Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,112Please respect copyright.PENANAJNocPzkDWk
its petals laced with silver dust,112Please respect copyright.PENANAP3DgvvQPfG
whispers secrets in the dark—112Please respect copyright.PENANAbSLr9E1TiI
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,112Please respect copyright.PENANAfpotWaSGv7
their marble lips now cracked and worn,112Please respect copyright.PENANADEGbra6yLb
yet in their ruin, grace remains—112Please respect copyright.PENANAvFOtsmg4e3
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls112Please respect copyright.PENANApGhTndDIZc
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,112Please respect copyright.PENANAv4PjzgXFN1
their fractured glass refracts the past,112Please respect copyright.PENANAEYWHOjjQ7x
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,112Please respect copyright.PENANAEAiw80J8QO
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,112Please respect copyright.PENANALevYbf0LHG
the echoes of forgotten songs112Please respect copyright.PENANAh0xOqN1pdA
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,112Please respect copyright.PENANAPBNGMYiEPu
bears artistry within its grasp—112Please respect copyright.PENANAXpZgjo5x9t
a painted veil of grief and dusk,112Please respect copyright.PENANAmM97hQ8yTV
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
