Premium Member Benign bliss burn

Equilibrium, harmony, and completeness
The Paramatman becomes one with the Atman.
It's like the ambrosic nectar and its sweetness.
Like the pristine jasmineness of the jasmine

Core dualism paves the way to non-dualism.
The illusion that blocks the way is torn away.
Divine rays outspread as though from a purine prism
Physique and psyche illumine like a heyday.

From the crown of the head to the sole of the feet
Divine vigour, like oxygenated blood, flows.
Flesh, bones, and veins feel a perpetual heartbeat.
Grace of the almighty, in every atom, glows.

Each moment is a mystery, like each day's dawn.
Between limitlessness and me, no line is drawn.

Premium Member Zaffre Azure Chimera

on hyaloid shade phylum
of zaffre azure
swish
soulful scrutinize
apodictic vinculum
magniloquent 

wandering of wispy whooshes
wrapping wisps of weird warbles
shrivel olive trees
overflow no omen
drenched in sweat
summoned by chimera
once called passion
title assertion? 

baud pace of rimless dreams
blurred bark
bare branches
fruitless leaves
unfetter'd
sky loose

mythic gem idol
purine as Myrsine
space rock fit
moon zappily
uncanny 

azure drilled of ritzy rag doll
mesh shimmer blaze shackle  
include
dare
desire  

gaudy Sirius in darkened spell
mottled splendor
to cognize my path
as xanthic whispers
afresh

When Dad Is a Biology Major

When Dad is a Biology Major

By Elton Camp

I liked to give an answer complete
With specific details to be replete

Child’s, “What are girls made of?”
Brought information too far above

C, H, N, O and not too many more
The explanation proved to be a bore

Nitrogenous bases purine & pyrimidine
Are found in the DNA molecule I mean

Adenine, guanine, thymine, cytosine
With P and deoxyribose sugar are seen

In this wonderful helix they all lie
“Daughter, you can see it if you try.”

My answer was far too complex
About replication, gametes and sex

Since all she was really asking to hear
Was repeat of a nursery rhyme, I fear
