Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,97Please respect copyright.PENANAGwBhG94nH8
its petals laced with silver dust,97Please respect copyright.PENANAK5DUn9qu3r
whispers secrets in the dark—97Please respect copyright.PENANAQ2eCeQtzdU
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,97Please respect copyright.PENANAJvvnuM88s6
their marble lips now cracked and worn,97Please respect copyright.PENANA45GG36dgtY
yet in their ruin, grace remains—97Please respect copyright.PENANAGDgaGAHFzl
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls97Please respect copyright.PENANAvB0sIoP5B6
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,97Please respect copyright.PENANAmwqjYk4hey
their fractured glass refracts the past,97Please respect copyright.PENANAz5QofmdXhE
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,97Please respect copyright.PENANA4dNJ581oDB
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,97Please respect copyright.PENANAsRPBBBAhFT
the echoes of forgotten songs97Please respect copyright.PENANARwwFbTLXlN
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,97Please respect copyright.PENANABHAny1nQq6
bears artistry within its grasp—97Please respect copyright.PENANAVPsxJClwLP
a painted veil of grief and dusk,97Please respect copyright.PENANAIB0kkXQmrQ
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
