And sending your love through every wave
I receive it as the burning love
Of a soldier far from home, guarding the sea and islands.

I wish I could be there with you
Watching over the sea like the young soldiers
Oh, what joy it would be for the homeland
To call your name even in the deepest dreams.

Trường Sa's Promise
Author: Bui Nhat Nam

We meet in the spring, where the winds blow freely
We make a promise, as flowers bloom joyfully
The clouds drift, while the sun paints the flowers in vibrant colors
The breeze carries the fragrant scent of love.

We fall in love amid the vast sea and sky
The sea hums a lullaby, whispering words of affection
The seabirds shyly weave their love together
And the waves, intoxicated, bring dreams of a distant shore.

We promise each other in the calm of the peaceful sky
The fleet of ships is gone, leaving Trường Sa's islands undisturbed
We restore peace to our homeland's sea and islands
With hearts full of joy, and love that blossoms with each passing day.

The Soldier's Love for the Islands
Author: Love That Flees

There are times when storms rage
In the vast ocean, the islands hide beneath the waves
Yet he stands firm, steady in his soul
Braving all struggles, challenges, and peril.

The soldier, full of courage
His resolve unshaken, never uttering a sigh
For the people, life and death are inseparable
His oath of service unwavering, no matter the cost.

He sets aside dreams of a family
He sets off to repay the debt to the land
Will his homeland remain untouched?
Our love will remain steadfast, eternal.

And so, no thought of quitting ever crosses his mind
He ensures peace, secures the home
One day, he will return, united as one
To live a life of loyalty, with love to last forever.

The Seagull and the Island Soldier
Author: Văn Liêm

Where did the tiny seagull come from?
It landed on the trusted hands of the naval soldier…
The bird flew to the faraway island
Warming the heart of the soldier guarding the Spratly Islands.

The small seagull carries the warmth of home
It crosses stormy seas, facing the fiercest winds
To ease the soldier's longing
With his gun held firmly, watching over the sea and sky.

The Sea Calls
Author: Thiện Hoàng Văn

The sea has never been so loud
Waves roll in from the rocks of the Spratly Islands
Storms arise from nowhere, bringing ominous dreams
Spreading panic across the world.

Salty tears, bitter fish caught
Represent sweat, blood, and flesh
From the grains of sand, the coral reefs, the rocky shores
All bearing the marks of our ancestors.

The sea calls upon the children of the Vietnamese people
From every direction, to unite and return
To forge intellect, swearing an unwavering oath
Becoming the stronghold that defends our homeland’s seas.

The Sea's Call...
Poetry by Vũ Hùng Việt

Do you hear the sea's cry of sorrow
Carrying anger from the waves out in the vast ocean
It calls to its children, urging them to awaken
Do not drift into deep slumbers of dreams.

Do you hear the sea’s loud roar
Revealing the sorrow of our homeland
Thousands of small islands carry memories of love
Yearning for their children every second of every hour.

The sea’s call is like a mother's voice
Calling her children, urging them to hold onto love
To keep the peace of the islands with their strong hands
For it is blood and sweat, the very heart of the homeland.

Do you hear the lullaby of the sea
With its salty scent and the shade of green coconuts
Let’s protect the peaceful sea and islands together
So that boats can dock filled with fish.

Do you hear the sea's call with all your heart
The invaders are trampling on the waves
The blood of our people has been shed, oh my brothers
Let us unite and defend our seas together.

The Resounding Sea's Voice
Author: Đỗ Mỹ Loan

In the vast night
The sound of waves crashing
The voice of the sea sighs
As the enemy lurks, wildly scheming

The Vietnamese people, resilient and strong
Stand united against the violent invaders
Day and night on the sea islands
Countless brave men face life and death

After decades of peace in our land
We are once again troubled by a neighbor’s greed
The sea, filled with rage, rises in waves
The voice of the sea echoes with sorrow and longing

Vietnam, oh Vietnam
Still shining after four thousand years of history
With glorious victories that will forever endure
Chasing away enemies, bringing life back to the motherland

We hope for our country to no longer suffer
May all ambitions halt before it's too late
The sea's call is loud, urging us to act
Let us unite to protect the sea and our homeland!

Generations of youth have left for the nation
Taking up arms to keep the borders safe
Millions of hearts beat under the bright flag
Determined to sacrifice for the motherland!
