WINTER SEA
Poet: Tony Bui
(Written about the sea in Da Nang, a winter memory)
The winter afternoon sea appears blurred, as if in a dream
Waves crash violently, their ancient sound hitting the shore
It speaks of my longings, of waiting, of my heart's desires
I love you with a foolish heart, so small and fragile
Yet my soul clings to the blood-red river
The song of longing echoes, as my love grows clearer
The empty shore is just us, in the same shadow
The waves kiss the shore, singing beautiful dreams each night
The sea today, its waves gentler, brings peace to my heart
The waves wash over me, filled with unspoken thoughts
Whispering your name in the depths of my yearning
My heart declares that I will love you forever
Each line of poetry blends with the tears of my life
Just like our love, never parting from you
The evening waves whisper, a thousand years of tenderness
Silent words we share, and we'll never be apart.

2. Poem: THE WANDERING LIFE
THE WANDERING LIFE
Poet: Tony Bui
Late night
The horse whinnies in the distance
Alone, walking through the blizzard, who notices my sorrow?
My shoulders bare
Covered in the dust of bitterness
Lonely nights in unfamiliar rooms
Where to find
half of my heart?
To ease the cold of life, to soothe my restless soul
Where do I send
the sorrow that lingers?
The cup of wine runs dry, and I release a sad poem
The words of poetry
Drunk, spiraling in madness
Soft tunes played in the wind, lost in my heart
Suddenly awake
Dreaming of your image.
The willow branches bend gracefully beside me
Your skin as fair as jade, with ivory lashes
My heart beats faster, filled with emotions unspoken.
The midnight moon,
Seemingly angry, silent
The love of a wanderer, whole and true, loving you...

LOVE ACROSS THE SEA 2
Poem: Tony Bui
The longing for you burns deeply within my heart
My gaze toward the homeland of my mother, yearning endlessly
Across foreign lands, my heart aches each passing day
I call your name in the warmth of my dreams
I miss you, despite the distance and mountains in the way
My heart counts the days, hoping to see you again
Your shadow appears, making me miss you more
My love for you, forever etched in my heart, never fades
The evening falls, snowflakes carry my sorrow
Restlessly, I toss and turn through the long nights
North and South, we're pulled in different directions
But my love for you is steadfast, it has only one path
Wait for me, our love will reunite
Fate and destiny will weave our lives together
Our future, bright with promise and hope

BELOVED
Poem: Tony Bui
I send you these words, filled with love and care
My feelings for you are genuine and full of warmth
I offer you the memories of my heart
From the time we shared, so tender and dear
The flow of life moves on, but my thoughts of you remain
My heart is lost without your presence
I call your name, searching for you in the silence
As the sunset fades, evening dew blankets the earth
My heart swells, I kiss you softly in my dreams
My pulse quickens, and my poetry turns bittersweet
Your name, I write it carefully and hold it close
In my peaceful place, I search desperately for you
Where you are, my heart melts
Our love will endure, forever and always
In my dreams, I find you at the break of dawn
On a cold winter night, I embrace your image
Without you, my love would mean nothing
My heart would wander, lost in the graveyard of broken dreams
Your smile, a blooming flower on my lips
I love you, I offer you my whole life
Let's hold hands, never let go
In your embrace, I softly whisper
Rest, my love, as I sing a lullaby just for you
While I stay awake in the distance, dreaming of you
In a warm bed, I long for your presence
In our paradise, our love grows deeper
Isn't this happiness sweet, my love?

TWELVE MONTHS OF WAITING
Poem: Tony Bui
In December, my heart feels lost
Your image shines brightly in my sleep
The memories of the past rush in like a flood
Filling my heart, keeping me warm
The cold mist of December blankets everything
Delicate daisies play with the wind
Thoughts of you fill me with longing
Unable to escape the yearning on long nights
December, a month full of memories that linger
The wild sunflowers bloom, offering sweet fragrances of love
The golden hues of autumn still linger
Our first kiss, unforgettable and everlasting
The river of our homeland flows gently, undisturbed
The evening fades, and night falls with a quiet hush
In the embrace of twilight, our lips meet, awkward yet sweet
The sweet scent of life mingles with our love
December, please wait for me
Our love will reach the shores of happiness
Alone under the moonlight, I lie awake
The burning flames of my love ignite the verses

EMPTY SPACES
Poem: Tony Bui
Where is the lingering echo?
All around, silence fills the days
Winter arrives with light, faded snow
Loneliness from a foreign land, I am alone
Autumn fades, the moon hides its shape
In the stillness of the midnight street, I walk alone
Years of solitude, what remains of spring?
Who do I miss, as my heart trembles with longing?
The late hours, dreams wearing me thin
Beside you, every second is beautiful
Life’s bloom unfolds with longing
Through the mist of autumn, I walk alone
Wild chrysanthemums scent the air with their fragrance
The flames of passion stir, the waves crashing
The rain-soaked words blend into a kiss

