Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,111Please respect copyright.PENANAwajggR2HJX
its petals laced with silver dust,111Please respect copyright.PENANAWDu148sVyK
whispers secrets in the dark—111Please respect copyright.PENANAxDMsIOyyfA
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,111Please respect copyright.PENANAftq0ycqGHJ
their marble lips now cracked and worn,111Please respect copyright.PENANAMhoP7M32VM
yet in their ruin, grace remains—111Please respect copyright.PENANACnZ5Jar2Bo
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls111Please respect copyright.PENANA0PByjIEf6R
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,111Please respect copyright.PENANA6Da9psIvdF
their fractured glass refracts the past,111Please respect copyright.PENANAR2l3rRiUPK
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,111Please respect copyright.PENANAxh2Y2Sem8W
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,111Please respect copyright.PENANAuSsZZTuvEE
the echoes of forgotten songs111Please respect copyright.PENANAaX0UYpKX1c
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,111Please respect copyright.PENANAKyK6wXviNV
bears artistry within its grasp—111Please respect copyright.PENANA8Ng7rpJioY
a painted veil of grief and dusk,111Please respect copyright.PENANAECsWh49Cs7
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
