MỀM MÔI NHỚ - Đặng Hiền

Nghe đêm mềm môi nhớ

Lá tình thì thầm thơ

Tay nâng chiều thở nhẹ

Tóc ướt đẫm cơn mơ

Ở bên ngày trăn trở

Từng lời điên cho nhau

Những hẹn hò ảo mộng

Cùng cơn đau đậm màu

Gió lên tình hư ảo

Ngọt ngào mây bay cao

Đêm không là mê thảo

Ngày ngu ngơ đợi chờ

Mưa lên đồi nhung nhớ

Mưa đến tận rừng sâu

Yêu em là hơi thở

Giam hồn nhau trong thơ

Nghe đêm mềm môi nhớ

Gió tình buồn thổi khan...

(Mai kia mình không gặp

Em chửi thề anh không?)

SOFTENING LONGING LIPS

by Đặng Hiền

Translated from Vietnamese into English by Hương Cau Cao Tân

on November 2^nd, 2021 in British Columbia, Canada

Listening in the night when softened lips are missing longingly

Where the loving leaves are whispering the poems so poetically

And the hands are lifting the evenings that breathe so lightly

With hair that is soaking wet in the dream lovingly

While we are together in those day tossing and turning over

Uttering those crazy sentences one by one to each other

Along with those hallucinating dreamy dates

Together with the darkened pain that heavily aches

The winds are rising up the ethereal love

While the sweet clouds are floating high above

Nights are not the intoxicating magic grass

Days are for naively waits that seem never pass

The rains are drizzling up the longing hills so much

And it rains to the depths of the forests as such

Loving you is like the breath for each second

While we are jailing each other’s soul in poems

Listening in the night when softened lips are missing longingly

Where the love winds are blowing so dryly and sorrowfully

(If we are not seeing each other in the future

Would you be swearing at me terribly, or if you ever?)
