Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,89Please respect copyright.PENANA73p6QlhgLG
its petals laced with silver dust,89Please respect copyright.PENANAaWCmiUvfAj
whispers secrets in the dark—89Please respect copyright.PENANAwxuW8ZJfgX
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,89Please respect copyright.PENANAjWBL0fYboc
their marble lips now cracked and worn,89Please respect copyright.PENANAzv1UuBLYyU
yet in their ruin, grace remains—89Please respect copyright.PENANAcDDBW5B66U
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls89Please respect copyright.PENANAqOEA7qkyJN
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,89Please respect copyright.PENANARwzgE3DU4m
their fractured glass refracts the past,89Please respect copyright.PENANAh0jCzEQd9X
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,89Please respect copyright.PENANAZdOoPp9MYN
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,89Please respect copyright.PENANAJ1Kz4cASeJ
the echoes of forgotten songs89Please respect copyright.PENANACZyj0UgZgi
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,89Please respect copyright.PENANAc7buyy8vfk
bears artistry within its grasp—89Please respect copyright.PENANASTaBnYbIcT
a painted veil of grief and dusk,89Please respect copyright.PENANA6MfLh7mQ8D
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
