Don Nguyen Poems

You should open your heart to desire that,
Desire that she forever be your coextension,
Your witness to the world, your likeness,
Your photo finish at the end of this finishing line,
...

I Love The Summer Days
I love the summer days
Because you, they most resemble
You sit at the street corner, you fiddle
...

My love, I haven’t written to you for a while;
I have written of you, of our summertime and winter chill;
I have written you in laughter, tears, joys, and sadness.
I told them I had longed to caress
...

Lord, you have said to me to love much to be forgiven much;
I now say if I think I have no need for forgiveness, I have not loved you at all:
Forgiven little, love little.
I have need for your love, Lord; more so I have need for your forgiveness,
...

My cup is filled, Lord, with joy and tears;
My soul is lifted, Lord, with happiness out –of-this-world.
My praise pierces all heavens, Lord, with all my breath,
Which no longer separates from the Breath of Life,
...

Free falling into the bowel of the heart, soul loses all the interests;
Which once meant so much, brought so much joys, now, gone;
Book closed, window shut, lips tight, lamenting.
Where is the inner fire, the sweet romance, the music of a soul?
