Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,224Please respect copyright.PENANALQfAtrXk5z
its petals laced with silver dust,224Please respect copyright.PENANAqpvhT11pLh
whispers secrets in the dark—224Please respect copyright.PENANAvDjY2H5n6W
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,224Please respect copyright.PENANAsmLAeh9rK2
their marble lips now cracked and worn,224Please respect copyright.PENANA0uzibPXBSz
yet in their ruin, grace remains—224Please respect copyright.PENANAjWW9sloPoO
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls224Please respect copyright.PENANA9coayCbTWB
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,224Please respect copyright.PENANAhcEwThFDrw
their fractured glass refracts the past,224Please respect copyright.PENANAC0KkmAxuSy
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,224Please respect copyright.PENANAYviTjTbwEf
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,224Please respect copyright.PENANA7A2k5LoDT5
the echoes of forgotten songs224Please respect copyright.PENANArJrw1tuUtJ
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,224Please respect copyright.PENANA6cUGXhqyFl
bears artistry within its grasp—224Please respect copyright.PENANAyijPsxNzx3
a painted veil of grief and dusk,224Please respect copyright.PENANA1waDQwZX2s
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
