"nguyen" poems - Hello Poetry

The smoke traveled through my throat all the way to my lungs. With cloudy thoughts and smelly clothes I sat on the back row. Teachers and classmates wonder alike. I wish I could push the smell inside my Hello Kitty backpack But I cannot, so instead, I pull myself aside. I keep telling mommy to quit. But does she listen? I wish she did. A couple of years later I discovered a marvelous thing! Although I had promised myself I would never touch a cigarette, I do. It happened in the backyard where my volleyball fell. I simply bent down and picked up a cigarette **** instead. The skinny, now small cigarette- still blushing with mom’s lipstick. I put it in my mouth, automatically. Just how I’ve seen her do it millions of times. I inhale and exhale my worries away and become my mom. Next thing I know, the stench disappears and it’s me who blows little puffy clouds into my daughter’s mouth and lungs. I pass the sickness on. Later on we go visit Doctor Nguyen. As we step inside, I can smell the infected air of the hospital’s hall. And I know. I know what the doctor will say. While I see myself on my daughter’s head I can hardly breathe. I am choking with the smell of smoke, The smell of sadness, The smell of tears and of cancer.

Smell

The smoke traveled through my throat all the way to my lungs. With cloudy thoughts and smelly clothes I sat on the back row. Teachers and classmates wonder alike. I wish I could push the smell inside my Hello Kitty backpack But I cannot, so instead, I pull myself aside. I keep telling mommy to quit. But does she listen? I wish she did. A couple of years later I discovered a marvelous thing! Although I had promised myself I would never touch a cigarette, I do. It happened in the backyard where my volleyball fell. I simply bent down and picked up a cigarette **** instead. The skinny, now small cigarette- still blushing with mom’s lipstick. I put it in my mouth, automatically. Just how I’ve seen her do it millions of times. I inhale and exhale my worries away and become my mom. Next thing I know, the stench disappears and it’s me who blows little puffy clouds into my daughter’s mouth and lungs. I pass the sickness on. Later on we go visit Doctor Nguyen. As we step inside, I can smell the infected air of the hospital’s hall. And I know. I know what the doctor will say. While I see myself on my daughter’s head I can hardly breathe. I am choking with the smell of smoke, The smell of sadness, The smell of tears and of cancer.

“My brain hums with scraps of poetry and madness.” – Virginia Woolf, Selected Letters Reading Virginia, as if I understand her morals. “Do not,” She has written. Analyzing Woolf, “One cannot think well,” she says. my tongue is dry of new air, to “…love well…” “…sleep well…” – Nightmares mostly, leftover sleep and a dew of overdue promises evaporating off my lips, purging with blood. She ended, “…if one has not dined well.” I began: “Do Not Speak to me about Hunger; Speak to me about War.” Here I stay: barefooted in between airport tile floors – they tell me, Gritting my teeth to the dreams, forbidden desire and will to shining silver linings. The cruelty, unrivaled, taking parts of a dream, leaving most to die, but she’s hungry, they told her the war’s over, but she won’t heel, filling a God-sized with infused useless poetry madness. - Emilyn Nguyen

Her grandmother told her that her delicate, intricate, beveling beauty closely resembled one of a rose. On lovely, tender spring mornings, she had soft, rosy pink cheeks complimenting her pink lips, and below lengthy, stem - like legs. Her soft skin radiated with a wonderful floral scent and even when it rained, her freckles seemed to dance across her face like raindrops mirroring the dainty dew droplets that lie upon her white – pink petals. Her whole lively being was recognized to draw in others – to love and to be loved – but without knowing: to capture the victims in her hidden, disastrous thorns. Her heart lived outside her chest, hours away at your window garden, roses were her grandmother favorite. When vines reach up through my head again, and the roots sew themselves to my toes, to be consumed by their splendor again and then realizing she is gone, and there is nothing growing inside you. If winters weren’t so cold, I’ll water from the roots to the vines to become the rose beside the garden inside of her that her grandmother once spoke of. - Emilyn Nguyen

From midnight on, I couldn’t help staring at the light ignited from the phone; waiting anxiously for a message I, for some reason, knew I wouldn’t receive. The night longer than day, so cruel of overthinking and possibility was held in the air. To add, the moon couldn’t keep away, its light kept shining; temping me to call, like the loose thread on my sheets I couldn’t resist to pull – I didn’t. I couldn’t wait till day, so the moon could meet the sun, and the stars could lie in the clouds. The coldness of the night’s snow shown sheets embraced the moon, cradled me into the clean white blankets, but I wanted the embrace of the burning sun as it would rage. Rage for me, rage at the moon. By 1 o’clock, the sheets became my comfort embedding itself into the heat I radiate, waiting impatiently. Imagining the warmth of my blankets as the radiating heat of your body against mine. By 2 o’clock, I went unnoticed, the sky lightening, my crippling exhaustion leaving me numb. My eyelids heavy at the hallucinations I was witnessing. You became a vision, and like the moon you were fading, fading – gone. My fascination towards phone lights dimmed towards to growing moon – bigger and smaller like the strength of my heart. At 2:45, I became taunted to close my eyes completely. Through withdrawal, I only crash, slipping slowly under my sheets completely. I only fear that I will suffocate myself; deprive myself of air before 3. From the moon to the stars, counted the stars and the constellations like I counted the minutes I waited. The 45 after 2, taunted me, the titanic sinking deeper in my heart. Second per second, minute per minute waiting until 3. By 3:45, I only saw how your eyes lit up when you saw me in the night’s moonlight, trying to count the stars between our giggles in our dreams… - Emilyn Nguyen

