Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,218Please respect copyright.PENANA9Af9LCb3KP
its petals laced with silver dust,218Please respect copyright.PENANAGATgUe6sEn
whispers secrets in the dark—218Please respect copyright.PENANAbaDYhojTlZ
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,218Please respect copyright.PENANAWEq4DAYGxV
their marble lips now cracked and worn,218Please respect copyright.PENANAL89kgK8Zwh
yet in their ruin, grace remains—218Please respect copyright.PENANAfsJvsp4iXa
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls218Please respect copyright.PENANAwtExSgaX9Q
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,218Please respect copyright.PENANAon87Y990CC
their fractured glass refracts the past,218Please respect copyright.PENANAASie0pPJ4H
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,218Please respect copyright.PENANAGjLiyx6oow
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,218Please respect copyright.PENANAufIiaWifZA
the echoes of forgotten songs218Please respect copyright.PENANA9viqgDrk4W
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,218Please respect copyright.PENANA3HH6QDS6hS
bears artistry within its grasp—218Please respect copyright.PENANAS9dgZDzCyY
a painted veil of grief and dusk,218Please respect copyright.PENANAdtkMxnPbsB
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
