A Dream's War of the Roses

From my slumbering mind, spawned a dream,
One that flowed in a violent stream,
A clash of forces that couldn't oppose;
Of the ruby rose and the paper rose.

A discord across time and space,
A conflict that made my resting heart race,
A feud that nearly dampened my dry eyes,
Caused by inner despair on the rise.

As I awoke from the nightmare,
I am freed from the deadly scare,
Immense danger this libretto poses;
The wilting of my beloved roses.

But the dream served as a premonition;
I've then learned of my omission,
From the memory of the ruby rose;
Now I strive to maintain my position,
To prevent my rescission,
From the pleasance of the paper rose.
