Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,253Please respect copyright.PENANAgWTunpgwUo
its petals laced with silver dust,253Please respect copyright.PENANABDGuUh1Od5
whispers secrets in the dark—253Please respect copyright.PENANAgz9U1AADqh
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,253Please respect copyright.PENANA91NUfsUfZ2
their marble lips now cracked and worn,253Please respect copyright.PENANA7N6zReTL4j
yet in their ruin, grace remains—253Please respect copyright.PENANAYy39HnJAkH
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls253Please respect copyright.PENANA0HGE8IGmIs
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,253Please respect copyright.PENANATroM4GzaWZ
their fractured glass refracts the past,253Please respect copyright.PENANAIoitSMa85v
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,253Please respect copyright.PENANADN2ylNJsnp
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,253Please respect copyright.PENANAPDR7HyojMa
the echoes of forgotten songs253Please respect copyright.PENANART9GhyqHMS
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,253Please respect copyright.PENANA0gz40BvNxz
bears artistry within its grasp—253Please respect copyright.PENANANBM1i4i9xh
a painted veil of grief and dusk,253Please respect copyright.PENANAiePG4UygJo
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
