Honeysuckle Trace

 

A gaping hole is all I see, where lately honeysuckle spread.

A sweet smell with a memory, intoxicated with dread

The light is fading and the shadows call

The dark invading, colours pall. 

Is it really time to make that call? and put sanity on the line.

 

I pause, the calm before the squall.

But, I cannot hide forever – not this time.  Could I ever?

My delusions are fading.  Can I sever their intrusions, degrading?

A voice makes me turn and shudder.

He speaks softly, but I recognise his stutter

 

Another chance - is it worth a go?

"The honeysuckle - all cut down?" The answer a resounding no.

"But - I saw the gap. And why the frown?"

He reaches out to dry a tear. 

Familiar scent, warm embrace - let me forget the place...

 

My honeysuckle mind erase - Memories lost without a trace

    [Some of the internal rhyming might read more easily with this slight change of line breaks. Hope that's OK Islander8]

    A gaping hole is all I see, where lately honeysuckle spread.
    A sweet smell with a memory, intoxicated with dread
    The light is fading and the shadows call
    The dark invading, colours pall.

    I pause, the calm before the squall. But, I cannot hide forever – not this time.
    Could I ever? My delusions are fading.
