相見歡·無言獨上西樓

he poem, rendered in bold, flowing running-cursive script (行草) on textured beige paper, reads:

Silently I ascend the western tower alone, The moon is like a hook, the lonely phoenix tree stands in the deep courtyard. Cut, it does not break; sorted, it tangles more— This is the sorrow of parting. There is no way to dispel it; Once it falls on the brow, it rises in the heart.

This masterpiece radiates deep melancholy, introspective beauty, and timeless emotional resonance—perfect for quiet studies, bedrooms, or spaces for reflection. Ideal for poetry lovers, those who appreciate Tang-Song ci lyrics, or as a thoughtful gift symbolizing understanding of solitude and unspoken longing. It brings cultured depth, poetic serenity, and a gentle reminder of the human heart's enduring ache.
