Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡoI91CUNcJR
its petals laced with silver dust,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlZAbFqpbiL
whispers secrets in the dark—14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡzdGPYdtBkD
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJ9pXTYZvzW
their marble lips now cracked and worn,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ5K7hGvq0sC
yet in their ruin, grace remains—14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡo1vK16Uzam
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ26Q8TSSZPn
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9MeLi7gHkf
their fractured glass refracts the past,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡN1Bys9gei6
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡztq8bTmVwa
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ9Utv5AKJZv
the echoes of forgotten songs14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPvFjLwuaX
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡiMbmzqUHCq
bears artistry within its grasp—14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ3ZjgDxBRqz
a painted veil of grief and dusk,14Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ2J9W6EfZ4e
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
