My heart hearkens at warm gestures of humanity
That penetrate beneath cynicism
Inspired by Love's magnamanity
I surmount soul's cataclysm
The generosity of one soul giving to another
Without expectation of returns
Is the spirit of a kindred brother
In whom the divine flame burns
Together we transmit blisses and gifts
Known only unto heart
Its truth like balloon lifts
On adventure soul embarked
    At warm humanity my heart hearkens
    To its truth I, intruiged, listen

The Most Unusual Jewel
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
I saw the most unusual jewel
Of ruby and aquamarine
Its majestic hues had me in thrall
O Beauty unlike I've ever seen
Wrenched from the crown of Gaia
It inspired me to rejoice and sing
Of it's beauty, along to ancient lyres
Most cherishable of things
If I could stow away with it in my heart
I'd be the happiest poet on Earth
Enamoured of its beauty stark
It warmths the breadth of my heart's girth
    O tell me is there a joy as you
    O moving, magic ruby blue

Drifting On A Wayward Beam
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
Drifting on a wayward beam
Borne aloft on Heaven's zephyrs
A vision vivid and supreme
Whose truth could be sung along to lyres
A sage I saw, transcending time
With a magnificent and majestic voice
Whose Heart was blossoming in its prime
Begetting words to make children rejoice
In to my spirit he struck his truth
And awoke my own vocation
So now I go cantering on enchanted hoof
Towards exalted destination

The Flame Of Divinity
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
We are born with the flame of divinity
Embedded in the depths of our Soul
Its truth is unassailable and indelible
In it consists the awe of one and all
But the world is the grand consumer ruse
Which alloys us to false ideas
In which the deception gestates
And seductively appears
Luring us away from our true Heart's bliss
Towards a wayward, wicked path
We're nevertheless touched by apparition's kiss
Which heals us in the aftermath
    Back to life, the flame is fanned
    By caring, thoughtful, loving hand
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
Towards luscious light of love I go
Atop the truest steed
The journey has me rapt in throe
My spellbound spirit bleeds
All that we know of Truth is Love
Devotion to our heart's true bliss
On that feeling our passion roves
Enveloped in Love's kiss
The forest of my desire is ablaze
For being touched by desire
Heaven's fearsome, furious rays
Most divinest of God's fires
    Towards luscious light on truest steed
    I go compelled by my Heart's greed
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
In the fullness of time the Truth runs clear
To those who yield to its ebb and flow
The riddle is resolved and the answer appears
Through percipient perception it goes
Beneath distraction and illusion
Lies the fearsome, awesome Reality
Through which the Truth's effusion
Goes with conviviality
We live to strive to know it's flame
For it casts light on our Heart's path
Disabuses the ruse and game
And heals in its aftermath
     O Truth, you showed me in bad health
     And brought back to life my truest self

I Live In Imagination
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
I live in imagination
And sometimes the spectre wins
Turning me against truest friends
The most shameful of my sins
But only in deepest dreams is it possible
To see what life can truly be
Which is why the dreamworld takes it holds
Enchants and captures me
If only I could see, discern
What's fake and what's a prism on the real
I guess in time I will learn
And the light of truth I'll feel
     Imagination is gift and curse
     But Imagination is the spirit's purse
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
It's swell to dwell in Heaven
To live in the land of make believe
Don't be so hasty to dismiss
All that you can't perceive
For in the interstices of the world
Lay possibilities untold
Manifesting in divinest dreams
And rivers and fires of gold
The kingdom and paradise of heart's true bliss
Is that to which the spirit strives
It's swell to dwell in heaven's kiss
That keeps the flame alive
     O the mind of God to me a paradise is
    Is there another joy as this
Feb 2017 · 179
The Time Is Now To Listen
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
The time is now to listen
To the word of ancient gods
Midst broken, battered souls goes the light
Between them it patiently plods
Imploring them with light of truth
Which dwells in interstices
The realisation will quell and soothe
The scars of spirit's vices
Hand in hand goes God and Love
Touching with its fire
That strikes like bolt from above
Infusing with desire
    Striving towards the truth we go
    Dreaming, rocking to and fro
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
I'll give you hell for thinking
You'd make an example out of me
I guess you thought my brain was nought
And I'd be baffled in mystery
I guess you were never counting
On my percipient perception
I rely on intuition
To guide me in Truth's direction
The cosmic joke is that you think
All of us but you are bad
When it's you who dwells in the bars of the mind
That are vain, pathetic, sad
I threw my heart at you in joy
You threw it away in disgust
Of the nature of your esteem for me
I generally got the ******
It's sad to know, as I go
That this was a mirage
Back I go, to and fro
Around the spirit's cage
It doesn't pay me well to dwell
But I'll probably rue
The loss of the illusion
That our kinship was pure and true

