Don Nguyen Poems

'Out of an overflowing love for Most Blessed Lord, I now proclaim Him
Deep within, I am now willing to bear all things with a constant smile for His sake,
For if a love is real and true; it must be manifested and never forsaken.
Courage gained and fear suppressed, I rejoice, I shall forever rejoice.
...

My mind is starved of any sublime thought today
Simply blank of religion, of mystical spirituality
Just floating, floating like soft high white clouds
Wind blows, clouds take shapes, any shapes while I am simply staring
...

Lord, hold me captive, spell-bound in Your most loving embrace
While my soul swirls amidst of worldly distractions, recognitions, and glamour
Abide with me in the depth of my bound heart
Reign on my earthly and lofty desires and forever be subject of my fortified or forlorn thoughts.
...

So either you live partly or you die slowly but at the end, soon, you will rise radiantly
For me, my sensual part is being overbalanced by its stronger spiritual part
I am strong and it does not mean I don’t have any feeling for you
But what you ask I cannot give simply because I cannot give
...

Seek the lost moment, seek.., seek…, seek …….Don’t let it slip away, away, away, away …..
Ask for everything you have lost by neglect, oh by neglect!
Then you shall find love, grace, and light again, yes, again, again, again
Heaven will open up for the ray of hope and joy will shine through the cracks of your heart to illuminate the inner of your soul,
