Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoFBufTIlsw
its petals laced with silver dust,232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ7kQvkG0hGX
whispers secrets in the dark—232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVDLBvdPwDU
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9eQVyV9fDw
their marble lips now cracked and worn,232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaEVYO8hokE
yet in their ruin, grace remains—232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvXkuwF4RAB
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwvpifohgiL
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqXwXzNknRB
their fractured glass refracts the past,232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtUI4vBugWM
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡICzqXim8hN
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3qOaw4IvMF
the echoes of forgotten songs232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡAyp2DUbPdm
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5ylNxE1upP
bears artistry within its grasp—232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8EpBuRZb4h
a painted veil of grief and dusk,232Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgUXWVjs9m2
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
