Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwKLDdSBCmW
its petals laced with silver dust,191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUycDWybC17
whispers secrets in the dark—191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡYrBjbudggK
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26wPtJ5xqi
their marble lips now cracked and worn,191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡBj2xAx26H1
yet in their ruin, grace remains—191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5Hol3XeADW
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡLbZESFguKw
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm1PFNOJOCg
their fractured glass refracts the past,191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9RkZfOFiEg
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvY5qIoXWSF
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXWQpmjmSTO
the echoes of forgotten songs191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHgUr7Dln8f
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eYR3zy438
bears artistry within its grasp—191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ6VpUT9vBA4
a painted veil of grief and dusk,191Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAz9uR6fpQz
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
