Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡq0iA4pTA6r
its petals laced with silver dust,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrZQ6UVKytR
whispers secrets in the dark—194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ0vzurcuWrR
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡkrjRC4soZM
their marble lips now cracked and worn,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXo4MESBvxK
yet in their ruin, grace remains—194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3CHU8hoLr4
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡngOSlA1SmK
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZT4JmzEUeX
their fractured glass refracts the past,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwBZX4LAImU
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIKIsQLPc0v
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ08rveUh052
the echoes of forgotten songs194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡmB3eAtLOhd
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡA0TPDPIR5b
bears artistry within its grasp—194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡqwnmgbOwDU
a painted veil of grief and dusk,194Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡX85aw5wIkq
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