I Just Feel Very Strongly
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
I just feel very strongly
Overwhelmed by emotions
I think you judged me wrongly
Enamoured of prejudicial notions
I am just unstable
I don't know how to cope
That's why I angrily babble
And make plans to leave, elope
Don't tell me I am things I'm not
You don't know me very well
For all I care our bond can be left to rot
Because you've not known me long enough to tell
You jumped to brazen conclusions
Presumptuous and rude
I guess you've never known devotion
So of course you wouldn't perceive that my spirit had brewed
You just want to indulge your ego
So its rich of you to call me vain
You think you're above it when you punch down low
And enjoy begetting pain
So make with haste to leave my sight
It's enamouring no more
Out you go, and now I know
To lock and bolt the door
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
Shocked was I, when I found out
That you intended harm
I guess only bitterness and deceit
Lay under wiles of your warmth and charm
Mocked was I, when behind my back
You gossiped and maligned
And there went I with hazy dreams
Imagining our paths intertwined
Shocked was I, to get the hunch
That you were playing games
Out of me you made your lunch
Is there anything by which you feel ashamed?
Mocked was I, when I realized
The wasted time in which I'd fought
To entertain and get to know you
And enjoy mutual rapport
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
'Tis horrible to wield a word
To slight and slander me
'Tis better to deploy them
For fable, myth and story

There are maddest multitudes in words
Contain divinest sense
It's possible to convey magic
In every single tense

But bastardize words cynically
If you really must
But know in slight you've broken
The cherishable crystal of my trust

A bard is hard to pigeonhole
So, really, mate, try it all you like
I'll be waxing lyrical
While you're still playing psych
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
Yes, I Love for you, but I'm not your fool
You will not have me under acquisitive thumb
Yes, I Love for you, but my feelings are cool
To the melody of my own spirit I'll hum
Yes, I Love for you, but don't be deceived
Chasing an ego is boring
Beneath my false self you didn't perceive
So you stupidly started ignoring
Go on then, pursue the direction of your Heart's bliss
It's righteous, truest course
But if it directs you to other kiss
Don't expect me to feel remorse
Yes, I Love for you, but I'm not your fool
I'm not the puppet on Man's stage
My dying Self you didn't respect at all
Then in spite of your arrogance I rose again as sage
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
The leaves begun to blanket ground
As Summer yields to Fall
Earth burnished orange all around
A searing sight to feast the soul
Betwixt the trees with low fruits ripe
Phantom looms, divine apparition
Its spirit blooms, snares with a pipe
O blooming flower of my vision
To and fro the spirit glides
Haunting, enchanting night
Two lights collide, and come inside
Orbiting in delight
     My revenge on arrogant fool, magic song
     That stands above the fool's average throng
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
The Word upon its wayward route
Goes magic to earnest ears
That strive to hear the ancient lute
Which could move stone hearts to tears
Between the trees it, gentle, blows
Perceptible to some
The Truth will have them rapt in throe
Its music they will happy hum
From rejoicing mouth to rejoicing mouth
On wayward route Word goes
Centrifugally, heading South
Till every spirit knows
       I think I rose, Love, I think I rose
       To know divine sense within me grows

And He So Nonchalantly Calm
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
And he so nonchalantly calm
Conspires to convey
Direction of his true heart's bliss
Epiphanies at play

With words, with wits, he conjures worlds
Waving wanton wand
Infuses eyes with magic
World not seen as planned

He dedicates his carolling
To the spirits, the divine
He prays to mercy, love and peace
In every luscious line

O Beauty, devotee of bliss
Tell me how you see like this
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
Thy heart shines with the light of a thousand beacons
As violent, vivid as a forest fire
In to its light my stray spirit is beckoned
Its radiant truth I crave and desire
Thou art the sum of thy passions
O guiding light to which we are wife
Compelling us to exquisite action
To succumb to the lust and love of life
Beacons light spreads by mimesis
Each pyre imitates the other's light
The fires are never still, in stasis
But ripple with cosmic delight
     O Heart, thy beacon strikes on truth
     The deepest fibre of my self is moved

