Essence [Clown] [The Legend of Qin] Acrostic Poem

The moonlit night is mellow, the breeze slightly cold, Shadows scattered, a few fallen petals, Colors bright and glistening with crystal clarity. The woman's bright eyes seem to flicker, At midnight the cool wind stirs the heart-lake, When fragrance fades and jade perishes, is that the final abode? Tears fall clear like pearls, The heartbroken hold shattered cotton, Swordlight chills through the heart and leaves. Love deep and passion strong meet in a chaotic world, How many couples ultimately part, Often sighing at the unfairness of the mortal world! Wishing to become butterflies to dance as a pair, Passionate hearts eventually fall into lifelong sorrow, Pain congealed deep in the heart, mourning endlessly. Silent swallows fly north and south, Words reflect deep longing engraved in the heart, Missing the beloved makes one lose themselves. Forgetting parting yet still recalling the first meeting, Unable to resolve, the sorrow is this bitter, When will you and I gather across the ends of the earth? Lonely and somber with tears like rain, Dancing alone beneath the rainbow like a slender shadow, The soul flies apart, unable to be reclaimed. Drifting with clouds, never seeing you, The clear, leisurely wind stirs the flowing skirts, Sweeping away dust yet still longing remains. Whose paper kite flies lightly, Where is it headed, where does it rest? A smiling face is colder than tears. Foolish hearts only add worry, Deep affection flows on like tiny streams, Does my beloved know of my longing? This cruel, turbulent dynasty, Red wedding gowns dare not be imagined? Mortal bonds and private feelings all drift with the wind, Indeed, all talk is uncertain. Fire of war rises to the sky without fear, On the battlefield who can prevail? Thousand drops of rain strike the heart painfully, Military affairs mask deep feelings. Countless blades of wind tear the liver and intestines, Horse hooves gallop fiercely and swiftly. If one day one can grow old with a beloved, Who envies heroes for pointless fame? To be forever together brings endless joy! What is it to love deeply? Princes and commoners, who fully understand? Recalling past encounters, Affection threads hard to sever yet treasured, Even outside the pass one still thinks of her. Who smiles cleverly, who weeps, May I ask which lovers reunite forever? Roaming the world still with a broken heart. Gazing through the night sky at dim stars, Bright and beautiful like snow, The moon scatters silver, touching grieving souls. The heart resents the mortal world for not allowing love, Grief surrounds the parted, Cool rain drifts, blending with fine dust. Thousand words cannot express deep longing, Since ancient times troubled times bring melancholy, Love and hatred each sent to distant ends. Reincarnation endless in this strange love, Looking back, unbearable, becomes a final song. Tasting bitterness and confusion, Eyes fix on the bright moonlight, A thread of autumn spreads quiet fragrance. Closing eyes, inhaling endless coolness, Who can escape the hardships of fate? Deepest love never moves, Prideful lifetime ends in lonely emptiness. Love in this world is hard to endure, So many sorrowful people in the world. Roads perilous, hearts unpredictable, Truly more resentment than true feelings. Silently staring at falling flowers, Often tears soak plain dresses. Looking up at the clear cold moon, Gazing afar, waiting for the dawn. I dare ask when the night will end, Love endlessly turning to drifting fluff. The mad horse pursues but cannot finish, Human affairs are like floating clouds. Passionate blood and fervent feelings, Separation by life and death brings many wounds, The body heals easily, the heart hard to remedy.
