Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,250Please respect copyright.PENANAICfP5AcihT
its petals laced with silver dust,250Please respect copyright.PENANAFQA2HVmZEn
whispers secrets in the dark—250Please respect copyright.PENANAil37DjJ8ZB
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,250Please respect copyright.PENANACCX5sWRFTy
their marble lips now cracked and worn,250Please respect copyright.PENANAU6pD5k259b
yet in their ruin, grace remains—250Please respect copyright.PENANAMofv5ahTxX
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls250Please respect copyright.PENANAEDPAThxuGn
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,250Please respect copyright.PENANA8kQYwtwGwo
their fractured glass refracts the past,250Please respect copyright.PENANA5tlHfaz9id
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,250Please respect copyright.PENANAJpsqTkeMs9
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,250Please respect copyright.PENANA1uA7A0ZFgf
the echoes of forgotten songs250Please respect copyright.PENANAs70AWLovXM
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,250Please respect copyright.PENANARzku3S37pP
bears artistry within its grasp—250Please respect copyright.PENANADOIU1p2dG8
a painted veil of grief and dusk,250Please respect copyright.PENANADPq5Fnp7KS
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
