Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,227Please respect copyright.PENANADsvz2gwOSH
its petals laced with silver dust,227Please respect copyright.PENANA975xkurqss
whispers secrets in the dark—227Please respect copyright.PENANAnw2TGoAFsS
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,227Please respect copyright.PENANA59kXxzQcZP
their marble lips now cracked and worn,227Please respect copyright.PENANAPCAyhX4SVs
yet in their ruin, grace remains—227Please respect copyright.PENANAXsaqebjeU3
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls227Please respect copyright.PENANA6TRzAo4uG4
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,227Please respect copyright.PENANAtbiTPFxzq5
their fractured glass refracts the past,227Please respect copyright.PENANATuyRgjPniJ
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,227Please respect copyright.PENANA7ZYq92Qba8
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,227Please respect copyright.PENANAmlwzigsAu2
the echoes of forgotten songs227Please respect copyright.PENANAMnzCAVhcBU
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,227Please respect copyright.PENANAluA01pWfNx
bears artistry within its grasp—227Please respect copyright.PENANAOIi9AT7kRz
a painted veil of grief and dusk,227Please respect copyright.PENANAXWlITEm7TE
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
