Pretty P’ing-Yang Poem by Uriah Hamilton
Pretty P’ing-Yang
Pretty P’ing-yang, you are in England tonight
Studying international law and government,
But I remain alone in China
Draped in the soft glow of a lonely moon
With my mind swimming in a pool of dreams
While I long to be with you.
Your little brother and sister
Are proud of you,
Everyone has confidence in your endeavors,
I myself adore you
But wish we were together.
I walk everyday by the same field
Where we first kissed and the flowers blushed,
But now they weep because I’m sad.
Perhaps tonight, your English friends
Will take you to a concert or a play,
Perhaps, you will read poetry in a London bookstore,
But I will write you a letter
That I cannot afford to mail
Since the international rates are high
And you know how I work
To see that my old parents are well.
Tomorrow, I will gaze at yellow azaleas
And pretend I’m caressing your shoulders
With kisses and tears.
Dedicated to Ivy Christou
Uriah this absolutely beautiful.. I'm extremely touched, this is a poem that a lot of foreigner students can relate and you have given it the longing and the despair of the hearts that are separated. Stunning and heartbraking.. THANK YOU! HBH
What a beautifully sad poem Uriah.....great job as usual. Such a wonderful poem for your friend. Sincerely, Mary
a poem worthy of the ancient chinese masters the words pure and hitting the mark in each line the sadness bright bright as the full moon illuminating your inner heart
Tomorrow, I will gaze at yellow azaleas And pretend I’m caressing your shoulders With kisses and tears.- - - very gentle and romantic closure
Oh, Uriah. This is lovely. Such a tender and sweet thing for you to do. Shannon xoxo
A heart's cry longing to be heard loves song playing, spinning words & feelings dancing across the page A fine poem of the heart.
This is nice, Uriah. You have captured the feel of two parts of the world and the longing of long-distance love. Raynette
