Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ40dwwam1io
its petals laced with silver dust,90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡGGYAXgltkT
whispers secrets in the dark—90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡgRpHbJQuSE
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡpRjf1fOaRj
their marble lips now cracked and worn,90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOcJeJutrai
yet in their ruin, grace remains—90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡjrcieN07kP
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEuknadPCQY
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOhZqwSjqHM
their fractured glass refracts the past,90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡFbA2G7fNEn
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡbrWHuChNjO
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡJdb712Ztgf
the echoes of forgotten songs90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡtBrxjWfCNF
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlTTAN6RMy2
bears artistry within its grasp—90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡXaOygwxodT
a painted veil of grief and dusk,90Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡr9lMcx5Oqx
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