To A Wry Spark
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
People are fascinated by extremely beautiful things
Like me, I love the sweetest of the Sparrows who sing
In dulcet tones round Earth she resonates and rings
My hearts bliss she effortlessly brings
The sweetest of Sparrows on truest route
Goes sweeping, soaring at one in the Noon
Borne aloft on warm, gentle zephyr
Her exquisite beating heart abloom
Imbued with deep and luscious ember
That burned until her life's December
Her cosmic joy her tune remembers
Warbled out in divine timbre
Sparrow, Sparrow in the air
Wings like arrows, feathers rare
Tuneful auras, shroud her song
A rhapsody, around, along
No gray reason restrains rhyme
As it spills throughout time
Sparrow, sparrow in the air
What wry spark is hiding there?
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
Absent friends this is not the time to fight
To be preoccupied with saving face
If Heart pursued its righteous, truest course
It'd lend care to one who fell from Grace
By digging in heels with feuds and grudges
We only gratify our deplorable, darkest side
Bad blood is unbecoming to you too you know
But that I alone was problem you implied
But there for the Grace of God go I
Is the apposite idiom for you
Think how bad it would have been
If you'd been taken ill on passion's pews
But imploring you is like begging an abyss
For your minds are shut to sun
But fear not, I've arisen again
And with untold zest away I'll run
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
Leaping at horizon the bonny Leopard
Is a rebel from the Heart outwards
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
Thou art is sweet and full of light
That casts spectacular ray upon the Truth
Consists in it immortal delight
Articulated on thy luscious mouth
By pained triangulations of ideas
You proclaim in immaculate cascade
The perfect insight to me appears
Captive to passion's serenade
Thou art is the joyful revolution
In every aching, anguished heart
To bask and wallow there is the solution
So long live thy enchanting art
      Beyond category or compare
      In thy art gold sparks appear
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
Love is a realm is of experience that must not be repressed
By the dictums and strictures of Reason
On Love's planes the luscious light of passion manifests
The flower of mutual care in perennial season
O'er the planes on cantering hoove
Go the loyalists of Heart
By emotion stirred and feelings moved
Perceiving compassion's exquisite art
Towards setting Suns they rove and rage
A torrent of torrid blisses
Love knows what is best, she is sage
Her percipient insight never misses
     On what distant shores or sands
     Does Love work magic of her hands

The Moon Is A Magician
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
The Moon is a Magician
Casting spells upon the sky
Adorned by sparks and halos
That enchant the creatures flitting by
Painting hearts with magick
Bearing them aloft, supreme
Defying Reality's rubric
With pallet got from dream

Be The Blossom To My Spring
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
Rapt in your eyes, the fever of the moment burns
Stoking ripples of magic in the deeps of my heart
Intoxicated on the liquor of the moment, it churns
The majestic truth of Love it diligently imparts

In fires of red, your spirit's beacon beckons me
Cascading bright with mad sparks of bliss
In its flame I am warmed, made wild and free
Touched and blessed for its passionate kiss

With ardour, be the blossom to my Spring
And beautify my soul's barren plains
We'll warm it with Love's carolling
That mutual refrain
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
I vanquished Love with but a word
I vanquished it with haste
Because the absence of my affectee
Leaves foul and bitter taste

And he, with my Heart, steals away
And to horizons runs
Bereft of Glory I lower head
And drift in to setting Suns
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
Keen, I hunger to enchant the mind of a Poet
To entreat their thoughts with sweet epiphanies
Kindling dialogue, our mind's sensuous duet
We exchange locquacious litanies
Sharing the fruits of my Love's labour
I craft libations for the mouth of my muse
Moored on the deeps of the divine harbour
Our spirits meet, collide and fuse
Talking in torrents I ******* thoughts
Before they spill forth unto open ears
In friendship, Poets enjoy mutual rapport
That flowers, flourishes through the years
     I entreat Beauty with a snare
     Enchanting with delightful blare
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
As passion yields to memory, Heart's magic dies
Sullied by relentless attrition of time
As passion yields, out fierce feelings fly
Mind bereft of the profound, sublime
Enchanted no more the spirit rues
The famished soul quails in anxiety
Losing the lustre of Love's iridescent hues
It succumbs to wanton apoplexy
Betwixt the Loves the poet searches
Refining her enchanting snare
Holding high truth's torches
For power dwells in there
       I think I died, Love, I think I died
       When out of sight you, disdainful, glide
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
Much Magic - strikes a Night time
In sky the cosmic fires brood
Mystic sounds reverb and chime
In stunning interlude
As thunder falls from Heaven
Its sparks adorn our ears
In sky gestate the colours heathen
That quell and smooth our stress and fears
Besides the sea - I wander
And peep in to the night
And set my mind asunder
To dwell in eternal delight
Feb 2017 · 239
O Vinayak
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
O Vinayak, in aura drenched
Thou art brighter than God's mind
From divinest planes thy image wrenched
In it my soul's reprieve I find
Dancing sultry up to my side
You enchant, enrapture, snare
Beckoning me to the infinity in which you hide
Much magic dwells in there
O Vinayak, thou winked charmingly
And then you disappeared
I honour you devotionally
Elephantine goddess to whom I am endeared
     Under cosmos blossoming
     For Vinayak I play and sing
Feb 2017 · 249
Arise Ye Makers Of Melody
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
Arise ye makers of melody
We are the worlds' reprieve
Musical word in which hope stirs
Invites the spirit to achieve
It's redemption and salvation
From prisons round the soul
That flourish in the reign of evil
But with exquisite blare melody makers will heal
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
Effulgent with the light of love, I praise thy sight
Enrapt by deep divinity of thine features
Basked resplendent in the languid light
Of thine enchanting aura, O mesmerising creature
Betwixt our statures, Gravity pulls
Compelling us to meet faces, kiss
The liquor of the moment churns
Dwelling in trajectory of bliss
Blissful canopy of the stars, clad in glow
The wild, unchartered frontiers
Caressed by scintillating sparks, light we go
Drifting on glowing, gentle zephyrs
Now thou hast shown me thy hearts direction
I'm enveloped in your care's protection

