Lilacs Under Siege

Chameleon eyes of fear pinned beneath her writer's face  
is it Sophie's one demise when she writes and doesn't blink    
As the fertile seed of doubt arrives like pepper scented mace   
fear is the only slinking cat alive beneath her scented ink

Fear is a slinking cat I find beneath the lilacs of my mind." - Sophie Tunnell
