Top 20 Beautiful Poems by Poet Cúc Họa Mi

MY TURMOIL

The street tilts beneath the sun and wind
The seasons change, keeping youth alive
You wander off... while my poetry falters
My heart is lost, caught in a labyrinth of self-reflection.

The street this afternoon is not gentle, nor beautiful
Someone clumsily wraps their feelings, seeking refuge
How many experiences have softened like a warm bed
But my heart shatters as you pass by.

Do not rush
Do not yearn from afar
The seasons change and need time to nourish
The one who is old
Feels the weight of their own insecurities
And grows jealous when you walk down the street.

The street tilts
I lean towards the quiet space
My soul whispers in reflection
My poetry falters with innocent mistakes
The leaves roll gently at your feet, love-struck
My heart is in turmoil!

OLD LOVE

The old street wears a springtime dress,
Lost in thoughts, shedding its weary face,
Peaceful colors paint the shades of green,
Strumming the strings of a midnight song.

Can the new street feel the same?
Quiet whispers fade, leaving only longing's flame?
Does joy bloom upon the lips and eyes?
If so, I’d return without a second glance.

As the season floats by, it leaves its trace,
Echoes of memories, though they fade with grace,
A sudden yearning stirs, old love revived,
Sending heartfelt messages across the miles.

LOVE LETTER

My dear,
The night still holds a chill from winter's grip,
The street stretches into a dim, golden end.
On your side, there’s a bundle of memories,
The fragile words of poetry drift into a light, lonely dream.

My dear,
The love we shared once wrapped around my dreams,
With sunlight of spring creeping through every window,
And the gentle fall of autumn... and you too,
You wove dreams beside me, turning them into verses...

Now far away...
On one side, there’s quiet, empty solitude,
On the other, restless sorrow, carefully concealed.
The distance is the yearning we falsely explain,
Deceiving ourselves, my love.

I
Will send my thoughts back to yesterday and beyond,
Sending them to the street, to the faint, glowing lights,
Sending them to the endless night, with someone far away,
My prayers follow the wind... wishing for peace.

If only we could, my love,
End all the struggles,
We would have lived as if there were no tomorrow, burning brightly, fully,
Not pretending to be happy... when our hearts are on fire,
Smiling with our lips, but with pain inside.

You go to your side, where things are whole,
And time will push yesterday to stay behind,
All that remains will be a poem of sadness that lasts forever...
...trapped in its thread...

LOST LOVE

Who cast something into the deep, endless night?
Placed a cold stone bench for a waiting soul?
Laid a sigh from the night in disarray,
And let the lonely footsteps drop poetry in the air?

Don’t gather the season that’s run out, my dear,
Don’t wrap up the warmth to keep the cold away,
Let the wind carry the sorrow, though slow,
Why do you cling to the clouds of the sky, my dear?

What’s the use in loving the lost winds,
What’s the use in the moon that’s half-hidden?
We only regret a lifetime of choices,
Not loving ourselves, yet still loving the borrowed love.

BROKEN NIGHT

Tossing and turning all night,
The night slowly fades, and the drops of longing remain.
The pain breaks, and loneliness is born.
The season wakes, stretching its arms to welcome summer,
Gathering fallen leaves to warm them... hiding them in the garden.

The night trembles,
Hanging on to Life, clinging tightly,
The mist wraps a thin coat around the silence.
I bow down, empathizing, then gently cradle it,
Covering it with a simple blanket... calling for a deep sleep.

I AM DRUNK

I choose solitude...
...Wrapped in the faded colors of the past,
Light as a blade of grass...
...Gentle as autumn's touch.

I wear the illusion of life, stepping through a dream,
Leaving behind the dry reality, shadowed by the bustle of the world,
I choose the old...the deep, the awakening after sleep,
So beautiful...!

Who dares to gamble their fate on a spinning choice?
Fortune and loss?
I accept my defeat...
Stepping out of the chaos, unknowingly,

Who walks by, then stops, scowling at life?
I leave fate to be built, thin or thick,
Choosing ease for myself, accepting the narrow path ahead,
I am drunk...!

THE QUESTION IS...

Afternoon keeps tempting me to wander
Drawing a night glowing with mystery
Draping my slender shoulders with a coat
"I miss you so much..." whispering in my ear.

