Premium Member Culmination Revisited

Concentric constellations of cosmic
consciousness catapult cuneiform
cubi-calm charismatics, creating
crystalline coloured corridors
casually camouflaged, commanding
cyclic, cryptic compassion calling cards.
Center court connectives calculate
comparable crying conniptions calling
circus cellular cumulative consolidations.

Culmination

Lain, her body reposed     
at the foot of redemption     
candlelight still flickers     
and her moist skin throbs     
    
Beads of life drip slowly     
percolating from within     
and as with the dew, rests     
along with reddened bosoms     
    
Breaths, sipped from parting lips     
cling to the tepid air     
rage still, as hearts clamor     
over tense teased moments     
    
Eyes left unattended,  roll back     
her pulses lit, re-cycle     
again and again and again     
in an intimate untamed
culmination


Premium Member Culmination Reached

One day to have in your heart
Trying to keep all things possible
Playing the tunes in your mind
You reach the top of the mountain
And shout the greatest words
Which of wisdom come from within
Where you have successfully reached
Higher grounds than ever before
And now can soar higher than a bird
Beyond the symmetry of alignment
You have reached the pinnacle of life
The farthest bounds of your mind
And culminated the rings of knowledge
Into wise moments of realizations
That life isn't just books and words
Its full of twists and turns that speak
Towards your heart, keeping it sane
Is the right way the moon expresses
The truth of reality, and you've reached
That realm, by your highest potentials

Day wanes as 
evening shadow blend;
fireflys dance.
A blessed evening to
sit and rest.
Jaded memories--
faded and reborn in the telling.
Fireflys dance and I am content to sigh;
to sit and wait for the ice cream
still yet to come.
I close my eyes for a quck nap,
and I am no more.

Culmination

Never so sweet - as the rosebud's feat
to capture the bloom of the rose
ensconced within - it's petals thin
to break forth with color intense
lips pursing up - shining with dew
carousing the sun for it's heat
sensuous wiggles - the flower entails
seducing it's nutrient's meat
radiant rays - soft petals caressed
it's fertilization bestows
the velvety blood red kiss - of -
the passion embraced by the rose


Culmination

Kneeling reality comes full circle
The moon has grown lazy
and life invades my spine

Spontaneous
                    conscious burst
    sheds
             light
on a new
              side
                     of the world.

Blazing clarity 
                     reunites
                                 my-
                      self
                  to it all,
                              myself.

Dazed
          into a new being
I've
      reached the peak
of a new hill
                  on
my existential
                     landface
Celebrate everything
                               positive
                    negative and
neutral

Culmination

I waited, long, for your sweet song
you seem to be where I belong
or is it an illusion

come from my dreams into loving arms
fall, seductive, to my charms
love's molecular cohesion

don't let it be our time has passed
a fantasy that burned too fast
a hazy apparition

I wait to follow, fill the hollow
of your heart and love
a thrilling culmination

Culmination

I ask you 
To say goodbye for me
My only request 
Remains to rest alive to see
My stranger
Say goodbye for me 

It is for these common days 
I thank you 
The grace 
That warms the will 
In our senseless duels 
For we peasant fools 
Are granted only certain jewels 
A limited few shall be praised
On sourdough and empty mugs 
We common folk shall be raised 
Merchants shall keep calling my name
For I will keep walking 
In this fallen reign 
I’ve dreamt of living upon a time
To no longer exist 
A such time worshipped 
Lives only in gist  
Love me, leave me not 
For my desires 
I believe I may rot
