Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,148Please respect copyright.PENANAPasivnaiBB
its petals laced with silver dust,148Please respect copyright.PENANAZeTqEYV7jO
whispers secrets in the dark—148Please respect copyright.PENANAnkSyPVN5nX
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,148Please respect copyright.PENANAJEsYueBc0E
their marble lips now cracked and worn,148Please respect copyright.PENANAeq7wvhOdyJ
yet in their ruin, grace remains—148Please respect copyright.PENANALHZ4gHGPtX
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls148Please respect copyright.PENANAbBLWfGx68x
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,148Please respect copyright.PENANAsUHHgf3NlN
their fractured glass refracts the past,148Please respect copyright.PENANAOGLqGP4aDQ
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,148Please respect copyright.PENANASfNQGY7mjC
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,148Please respect copyright.PENANA2aN2TkQRQY
the echoes of forgotten songs148Please respect copyright.PENANAEhM2HKbHar
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,148Please respect copyright.PENANAooudBY7kbD
bears artistry within its grasp—148Please respect copyright.PENANA62QRPZNYsl
a painted veil of grief and dusk,148Please respect copyright.PENANASQLshJsXxt
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
