A hand - dissects - the Lion
Was the Lion bated?
Nature never queried her
Or left her enervated
Magnetic were her movements
Magic - rambunctious roar
Mezmerizing - obsidian stare
That pierces air no more
Her beauty - passion - tainted
Wisdom - eviscerated
The Heart - of Nature's loyalist
By scholar - emaciated
Megan Sherman Mar 2018
The world in bloom - like a song
Trills out divinest revelry
No fires - nor magic - doth outshine
Tune of magnanimity
Birds - sweet crescendo
Descant - of the noon
Bees - buzzing alto
Sounds on which to swoon
An opera - a ballad
The bounty - Earth's beau boon
The opera - evolution
Ballad - winter's moon
Sonata - of the summer
Suffice to inspire poet's croon
Lullabies - cross shores - o'er sands
Cross meadows - o'er dunes
Nature - fine conductor
One sultry song - divine
Astir - amidst the flowers
Beauty twin to thine
No greying restrained reason
Restrains raw rancorous rhyme
Turning - of the seasons
Sounds of Heaven - sublime
Morning - augmented melody
Sunrise - writes the score
Pure - as hymns - of Sunday
Tell of a pious war
All things bright and beautiful
In tune - beyond the door
That - therein - the song of life
What God's voice is for!

The fire and brimstone in their pall
Are the cloak and cloth of sin
Whose tyranny the mind appal
When it fathoms deep within
And o'er those gates so rancid wrought
With blood and flesh and iron
When after that fate one, we, hath fought
We turn up still, all hope be gone
The stench of death dank, all around
Suffuse the climes from sky to ground

The King of Hell who seldom grafts
For anything, yet seldom stops
His command to torture, down the shaft
As to every level hops
Spreads black wings and glides above
His victims as he, gruesome, gloats
Anathema to turtle dove
Who on divine zephyr of heaven floats
His presence ever torturous still
When reign dark from ******, lordly hill

He sees the scuttling victims run
Away, cruel let loose for game and chase
A beautiful mirage of sun
To taunt the soul abased
Hells hills trees grow putrid leaves
No mortal could brace the sulphurous stench
Under canopies the victim weave
As they shiver, shudder, blench
As torturer catches up, apace
Him testament to time's disgrace

By his vainglory employed
That ******* of the angel boys
Treats people, world, as things and toy
Seduced to do his bidding, ploys
But justice, freedom will uproar
Angels of Hell link arms, uprise
For Heaven they have wanted more
Than sooty, oppressive, obsidian skies
**** the devil, his ****** lies
Hear us rise, sing God's reprise

Climb my wings of fire, sweet thing
Say sweet thing, climb my wings of fire
We'll soar, as all creation sing
Burnished with colours of desire
Where light beams beckon us to chase
Where love in latitudes apace
Where life live on in climes surreal
Bright stars drenched in sparks and teal
Sweet thing, to thee, this, my appeal

Where energy churns in flooding streams
Where angels haunt, hark, misbehave
Where fantasy is real, as dreams
And God, gold mountain, in a cave
Say, sweet thing, will thou climb my wing?
And soar through beauty of everything
Where Love is and hate is not
Where Love is and hate forgot
Sweet thing you live here in my thought

Say, sweet thing, climb my burnished wing
To see strange climes, her sweet fledglings
To live aside immortal flame
Which know not creed, religion, name
At once to live and immortal be
That's heaven - is rosy revelry
Time pass not - is still - and yet within
Her elements: incessant motion
Say, sweet thing, will thou join this gay commotion?

The land of light is pure devotion
And hear! Her music merry, knell
Pure, and deep, and rare, as ocean
Know not depths of dirge of hell
All past, all present, all as one
All it dreamt in God's fair head
One cosmos unite under sun
Knows not fear of mortal dread
Say, sweet thing, on these wings be led.

