Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,143Please respect copyright.PENANA6F9j9cwXuc
its petals laced with silver dust,143Please respect copyright.PENANAf9UbbidRcp
whispers secrets in the dark—143Please respect copyright.PENANAyJnawPdDwG
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,143Please respect copyright.PENANA9rxzyru4I1
their marble lips now cracked and worn,143Please respect copyright.PENANAWU6zY3vtao
yet in their ruin, grace remains—143Please respect copyright.PENANALQmONBebpZ
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls143Please respect copyright.PENANA9GGJYOz4lg
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,143Please respect copyright.PENANAUAonViXAe9
their fractured glass refracts the past,143Please respect copyright.PENANALbbQgX69nz
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,143Please respect copyright.PENANAujGrVmUhaL
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,143Please respect copyright.PENANASsCVMLKNtU
the echoes of forgotten songs143Please respect copyright.PENANAkgs3FUOlyk
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,143Please respect copyright.PENANASV0Qr36wbe
bears artistry within its grasp—143Please respect copyright.PENANAIaP4I6o5ag
a painted veil of grief and dusk,143Please respect copyright.PENANABT6V4BbOOL
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
