Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,134Please respect copyright.PENANAS8VOnufGCf
its petals laced with silver dust,134Please respect copyright.PENANAHud8ESpSAv
whispers secrets in the dark—134Please respect copyright.PENANAYVmg1ePkzn
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,134Please respect copyright.PENANAl8hxQZCWxV
their marble lips now cracked and worn,134Please respect copyright.PENANAyo8anMZvJZ
yet in their ruin, grace remains—134Please respect copyright.PENANAhcoCmW5H4R
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls134Please respect copyright.PENANA9w8ZGKQu1l
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,134Please respect copyright.PENANAywOwvlCkEw
their fractured glass refracts the past,134Please respect copyright.PENANAaDfo1KGUHM
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,134Please respect copyright.PENANAevHynJzKLP
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,134Please respect copyright.PENANAH7Gda3zzWK
the echoes of forgotten songs134Please respect copyright.PENANAogFMeoMJC6
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,134Please respect copyright.PENANAiirk6QTllZ
bears artistry within its grasp—134Please respect copyright.PENANAdjSXvr1pAY
a painted veil of grief and dusk,134Please respect copyright.PENANAHpPdHVDfcA
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
