Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZHBhqIEg9U
its petals laced with silver dust,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwUJNknZ62m
whispers secrets in the dark—151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡF5azCc5jRv
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzuP371WBwR
their marble lips now cracked and worn,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4SwRbdpY4H
yet in their ruin, grace remains—151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqS4WJLmnnx
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡul7uHKjucC
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxfDRcNBThH
their fractured glass refracts the past,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ28uDHKCUAH
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡML9vrULCGu
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8vEvJqaTpj
the echoes of forgotten songs151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ0E1d613c7
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgQTMUZD1nW
bears artistry within its grasp—151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGsxsJH6dv
a painted veil of grief and dusk,151Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡW6QkCbHeFZ
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
