Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,114Please respect copyright.PENANAijMcsO8Qia
its petals laced with silver dust,114Please respect copyright.PENANAuwRlin5PXR
whispers secrets in the dark—114Please respect copyright.PENANAn97Bthmh7l
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,114Please respect copyright.PENANAAWycU4zI3F
their marble lips now cracked and worn,114Please respect copyright.PENANA4fnQZcFwI8
yet in their ruin, grace remains—114Please respect copyright.PENANAEWVILTzW4f
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls114Please respect copyright.PENANAVLlMZrlV0s
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,114Please respect copyright.PENANApLSwFb2nNw
their fractured glass refracts the past,114Please respect copyright.PENANAngAzlyZ87P
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,114Please respect copyright.PENANAik0OMEVFbh
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,114Please respect copyright.PENANADQDP1z1viT
the echoes of forgotten songs114Please respect copyright.PENANA3aBiVmSM4o
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,114Please respect copyright.PENANAAJJLbrKMrY
bears artistry within its grasp—114Please respect copyright.PENANAwnbY8s5XOM
a painted veil of grief and dusk,114Please respect copyright.PENANAOq8uIBMhYE
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