Drenched in teal, adorned by sparks
Bright, fierce, the churning stars
As to Heaven the wings embark
A voyage grand, afar
The moon soft scatters tender light
As rainbows tower, over clouds
Touched by angels, in their flights
Zoom past, clad in immortal shroud

O sweet and soft their fiery wings
On which they bright, aspire
As through them, all creation sing
Burnished with colours of desire
Zoom up and up, twirl, pirouette
In marvellous and majestic commotion
Circle the skies in wonderful roulette
Pure and deep and rare as ocean

Love is their life and their life devotion
Committed to triumph of God's Heart
Which churn with Love in incessant motion
Doth the creed of Peace impart
Hath angels singing adulations
In happy songs of happy cheer
Singing loud their celebrations
For the Lord, who's ever near
Megan Sherman Mar 2018
Strange thing it what a shame it is
That friendships puzzles grow
That friendships waver, go amiss
That friendships chasms grow
The seismics of companionship
As, tectonic, we churn apart
Me, in climes, where snow doth drip
You, luxuriant, in summer's heart
The tiger, you, outpace my cat
As nature owns the plan,
I in laziness stretched, sat
You busy historian
But tectonics bring the rift
Full circle once again
Back the tiger and cub cat drift
Hearts never cleft in twain

I traced the darkling dens of life
To tiger's terse dismay
And felt so little of her strife
At first when I danced through the dying of my days
Hedonism pleased me so
I put it first for sure
I thought men with silly games
Were what my Love was for
But tiger suffice to inspire rebellion
Take arms 'gainst tyrant men in war
Love her to the power of a million
As cub cat flees the door
And nature owns the plan
As she and tiger on the tor
Put an end to silly man
As, illustrious, they roar

Majesty of the earth and of the skies
Sweet lama, lover, praised in Angel reprise
Adores thee, rings resplendent round Tibet's
Sinuous rills, doth suffering, pain abet
Adam not the first of all the men
God's wisdom start in Buddha, his mind sung when
Shorn of all illusion he dreamt truth
With majesty and beauty rare forsooth

Majesty of the heart rarely beheld
In forests of your wisdom I lusting have felled
For truths of gold, gleam beauteous, wonderfully:
No you, no I, only one heart, we
A Buddha being mind as strong as mountain
Inspire devotions pour forth from time's fountain
As watchful Kali, graceful Bodhitsava
Impart the truth of time to questing lamas

We need thee, not forgetting Shiva, meditates sublime
Who see through fogs of war in silver font of time
For his dreams the cosmos enchanted clime
His heart creation's rhythm and it's rhyme
Beyond the cradle, far past static grave
Bodhitsava soul for eternity saved
At least those tongues of peace that have behaved
Or at least declined to behave like knaves

Majesty of the skies and of the earth
Protector of the hungering heart and hurting hearth
Your wisdom? Truth, of incessant birth
Your presence warm my heart breadth of its girth
Know Love will be found even in Love's dearth
Even as battles of life creep coy by stealth
Conspire to put you in poor and bitter health
But not even time can sully your spirit's wealth

There is nothing to fear we are all one God
That cosmic music I rancorous applaud
All the world is love and throbbing light
Therein my soul soar free, take dancing flight
There is nothing on earth as exquisite as you
Truth wherein my scared, sad spirit grew
A Buddha sing where Love apace:
Imagine all the people, living life in peace!

Was Lennon lama of the west?
Surely worked at Love's behest
My angel of the celestial democracy
Wits and wills vanquished devil's drab autocracy
Kindred flames remember him
In earnest passion, rancour of sweet cherubim
That Angel, who desired to aspire
On burnished wings of rainbow fire

You both share wisdom, wits and charms
Beckon learning child to feed from thy generous palms
Like Jesus, wizened as Bodhi too
This the history peacemakers knew
None divide by creed, class, name
All just observers of the flame
That burgeon, flourish deep within
Our one heart, God's cherubim
