The white roses withered
in a moonlit evening.
Buddhist incense disappeared
long ago,but i was still awaken.
crows cawed,a new day of missing you.
Cold air seeped into my shirt,
tired of leaning on the balustrade.
The candle was gonna burn out,
but the wild geese were still flying.
Where are you?My sexiest baby.
谢却荼蘼，一片月明如水。
篆香消，犹未睡，早鸦啼。
嫩寒无赖罗衣薄，休傍阑干角。
最愁人，灯欲落，雁还飞。

Classical Chinese poetry thrives on Concision and Ambiguity. Without tense or number, the words create a timeless space where the reader becomes the co-creator of the poem's meaning.
Look for Contrasts: light and shadow, movement and stillness. Don't just translate the words; feel the Yijing (artistic conception) that lingers long after the last character.