Return Of The Bard
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
Arise! Arise! From fresh dug grave
Upon the ancient, lulling hills
Awash with heat of Summer's blaze
O'er the sweet and sinuous rills
Goes the Bard on wanderlust feet
Traversing valleys, fathoming stars
Treading Earth's sweet soils replete
Begetting tender, sonorous bars
To Bard's swell music: I've aspired
And to their beauty: Who conspired?

Arise! Arise! To triumphant skies
Awash with bright and molten colour
Through which Starling sweeps and cries
Going gaily through lovelorn hours
The Bard midst wizened trees goes light
Striving to hear the ancient word
Enveloping forest in pure soul's flight
In which luscious light of truth stirs
Besides the flourishing, florid flowers
Goes the Bard in pursuit of powers
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
Now thou hast give me the knowledge of my path
Stoke my fledgling soul to embark
On whimsy's quest, in aftermath
Of Soul's debauchery, its grubby mark
Sullies the cave of my spirit's treasures
Whose resplendent joys therein I seek
A burgeoning bounty of no measure
A kingdom and paradise for spirits meek
Tell me the direction of my Heart's bliss
Keep thy flame close next to mine
So my vision be touched by its lights kiss
That help me walk, traverse fate's line
     O cosmic joke, you have revealed
     A fate to me which do appeal
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
Endeared with Heart like yours I loved
Enamoured of its spiritual wealth
But my vain, fickle obsessions
Left us in bad and woeful health
Holy, I committed to fantasy
Dedicated to the land of dreams
And all they promise us to yield
Though they betrayed me with fetid, fruitless stream
My love was devout, near religious
You were more than just a trophy
My feelings were prolific and prodigious
The blooming flower rosy
   But I go gentle, alone in to the night
   For all the mutual hate and spite
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
Methinks it's time I laid this to rest
And put my pain to passed
But still the anguish of my distress
Was elongated for being outcast
For in Love I have no dignity
And in Love I have no control
Just know the words that slighted you
Came from insecure and troubled soul
Confined to affliction of self-inflicted doom
I have no option but to beg in prayer
Weaving at my spirit's loom
To patch up, fix, repair
    Methinks it's time I laid this to rest
    And try once more to be my best
Feb 2017 · 175
Cupid
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
Come hither Cupid - little babe
And raise thy bonny bow
Penetrating swiftly
Let it through me go
Come slither Love - magic mood
And incept thy seed in me
Blossoming, beau, I am wooed
By warmth of Love's eternity
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
I was a Lover and nothing less
Although it's patent that's not your view
Because I mangled my words and made a mess
But they made my care no less true
Some lovers love so much they rage
Rancorous, full of fearsome fire
Yet we all know my monologue on passion's stage
Left a lot to be desired
Nonetheless, I was a Lover
Knelt at altar of my muse
Forbidden of another
Your heart I didn't want to lose
     I was a Lover, that much is true
     If you think that's wrong, well ****, just sue
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
My Love is apoplectic, raging still
For it burns passionate as Supernova
Exquisite emotion overflows and spills
Even after first enchantment is over
The love of you took me to physician
For prescriptions to soothe my malady
Upon my mind, the weight of contrition
I try to summon soothing lullaby
I think to Love may be a curse
To those who grow attached
Instead of reaching Heaven
The needy soul is wretched
    In poxy hell, I dwindle, scream
    Disabused of Love's bright dream
Feb 2017 · 204
The Daisy
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
On stem, a sight on which to swoon
Beauty, whose time is ever Noon
Buds in blossom vivid - fair
Imparting aroma to glimmering air
A petal for every hope and dream
Anchored in heart, proud, supreme
Presence commanded by the Sun
Through Daisy cosmic fires run
Nourishing her to her raw roots
As sunshine goes its gay commute
The Daisy with Love's light imbued
Converts sunshine in to useful food
Betwixt each flower go the bees
At most peculiar frequencies
Circling the flower's girth
Doing sacred work of Earth
Dutifully they pledge upon
Their life to keep life going on
The dance of Daisy needs no teaching
