Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡrJmem0YCeF
its petals laced with silver dust,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpHcRDcHgp1
whispers secrets in the dark—16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡT9V4xtngoQ
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡCjAuosH2Ew
their marble lips now cracked and worn,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡidI5FvpKUt
yet in their ruin, grace remains—16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVv9lRgWdil
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡVPESz8Nnt2
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡPkPrLBZesY
their fractured glass refracts the past,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡm95bNzncuf
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOGPazPyuYw
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvWwLgCoYWH
the echoes of forgotten songs16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡdXyo6jZSEc
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJRaLDGKrjR
bears artistry within its grasp—16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡUTSUYWEwXQ
a painted veil of grief and dusk,16Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡwmSePySWRB
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
