Image for the poem In lieu of a kiss

In lieu of a kiss

In lieu of a kiss is the shading of bliss
Wanton, unruly and scattered
In lieu of a song is a silence, prolonged
In the naught, it’s the wisdom that’s shattered
In lieu of the lain on a wrath that will wane
From a spine that is measured as hollow
In lieu of a breath that is apt to be fresh
its the devil whose words we will swallow
