Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,216Please respect copyright.PENANA8i9bjvXnxC
its petals laced with silver dust,216Please respect copyright.PENANAIeSsW2Oeqd
whispers secrets in the dark—216Please respect copyright.PENANAr8trEG0crk
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,216Please respect copyright.PENANAkYEO63RrjZ
their marble lips now cracked and worn,216Please respect copyright.PENANAIvb0OEUUAK
yet in their ruin, grace remains—216Please respect copyright.PENANAJoS5udycRc
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls216Please respect copyright.PENANAbbqnDyaUx8
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,216Please respect copyright.PENANAHTkpKYQBzC
their fractured glass refracts the past,216Please respect copyright.PENANACuUjhzIJER
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,216Please respect copyright.PENANAaX96HERKCh
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,216Please respect copyright.PENANAbSKCO2BWCZ
the echoes of forgotten songs216Please respect copyright.PENANA0ENprOLm71
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,216Please respect copyright.PENANAwZykZ1KKtz
bears artistry within its grasp—216Please respect copyright.PENANA7YB0BTzPAi
a painted veil of grief and dusk,216Please respect copyright.PENANAWT8cSHAiWs
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