The night invites me to welcome the morning
"The dawn is so beautifully colored"
Placing a deep kiss on my lips
Hurrying the steps of a wandering soul.

I also wish to roam freely
To hear gentle and warm words
With each step, my feet move slowly
Shall we go... together...?

THE LONELY HEART

You can't truly understand me
When my love for you remains unspoken, hard to define
On winter nights, the wind stirs my restless heart
In silence, my tears fall, reaching out for an absent hand.

I'm angry at myself for not shaking off the intoxication
To give you peace, even though I promised it would fade
Who made us carve our lives with marks of sorrow
Holding onto distant dreams, wrapping myself in a solitary love.

If only you knew my heart
Indifference would melt away... filling with longing
Sleep well, my love, this lifetime... I vow to be the one who stumbles
Unable to stop my heart, it leads me astray in love's path.

DREAMS

Where will you take the season I’ve wrapped for you?
It ignites the memories of a deep, silent sky
Endlessly stretching, it tilts in the evening light
The soul drifts... the heart longs to speak its love.

Can we slow down this fleeting journey
So that a wandering soul may pause and be touched
Guide the dreamer's hand, leading them forever
To the end of the evening... where dreams are purple, where dreams long for more...

REFLECTION

I’ve aged with the passing years
Like a season running out, touching the end
The love I once longed for has faded
Now resting beside a leaf of quiet reflection.

In the old café, during the final days of autumn
Filled with sorrow and blame
The city pretends to forget its struggles
Each beat of life echoes with regret.

Let my dreams rest, I ask
Do not lament the broken pieces of my heart
Someone promised a half-finished story
While the faithful one stands lost in confusion.

FIND PEACE, MY LOVE

I know I arrived too late
When the path you walked had worn down halfway
Your tangled hair full of broken pieces
The boat had already left one cold winter day.

I’ve heard the story of your stormy past
Through tears that stained your words
Your lips trembled, clenching tight
My heart aches with both pity and jealousy.

Sleep, my love, forget that petty past
Let me offer you love to fill the path with blooming flowers
Find peace, my love... wipe away those salty tears
With me by your side... I’ll warm your dreams.

CHM17/11/18

LONELINESS

The pain has hidden for so long
The yearning
If only I could touch the sweetness
To end the suffering.

The pain knows it’s alone
Silent in its place
Happiness is somewhere, glowing in purple
But the heart aches in sorrow.

One day, the waves will break
The one I loved will go far away
My tears will no longer fall
No longer for anyone.

The long road, full of trials
Will fade into tiredness
I pray for those days filled with longing
To rest in peaceful sleep.

TRANSIENCE

Don’t be sentimental, my dear, don’t feel pity
For transience comes, fleeting thoughts are all we know
We are like branches of a river flowing
Toward the great sea, eternally longing.

Don’t let the days drain my heart
This world is temporary, why burden it with sorrow
Let us be like the wings of a dove
Flying freely across the globe, through sky and sea.

Don’t keep waiting in vain for something far away
Blame not love for being incomplete, for not caring
The horizon is vast, the ocean is wide
How many perfect connections can life offer...

It’s just... a brief shelter from dawn to dusk
A fleeting journey... let’s sing many joyful songs.

CASUAL

The evening asks softly
As I stand beside the Green Hill
Did the autumn leave a breeze behind?
The pine trees bend, quietly gazing
Eyes avoid as evening moves slowly on.

Seasons too grow old
As the years go by
Just yesterday, the sun shone at its peak
Now, the gaze lingers with a distant stare
Did the season make some foolish promise?

The longing...
Where does it stretch so far away?
Bringing itself back to this shared rhythm of life
Holding on to a moment of stillness, just for me
Don’t let it slip away, the golden autumn leaves.

Slowly, I step forward
The evening curls up with my breath
The hill tilts, hiding the misty path
The season joins the breeze, sending love
The final happy day bids autumn farewell.

HẠNH PHÚC NHÉ EM

Anh nhớ em...
nhớ lắm ... đến hờn ghen
Lòng quay quắt khi Đông vừa chạm tới
Vẫn biết mình có tội
Giấc mơ yêu dằn dỗi nụ hôn thừa.

Anh nhớ con đường
loang nắng chiều thưa
Ghế đá cô đơn, cây rủ buồn ngơ ngác
Ước mộng đời ...chẳng có tên nên nín bặt
Khói thuốc tàn...đếm giọt gợi hương đêm.

