Here I touch your archetype Mother Fairy took fifty children to the mountain

Father Dragon took fifty children to the ocean

"Dong bao" is what we call each other

We believe our ancestors were born from the same womb

Here I am thousands of miles from home

I've met a Cherokee, seen the Statue of Liberty, tasted Vermont Cheddar Cheese

I've held the soil of the Grand Canyon, leaned against the red bricks of Boston, learned to say "better" like an American.

Here I feel the Gihon River running through my fingers

Here I touch your archetype

Would you like to touch mine?Here I touch your archetype by ~tranche-de-vie

Truth You can touch my body
But you can never touch my soul
You can even take my life
But you can never see me cry
You can destroy my village
But you can never destroy my roots
You can burn my body
But you can never burn the truth

When he touches my tombstone
He will touch my soul
When he wishes it had been his life
Next to him my ghost will cry
When he rebuilds our houses
He will retrace our roots
When at night his body trembles
He will discover the truth.Truth by ~tranche-de-vie

photograph A photograph freezes the moment.

Looking
at myself
smiling
next to you,

Nothing
does it
like
the truth

Another lifetime it feels;

Another confession

My love screenplay - act 1 Fade in

You are standing there
masculine and fair
I can almost tell you smell
like vanilla

Your instant message
makes my day
Remember me? The guy who took pictures
I remember your Nikon D80

Cut to

Clear sky. The rain stopped. Rainbow

Another long chat on Skype
It seems like we will go shopping
for kites
Shall we meet at 11am?
Sounds good to me
And would you like to have dinner?
Don't you mean lunch?
"Opps"

Cut to

Forrest Gump to Jenny:
I brought you some chocolates, I ate some.

My red dolphin kite flying
I hold tight to the string
Strong wind

Chau Nguyen - poet-photographer
Artist

Vietnam

I was trained to be a media professional in college, graduated with a BA in Mass Communications. Work life has been taking me along the marketing line of work so far, and I've tried to focus on media/communication, my true passion. At the moment do consulting work and teaching, a couple of translation and writing projects whenever I can squeeze in my schedule. I joined DeviantART in 2007 to share my photography and poetry work. I love to explore the interactions between different forms of art. A few of my poems were published in Vietnam in June 2011. Poetry and photography are my two primary creative outlets for artistic expressions. Sometimes one inspires another. I hope you enjoy my gallery. Cheerz!

Seriously? U may as well go see it here with us then. I always watch Harry Potter movies more than once, hehe...Oh yeah, she's still pretty much into that Sasuke-kun something of hers. Also "in love" with L in Death Note and talking nonstop about Black Cat and Tears To Tiara. That's all I know, hehe...

Counting down...see you on the night after tomorrow's night. ^^
