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.
