Time the harbinger,

     A silent immortal predator to which there is no shelter, All pulsating echoes within humming as beacons of life grow evermore strange kaleidoscope apparatus dim with each moment the hour demon glass's sands fall towards the end of all... This is the agreement we all share; in life!

In lieu of our,
United participation in...
Changing the world for better,
Or worse.

Time,

     The silent predator to unto which the beacon of all life's pulse grows evermore strangely dim; In Her wake; We disappear! 

In lieu... 

Every sleepless night,

      Is a screaming physical tangents of eyes swinging relentlessly transcribed emotions as bruises left as shame described as an accident upon the lives of those... Who're supposed to matter beyond those awake and wondering outside... The 'protection' of this... A shelter!

In lieu of,
Better Humans
Existing as husbands!

Her Again... II

Darling you've,

      Changed me beyond all the faithless darkness woven from the eclipsing Demon up hierarchy of greed above!  A relief at the healing beyond that which could ever be but lonely expectations greets me at the dawning of every new day!

In lieu of...
Her chameleon celebration of equality's struggle
To exist & to survive!

Her... Again! I

Darling you've changed....

      Me and I have only relief at the healing, You're the sun and I am but the waves breaking in the twilight rays of forlorn skies!

In lieu of...
Her

Every night's...
     
      A terrorist's personification of shores wherein anyone within the shelter is afraid; to sleep...

In lieu of... A dream, 
For a home where every wife
Whose husband exists...
Can sleep without these echoes!

Every night's terror,

      Is a conviction born of an abused into abusive human being thriving on that which withers from the phantoms of its decay, Hatred inspired by a prison of silence unwilling to stand... Until it could not any more... Crippled by wounds for which there was no magical help emergency trap line door to last dial stand call!

In lieu of,
Giving thanks...
For being alive
Standing up to...
Death in your lover's eyes!
