Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,138Please respect copyright.PENANA7DtaSXJZQq
its petals laced with silver dust,138Please respect copyright.PENANAMD9NqSfoBO
whispers secrets in the dark—138Please respect copyright.PENANAR0bbAR8XPG
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,138Please respect copyright.PENANAYTPia6lhP6
their marble lips now cracked and worn,138Please respect copyright.PENANAm4ULWC5W1Y
yet in their ruin, grace remains—138Please respect copyright.PENANAlhq9gRhvn7
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls138Please respect copyright.PENANAtc3Rx0QOoB
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,138Please respect copyright.PENANA1ukYqyrGLU
their fractured glass refracts the past,138Please respect copyright.PENANACnhMmZRiG6
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,138Please respect copyright.PENANABKnIepNepe
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,138Please respect copyright.PENANAbQKYJJL7Jf
the echoes of forgotten songs138Please respect copyright.PENANAkygjOyZhcL
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,138Please respect copyright.PENANA6ZM1RwGWKj
bears artistry within its grasp—138Please respect copyright.PENANAbCR4gWe1Gm
a painted veil of grief and dusk,138Please respect copyright.PENANA7Mh4B8Rgn4
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
