Top 12 Beautiful Poems on Farewells

'Ngày ra trường'

Poet: Hạ Quyên

That afternoon, farewells unfolded in many directions

The pages of life’s diary must turn to a new chapter

Here, unspoken bonds and fleeting moments remain

Untangled threads, still waiting to be woven into full ties

They desperately sought a shared path ahead

With heavy hearts, they spoke of parting ways

They wandered, yearning to reclaim lost days

They stumbled, unsure of their steps, lost in confusion

The cold dormitory was indifferent, offering no fond farewells

The quiet room was filled with emptiness, leaving them adrift

Life’s separations came without surprise

Yet the pain lingered, even after a sip of bitter wine

And so, reality called, and they had to face it

The age of love, like a dream, was fleeting

When the call came, they had to move forward

The once familiar streets led to monumental paths

No more illusions of thatched shelters

No love everlasting like the marketplace offers

But even as each took their own direction

How could they ever forget the farewell that evening?

In the bloom of youth, they shared both sweetness and sorrow

Like the spice that enhances the flavor of shallots

Remembering the time of 'selling sour fruits for sweet ones'

And hearing the sweetness of a pear blossom!

Even when memories fade with time

The farewell that evening, beneath the divided moon, remains etched in their hearts

How beautiful that dream, filled with anticipation

How beautiful that age, when they loved to gaze at the moon.

'Chiều xuân'

Poet: Tony Bui

Spring afternoon spreads over the violet river's face

Standing by your side, reluctant to say goodbye

The lingering kiss still intoxicates the senses

A naive heart dreams of a future full of happiness

The sweetness of love is a genuine, cherished treasure

Etched deeply within each other’s hearts

As time flows, everything changes its hue

Yet, love's heart remains strong, enduring forever

You leave, but I promise, you will return one day

I will wait, enduring the hardships of time

Then together, we will journey through paradise

Our lives will turn a page, and a new poem will begin

All the memories of you, I weave with care

Crafting a love sweater to send to a faraway land

Where spring thrives, imagining our homeland

Open the gift I have sent, my dearest...

'Hạ Ơi!'

Poem: Lợi Nguyễn Thành

A purple flower smiles softly

A garden of purple blooms, recalling the one who admired them!

Spring departs, leaving behind March's embrace

Summer arrives, bringing with it the serenade of cicadas...

Goodbyes as the red phoenix flowers fade

We gaze at each other, our hair lush and green

Now, the summer sun is fragile and fleeting

We meet again, yet our hair has turned to silver...

'Hè về nhớ bạn'

Poem: Phạm văn Xuân

A sudden rush of nostalgia as I watch the Phoenix petals fall

Remembering that summer, the memories linger endlessly

Saying goodbye to old friends, my heart heavy with longing

Parting from a loved one, my soul in turmoil

We had promised to reunite come autumn

But why does winter still feel so far away?

Who stands waiting at the schoolyard, waiting for whom?

Receiving this letter, do you remember this place?

'Đưa tiến'

Poem: An Giang Bùi

On the day of parting, Mother stood by as her daughter carried the child

Holding her little one close, Mother tearfully bid farewell

Nine years have passed, where Mother has toiled in the fields

Raising her child, month by month, year by year.

The army returns, and Mother guides her child to meet them

She watches with joy as the people laugh and converse

The evening sun has begun to wane, its golden light dimming

Mother tells her child, 'Wait a little longer...'

On the day we bid him farewell, Mother didn’t carry the little one

She longed for him, yet he hadn’t done enough to ease her heart

Her eyes red from crying, she embraced her child tightly

Her frail arms, like the bamboo branches by the gate.

The days passed, and Mother and I grew weary

Waiting for him to return, each second felt like eternity

Our love for him burdened our weary shoulders

Mother's back grew a little more bent with time.

Summer turned to winter, the cold winds biting

Mother and I eagerly awaited news of him

Counting the days, she said, 'Ten years have passed'

Not a single New Year has he spent with us.

This winter seems to bring an even sharper chill

In the deep forest, I wonder if he is cold?

Mother, in shock, received the new year's first news

A small piece of paper told her he was gone.

He sacrificed himself so that spring could bloom

So that children could run to school with joy

So that lovers could reunite with their loved ones

And so that laughter would no longer be interrupted.

For years, Mother remained silent, lost in her thoughts

She grieved for her daughter-in-law, unable to hold back her tears.

Until the day she saw her daughter off to her new home

Mother smiled, calling her 'my daughter' once more...

As she left, her daughter looked back

'I’ll come back to visit you, Mother dear.'

'Hạ thương'

Poem: Hoàng Minh Tuấn

Remember that summer when we had to part ways,

The sunset seemed still intoxicated by the summer heat,

The entire street was bathed in a crimson hue,

What did the phoenix flowers whisper, as their petals danced away!

The breeze returned, stirring up the passions of yesteryear,

The slanted moon stirred in my heart a longing ache,

The fragrant lotus carried its scent on the wind,

All the love still lingers, my dear!

