Rainbow Roses

Indiscernible shades—

A gradient to quell prying periphery!

Watercolor transitions,

A palette to conquer metacarpal denial.

In a fluid fenced spectrum

faces sway as opinions,

by an elected eloquence.

And in this court,

a fusion of similarities,

Parallel the illusion of distinction

Unaffected stalks

lend to fated standstills

and vanity kissed vacant chills.

Don’t let them fool you.

Beauty masks their mirrored minds,

Their weathered faces a harmony,

But the colors hide the lines.

Seemingly, they dare to breathe uniquely.

But see—

In constrained gasping gulps,

Indulging their veins with that pleasant nectar,

The stock that sustains their feeble ecstasy.

While their vibrant velvet happenstances

Seek brighter futures—

Liberty! They conceit,

But in this mottled court

they can only lease their chains.

Don’t let them fool you!

Without hope they settle for roots.

Rainbow flora,

Bound to the ground,

Their raucous chorus is desperation

And nothing can be done.

It is a pity.

But my,

how they are exquisite.
