The Oath Of Love Poem by Brent Yan

The Oath Of Love



by Xia Zemin


All the flowers are so bright
Every night the moonlight is a little sad
But be it bright or sad
I have fallen secretly for your radiance
Were I found guilty of it
My righteous judge, please
Give me an eight-hundred-year or life sentence
Behind that high walls
There
I can go on with my writing
Putting down your name on every brick
And I will let my spirit fight against my flesh
Were my sentence to be lengthened for it
Please add another five hundred years

Tr. Yu Fengchao
