Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡeCkBVQaJjC
its petals laced with silver dust,181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5AlSv7GPBi
whispers secrets in the dark—181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzeHXafNout
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWQoC4vWzqt
their marble lips now cracked and worn,181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGmWfcjnnBt
yet in their ruin, grace remains—181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxw7tg6Nc5J
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡh2bPfrZPyP
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhUbuhJFTNY
their fractured glass refracts the past,181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡTzNeRRSUrq
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡG1W7JCpoFr
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhowbeajKl3
the echoes of forgotten songs181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWSrrdFRoJW
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvhhrJkeI49
bears artistry within its grasp—181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2D4D0EPREW
a painted veil of grief and dusk,181Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNYp7xcTM8y
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
