Top 20 Beautiful Love Poems by Poet Khánh Hà MaiLan

Walking beside Father

How small I felt

Just like when I was young

Father took me to school

Generosity filled with love

Vast as the sky and the sea

Life without Father cannot be

I grew up, became strong

Now I'm known far and wide

My hair tinged with silver

Even though I'm a grandmother now

I'm still small to Father...

Now that Father is gone

I long for him to return

Like a tall tree offering shade

Where I can hide beneath its branches...

Come here, come to the sea with me

The seagulls drift along with the waves

Watch the sunrise, feel our hearts come alive

The salty breeze and the wind on this evening's shore

Come, the sea waits for you every day

The waves crash against the shore, full of longing

Our love will cross any distance, no matter how far

Listen to the sea sing a song of love

Come with me, let's watch the sunset by the sea

Each sail drifts gently, finding its way home

With you by my side, life feels eternally young

The sea kisses the soft sands, so tender

The sun has set, but the sea never sleeps

Hand in hand, our lips touch with warmth

The sea has always held deep meaning, so profound

Sweet and salty, it echoes the depth of my love

How many years have passed since you’ve rested in the earth?

The trees lull you to sleep, their leaves falling with the seasons.

How many years have gone by, and Mother’s tears have dried up?

Her shadow growing thinner, her hair turning white with time.

Counting all the hardships and struggles she faced

Like the golden leaves returning to their roots.

Mother departed in sorrowful silence,

Leaving her child alone in the sparse woods.

We searched for you, through sun and rain

The roads of Truong Son covered in grass and leaves.

In the vast wilderness, the green forest and rocky mountains

There is a path, carved deep within our hearts.

Your spirit, so sacred, guided us in our dreams

Our comrades’ tears blur, their hearts torn with grief.

We light incense to ease our heavy hearts,

And amidst the smoke, I see Mother’s smile!

Why did you leave so suddenly?

When the evening sun had not yet set?

Leaving the next day as a distant memory?

The sky resents the blazing sun.

The clouds drift aimlessly, sorrowful and lost.

The evening filled with longing and regret.

The night becomes an unfinished story,

Leaving sadness lodged in my heart.

Why did you leave so soon?

When autumn had just arrived?

Autumn couldn’t hold on to its beauty,

And sadness poured with the autumn rain.

And now, we are apart.

Autumn is not to blame,

For I couldn’t keep you with me.

You left,

The sky mourns with pain...

What do your eyes say that sparkle so bright?

What are your eyes thinking with such mysterious depth?

What secret lies behind those curled lashes?

What treasure is hidden in that bright gem?

That gem makes so many hearts yearn.

The depth of those eyes pulls in those who fall in love.

Are your eyes like the early morning sunlight?

Your gaze isn’t like a violin, or a flute,

So why does it carry such a melody of joy and sorrow?

I have always hoped, deep within my soul,

Your eyes remain always joyful and bright,

Like the wind lifting a crimson sail,

Like clouds bringing rain to parched fields,

Like the sun causing a thousand flowers to bloom,

Like poetry and music that sings to my heart.

Forever, for all eternity, your sparkling happiness...

I miss so much, an autumn in Hanoi

The golden tamarind season, the fragrant flower milk

The season of green sticky rice, the season of lovers united

Drunk beside you, in the autumn afternoon with falling leaves

The scent of flower milk drifts through the streets, intoxicating

It holds my steps, my heart unwilling to leave

The West Lake in the evening, the pale reflection on the water

Do you hear, the melody of love and longing?

Autumn is fading, time rushing by

It doesn’t wait for anyone, making the heart restless

Faraway islands, the longing never diminishes

Love so deeply, even though we are far apart

The island without you, the longing grows more intense

Do you know, in Hanoi, about this feeling?

I miss it so much, even though I can’t return to visit

Every night, my thoughts reach out to you

I wish to be with you, to live in the soft happiness

To fulfill the dream after a thousand nights of longing

If you love me, please don’t cry

Let our love sing the song of autumn forever.

You, my dear, are always sweet and full of warmth

Captivating my heart, making it impossible to forget

I wish for our happiness to always be peaceful

We blend together in endless nights of passion

Hand in hand, overcoming all obstacles

I stand by your side, building our sweet happiness

We are intoxicated by the stars in the sky

Even the universe spins in jealousy

Love doesn't require much thought

No need to count, measure, or compare

We hold hands, soothing all pain

No matter the storms or life's challenges

Thirty years is not just about sweetness

Even though we've been through storms

Lucky to have you! The perfect woman

Our family is reunited in happiness

Thirty years, happiness overflowing

Now we have a whole clan of children

Even though our age has grown

Our happiness remains whole, complete

Autumn has passed, and winter returns as expected

We are together, burning with desire

My love for you will always overflow

For countless lifetimes...

