Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,108Please respect copyright.PENANAhDazbtHhai
its petals laced with silver dust,108Please respect copyright.PENANAR3JlLPxiYU
whispers secrets in the dark—108Please respect copyright.PENANADVAN4Xv1yO
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,108Please respect copyright.PENANA31eBF3Gre8
their marble lips now cracked and worn,108Please respect copyright.PENANAgWzzf84SOw
yet in their ruin, grace remains—108Please respect copyright.PENANACFbXHRlnZ7
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls108Please respect copyright.PENANAs0SdMhvWc8
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,108Please respect copyright.PENANAAcMTuzkvkW
their fractured glass refracts the past,108Please respect copyright.PENANAl3qXVlmmxW
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,108Please respect copyright.PENANAThEBH59odY
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,108Please respect copyright.PENANA5Yro6J6t8R
the echoes of forgotten songs108Please respect copyright.PENANAPtI4gqQ6tc
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,108Please respect copyright.PENANAvdZ7QqU7LU
bears artistry within its grasp—108Please respect copyright.PENANA1P3XkxUIBF
a painted veil of grief and dusk,108Please respect copyright.PENANA2JFtNXazQ4
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
