Lessoning Poems | Examples


Lost but Lessoning

The lost Wonderland

Made me break down all at once,

But I learnt what’s real.

A Refining Fire

I used to imagine that the body
was a sort of fleshy gospel, bound together
by mind and ligaments.
Years of smutch, and oily reduction,
daily, a thin scum to be skimmed -
a process of dross elimination,
but each year there is a teaspoonful of loss
that cannot be explained, made up or accounted for,
more a lessoning and not an alchemy.
If this kind of culinary reduction
keeps losing the fat of me
I will be as nothing,
and maybe that’s the point.

Ms Margerine

Of what you know to be beautiful
never becomes a real thought,

of how you seek it out-
the lessoning of everything combined,

sanctimony as tree's can do when they listen to one another,

serious mistaken identities are just like the reason you came here was to die completely.

My Winter Blue

Misty days and nights call my bluff.
Yesteryear was blinded rough.
We take chances ever so deep.
I myself listed in such sleep.
No winter, whether season or age.
Travels without periods of rage,
Every day of my life seems blue.
Relative back to birth is my clue.
Breaks in periods, life endures.
Lessoning burdens, my soul cures.
Underestimating coldness, a mistake,
Each new day, uneasy, though must make.

Jimmi Cannibis

Jimmi cannabis sweeps,

toward deepening feet,

doesn't call a river to wash me out of the Sea,

I’m deepening the beat...

Jimmi Cannibis leaks-
lie’s of the beast,

jumps out a door when you can’t feel my heat,

wait in the warrior horde if you’d love to hear me speak,

and adore the geeks,

streaking like tweets-

lessoning like the little,

blessings by an unholy fiddle,

crosses to manage the middle,

oh yes,
danger could be yours too ya widow...

Dream On

DREAM ON 
 
I dream on, from my dome to my chest
to my toes and to the tips of my palms. 
We dream on, in the land of the free,  
but where freedom comes at a cost and 
sacrifice for others the achieve their dream. 
  
I dream on, flying over an icy mountain top,  
To the sweat taste of lemon drops,  
To the cool relief of mist burning over a  
desert black top as I brain storm lessoning 
to heart beat of my favorite song.
  
We dream on, from the top of 
lonely tropical island hill top  
to the sit and the smell of a breath
taking Forrest and to a falling
sun afflicting a shining sea
that is the best part of the day 
I rather spend ending enjoying with a beautiful
woman... the sit and the breeze.

So Sweet

So sweet
  The lonesomeness of the city light street
 has me hearing the sound of my heart beat,
 I quickly fall to sleep, I wake up and stand
 looking outside from my widow balcony.
 
 I see two homeless men standing in line
 whom I randomly see in this street,
 scuffling in their packets from a handouts,
 for good bite to eat as they gladly retrieve their treat
 which is a pleasant cite for flooded eyes to see
 moreover on the opposite side of the street,
 I see people set down enjoying
 a late morning sunny breeze in front of a restaurant
 chattering, bonding, eating and drinking as 
 I share with them lessoning to the smooth sound
 of the music, children laughing and playing
 on the playground and on hard concrete street however
 not wanting to hear the havoc of the noise, 
 and the rush of a saturated street.
 
 That is a part of life... which can be sound and can be so sweet.

Seconds

I watch the second hand on the clock.
Every tick and every tock is my life lessoning.
Amazed at how you can truly watch yourself die.
by every tick and every tock.
tick,tock,tick,tock,tick,tock.

You and I

When I walk, I can feel Your hand in mine because it's just, Your and I.

When I fall, I can feel You carrying me because it's just You and I.

When I think of my future, Your all I see because it's just You and I.

When I realize just how close You are, time fades ever quickly because it's just You and I.

When I feel my love lessoning Your passion goes on because it's just You and I.

When at night I think about You, I don't need to dream because it's just You and I.

When I can't see what's up ahead, You take my hand because it's just You and I.

When this world has no sound, I can dance to Your music silent to all but You and I.