Only you

...I Love You!

I met you amidst the tides of life

When we were still not yet meant to be

Then time, like a magic spell, worked

Bringing you close, making my heart race

All the love erupted inside my chest

Burning within me, a sweet happiness

When your heart also burned with desire

And we melted together in each other's breath

Lost in dreams, side by side, like flowers

By your side, a love that knows no bounds

We share our love through endless nights

Our love will always remain passionate

You are the flower...

I am the sweet nectar of life...

This year, you turn fifteen.
The full moon shines bright in the joy of mother.

Mother is not old, yet no longer young.

I pray to stay with you through life’s journey.

I wish for you a life full of fortune.

I hope your future will be brilliant and bright.

Life loves you just as you have loved others.

You grow up, spreading your fragrance and beauty.

Mother and father promise to be your guiding light.

We will be the pillar for you as you step into life.

Your childhood is like countless rays of sunshine.

Your own sky always bright and shimmering.

You feel warmth in the embrace of family.

Full of love, so your heart will never feel strange.

As mother and father, life is always wide open for you.

We welcome you with love.

In the happiness of love.

He returned that day in December

The sky was not the bright blue, and the golden sun faded

The cold of winter made me suddenly long for someone

The night grew colder with each passing dawn

That day he returned in December

Winter’s sorrow had fallen with the morning dew

I heard you whisper in the old garden

And it felt as though we were back in the past

Does autumn lose its deep purple hue?

Does it pale the rose of your cheeks?

Does it dry the cloudlike hair of a young girl?

Does the garden still bloom with sorrow's white flowers?

Winter suddenly became you – You were winter

Quiet and deep, fermenting the rich wine of longing

I want to light up a thousand rays of warmth

To chase away the cold of your heart...

Burn the bright flames...

In a peaceful land, you have all gone away

So much sorrow is etched deeply in the eyes of Mother

This loss is immense, far from light

Rest assured, sleep well, dear brothers

The sky and sea today are bright and clear

Yet millions of hearts remain choked with farewell

The Nation is at peace, everyone knows this well

But it comes with blood, sacrifice, and loss

How many of you bravely gave yourselves

So that today, our country can sing in triumph

How many hearts now overflow with joy

Your deeds are forever etched in our hearts.

This Christmas, we are together

Praying for a miracle on this holy day

Joyfully by the children near the sparkling church

The morning lights up with the glow of Christmas

Does the Lord above know?

In this earthly realm, we continually dream

For peace to come to every corner of the world

And for all to live in eternal harmony

Joy fills the air, happiness flows freely

Hope abounds as hearts brim with delight

The bells toll, and a hymn echoes in the stillness

Countless souls are waiting for the Lord above

Softly, the sweet words of the Lord ring out

From His message, deep within our souls

Live joyfully, letting go of anger and strife

Work on improving yourself

Love others, live with meaning and kindness

For happiness will multiply, bringing endless joy.

On this winter afternoon, I see your fragile form

I feel the season shedding its leaves beneath the grey sky

Suddenly, I hear the wind whisper

And I realize that I still owe life a verse

The silence is profound, as quiet as a page

The cold wind blows, waiting for someone

Time is vast, and the months stretch endlessly

Yet my verse falters, a note missed on the string

I sit and sigh in deep thought

The taste of life is as bittersweet as a thousand poems

Where is the dream?

Where is reality? Where is the empty pursuit of fame?

Gone is the time of youthful innocence

Time flies swiftly, soon to be grey hair

Using poetry to paint your solemn lips

Sketching the messy hair, forgotten in silence

The season passes, winter draws near

I startle, dropping the season upon golden leaves...

For a moment this afternoon, I stand by the lake

My soul drifts away, carried by a dream

The flute's sound, echoing through the ages

Let the green waters of the lake remain lost in thought

A fleeting dream, connecting earth and sky

The deep river, the verdant mountain, now side by side

But why do I see that autumn afternoon

You stand by the lake, lonely in the shadow

You do not transform into a mountain, gazing at the river

I am not the river, not yet a bride

In loving you, I vow to wait

Through all the rising waters, I still long for you...