I want to imagine falling fast because you’ve pushed me off a bridge but before I go, kiss me quickly while making it last so I can determine how much it will hurt when you say goodbye. To determine if it was too soon or too late because I had understood that you were the one that didn't feel the same. Yet, I understand that people come and people go but I don’t ever want to say goodbye to you. I question why you couldn't let the future pass and simply let go. I only ever so slightly want to say goodnight to you. I only hope that the good in our good-nights will mean I will see you in my dreams and goodbyes will mean that we will always end up meeting again tomorrow. I want to see you, even if it means for a slight minute like the moon meets the sun just before daylight forty five minutes after five and after the late eight o’clock orange-crimson sunset. You were convinced that there was no good in goodbye; no good in goodnight, but at first hand it may appear too hard, but look again. Always look again. I promise there’s good in that. - Emilyn Nguyen

It took a long while for you to find me through our treasure trove. Look for me, and an acquisition it was, my heart treaded to your tarantella. Through the white desert sandy blankets and the spilled seas, you came to search for me. Closets, Hidden Hatches, Attics, I told you to find me, come protect me. Despite the tedious counting, you told me you were coming. I questioned if you had surrendered to your fear of fear, so you could win one battle against these chromosomes. I thought I’d be lost forever, that you’d be lost forever. Marco to the Polo, crimson tie-dye on your childish shirt, Colors wanting to collide, to bond but only, Stuck between two intersecting ways of a chromatography-inked maze. I yelled, “Over here!” to help you, only to confuse you with the echoes drumming in your ears. I was paralyzed in time, tick to the tock, dusk to dawn. Waiting – hinting you by ruckuses, pots and pans, making it easier for you, from my love for you. Only until you reached my hiding spot, your face became blank, striking with fear in your soft cheeks, I had realized you weren’t looking for me, in a childish game: You were looking for a hiding spot of your own. - Emilyn Nguyen

It was windy that night, all those questioned agreed, when the woman was struck by some falling debris. It was here on West 12th Street,at the corner of Seventh, by the condo they’re building on the site of Saint Vincent’s. A section of plywood had chanced to fall, driving “Tina” Nguyen head first into a wall. She fell to the pavement and she struck her head. They rushed her to Bellevue, but she was already dead. Was it chance? Was it fate? Was it some Divine plan? Her death was so random, so hard to understand. We walk these same streets, so I think you’ll agree It could have been you. It might have been me.

A Death in Greenwich Village

The difference between a boy and a girl in moving on. When it's over for a girl, it's hard at first, but it gets easier later on for her. At first, she'll be devastated. There will be many days she'll text him and show him that she wants to get back together. There will be many nights where she'll lay in bed and send him paragraphs before she sleeps. There will be many occasions where she'll lurk on his social media and see if he's with another girl or around other girls. There will be many times where she'll get mad when she sees him doing things without considering her feelings because in her mind, they're still together. She'll isolate herself and not want to be around other people. She wouldn't be in the mood to do anything eventful. She'll lose motivation in life and feel like it'll never get better because she depended on loving him for so long that she doesn't know what to do without him. But then, after some time, she realizes that maybe things are better off this way, maybe it just wasn't meant to be as she had hoped, and maybe it's time for her to stop waiting for him to come back. Eventually, she remembers how to be on her own. Eventually, she realized how she was fine before him. Eventually, she recognizes that the only person who deserves her love more than ever is herself. When it's over for a guy, it's easy at first, but it gets harder later. At first, he'll feel relieved. There will be many days where he'll ignore her text messages because he doesn't have to deal with her anymore. There will be many nights where he won't care enough to reply to her messages because he's too busy partying. There will be many occasions where his Snapchat will be full of girls and it wouldn't bother him that it bothers her. There will be many times where he'll argue with her and remind her that they aren't together anymore so she should stop being crazy. He'll enjoy being around his friends. He's be up for meeting new friends and having new experiences. He will so happy that he's finally free to do whatever he wants because being with her was so straining that he had started to love her less and less until he didn't love he hard enough to try anymore. But then, after some time, he realizes that maybe the single life isn't what he wants, maybe it was foolish of him to treat her the way he did, and maybe he should step up and be everything she needed. Eventually, he remembers how much he adored her crazy personality. Eventually, he realized how much he misses her when he stares at the other side of the bed where she used to lay. Eventually, he recognizes how he ****** up on the one person he didn't deserve and was so lucky to have. words by: teddie nguyen

