Top 20 Beautiful Poems by Poet Ha Nhu Tran

RAINDROP

By Ha Nhu Tran

A raindrop lightly falls on the doorstep,

Surprised, as it carries the weight of sorrow with it.

Reflecting on the sadness in this world,

No sweetness, only the bitterness of my fate.

The raindrop gently falls on the doorstep,

Sorrow sneaks in, as my fragile heart clings to it.

The dewdrop lingers on my rosy cheek,

For whom... does the longing and affection always resurface?

Old vows, forgotten promises, fade away,

And now... amidst the long, lonely night,

Bitter pain mixes with anger,

As the dream of a unified love is lost forever.

PLEASE DON'T PRAISE MY BEAUTY

By Ha Nhu Tran

You say,

I'm the most beautiful in the world,

My smile always overflows with warmth,

My eyes gleam... I am gentle... deeply touched,

Do you love me so much... do you even know?

You say,

I'm like the night breeze,

Gentle and refreshing, with soft lips that caress the leaves,

It feels so tender on the edge of my lips,

I'm captivated, lost deep inside... Oh, my love!

You keep praising me,

And I become confused, overwhelmed,

Then comes the fear... hearts are ever-changing,

As time passes, eyes and lips age with years,

That smile too... will wilt, fade away.

And suddenly, life... weighs heavy on my shoulders,

You hesitate, your heart unsure,

We are so close, but it feels like we're far apart,

Am I no longer beautiful,

Will you still be fascinated by me?

I MISS YOU

By Ha Nhu Tran

The long embankment

Wraps its arms around the small village,

Golden rice fields stretch on both sides,

Near the corner of the field, a few baskets placed here,

By the riverbank, he fishes and catches shrimp,

The rainy season arrives,

Frogs croak, calling each other,

At dusk, toads and frogs begin their dance of love,

He lights a torch, and I follow, shyly,

The first rains of the season,

I remember

And write it into a poem.

SMOKE

By Ha Nhu Tran

Anger rises,

A wisp of smoke floats from somewhere,

It causes her eyes to fill with tears, clinging to her lashes,

Wind, come and blow the smoke away,

For the world will ask, what happened here?

Life,

So fearful of sharp words,

When happy, honey drips on soft lips,

When sad, turning away in silence,

Let it be - with all the pain, all the sorrow... heartbreak,

It's all because of the smoke,

Sitting in the city of dreams, my eyes filled with tears.

RANDOM THOUGHTS

By Ha Nhu Tran

Forever dreaming,

Forever wishing... so foolishly,

Because of love, because of longing, wandering in and out,

Because my heart once foolishly gave away,

To someone far away, from a time long past!

The soul!

Leaves the body... filled with sorrow,

Drifting, spinning in the night... searching for someone,

The person is silent, their body floating aimlessly,

Body, soul,

One play of life,

Forever in pain.

REMEMBERING
By Ha Nhu Tran

The cold winds

Deeply sink into the heart of the city,

The trees seem to speak... the longing of the soul,

The night is quiet, sorrowful... I'm just a shadow,

I remember you... I bury my face in the winter,

Carrying love,

I send it in a deep sleep,

For beautiful dreams and rosy love... full of longing,

For lovers, whispering in harmony,

Sharing the wine of love, we seem to drift into another world.

In the dark night,

Flickering between illusion and reality,

Reaching out my hand, my heart beats wildly... lost in ecstasy.

LOVE FADES

By Ha Nhu Tran

Softly you came, gently you walked away,

The bond of fate, like waves brushing past our lives,

Amazed, I watch love drift by,

Entwined with the waves, buried in distant shores,

Swallowing my tears, bidding farewell,

Though this heart, aching, cannot be eased,

I suppress the pain in the crowd,

Alone, I scream, laugh, and speak aimlessly,

You walked away, indifferent, leaving behind,

I stand, foolishly watching, wilted and forlorn,

We travel to a place of loss,

The path wavers, reflecting a shadow of longing.

