Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,216Please respect copyright.PENANAk1Cbzbkudj
its petals laced with silver dust,216Please respect copyright.PENANAeLqvEEbnOo
whispers secrets in the dark—216Please respect copyright.PENANAOE5mokqMAj
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,216Please respect copyright.PENANAqfZudKU1zY
their marble lips now cracked and worn,216Please respect copyright.PENANA1y986HrBWx
yet in their ruin, grace remains—216Please respect copyright.PENANAfhayTAiP4h
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls216Please respect copyright.PENANAp0fyj01cdC
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,216Please respect copyright.PENANA4twUPxgTMP
their fractured glass refracts the past,216Please respect copyright.PENANAoB32ZK8Tv3
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,216Please respect copyright.PENANAi7bWC0CjbE
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,216Please respect copyright.PENANAVOwWpf3M6y
the echoes of forgotten songs216Please respect copyright.PENANATFxBQXy6Ox
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,216Please respect copyright.PENANABSFfKWkQ4t
bears artistry within its grasp—216Please respect copyright.PENANAlNtbRrdXIz
a painted veil of grief and dusk,216Please respect copyright.PENANAWvcWR3nU5i
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
