Elegance in Decay
A Lament of Beauty and Ruin
A wilted rose in twilight’s grasp,12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡEOlDYRvMVy
its petals laced with silver dust,12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡRzR3JPQefE
whispers secrets in the dark—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZVSrGLWgWi
a bloom of sorrow, soft as rust.
The statues weep with hollow eyes,12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡWk43pbaGzK
their marble lips now cracked and worn,12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡa67VIgO5JJ
yet in their ruin, grace remains—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8Jwouu6o2s
a beauty lost, yet never torn.
The chandeliers of broken halls12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4MOKN6X6wZ
still flicker with a ghostly gleam,12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡvjTuWusET5
their fractured glass refracts the past,12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡDHfdt836Ek
a haunting light—a dying dream.
And in the graveyard’s quiet breath,12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡZ3jnXRVaTc
where ivy drapes the nameless stones,12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ1WZJaTLwg0
the echoes of forgotten songs12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡOrP8SxnT1z
still linger in the weathered bones.
For even death, so cold, so still,12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ8I63wMVEch
bears artistry within its grasp—12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡlqjBk6DXZV
a painted veil of grief and dusk,12Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡMOOZvDAES6
where beauty and the macabre clasp.