MY LOVE REMAINS FOREVER STRONG
By Ha Nhu Tran

I am dazed,

Watching the earth and sky tilt and fall,

Searching for the cold wind, the last day of summer... fading away with bitterness,

My hair tangled,

I walk alone,

Lost in a daze,

My chest aches, this place... so painful!

I cry out,

My body weary, exhausted,

My soul spins, deep in the heart... desolate,

I remember you, though love has ended... the bond dissolved,

For I have... lost my passion... my springtime beauty,

I stumble,

Perhaps you too, have turned away,

Swallowing the tears... their salty taste... like the deep ocean.

EVERLASTING LOVE
By Ha Nhu Tran

The rain falls like a whisper,

You can hear the rain's soft murmurs, its anger slowly fading away,

The high sky understands the heart of man,

The bitterness of loss, a thousand times, I beg to let it go,

Life has many ups and downs,

But why does my rosy lips seem so pale, my love?

Why blame the sky for lacking the blue clouds,

Why be angry at the one who swiftly abandoned this love?

I remain passionate, still beautiful,

But why do I have to soothe myself each night?

Outside, the wind sweeps across the doorstep,

Slipping through the cracks, adding to my sorrowful tears.

THE FRAGRANCE OF LOVE
By Ha Nhu Tran

The late night trembles, thunder suddenly roars,

Rain pours down, wind brushes against the window,

Listen closely, the sighs of the heart echo,

Touching the memories that float and drift in the breeze.

Once upon a time, the soft kiss of love,

Our first kiss, innocent and pure,

Promises and dreams to last forever,

But little did we know, love would drown deep in life.

You found happiness, with someone new,

Smiles and laughter shared together,

I stand still, gazing for a long while,

Then turn away quickly, sorrow begging for forgiveness.

And then I remind myself, that's how love is!

Bright in color and fragrant in scent,

Then it fades into the impermanence of life,

A time of affection, memories flying away.

WOMAN'S SHIMMERING PAST 2
By Ha Nhu Tran

It’s me!

The woman at the cusp of aging,

Her eyes carry a sadness, as if missing the spring's bloom,

She has crossed the seas of hardship, becoming tougher than before,

Her hands clutching, even as her body grows frail,

She strides through the hurried life,

Her heart steadier, in the face of love’s many twists,

She lives with passion, burning with love,

Ignoring fame and fortune, she leaves it all behind.

The woman at the cusp of aging, having tasted many injustices,

She tells herself she’s no longer naive like before,

Though one day, when the woman reaches full maturity,

Her grace will be like a summer’s last rain.

THE WILD DREAM
By Ha Nhu Tran

He takes a step forward,

Leaving behind the sky of memories,

And I, now, find myself caught in a labyrinth of illusions,

Awake, I hear every breath,

Thinking he’s returning, reliving our memories… only to be shattered,

He walks on,

Yet I still wait, still yearn,

Embracing his shadow, calling for a future,

For I believed that life is about moving forward,

Carrying love in my heart and a hope for lasting happiness.

I never knew

That he would never return,

I waited endlessly...

Then, naively,

Because of love.

THROWING MY SOUL AWAY
By Ha Nhu Tran

Since when

Have I ceased to be myself?

Awakening in the dead of night, the curtains fluttering... filling my heart with longing

My hands search blindly, grasping for breath

Seeking intoxication, searching for the solution... lost now

The gaze of love

There! It burns brightly, spilling over my lips

My arms tighten, my heart races with anticipation

I thought we were just playing with anger, a brief sorrow followed by love once again

But I never knew, we had missed our chance... lost each other

Oh, my dear love!

I will forever etch you deeply into my soul

Embracing the longing, counting the weight of sorrow... in silence

You over there, me here, swallowing tears

How can I ever forget you?

GOODBYE, MY LOVE!

By Ha Nhu Tran

I am drowning

In the two words of LOVE

Enough

Now

Let us stop, my dear

This love!

