Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsoC7iu82CE
its petals laced with silver dust,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡaLfOQEmbTm
whispers secrets in the dark—110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJAWgVZZLzG
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuX836T3nA
their marble lips now cracked and worn,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡHAPnp9gFCf
yet in their ruin, grace remains—110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡxAz7ZkZtks
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡfyKKSHTja5
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjuN7H8zv6L
their fractured glass refracts the past,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIFtbnENBli
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpgKwGi8xdP
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡsRd5PgGleq
the echoes of forgotten songs110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡnc0yH7sYOI
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzvLZvZLLko
bears artistry within its grasp—110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡIjXLqkVOSF
a painted veil of grief and dusk,110Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVMfqN56jxb
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
