Top 20 Most Beautiful Love Poems by Artist Lam Binh

THE WOMAN WHO COLLECTS SAND...

Who are you?
The woman wandering on the lonely island
The sand beneath your feet glows in golden light
Your skirt sways as you step with grace...
The waves gently caress your delicate footprints

Your hair dances in the vast, wind-swept air
The tranquil sea releases purple dreams
Your graceful form searches for something hidden in the sand...
The golden grains gleam under the afternoon sun

Each wave...
Each wave pushes relentlessly, erasing
The soft footprints you've carefully placed
You stand still, watching the sand drift away...
The evening sun fades into the silent emptiness
The golden grains roll endlessly...
The whirlpool spins far away beyond the shore

Who are you?
The woman who seeks the sunrise in the calm sea...
So that tonight, you will lie awake, pondering life
Without a word of regret about what’s come and gone...

WILD PLUM & YOU

I still wish to be with you when the Wild Plum flowers ignite
To feel the rush of youth and dreams once more
In the quiet stillness of a never-ending journey, thirsting for dreams
Wild Plum flutters... beckoning me to be with you

The unnamed day flows quietly... like a river
Splitting into branches, drifting far away
And still, Wild Plum waits
Burning with fire, though we remain apart...

Though I know I am always behind, watching Wild Plum burn bright...
Do you feel warmth in your heart when you think of me?
Even though time is nameless, filled with empty days
I remain by your side, gentle like the quiet river...

The heart beats, thinking the days have passed
But don’t let us lose each other with just a glance
Even when years weigh heavy with distant journeys
Let me melt into your arms, sweet as ever

We remain the same... like the Wild Plum, my love!
The heart’s desire fluttering in the changing seasons...

TIME, PLEASE DON’T PASS...

In the cold of winter’s embrace
We are like strangers passing by...
Silently crossing paths, almost choking on unspoken words
The promises of old still linger
Faintly echoing on the rain-soaked streets

Outside, the leaves continue to fall, drifting away...
In these peaceful moments, I feel the sting of loss
The romantic days slip away like time itself
I long to relive those days filled with love...

There are hidden sorrows buried deep
A tear, gracefully silent, carries the weight of apology
Weaving its way through the story of us, caught in moments of innocence...
And time, oh time! Please don’t pass
Let the days linger in dreams, let the nights remain still...

Walking in the rain... I will always remember us!

APRIL, THE WAITING BAY

In the twilight, I sit waiting for Mother
The sky glows golden as Mother hurries home
I don’t know that her shoulders carry the weight of a lifetime
A life spent struggling with the green mountains

April arrives, and the leaves quickly shift
The trees shed their leaves, standing bare in the wind
The cold breath of Bân’s winter makes the world stand still
As the lonely kite flutters, caught in the winds of sorrow

In this solitude, the blue sky and gusty winds are my companions
Mother’s silhouette rises tall... in the vast, empty afternoon
I wait for her with a heart full of longing
I know she’s far away... yet I continue to hope

My mother hides a lifetime of hardship
Leaning all the way to the waiting shore... towards a distant shadow....

THE STREET NOW

The street now feels full of unfamiliar places
It’s so crowded, I long for a gentle breeze
The green paths from old poems have faded
Leaving behind only the dim moonlight
The street now echoes with the sounds of lullabies
The plumeria sheds its leaves as evening falls over the city
Collecting fragments of a forgotten past
Silently, almost unconsciously, through the restless roads
Where drops of dew guide the lonely steps of summer...
The street now still sees the shadows of people passing by
The old days linger in a distant gaze
The lips yearn, waiting with longing...

In the quiet of the night, the street remains within me.

THE WILD EVENING SEA

Saying goodbye to the old day, fading into memories
Like a lone swallow, lost from the flock, flying aimlessly
The evening drifts, the sea thirsts and crashes on the shore
Thousands of waves twist, drowning in the sea of longing

And still, the waves endlessly break upon the shore
The vast ocean echoes, relentlessly crashing against the land
The moon gently releases its glow upon the sea of dreams
Clear and pure, yet filled with the ache of distant love...

THE SEASON OF FALLING LEAVES...

The season of falling leaves makes us feel rushed
The sky ablaze with the colors of autumn's warm sun
Red flames glow faintly in the cold mist
Gathering the leaves, warming the heart, burning the passion within

The autumn leaves lead us back to familiar paths...
Passing through the streets, it seems so quiet
Let us close our eyes to the sorrow of the past
To find the stillness in the color of the clouds

We press our face to the fiery autumn evening
The road ahead winds against the river's breeze
The scent of burning grass lingers on the shoulders
The entire road sings with the melody of flying notes

We search for ourselves in the season of falling leaves
Still owing this place the footprints we left behind...

GOING IN SEARCH...

I set out in search of a fleeting thought
What does the rest of my life have to offer me?...
The youth of spring still lingers
A life of loneliness reflected in the mirror
The silence of love remains unspoken
The heavy soul of a flower hides its beauty in the eyes
Unsettled, my heart flutters throughout my life
The love I once knew is now distant and lost...

