Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,230Please respect copyright.PENANA84LZpgwxWL
its petals laced with silver dust,230Please respect copyright.PENANAZpCg4nJqbG
whispers secrets in the dark—230Please respect copyright.PENANAv4VKsI8b3e
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,230Please respect copyright.PENANAthaXZkgzFD
their marble lips now cracked and worn,230Please respect copyright.PENANAxJ3vJu7QlK
yet in their ruin, grace remains—230Please respect copyright.PENANAjf1gkrEoGZ
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls230Please respect copyright.PENANAyj63tDp4tp
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,230Please respect copyright.PENANAe48OLBbA4b
their fractured glass refracts the past,230Please respect copyright.PENANAMg1IaqhkWZ
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,230Please respect copyright.PENANAERscpdk6M3
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,230Please respect copyright.PENANAyPxFtk5t6f
the echoes of forgotten songs230Please respect copyright.PENANAQrh7yHzPKZ
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,230Please respect copyright.PENANAgPx97Met1k
bears artistry within its grasp—230Please respect copyright.PENANAgXKBTy1PiO
a painted veil of grief and dusk,230Please respect copyright.PENANAfVXq7fIcqs
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