LOYAL PURPLE
Poem: Tony Bui
I know you’ve always loved the color purple
Like the bittersweet parting after school
The pink phoenix flowers you gently held each day
The first page of a diary, filled with memories
I still know your love is a mystery so profound
A gift you gave me, the solution to life's equation
Your love shines like the light of dawn
You soothe my life with the purple petals of pride
Your embrace and sweet kiss, like nectar
You whisper softly, “I love the color of loyal purple”
Such simple joy, yet so deeply fulfilling
Your name echoes in my chest, the love trembling

THE LAND OF HAPPINESS
Poem: Tony Bui
I seek you amidst life’s swirling path
Like a sailboat on vast, endless seas
I hope for a life that flows calmly ahead
Having loved you, I hold no regrets
Even if life is a journey of hardships
With fate’s cruel hand, I remain adrift
Yearning to set alight a deep desire
To bury sorrow beneath the cold, snowy night
In this strange land, no longer am I lonely
Thinking of you fills my heart with longing
I silently wish for one more miracle
To send you my first sweet kiss
My love, we will never be apart
To be near you, to understand the depths of affection
Our bond has sworn to always walk the same path
Your love blooms, bringing forth the land of happiness

THE SONG OF THE HEART
Poem: Tony Bui
I compose this song and offer it to you
Along with a tender kiss from my lips
The words are steeped in the purple hues of flowers
Filling my soul with sweet, serene dreams
I carve your name deep within my heart
With every verse, I search for meaning
Your image, my beloved, and the promises we made
The memories of the past, kept alive in my faith
Remembering the sunset, soft in its golden glow
The kite soaring high, its string flowing freely
By your side, feeling shy yet deeply moved
The flame of love between us burns brightly
I dream of the day we are united as one
Holding your love, never to let it go
Savoring the sweetness of life in our shared dreams

THE DESIRE OF SIXTY YEARS OLD
Poem: Tony Bui
At sixty, the morning sun shines brightly
And my heart stirs with the vibrant hues of flowers
Still in love with the purple of the evening sky
My heart races, breaking like a child’s joy
At sixty, there’s still much to discover
With pride, I hold the health of a spring bloom
Wishing to love, regardless of distance
Still in awe, bathing in a cool stream
At sixty, love stretches vast and endless
Offering to you all my hopes and dreams
Despite struggles, we live joyfully
First kisses and laughter, the joy of happiness...
At sixty, life is still full of fire
Burning brightly in the rhythm of love
Passions rise, blooming on my rosy cheeks
The dreams of love endure through the dark nights
At sixty, my heart still weaves the fabric of desire
It beats fiercely, seeking love with every breath
A love that continues to seek its place
With you, my poetry, our sweet love song...

11. Poem: THERE'S A DAY
THERE IS A DAY
Poem: Tony Bui
There is a day when I search through memories
Of our love, hidden deep within my heart
Seeking the fragrance of the old purple flowers
A feeling of yearning, a love that lingers
There is a person I will always love
Hand in hand, walking through autumn afternoons
Two hearts united, an immortal soul
Our first kiss, intense, sweet on our lips
There is something that stays with me forever
The vows we made, promises unbroken
We leaned on each other, sharing those words
Our love will remain complete, till the end of time
Nothing can separate us, not even the years
Though time may fade like dust in the wind
This love will never die, it will burn eternally
Our story will never fade away
In my heart, your image is etched forever
I still love you with every beat of my heart
My heart overflows with happiness for you...

DESTINY
Poem: Tony Bui
The sunset drapes the sky in golden light
Who weaves the threads of fate that bind us?
We meet, never to part
Our hearts exchange love, warm and true
The threads of destiny weave a love so deep
Our hearts are etched with this eternal bond
We vow to stay faithful, side by side
The moon guides our path, leading us together
Fate has united us, despite the distance
The matchmaker ties our lives in love
We pledge to keep our love strong
The full moon shines to keep us near
Love sometimes calls for purity
The old man of the moon binds our hearts
The road of fate can be difficult
Anger and regret only bring pain
But we choose to let go of sorrow
Let poetry bridge the gap of our destiny
Our love is a dream of fairy-tales
Our hearts race with joy, smiling brightly
A kiss full of life’s sweetness
To love you, to promise a lifetime together...

13. Poem: IF ONLY WE HAD MET EARLIER
IF ONLY WE HAD MET EARLIER
Poem: Tony Bui
If only we had crossed paths sooner
The loneliness wouldn't have lingered
Instead, we would have found love and longing
Sending messages, making plans for us
If only we had met earlier
The solitude would have been eased
The wounds of the heart would have healed
We would have spent carefree days together
There would have been many more moments
Of sweet goodbyes and tender kisses
Our hearts would have overflowed with emotion
Happiness would have filled our days and nights
Our love would have been calm and beautiful forever
There would have been dinners filled with your laughter
With you, I wouldn't have needed to go anywhere
By your side, even as our hair turns grey
