Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,189Please respect copyright.PENANAqU8hsDgpae
its petals laced with silver dust,189Please respect copyright.PENANA1NyMTXvLJs
whispers secrets in the dark—189Please respect copyright.PENANA5yLocmbjpM
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,189Please respect copyright.PENANAuaMTXSodo5
their marble lips now cracked and worn,189Please respect copyright.PENANACvTEY7lGSf
yet in their ruin, grace remains—189Please respect copyright.PENANAxU3tPzXRqZ
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls189Please respect copyright.PENANAA0TlbbHAnC
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,189Please respect copyright.PENANAuAesPIwhrk
their fractured glass refracts the past,189Please respect copyright.PENANAMBMx4AMmno
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,189Please respect copyright.PENANAuVBtTvyusH
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,189Please respect copyright.PENANAJ2oN6osdNb
the echoes of forgotten songs189Please respect copyright.PENANAzP95IjExyx
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,189Please respect copyright.PENANAYdynzVmc5o
bears artistry within its grasp—189Please respect copyright.PENANASnEUf6K2jv
a painted veil of grief and dusk,189Please respect copyright.PENANA19rfyQp0dr
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
