Lessening of the love of Eternal God 
On our heart
Making us less worthy of His help
Weakening of the power to resist mortal sin...

The effects of venial sin are 
Lessening of the love of God on our heart
The making us less worthy of His help
And weakening of the power to resist mortal sin...

Please
let me 
be precise~
I am the chief!
Your every wish
now lies within my grasp.
There will be no gradual
lessening of your temptation.
But feel free to keep this thought in mind~
I would never abandon you cheaply!...

Whatever each of us thinks, says or does 

Must aim at the lessening of human pain

Otherwise null and void his efforts shall be

That would make him feel so empty and vain!

Waking the world of untold possibilities 
Where my eyes awoke stilled in terror 
We the people lessening in our casualties 
Wishing the world could go on in this manor 
Whereas the citizens are mistaken,our stories untold 
Weeping green our hearts forlorn....

Honk if you love sex, the sound would be deafening
Not much chance the honking would start lessening
By the grins on your kissers
And the stroking of your whiskers
It's brightens your day and was really refreshing

Suffocation, is that the word
For this lessening strength within?
This discomfort needing fresh air
Gently stirring, encouraging
How can I pack treasures to move?
"Stuff" to go, and then, begin.

On praying knees
looking to the sky
emptying my heart
with heartfelt words
 Pouring my soul 
to the earth
by revealing my past
removing the burdens upon it
 Easing the memories of old
lessening the pain
allowing memories to become shadows
and slowly fade...

Crawling to each nanosecond
A descent calling to teach me
Another Plato lesson
Lessening the agony as for
Before what was aforementioned 
Fragments of talents calcified
And classified as otherworldly 
Unbelievable and that which walks
With Giants along the wastelands
Unwelcomed.........

There will never 
Be sufficient down pour
In washing away your crucial absence
Even word smith falls short in lessening the pain
Primal lesson in contact with you, one is squandered
In treasured troves, expense of your beaded words
Will pay to shine ones soul's mane
Without you life neither was nor
Ever will be the same...

I pressed a barb
under my tongue
to remind me

I pierced glass
into my heart 
to awaken a story

as blood dripped
a memory formed
in the pain and suffering
an effigy wavered

then I knew
some stories 
should never be told
and forever remain

locked under my tongue 
speared into my heart
and silent in eternity...

The days are getting shorter;
By half-past eight it’s dark,
With fewer hours to frolic
At the beach or in the park.

The summer’s slipping swiftly,
Getting ready for the fall,
Though the temps and the humidity
Have hardly changed at all.

I won’t mind the colder weather;
It will fill me with delight,
But I’m really not in favor
Of the lessening of light....

they always cry about the war this
or that maybe true this time
the war they have been foreseeing all this
time the predicted the biggest 
cruellest one
the end
rays pierced my eyes through the hole
rain not lessening their poise
should buy a curtain
the green with the 
roses red
with the next wage war is on
i am back to disturbed
sleep dinosaurs 
wailing...

warm embrace of love does not calculate 
for it frolics about carefree in bubbling mirth
ever joyous, blissful, vibrant bliss effervescence 
exuding uninhibitedly its sublime elixirous radiance
effortlessly and seamlessly dipping in and out of life
pouring itself into the existence without lessening itself
pulsating thus in renewal within the space-time continuum...

The Pursuit of Happiness

Though it should appear my conscience is clear
Still someone will sneer and possibly jeer
I seek not to care with deference to peers
for those who would fare despite all their fears
Create a nice sphere begin a new year
A lessening of tears a world full of cheers

Here comes Autumn's pallid pall-
It stealthily creeps; it silently crawls
Bringing the air of the Season's despair
(For Misery is Comfort, after all)

The changing of leaves, my Psyche aggrieved!
The Fall in all of its Depression
Alas! The lessening light, the worsening my plight-
My face- a somber expression...

* I suffer from "Seasonal Affective Disorder", hence the reason I wrote this...

The farther along life's road I go
I'm losing ground, moving slow
I huff and puff, grunting as though
I'm putting on a one-woman show

Still, it's comforting to know
Our Heavenly Father will bestow
blessings abundant here below
and grant us time to grow

But since the date of my birth
The largest expansion is my girth
Thereby lessening my worth
To other creatures here on earth...

In our neighborhood
We had a tree
Full of fruits
I wished one to set my mind free;

I was looking at one to pick
Fresh and ripe
But taken
By a falcon demon type;

Since then I am found
To scratch
To bite
And to count the sailing cloud;

In suffering, in pain
They fall
By dripping
But the fruits take them as rain.

To ameliorate the pang
I drift
And weep
Yet I see no sign of lessening grief....

Sometimes i wish 
That i could crawl out of my skin
Bare all my sins
Flay myself open
And watch as i bleed
Maybe then i might feel
Some sense of release
A lessening of the weight
That suffocates me as i try to breathe
Maybe if i could breathe and i could see
I might not feel so dirty
But if i bare all my sins
And let everything out in the air
People would really see
The pathetic being i am underneath

....and the door opens,
a yawning chasm.
I then ask myself
to cross the threshold.

A yawning chasm,
of fears and anger.
To cross the threshold,
is to accept them.

Of fears and anger,
I have always ran.
Is to accept them,
a lessening of myself?

I have always ran.
Standing at a distance,
a lessening of myself.
What if I reach out?

Standing in the distance,
I then ask myself,
"What if I reach out
and the door opens?"...

Heart broken and Spirit shaken we begin the long journey toward the 
Awakening path to a lessening hurt embracing your forever lasting, 
impassioned heart. The continuity of your aura renews in matter, sighs and slowly stirs. In that inevitable gathering of ancient futures through
timeless space, a cosmic gallery of connective sentient souls shall
effortlessly unfold creating a panoramic patchwork of beginningless energy
and loving light.

Lalala is love    
Musical, melodious ~
Language from lips
Flowing from faith
Lalala is love
Lifting, leaping, landing
Lofty, languishing, longing
Lalala is love
Luring, loaded, lamenting
Light, luscious, leering
Lalala is love        
Lingering, lovely, lending
Loosening, lapping, lessening
Lalala is love
Lovers, lessons, lasting
Laughing, looping, loving
Lifting, leaping, landing
Limitless
Musical, melodious ~
Language from lips
Flowing from faith
Lalala is love...
