Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,217Please respect copyright.PENANABy6vDaRxIz
its petals laced with silver dust,217Please respect copyright.PENANA01NFbPB6Fp
whispers secrets in the dark—217Please respect copyright.PENANAEkJaumIrNK
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,217Please respect copyright.PENANA8rZCrTwCxf
their marble lips now cracked and worn,217Please respect copyright.PENANApHpb8NgV3h
yet in their ruin, grace remains—217Please respect copyright.PENANAFemoOM8gGr
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls217Please respect copyright.PENANALQX0NSHViO
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,217Please respect copyright.PENANAlE8PLKZPVx
their fractured glass refracts the past,217Please respect copyright.PENANAfRRjUVX2Jg
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,217Please respect copyright.PENANAgTfgWYtvGG
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,217Please respect copyright.PENANA7MaPPwvwso
the echoes of forgotten songs217Please respect copyright.PENANAfH2JLXD8XQ
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,217Please respect copyright.PENANAVJIbjxNKXz
bears artistry within its grasp—217Please respect copyright.PENANAfi81Qput5I
a painted veil of grief and dusk,217Please respect copyright.PENANASLw1kvQJA1
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