Anh nhớ thật nhiều
nhưng chẳng gọi tên
Bình yên nhé, hạnh phúc và viên mãn
Đừng để lệ ...lăn bờ mi xót mặn
''Nói em buồn''...anh lo lắm biết không?

Anh nhớ em nhiều hơn những chiều Đông
Khi gió chạm vào tim... buốt lòng kẻ giấu
Lồng ngực đã trót ghim một bóng hình nương náu
Trách gió Đông không hiểu gợi chi buồn...

Anh nhớ về người...
......nên trách cả mưa tuôn.

LẠC NHAU

Nếu em biết sau những chén rượu cay
Anh trở về ...sợ nhất là thấy mình lạc lõng
Ánh mắt ai thất vọng
Thứ lặng im giết chết vạn câu thừa.

Mình giận nhau lâu rồi...nhạt cả ánh trăng thưa
Cô đơn cứ van xin... kẻ yếu lòng thầm khóc
Giấc ngủ trôi khó nhọc
Gối chăn thừa ngăn nắp chẳng cần đâu.

Nếu em biết rằng: chỉ thưa, dạ một câu
Trái tim anh sẽ mềm như chăn ấm
Những nỗi niềm sâu đậm
Cũng vỡ òa khao khát tiếng yêu thương.

Nước mắt đàn ông không như cuộc bão giông
Mà lặng lẽ... tan rơi vào trong cả
Bao bộn bề nghiệt ngã
Khát yên bình em có biết không em?

Anh dối lòng... tìm chuếnh choáng đêm đêm
Quên khoảng cách hai ta và lỗi lầm tuổi trẻ
Biết có còn lối rẽ
Để bắt đầu.... cho hai kẻ nợ duyên nhau.

TÔI GIẤU NHỚ

Thu giấu gì
trong mái tóc em tôi
Mà ngọt sắc như trái hồng đã chín
Ngọn heo may... vương má em bịn rịn
Thinh không mừng hôn nhẹ nét môi say.

Thu giấu gì
vụt thoang thoảng hương bay
Hồn tôi trót xuôi dòng về quá khứ
Những dấu yêu cột tim ai một thuở
Ngỡ bùng lên ngọn lửa mối duyên đầu.

Thu giấu gì
pha những nhánh tóc nâu
Gợi tháng khát, năm thương còn ru mãi
Vạn niềm đau dẫu không còn trẻ dại
Tuổi bốn hai nhan sắc gác bên thềm.

Thu giấu gì... tôi giấu nhớ...ấm êm
Nẩy nốt nhạc tạo cung trầm sâu lắng
Tôi giấu thương ...giấu đi mầu trầm lặng
Giữ cho mình ...và cho cả em tôi.

MỘC MIÊN EM

I wasn't born in the nostalgic month of March
But I silently adore the flower that bears your name, so simple yet so pure
Admiring the red petals that curve with thoughtful grace
As the evening sun sways, I fall for you, Mộc Miên...

I admit, I am a wanderer left behind
But my heart belongs to you, the girl with the red flower pinned
I wish to become the gentle sun... embracing the breeze
And gently bring forth the vibrant hues... as dreams bloom in poetry.

March arrives, and many lose themselves in longing
Unable to keep you solely for myself any longer
Only to fall into a dream that never feels complete
Joining my name with yours... in the hope of a shared future.

SELL - BUY

The verse is shallow
The verse seeks water
A drunken dream
Reaching the shore, it docks on the flower's edge

The verse is thirsty
For priceless words
It tips its hat in a daze
Secretly selling itself on the roadside.

For the price of a bundle
Of barren earth and stones
At the market stall
Who would buy such a thing?!

The sky darkens
The lovesick fall into traps
Exchanging a high tower
For a purple attic...rolling the poetry back.

CHM28/2/19

WAIT FOR ME

Tomorrow I will leave this fleeting world
Paying off the debts of life
Days stretch on, exhausted
While I wander in peace

Tomorrow I wish for a falling leaf
Lightly landing in the earth
Leaving the bustling world behind
Ignoring the endless spin of fate

Tomorrow, all debts of love will be settled
And all reproaches forgotten
Let go of all burdens
Yes, tomorrow, it will wait for me.
