Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,206Please respect copyright.PENANAYs116byvT3
its petals laced with silver dust,206Please respect copyright.PENANApT8II58dSp
whispers secrets in the dark—206Please respect copyright.PENANAJHSBGGhFLa
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,206Please respect copyright.PENANAm9DsLA54yC
their marble lips now cracked and worn,206Please respect copyright.PENANAgz7dwH0ntO
yet in their ruin, grace remains—206Please respect copyright.PENANARcxgVsQj3V
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls206Please respect copyright.PENANA4KvFhMXeIl
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,206Please respect copyright.PENANAPp4IWELvy1
their fractured glass refracts the past,206Please respect copyright.PENANAvMnS7KPKXL
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,206Please respect copyright.PENANAYGNOImEMxl
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,206Please respect copyright.PENANAeAN7GCs2sC
the echoes of forgotten songs206Please respect copyright.PENANA04sHjKQB1r
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,206Please respect copyright.PENANAI5C5eu10ca
bears artistry within its grasp—206Please respect copyright.PENANAdgeOQRHIfg
a painted veil of grief and dusk,206Please respect copyright.PENANARMH8O1cfvJ
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
