Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,224Please respect copyright.PENANAYAlPtPGdDl
its petals laced with silver dust,224Please respect copyright.PENANAG0FCqO3n3W
whispers secrets in the dark—224Please respect copyright.PENANAWF6wD4Sgm3
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,224Please respect copyright.PENANA8gX8FKxXzk
their marble lips now cracked and worn,224Please respect copyright.PENANAvxKuNIoPro
yet in their ruin, grace remains—224Please respect copyright.PENANAwBxPo4dhzX
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls224Please respect copyright.PENANAUkrXR22lA4
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,224Please respect copyright.PENANAEiiewXiPAA
their fractured glass refracts the past,224Please respect copyright.PENANAAKZuKVLVpi
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,224Please respect copyright.PENANAf5z23bizc3
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,224Please respect copyright.PENANAdpU8BYA3zu
the echoes of forgotten songs224Please respect copyright.PENANAiKw9UkzVSY
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,224Please respect copyright.PENANAPZqDsm1Qrr
bears artistry within its grasp—224Please respect copyright.PENANAB6F5YRtaJD
a painted veil of grief and dusk,224Please respect copyright.PENANASg2QxTXRJt
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