Circles within circles clenched in a fist, finger prints of mothers, fathers, of fathers oncle, ma grand-mère et grand-père, Vietnamese blurred French – English dialect – adopted. Held captive by four corners – owned by simplicities of mind, lesson well learned. Combination of two sides, cinching an aged tradition, Recycling words, welcoming of solitude in circumference chasms. Plated orange-yellow poles upon, crimson grading pens upon, pink erasers upon, yellow painted light wooden pencil between the webs of my fingers, foreign and forced upon my uncoordinated hand, ached and cramped knotted upon them, strung upon my tangled fingers – alien. Blind to possibility, possible to the blind, your warm hand guiding mine, gliding streaks of graphite-lead onto smooth bamboo paper. Inked loose leaf paper upon sheets of bent thoughts meant to be traced upon. Handwriting of the foreign, different from the raced, language to be taught, words to be learned, syllables chopped, from tongue to lips, to be refused by air, my lips followed yours, by a semblance in matter, your dashes guide me, synchronizing to your hand before smooth, a poem you wrote. Sawed cut chopsticks to count upon mixed upon erasers, grips upon, wrinkled skin between clenched newborn fists, opened wide, exposing the wings they possessed between each finger, creases created to count with father’s hitchhiker’s thumb, until one realized that there was more to count, with the spaces between mother’s joints on her wide hands, and long fingers. Canisters of undeveloped films, reminders that one has not rendered, Fluent spheres develop in your mind, death-sentence tolled, A color and composition – segments of hued breaths you took between shutters unraveling that you belong—intertwining my foreign fingers in your hair. Words you’ve forgotten, shriveled hands cracked, I wrote the words you could no longer teach me: to have met. - Emilyn Nguyen

I have been trying for days after days, hours after hours, minutes after minutes, seconds after millisecond to figure out a way to describe that echoing in my chest as my heart cries out for you. It beats fast, then slow, only to be fast again because my mind relapses with images you, and the connecting breath from my lungs begin to lack air as you leave me breathless. With every full thump that drags in every breath that catches in my throat when I realize how intensely you lack a need for me. I only hoped your bones were captivated by fresh air they never get to feel; is that why they peek through your skin stretched taut as if they’re trying to putt through your nerve endings or is the air chilling your epidermis making goose bumps arise? Why do your hips and ribs jut out like they crave the atmosphere’s breath? The very act of breathing reminds you that you’re not whole – not without me, cried the heart; cried the skin’s drying touch; cried the eyes; cried the muscles aching. Save her, save me, for my heart won’t live without her breath. Yet the tattoo on her chest, her heart’s fighting beat contradicts the hope the lungs held: Do not resuscitate. - Emilyn Nguyen

In this white room, I wish to remove the nails from the wood I stand on, so that the floorboards could be peeled from the gravity grounding them. I’ll find the authority to do so because I've already filled their cracks with my thoughts like the dust-like-sediments that have already piled up. When I do, I mourn to lie beneath them. Hammer the nails back on them if you please – tight to the eye, but loose to the touch. When I am ready, I’ll rise and face this fear of mine that is if the silence treats my broken soul. As of now, there, I could hide in still silence, but then again it still wouldn't be completely silent because I cannot leave my mind behind for a minute. The rug that lies above me would soak up my wandering synthesis of lost thoughts helping me until it’s to be filled to the maximum. When you find me lying there, I couldn't tell you what I’m thinking, even if I wanted to. I thought that I had words for everything, which I could always find refuge in my ability to arrange letters into feelings but I can’t. My emotions are the fickle disease floating in the atmosphere of this room contagious to those who enter: I. When I hear you walking on top of the wood, your toes I see from the cracks, you check if I’m in bed but I have hidden underneath the floors waiting for you to apologize, but you've let the silence do it for you. - Emilyn Nguyen

Days pass in a timely fashion: Slowly by daytime intervals, fast in a scale of seasons. Moments happening without hurry, quickly turning into memories – with the quick approach of a future. The world spins tilted, in sections of dry lands, wet clouds, white blankets, misty fog. Our minds are open, and our hearts are given. Full view of and in full view: sealed memories, bottled ocean water, brilliant minds, endless miracles – in a year of given time. There are summers missed, in a Secret Garden hidden under one tree: barefoot dancing in our summer dresses, talking of big dreams with bright eyes, feeling like moments were timeless, and nothing could change. Yet leaves fall, slanted, never straight; unless, “it’s the way you look at it.” A view of covered backs, packed with essentials: pencils, pens, paper, dried flowers, devious secrets, strengths, weaknesses – of yours and mine. to hibernate and dream, of a season left behind. To what we know best: there is time, a countdown, an event, a time, to wait for, to tell us: when to return back – and start again. - Emilyn Nguyen

Yet leaves fall, slanted, never straight; unless, “it’s the way you look at it.” A view of covered backs, packed with essentials: pencils, pens, paper, dried flowers, devious secrets, strengths, weaknesses – of yours and mine. to hibernate and dream, of a season left behind. To what we know best: there is time, a countdown, an event, a time, to wait for, to tell us: when to return back – and start again. - Emilyn Nguyen
