Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,83Please respect copyright.PENANA3GRkepUsB2
its petals laced with silver dust,83Please respect copyright.PENANAq7kBpTM2Sq
whispers secrets in the dark—83Please respect copyright.PENANAZKU30rtMIs
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,83Please respect copyright.PENANAOdw0Hb0hbR
their marble lips now cracked and worn,83Please respect copyright.PENANAL3fL6FzYKf
yet in their ruin, grace remains—83Please respect copyright.PENANAAoKFl1rvaR
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls83Please respect copyright.PENANAUIRsHUjgM8
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,83Please respect copyright.PENANA5WDo1yYAdP
their fractured glass refracts the past,83Please respect copyright.PENANACGzgMXh1qa
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,83Please respect copyright.PENANAGnusCnoHNv
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,83Please respect copyright.PENANAA39dQ8vC8N
the echoes of forgotten songs83Please respect copyright.PENANAmqxKRyTdbI
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,83Please respect copyright.PENANAh3y6lCZbWp
bears artistry within its grasp—83Please respect copyright.PENANAPS0phKjFL6
a painted veil of grief and dusk,83Please respect copyright.PENANAMRFp7By1MB
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
