Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,209Please respect copyright.PENANAimZOTDMtKd
its petals laced with silver dust,209Please respect copyright.PENANA8mN6nLvxaK
whispers secrets in the dark—209Please respect copyright.PENANA0PeiqFmmuX
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,209Please respect copyright.PENANAtmN63naXx3
their marble lips now cracked and worn,209Please respect copyright.PENANA6QfoY4ndsE
yet in their ruin, grace remains—209Please respect copyright.PENANABXgj0iSsCw
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls209Please respect copyright.PENANA48CkRYqPdM
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,209Please respect copyright.PENANAAvTYMRGwFg
their fractured glass refracts the past,209Please respect copyright.PENANA9Wi1CFkujC
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,209Please respect copyright.PENANA9uBILwYM76
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,209Please respect copyright.PENANA5KnZxMNfQe
the echoes of forgotten songs209Please respect copyright.PENANAyrXeDiM2P7
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,209Please respect copyright.PENANAHkzLeJGTZG
bears artistry within its grasp—209Please respect copyright.PENANA9WrBfBtAOv
a painted veil of grief and dusk,209Please respect copyright.PENANApUP7nosAUa
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