The garden at home, with its trees and blooming flowers

The fragrance drifts softly, lingering everywhere

Pure white Minh Châu, radiant and flawless

Peach blossoms, chrysanthemums are smiling, welcoming Spring

Mulberry flowers, their appearance gentle and thoughtful

The two trees stand side by side, looking near and far

The sweet scent of roses spreads far

There, the bougainvillea vine waves, greeting me warmly

Spring has arrived, lively and joyful

Hundreds of flowers bloom, celebrating the arrival of Spring

Although I am now in my sixties

I still joyfully gather with my grandchildren to welcome Spring

I am still sturdy like a pine tree

And my mind remains sharp for the next generation

I am still keen and alert

I remain a pillar for my grandchildren to rely on

In my free time, I still write a few verses of poetry

I am still happy, healthy, and dream of the beautiful life

I am still in love with this vibrant life

And feel the grandeur of nature when Spring comes.

The raindrops fall gently

Next to my cup of coffee, now dissolved

The afternoon rain falls endlessly

Filling my heart with love and joy

The rain falls upon the leaves

Whispering softly like the voice of the soul

Love is like this

When I am far from you, I yearn

The rain speaks to the green leaves

With a flower just blooming

The rain tells me something

Why are my eyes so bright?

The afternoon rain on the streets

Soaks your hair gently

I came to you from nowhere

And kissed your lips warmly

The small street, with rain falling

Suddenly warms my heart

In your gentle embrace

I am overwhelmed with happiness...

Oh March! Take me back to those memories

My mother gave birth to me, in the small alley, where flowers were scattered

Our family waited in joyful anticipation, a happiness that overflowed

The air was filled with the subtle fragrance of pomelo flowers

Oh March! The bunches of flowers, so full of confusion

The purple of the bush flowers, the white-pink of the apricot blossoms

I can never forget the rich fragrance of pomelo flowers

The red of the kapok flowers and the faint purple of the eggplant blossoms

March comes calling, the trumpet flowers shyly unfolding

Welcoming summer with the deep purple hue of the sim flowers

Joy arrives, with the happiness of a fruitful harvest

The longing memories, sweet and strangely nostalgic

The birthday brings back so many precious memories

The gratitude I have for my parents is something I will never forget

If I could make a wish

I would return to being a well-behaved child

Life is still filled with challenges

But hope continues to fill my heart

The devotion of my parents is something I will always remember

For all my life, I will never forget...

If time could turn back to the past

I would still love the profession I chose

For this work has given me countless flames

Day and night, they burn bright and surge

With my students, I always feel so happy

Because I see childhood and memories

The innocence suddenly floods my mind

Planting the seeds and letting dreams soar

Though I know life isn't as beautiful as poems

There are difficulties, life is still tight

But I see the beautiful eyes of children

Overflowing with love and kindness

I wish to send to all corners of the world

The spirit of teaching on this joyous day

Not with flowers and leaves, just heartfelt words

A few lines of confessions in my poem

The woman who steps past fifty

Knows how to hide her tears behind a smile

She appears bold to mask the ache inside

Gently accepting life's gains and losses

She dares to let go to find her smile again

Learning to appreciate the little joys

She remains silent, never asking for more

She endures, overcoming moments of doubt

Beyond fifty, she is accustomed to drifting

Her companion is the waves, no matter how they toss

Wrinkles etched deep beneath her eyes

Though not old, she's no longer young

Beyond fifty, she has known many pains

And understood life in its many colors

After fifty, every action is weighed

And perhaps, she is stricter with herself

She still loves, but dares to be indifferent

Though she longs for a shoulder to lean on

She will not risk a gamble with time

For time is selfish, ticking away each second

She still smiles after all the bitterness

She still smiles after the storms have passed

She still smiles when her steps falter

When life is but a fleeting illusion, still joy fills her heart...

I owe my mother through all four seasons

In the evening sun, as rays drape the doorstep

I owe her the emptiness of every night

Who will lift me when the storms arrive?

I owe my mother all the little things

When she's sad or tired, ill or weak

I am not there, but she never complains

I apologize! A thousand times, I apologize!!!

Married, I hurry home every time

Yet never ask how she is, even past noon

I secretly wish I could return to the past

Come back to her, and be a dutiful child...

Now, I owe her the Spring of hard work

The Summer of countless storms and trials

The Autumn of memories piled high

The Winter of cold and lonely nights...

From far away, my heart is constantly troubled

I miss my mother so much, but don’t know what to do

In this life, I have only one wish

That my mother may be healthy and peaceful, surrounded by family.
