Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,254Please respect copyright.PENANAmkLwd86PdM
its petals laced with silver dust,254Please respect copyright.PENANAPkFFpgLMia
whispers secrets in the dark—254Please respect copyright.PENANAv74yVhLlpq
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,254Please respect copyright.PENANAfyjVkVhKSV
their marble lips now cracked and worn,254Please respect copyright.PENANADkmlvN8MXO
yet in their ruin, grace remains—254Please respect copyright.PENANAJ3eoaYTWWE
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls254Please respect copyright.PENANA38BEvfh4RT
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,254Please respect copyright.PENANAvsT0q1UGE3
their fractured glass refracts the past,254Please respect copyright.PENANAd8Gou6RGb4
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,254Please respect copyright.PENANAvSm0Dg0lUG
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,254Please respect copyright.PENANAsWfbf3yoA0
the echoes of forgotten songs254Please respect copyright.PENANAPoIFpqFKbg
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,254Please respect copyright.PENANA6qXtoGS3Wh
bears artistry within its grasp—254Please respect copyright.PENANAH3Khwp7XVs
a painted veil of grief and dusk,254Please respect copyright.PENANAhsKdOwsHEx
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
