Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3DFrACnpHw
its petals laced with silver dust,140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Yw1GSDptG
whispers secrets in the dark—140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡd2GDDQZ4hK
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPHO4eP3VHT
their marble lips now cracked and worn,140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfFdXJyigXY
yet in their ruin, grace remains—140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3W3vFzwSf9
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡhtIECNhbUY
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡyyyBS4Gaaf
their fractured glass refracts the past,140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUWZCBV0FkJ
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfW9ahsIGtM
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAsHJYJoMN9
the echoes of forgotten songs140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXKty7x0BCK
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡuBKe2qbX7g
bears artistry within its grasp—140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVGASulcxfg
a painted veil of grief and dusk,140Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrue5tsXcUz
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
