In Lieu of Soot
The world was my darkness The soot in my blackened sights I once cried in shallows Words entomed within my grave Dug with smiles merrit of fading sorrows My final morrows led by fate Towards the rejoicing of tomorrow. 3.11.23...

You carefully put your life in my hands to bystanders that may come off reckless; I feel like I know what compelled you to in the moments no one else understands; Maybe now you feel safe to be careless looking in my eyes you see what's true; Platonic and yet 'Til death do us part.' downed power lines an emotional mess; Fantasizing with...

Drift In Lieu of Swim
Much like the ocean She was raw and real Not steady, quite deadly Never calm or still The waves were her words Unpredictable as they crash Both influenced by weather Well equipped, bold and brash Perhaps this explains Her addiction to the coast Submerged in wild waters At peace, she would float Submitting to the motion Surrendering to the wind Becoming one with the ocean Drift in lieu of swim...

Premium Member Spring's Coming An Iou In Lieu
Slovenly winter's sojourn lingers, but dwindles away. Petulant cold snaps, squalls and hail the exit price you pay. Riddance wrung from season squeezed by hugs to relent reluctantly. In dawn's budding yolk core, a sign of hope that Spring's door shunt Nurtures renewal, renounces enfeebled winter gloom with enlightened lilt. Get those shoes on, ready for a gamboling, frolicking dance...

In Lieu of Love
In lieu of love give me hate, In lieu of age give me an imagination, even if it is too late. In lieu of sex give me chocolate, In lieu of a grave give me a ride to Mars on a rocket. In lieu of sadness give me happiness and glee, In lieu of pride give me humbleness, please hear...

In Lieu of the Rodeo
Oh cripes I’ve gotta tell yer of a horror ride I had, That beat any bronc or bull I’ve rode, and I must say I’m glad, I’ll never have to ride like that, again to hold me seat. Now rodeo is ‘kiddies’ stuff compared to what I beat. I’d been knockin’ ‘round the circuit an’ was headin’...

Premium Member Rain In Lieu of Snow
If we have precipitation, in any situation, let it be rain in lieu of snow. For me, that is the way to go. If it must rain, then let it flow. Let it be warm enough to be like spring. I am sick and tired of this winter thing. I'm sure many other times it's...

Premium Member In Lieu of a Tail
Every seen a cat chase its own tail Know some guys that have a similar trait In lieu of a tail, they mumble all day Incoherent looking for a mate They walk around bumping into things Oblivious to what's in their way Mumbling, drooling, giggling like a girl Walking around in a daze One thing only that can help these guys A tussle in...

In Lieu of Loving You
Anguished cries in lieu of incoherant whisperings Ambiguous foundations crack beneath our feet Force eyes closed, hopes and dreams, glittering Blood shed and battle cries, exhibit my defeat Clawed hands quarry to grasp a new-found stranger Twisted features unrecognisable upon a face That so freely loved and laughed, void of dangers Now a monster, a miscreation who feeds from disgrace Distorting ecstacy into...
