This writing unfolds as a stream of consciousness, where pain and reflection intertwine with fragile hope. It portrays the struggle of carrying invisible wounds, the confusion of identity, and the paradox of desiring love while feeling undeserving of it. Through shifting emotions-emptiness, longing, regret, and fleeting joy-it paints a portrait of resilience hidden beneath despair. At its core, the piece reveals the human need for connection, for something-or someone-that can make life worth enduring, even in the presence of shadows.
👉 It's a mix of confessional prose and prose poetry, written in a stream-of-consciousness style.

When She Smiles Again
It's not a story about two young lovers. It's about two lives that should have never crossed - two souls shaped by different journeys, different wounds, different ages. A boy of 26, untouched by the weight of a past, and a woman of 32, divorced but not broken, carrying the quiet strength of someone who has survived. He is the sunrise - full of hope, unafraid to chase what he believes in. She is the twilight - calm, beautiful, holding the memories of battles fought and lessons learned. Their meeting is not an accident; it is the moment the universe chooses to whisper, this is where you begin again. What follows is not a simple love - it is a slow fire, a gentle unfolding, a fierce test of trust. This is a story of healing, of breaking down walls, of learning that love is not about age or timing but about finding someone who sees your scars and still calls you beautiful. It is about a boy who refuses to give up, and a woman who learns that her heart can still choose happiness. A love that does not just happen - it transforms.
Whispers In Blue
In the vast ocean of human emotions, here I bring you..."Whispers In Blue" each poem is a wave of caresses, a reflection of the sky. Upon the water, a moment suspended between nostalgia and hope. Some were verses born in silence, yet all were written to walk beside the reader through their own emotional journey. This book does not offer answers, it resonates. Because there are moments in life when we don't seek explanations, we simply long for presence. And poetry, when it springs from authenticity, knows how to embrace even what has no name. May this book be a refuge where language becomes a balm, and also a lighthouse in cloudy times. May you find in these pages a voice that, without raising its tone, gently speak to your heart.
Blood and concrete
On a rainy night, water blends seamlessly with blood. In the rainstorm, cries of despair fade into distant echoes. Life and death dance together, weaving the threads of fragile hopes, in the struggle to define one's identity, in the quest for even a fleeting glimpse of happiness in a world ruled by selfishness, profit, and appearances. The themes are presented explicitly, including acts of psychological, physical, and sexual violence, as well as coarse language. I am not a native English speaker, so the translation may contain errors. I've done my best, though not entirely on my own.
LETTERS I NEVER SENT - A Thousand Tender Nights
I grew up in a rural village in Vietnam, in a family where my father struggled with addiction and my mother carried the heavy burden of raising six children. Deep inside, I always longed for a warm and loving home, a father to guide and protect, and a mother to nurture and comfort. As I grew older, that longing shifted into a yearning for romantic love, as my heart began to awaken to its first tender stirrings. The poems I wrote became sparks, small reflections of each stage of my life, each one carrying my search for love. They were poems never sent, born of desires I kept quietly to myself, of feelings that never grew into real relationships. These verses echo my heart, a heart that once held silence, longing, and memory, and now beats with the fire of love. Some were written long before I met the one who awakened me, yet each line carries the tenderness I have discovered in the present. As an immigrant, poetry in Vietnamese has always been my way of breathing. What you read here are my own translations, sometimes imperfect, but always honest. These poems are not just about one person, but about what it means to be alive: to long, to love beyond fear, and to speak from the soul. Now, in my forties, I understand that the image I was searching for was myself. And with that discovery, my love has not faded; it has deepened, becoming steadier and more serene. I no longer search for "him" to give this love away to. Instead, this profound love lives within me, unshakable and whole. In finding myself, I found love.
