Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,204Please respect copyright.PENANAAbf8D849O1
its petals laced with silver dust,204Please respect copyright.PENANAGky9eWhmci
whispers secrets in the dark—204Please respect copyright.PENANAKbEmWhHTcU
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,204Please respect copyright.PENANATtnQhYG1VE
their marble lips now cracked and worn,204Please respect copyright.PENANAIWxIegyrxk
yet in their ruin, grace remains—204Please respect copyright.PENANAD3jBBmEVs7
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls204Please respect copyright.PENANAAlH0nmZeeY
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,204Please respect copyright.PENANA4yYFOdOSsk
their fractured glass refracts the past,204Please respect copyright.PENANA7NY2VM997Q
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,204Please respect copyright.PENANApt8btp5OEb
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,204Please respect copyright.PENANAGhVr2udk5B
the echoes of forgotten songs204Please respect copyright.PENANAuVVu4wu8DH
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,204Please respect copyright.PENANAJCVhdHD71T
bears artistry within its grasp—204Please respect copyright.PENANAwZTU1GfTrA
a painted veil of grief and dusk,204Please respect copyright.PENANAxBzofgSHON
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