GOLDEN LEAVES FLUTTERING IN SILK ROBE

The golden leaves flutter in the "Phiêu Triền" silk robe.
The light steps of a lotus foot dance into the lingering echoes.
The distant strings play a soft note.
Bringing autumn’s melancholy to the frame of a poet’s hat.

Delicate as a thread of love,
Light as mist, bound by awaiting hearts.
Faded leaves and withered grass echo the passage of time.
The quiet steps remind us of the changing seasons.

Who comes, who stays, the dance of time.
Remember the phrase "The time will come..."—a soul lost in thought.
Autumn’s evening echoes with a drop of sadness.
Falling into the realm of memories, the heart yearns.

Golden leaves flutter in silk by the river.
The lotus foot steps gracefully, hair swaying in the breeze.
The fragrance of the past lingers.
Leaving behind traces of time, fading but never forgotten...

WAITING FOR SPRING...

Half a lifetime filled with memories of days gone by.
You have weathered life's storms, yet love remains unbroken.
The flower’s color, kept only for you.
From the window, your eyes wander, lost in thought.

The heart’s thread - a deep memory.
Your fingers weave the fragile string of fate.
Life’s echoes speak silently,
"Moving beyond the past," but spring still holds its promise.

What is left of the struggles, the hardship?
A trace of sorrow lingers, yet your grace shines through.
The red flower’s kiss upon your lips,
The sun warms the doorstep, as you wait for spring...

WHEN WE ARE TOGETHER

We know that when we're together,
it is a moment filled with deep sadness.
The evening sky turns purple, a soft hue
as the cool, rosy light gently rises, illuminating the world.
In a quiet corner, we meet in stillness, embracing peaceful solitude.
Spring arrives sweetly, like a sparkling drop of water,
deeply etched in the eyes, full of longing.
Fingers tremble as they touch the lips, full of desire.
The world shifts, and even the soul of poetry bends.

Spring has truly arrived! The flowers bloom, filling the air with fragrance.

THE BREW OF LOVE

We are no longer the carefree lovers we once were,
as we were in those days of the past...
The lights flicker from one side, while red flashes from the other.
Thousands of buds gently stretch with each passing memory.
The winter chill wraps around, keeping the ache inside.
The first tremble, a flutter in the heart.
The scent of love fills the air, brightening the night.
When we truly see each other, we are willing to accept everything.
The song of destiny lingers as you stay by my side.
Though distance separates us, love remains fiercely deep.
Never apart, we nurture our unspoken hopes.

The afternoon sun casts its warmth, mingling with the leaves.
As I think of you, I carefully lock you deep in my heart.

THE LINGERING SUN

What do you hide in your eyes as the evening fades?
A piece of the old wall soaked in mist and smoke.
Your eyes are wet, filled with so much to say.
We gaze towards each other, from the farthest end of the road.
Moments of longing keep spilling, endlessly.
Why does the distance bring such restless waiting?
The spring sun returns, dancing softly in the air.
Birds sing joyfully, the sky soothing and serene.
Softly, the hues of sunlight stretch across the sky.
A golden drop of spring brushes gently through your hair.

HAPPINESS

We bid farewell to the old year, passing through the cold of winter,
A glimpse of pink sunlight peeks through the blue sky.
The color of happiness, always full of vitality,
People live to love each other.
A raised glass, a sip, and a gentle smile,
An embrace that passes warmth from one to the other.
From far away, in a forgotten land,
We drink from the same cup of health.
Staggering, we lose ourselves in the bittersweet intoxication.
True love remains, simple and pure,
No matter how far, like the wings of a migratory bird,
Through storms, we arrive at the shores of happiness.

For a thousand years, you will always be my soulmate.

MAY SUNSHINE

The sun of May
plays around your blue eyes
Summer has arrived
gently brushing your lashes
The ocean waves
are calling with longing
The phoenix flowers bloom to greet summer
as memories pass by...
Everyone wants
to have a small corner of their own
The sea crashes against the shore
but can’t embrace it all
And so, we dance with the waves!
At the end of the season, we stand quietly
and watch each other...

THE GIRL OF ÁP SA RA

Oh! The girl of Áp Sa Ra, from a distant, nostalgic afternoon,
When I placed my steps in the ancient forest of my dreams,
Your voice rang high among the clouds,
A feeling of longing stirred as I briefly caught sight of you...
You enchant with your hands, graceful and soft,
Your figure dances to the rhythm of the music of the village,
I was startled, thinking you must be from the moon,
Bringing you down, bathing the forest in the sunlight,
Restoring peace to the sacred land,
You! The girl from the temple this afternoon...
Your beauty is all your own.

NIGHT IN CẦN THƠ

As summer arrives, my thoughts turn to Cần Thơ

The place where I once wore a backpack, with an artist's soul

A time when I was moved by deep reflections...

