Lotus

 

Red, blue, and crimson

Create peaceful harmony

Reflecting deep thoughts

Patient petals are sparkling 

Fervent pure love exposes

Abalone Cove

 

Abalone Cove, who created Thee?

Heaven and Earth interfere with each other

Giving birth to a masterpiece of infinite love

Landing in Rancho Palos Verdes

 

Ocean reaches to the Horizon

Aqua water mingles with sapphire sky

Establishes harmonious cobalt

Catalina looming into view

White waves restlessly engulf little islands

Incommensurable gravel covers the beach

 

The tide is going down

Unveils destroyed Babylon

Collapsed under the sea

Displaying the bottom of the Grand Palace

The staircase leads up to the King’s Hall

Where the King held the Court

Burgundy rocks creep up the cliff

Stretching out over the throne

 

Visitors step on the slippery empire structure

Rectangular stacked slabs

Jet black like afar

Sandy like bronze

Hazel like emery

 

They are searching sea creatures

Discovering aquatic habitat

They inhale fresh air of the ocean

Admiring fascinating nature

Enjoying the tranquility of the Cove

Welcoming the whisper of waves and winds

Swimming in sun, sea, and sand

Forty years

Over forty years

Flip-flop up-down spheres

Produce tones of tears

Heart becomes severe

Follow a career

Fire up like a deer

Make life be clear

Achievement may cheer

California State University Los Angeles ‬ Sonnet

In two thousand thirteen 

First stepped on the campus 

The view has been seen  

Fascinating Confucius    

Inspiring His Genius     

Eastern culture reveals  

Igniting learning trust   

Knowledge brings zeal  

Proud Bald Eagle stands still 

Praising the mighty United States

Cal State provides all fields  

Promising radiant fate        

For those who are working hard

For those who play triumphed cards

Valentine

Valentine

Overnight

It is nice

With two minds

All are kind

To say “hi”

February 14, 2014

Commitment

Hand in hand

Heart in heart

To the end

Of our life

For my Love

Cherry Chase Sonnet

Cherry Chase Sonnet

Back to Cherry Chase

As the foreseen fate

Filling empty space

Commitment is made

The children are chased

Up to learning grades

The winners will taste

Successful sweet cakes

Memory is traced

Building knowledge base

Ecstasy is craved

In cheered Cherry Chase

For Cherry Chase Kids

With love, Anhthao Bui

Heroes Run

Heroes Run

One, two, three

You and me
Morning Bees
Joyfully
Join the sea
Of esprit

Heroes Run

Dashing Buns
Run! Run! Run!
Run raises fund
Fund for fun!
Fun for fund!

A Love Reflection

I Love Anhthao:

She is my piece of pie;
Cuter than a butterfly.
When I am with her
I can kiss the sky.
She makes me feel
Like I can fly
Up to the sky.
What kind of man am I
That I deserve the love
Of a woman with such
Beautiful brown eyes?

DENIAL

Carries a glorious mission
Denies pure love
Follows God’s voice
He pledges to be a goatherd

Over the oceans
On the mountain
A fragile heart sobbing
Blasphemes God’s steal her love

SHAME

Shame on Viet Communists
They sell Viet land to feed their greed
If folks cry out their split
Our folks are committed to death
Folks pretend to be deaf
Wise citizens accept silence
I reject my quiescence
I chastise their treason of roots
Because rage fills my soul
To see our folks in woe’s burden
Trường Sa’s big present
Red Bloc sells to Nation China

OCTOBER THIRTEENTH

October thirteenth, ninety sixty something
That gloomy night
Mother Nature enraged
She poured her anger to the earth

A first faint cry
Lost into the explosion of thunderstorms
Flood overflowed the seashore

The newborn was abandoned
