Defiance in color

Rose-colored glasses are not the problem

but a temporary solution in avoiding a sort of Catatonic state.

A source, a lesser ambitious soul can

hold and twist like a kaleidoscope of denial.


Just the cheerfulness of the rose color itself suggests that the situation

 be viewed as feminine, soft, not to be taken seriously.


So ask yourself this; is the trance behind the hue, unconscious or

otherwise a brilliant piece of trickery exhibited for pure secretive pleasure?

A roses thorns are not a fragile decoration but a visually sharp reminder

of the pain anything hidden behind beauty is capable of.

Dear Rottiestyl

Enjoyed the read, and I have to agree but I am a sucker for the the deep hue of a rose, hate the thorn of course. Great write. Lyz.
