Crimson roses slow dance to the breeze
on a stage of verdant shrubbery,
their dews, sun kissed
make them glimmer radiantly,
like the redshift stars and galaxies
and the rubies in a bijouterie.

The roses were royalty
to be admired from far-off,
residing in fortresses bastioned
and their thorns were the roundshots.

Immediately as the hands breached the curtain
the shots were fired without any second thought.
They needed no time to be wasted on mentation
cause the thorns
were their first and last resort.

The thorns stuck to the skin
and seeped deep within
while some were caught in the overalls,
initially they pricked a bit
but then the pain,
its sensation
and they
were long long gone.

Little did they know
that the thorns stuck and amassed on their bones
and rather than supporting their stature,
they broke it more.

« Mithridatism can built a resistance to the poisons that you intake.
Practise it for an eternity
and it would do little to nothing
to hamper the stream of poisons
that you let your mind exudate. »