Where life gifted me beautiful flowers

Where I burned with passion, performing alongside friends

Under countless shimmering lights in a world full of color

The Hau River sways in the weight of memories...

Carrying fertile silt, waves lapping on both shores

The Ninh Kiều pier, kites flying in the gusty winds

The sun stretches over boats hustling along the riverbank

The fragrance of ripe fruit fills the air with sweetness

In the excitement, a distant folk song echoes softly...

The season of phoenix flowers when we are no longer young

But still, your beautiful smile lingers in my heart

Your hair sways in the afternoon breeze

And my heart aches with the depth of that familiarity

The young girls glide along the Hau River

Where have they gone, through the years?

I return to Cần Thơ as the evening light gently fades

The sky remains clear, with swirling clouds above

The moon shyly listens, softly glowing...

The whispers of the wind dance beside the quiet river

The night in Cần Thơ turns in the silence

A deep connection, as if we could never part...

KIÊU SA...

You bend gracefully, showcasing your beauty this evening

In the breeze, the delicate figure of a young woman

Elegant, draped in pure hues, shyly revealing a blossom

Soft white, gently hiding the spirit of youth

Silently, I watch, unable to draw closer

Fearing to lose the ethereal charm of this angel...

A soft wind suddenly stirs, waking me from my thoughts

The heart is filled with longing, like the early morning mist

Then, I see it... A flower floats gently through the street

Weaving through the bustling crowd

The Calla Lily still pure and regal

As if untouched by the passing of time!

In midday dreams

The flower drifts through the years...

Taking me back to "the river of my hometown"

Summer night arrives...

Excitedly, I secretly treasure this love

The white Calla Lily releases its fragrance, tempting me to stay...

MÃI YÊU

Rừng hoang ấy nhả sắc vàng óng ánh
Nắng chiều vương thả dáng quá mong manh ...
Em kiếm tìm gì...trong từng sắc lá ngả vàng xanh
Để tha thiết nhớ về một chiều xa vắng...

Những ngày ấy... chúng mình cùng nhau đi tìm hoài niệm...
Về một thời "nai vàng đạp lá vàng khô"...
Em vẫn biết rừng xanh luôn thay lá
Để bao người phải tiếc ngẩn ngơ...

Cố đi sâu vào cánh rừng hoang
Đau lắm lắm ...những chiếc lá vàng nằm ở lại...
Mùa khắc nghiệt của cánh rừng hoang dại
Rưới đặc mùi ...khô rát bỏng trái tim ai ?

Nhìn rừng vàng khoe sắc buổi chiều nay
Xanh tươi quá bao điều luôn khơi dậy
Vẫn là biết rừng nâng em đôi cánh
Để cả đời em mê mãi kiếm tìm Anh....

RU HOÀI NGÀN NĂM

Tinh khôi Xuân với Hồ Gươm

Ngàn năm còn đó liễu ươm mặt hồ

Cây mùa đông nụ nảy chờ

Lộc xanh chồi biếc thả hồn chốn xưa...

Thương người chở bóng đò trưa

Sương giăng mờ tỏ cơn mưa trắng lòng

Nụ tình Xuân bật sóng trào

Mang theo hương vị ngọt ngào mùa thu

Hồ Gươm đêm ấy ...Chúng mình

Bao lời thủ thỉ chứng minh cuộc tình

Nghẹn ngào ...ghế đá âm thầm

Vai người lính trẻ ướt dầm lệ rơi ...

Đôi bồ câu góc khăn thêu

Hẹn ngày chiến thắng vui reo mọi nhà

Sắc tinh khôi thoáng bồi hồi ...

Rung lời ân ái ghim hoài tim ai

Nụ bung xoả cánh lả lơi...

Vít cành liễu rũ ấp môi chạm mời

Môi hồng he hé lời ru

Mơ màng thánh thót giọt thu bên hồ

Liễu buồn năm tháng ngậm ngùi

Rưng rưng khúc nhạc "thương hoài ngàn năm"...

Chuyến tầu định mệnh rời xa...

Mang theo hương vị mặn mà tôi yêu

Sương giăng nghiêng dáng yêu kiều

Cơn mưa rớt nhẹ phiêu diêu sợi buồn

Hững hờ...liễu rũ trầm ngâm

Yên bình phẳng lặng ngàn năm mặt hồ

Rêu phong phủ kín chân bờ

Thuyền treo bến đỗ người chờ năm nao ...

Xa rồi ... vọng tiếng hò reo

Ngày mừng chiến thắng tung cao lá cờ

Ai về thăm lại Cố Đô

Lao xao mộng giấc cánh thơ rơi đầy

Tình người dù có đổi thay ...

Ngàn năm liễu vẫn rũ say bến lòng

Hong tình vạn sắc thu bay

Gửi vào cơn gió chiều ngang bên hồ

Dư âm cuồn cuộn xoay tròn

Về miền viên mãn cội nguồn Thủ Đô !