It will not last forever

The marks of time tarnish the great wall

A sudden rain

With gusts of wind that blow endlessly

Suddenly, life

I clumsily loved you

Little did I know, what wrong I had done

Now, here I am... a leaf falling from the tree.

HOW COULD YOU KNOW THE COLDNESS OF THE GIRL?

By Ha Nhu Tran

You said you were tired, my love

The girl from the distant land just speaks in jest

Morning sun, afternoon rain, and the coldness comes unexpectedly

The wind sweeps the misty haze

When I hear of you, my heart overflows with concern

But the distance between us is so vast

Though love is abundant, why can't we reach each other?

So I’ll wait for the next life

Who is this girl from the distant land? I ask myself

My heart is heavy, but I remain silent

In the south, I know the heat, the burning sun

But little do I know you're shivering from the cold

The warmth of my love is far away

My heart burns... fading in the biting cold

It’s me, I love you beyond words

I miss you so much... keep warm, my love!

COULD IT BE?

By Ha Nhu Tran

I lean against the door, staring far away

The sad clouds drift slowly, heavy with despair

The quiet night, the cicadas cry faintly

I gave my love... and what did I receive in return?

You appeared, rushing like a torrent

While I stand here, lost and mesmerized

Could it be, you are the one who betrayed me?

In a moment of shock, tears welled up in my eyes

Could it be, I was just a fleeting moment?

You tried to leave, how could I stop you?

LET IT GO

By Ha Nhu Tran

Stop thinking, stop thinking about it

Let life be... who cares what happens

Love has drifted, no longer bound

Letting go of affection, pretending to be indifferent

Once a love, a gamble played

I gambled my life, win or lose, it’s no matter

I don’t care if the loss is high or low

Always carrying the sweet memories, sharing them with others

Now love has split... going in two directions

The winding road, life itself is winding

You left... without a second thought

Leaving me behind, shivering... Alone

So now, all I can do is remain silent.

TO THE ONE I LOVE!

By Ha Nhu Tran

I will send

The sunshine to you

To warm your heart, when the cold arrives

I’ll send my gaze, my lips softly kissing

I’ll send my love... all of it, to you, wrapped in poetry

Winter is here!

I am left wondering, endlessly

Worrying, lost in thought, my dear!

Remember, when the night falls and the chill sets in

Keep yourself warm, or you’ll catch a cold...

Just once!

Remember to heed my words

Don’t get sick, I’ll worry so much for you.

THE OLD STREET I PASSED

By Ha Nhu Tran

I return to this place, the street so quiet... Without you

Here’s the stone bench, where swallows once whispered promises

We gazed at each other, and I shyly smiled

Oh, my love, why are you always ful with me?

I’ve returned! But the street is empty

Every corner where we once shared sweet moments of affection

Now feels hollow, as old memories fade

Where are you? Why are you silent?

In the evening streets, I wander aimlessly

A breeze brushes by... my lips and eyes filled with sorrow

Everywhere I look, I see your laughter and words

Your eyes, they used to shine, now they haunt my heart

The street lights up, and the pain in my chest intensifies

I cannot forget those moments of warmth and closeness

That once made my soul drunk with joy

Now I feel the sharp ache in my heart

Swallowing the bitterness, even the leaves tremble in the wind

This is my message to you

Love fades quietly

Is this how it ends for us?

YOU'RE GONE

By Ha Nhu Tran

Alright then! You may go

While I remain, holding onto this sorrow alone

My smile is no longer bright

For the storm still looms, waiting by your side

You step away, walking at your own pace

I watch you disappear, regret filling my heart

Truly, I still wait for you

Hoping for the return of spring, for love to bloom again

Because I love you... I will remain silent

Like the leaf swaying, bending in the breeze

My heart aches from this dream

As you leave, someone is left feeling lost this evening

I love you... my heart turns foolish

My soul lost in the sorrow of this love-filled verse
