Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,102Please respect copyright.PENANAf9uvS4bnuN
its petals laced with silver dust,102Please respect copyright.PENANA22v780VxZH
whispers secrets in the dark—102Please respect copyright.PENANAa8a4kLRMVd
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,102Please respect copyright.PENANAWNKblR5MP6
their marble lips now cracked and worn,102Please respect copyright.PENANAozyePc0I5z
yet in their ruin, grace remains—102Please respect copyright.PENANAPXkNvAIpN6
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls102Please respect copyright.PENANA143ICYyvde
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,102Please respect copyright.PENANAaISUOVtyZJ
their fractured glass refracts the past,102Please respect copyright.PENANAeqtOiGBrXO
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,102Please respect copyright.PENANAN5dVIrgNQY
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,102Please respect copyright.PENANAuvezg4x3vh
the echoes of forgotten songs102Please respect copyright.PENANAaczSj1byqN
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,102Please respect copyright.PENANAmmV0AxIWjz
bears artistry within its grasp—102Please respect copyright.PENANA4IiOC1CtiP
a painted veil of grief and dusk,102Please respect copyright.PENANATYP6JBgcBy
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
