Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvgxyzDiKJF
its petals laced with silver dust,180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMVbN1Gu7S0
whispers secrets in the dark—180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9VdVilghRW
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6RkI7ZTzQn
their marble lips now cracked and worn,180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡNU26rKQNsK
yet in their ruin, grace remains—180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbpR3L6RJyH
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡms4GsqXJe5
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvLENO05Ixb
their fractured glass refracts the past,180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5mYvhYdtW2
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUd3AUAGHCq
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjA9zhzvb6z
the echoes of forgotten songs180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAIIkM40XjT
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaU61WG6iDA
bears artistry within its grasp—180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ36AmeM9cH1
a painted veil of grief and dusk,180Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnwRd7uTG4E
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
