Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,106Please respect copyright.PENANAYL5ARmPftv
its petals laced with silver dust,106Please respect copyright.PENANAp9BsZKkhvo
whispers secrets in the dark—106Please respect copyright.PENANAZSRkuNOz5I
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,106Please respect copyright.PENANAWXwAy2LELB
their marble lips now cracked and worn,106Please respect copyright.PENANACr5Q9DAZSa
yet in their ruin, grace remains—106Please respect copyright.PENANAmrvtMzEcq9
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls106Please respect copyright.PENANAgW9jPa5FSi
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,106Please respect copyright.PENANA7x16pnCuMt
their fractured glass refracts the past,106Please respect copyright.PENANAI2lgaBp6Hw
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,106Please respect copyright.PENANABDm78jwxtO
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,106Please respect copyright.PENANAV8mYBC2uFE
the echoes of forgotten songs106Please respect copyright.PENANA94xNlMmexd
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,106Please respect copyright.PENANANkfaZoyIC8
bears artistry within its grasp—106Please respect copyright.PENANATX6vCsCbRY
a painted veil of grief and dusk,106Please respect copyright.PENANAgveEBRymMd
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
