Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,78Please respect copyright.PENANAHF4Db5hdAB
its petals laced with silver dust,78Please respect copyright.PENANAoHl5XUZebb
whispers secrets in the dark—78Please respect copyright.PENANAsEqqBvBMkI
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,78Please respect copyright.PENANAB7xPq6zkKW
their marble lips now cracked and worn,78Please respect copyright.PENANAFDOUOyPiGQ
yet in their ruin, grace remains—78Please respect copyright.PENANA3biqxgfHmI
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls78Please respect copyright.PENANAChmc9Dgdiq
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,78Please respect copyright.PENANAQkjMvk8UI2
their fractured glass refracts the past,78Please respect copyright.PENANALLBdeq7WHb
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,78Please respect copyright.PENANAoFNyX9AK32
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,78Please respect copyright.PENANA2HJrB3mFtj
the echoes of forgotten songs78Please respect copyright.PENANAbHlKxT0xIY
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,78Please respect copyright.PENANAUACoHKKSSd
bears artistry within its grasp—78Please respect copyright.PENANALjqrICk7CY
a painted veil of grief and dusk,78Please respect copyright.PENANArVWfOu2oaZ
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