My heart wavers, caught in a memory,

Morning dew clings to my lashes,

The moon that night bore a sorrowful glow,

Echoing the sound of a heart filled with unresolved emotions...

Now that I’ve returned, do you still remember, still care?

Did our love ever ignite such passion?

Does the breeze softly kiss your lips in secret?

And so, we remain...

In the warmth of a 'HẠ THƯƠNG' summer!

Goodbye, Parting

Poem by Cúc Họa Mi

I apologize for the old memories of love,

That now rest quietly behind the hills,

Years of passion and distance,

Now transformed into memories, bidding farewell.

The affection, the quarrels, though tears were shed,

Have dissolved into exhaustion and sorrow,

The color of your lips has faded,

Why blame the butterflies for their farewell scent?

Now, I write my heart’s thoughts,

Sorry for the anger, the sorrow I carry...

The bond has broken, leaving me with regrets,

Half of my life wandering in guilt.

Consider this a love lost, a broken thread,

Not your fault, nor mine, but just fate’s fragile weave,

Let’s end this, and part ways... farewell.

'Village Love'

Poem by Phạm Quang Thu

It’s fate that brought us together,

Only to separate with sorrowful hearts,

Not returning to the familiar places,

But hoping to meet again, to sit together!

Sitting together, free and happy,

After parting, still remembering, with yearning!

Oh, the twists and turns of love’s path,

Gray hair bearing the weight of a troubled heart.

I glimpsed you by the village shrine,

Afraid to meet your gaze, I quietly returned home,

Only to wander back out again,

But you were no longer there, and the sadness lingered.

Oh, the sky remembers and loves us,

As the rain soaks through the bonds of our hearts,

My child has grown, so beautiful, so wise,

Your child now understands the language of love.

Our children don’t understand the complexity of life,

But they still play together like old times,

You greet your child wherever they go,

But I can’t bring myself to even say a simple greeting.

Because love has no end,

And the yearning for you, remains... a love lost in the village.

A Time We Loved

Poem by Cảnh Hưng.

Has our love come to an end, my dear?

When the heart has turned to stone, cold and unforgiving

I count the hours late into the night, staring at the sky, asking myself,

What fire or smoke consumed the dream of love we once shared?

I recall one afternoon, with the sky a soft purple and the rain falling gently

You, shy and hesitant, reached out and took my hand

Just a brief touch, but my heart burned with the intensity

My blood raced, my face flushed, my legs weak with emotion.

One word, 'I love you,' but my lips struggled to say it

Imperfect, I gazed at you with longing in my eyes

Were you unaware, or simply pretending not to notice?

You asked coldly, 'Isn't it cold tonight?'

Tonight feels desolate, as I stare into the boundless dark

Echoes from the past stir within me, rising from the depths of my soul

Memories of a time long ago return, vivid and unrelenting

And they persist, haunting me without end.

You have gone to your husband's home, far away

Are you happy, or is there bitterness in your heart?

When the night falls and silence takes over,

I remember you, distant, and tears fall from my eyes.

A Poem Left Behind

Poem by Chu Minh Khôi

I search for the summer

On an afternoon with no cicadas singing

I seek the flame tree's blossoms

When the pride of the purple flowers blooms red.

The ban flower keeps its eyes open, awake

Its petals weeping words of goodbye

Weeping willow hair sways with the song

Lulling the lotus flowers to sleep.

Don't carve love into the trees

Don't cast your affection upon the grass

A kiss unspoken, lost in the breeze

Fades away in the lake full of water.

Do not cling to the clouds, my dear

Do not weep for autumn before its time

Tomorrow, we will part ways

Our hearts scattered by the winds.

If you're sad, sing your heart out

Don't hold on to the words of parting

Tomorrow, we will be apart

The lecture halls will weep in silence.

Where can we find the color of flowers

The violet hue of memories creeping in the afternoon

The purple flowers in our notebooks

Reminding us of our student days.

I turn over the memories of a restless time

The years gone by without peace

Please help me find those old days

And send them back to the land of no name.

The Sad Wing

Poem by Nghiêm Mẫn

We part ways, go ahead, my dear, go away

Leave me alone with the pain of love

In the final moment, I realize my foolishness

You are innocent, pure, to the point of breaking my heart

I always dream, and I still always hope

To hold you in my arms, with yearning so deep

Our hearts singing in unison

So that the tree of life may forever remain green

But our love is not like that, oh dear

And life is not as simple as it seems

In the final moment, our hearts beat out of sync

Leading us both to separate paths

Do not be sad, can you see out there

The sky remains blue with hope's hue

I pray that you meet the lover of your dreams

We part ways! Goodbye, the sad wing.

JUST II

Poem by Ngô Quang Tuấn

Just a streak of sunlight at the horizon

Why does parting still leave us tangled in our hearts?

Just the fresh green of the areca palm

When paired with the betel leaf, it turns to ink

Just a tiny wish

A lifetime spent, never fulfilling the dream

Just a moment of childishness

Anger turned both banks of the river of our homeland

Just years of passionate pursuit

When I left, forgetting the way back to you

Sadness and joy entwined

Now you understand the essence of our love

Ngô Quang Tuấn
