Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,87Please respect copyright.PENANAlpl5HP9oaL
its petals laced with silver dust,87Please respect copyright.PENANAtZbzgpfpEj
whispers secrets in the dark—87Please respect copyright.PENANAaScXUAWHFd
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,87Please respect copyright.PENANAbwZc8tso5v
their marble lips now cracked and worn,87Please respect copyright.PENANAutm2nusvKD
yet in their ruin, grace remains—87Please respect copyright.PENANA0ihTOGZXpY
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls87Please respect copyright.PENANASz7FUQbC5i
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,87Please respect copyright.PENANA8ShPZHiKmQ
their fractured glass refracts the past,87Please respect copyright.PENANAFb1fqYQhRA
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,87Please respect copyright.PENANAgZ4Pi4WAuU
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,87Please respect copyright.PENANAbL7M15H0RW
the echoes of forgotten songs87Please respect copyright.PENANAd0IjmDlrOI
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,87Please respect copyright.PENANA4rVFxezaWm
bears artistry within its grasp—87Please respect copyright.PENANAdr6RYr2Fza
a painted veil of grief and dusk,87Please respect copyright.PENANAuTHgTi3pEL
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