In awe of her I'm an evangelist preaching
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
There's Witchcraft - in the Evening
As chariot - of Moon
Races to throne - celestial stone
That makes the poets swoon
Casting strange phantasms
Cross the dark - dreamy sands
As if the sky's enchanted
By Magician's wanton wand
We renounce rusty Realism
To bathe - dwell in Sky
Obeisant to Soul's debauchery
In which our spirits fly
    O magic, deep explosive power
    Blossoming like exquisite flower
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
One morn a muse meandered in to mind
Carolling soft in sacred tongue
The spirited song of kindred hearts
Clan to which my own belongs
She stroked my mind with fearsome flame
When all the world had dropped dead
Stoking bright and cosmic spark
At the center of my head
The ebb and flow of epiphanies
Through percipient perception course
Strange, explosive truths yielded
From deep, divinest source
    Her mind is wider than the skies
    Which ring with her luscious lullabies
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
Not magick, nor the fires of Heaven
Can outshine the beauty of thy charm
Burnished bright in colours heathen
That stoke the shuddering spirit warm
When stars have died and run out of colour
And marble and monuments decay
Your truth will be embossed, for time fuller
Written lucid on the sky, clear as day
Next to you illusion pales
And is made diminished, menial
The urge for superfluous passion stales
Deepest desires become congenial
   O Beauty, with burning eyes arise
   From enchanting peripheries
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
The Nightingale her magic makes
And places it inside
The hollow chambers of the Heart
Where Passion goes to hide
That sounds could knell out sweet as this
My parched spirit sings
Electricity is the medium
For those whose music rings
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
The Sun begun to caress the sky
As Lovers do with palms
She threw her warmth so beautifully
It could inspire psalms
The Butterflies did ballet
Over yellow daffodil
Tainted by enchanting pallet
Which fills the eye with thrills
The birds go questing for treasure
With little luscious beak
Engorged on Nature's cache
Before Southern wind they seek
     O blessed spirits of the Spring
     Through medium of you Creation sings
Feb 2017 · 437
O Avon
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
O Avon, swell meandering home
You caress my feet with silken kisses
Round your banks I wistful roam
Enamoured of thy babbling blisses
Awed by beauty of the gloam
It envelops me in tender thrills
Inspired to transcribe it in to tome
In words suffice to inspire chills
Sweetest treasures consist in stream
O loot of the aquatic
That floats like dream upon a beam
The river an element of nature's batik
Imbued with blisses deep, supreme
I wade akimbo to the flow
The awe of Earth from you I glean
You have me rapt in throe
You are the path my heart pursues
It's righteous, truest course
Quelling fear and pain and blues
From thy splendid source
Whenever my sullied spirit rues
My strategy is this
I turn to you to soothe, amuse
To get my fill of bliss
Beyond horizon, thou spread to sea
In unchartered motion
A sea that sparkles iridescently
In strange colours of the ocean
I bask in your waters respendently
Loving their commotion
And honour them devotionally
O Avon, you leave me insatiated.
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
I'd love the stars to saunter near
And show us how they shine
Expanding and cascading bright
In shower of sparks divine
In flux of sultry Supernovas
Consists Nature's theatrics
Crackling fearsome, majestically
Like Chinese fireworks
If they'd come a little nearer
I'd behold them awed by splendour
Probably with a little tear
For their being so cosmically rendered
     O sweet and sensuous cosmic fires
     We honour you on lofty lyres
Feb 2017 · 236
Now I Love To Live
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
When my heart thumps in time
To the rhythm of your rhyme
My spirit sparks and starts to smile
Wanting to wallow for a while

You brought life unto the dead
Namely the passion in my head
Imbuing flame of luscious red
Now I love to live instead

Passion is a volcano lying dormant
Her eruption has been truant
But saunters in Love, incongruent
Of it I am most persuant
Feb 2017 · 215
Rendezvous With Romance
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
To have a rendezvous with romance is my fortune
The seas of my passion churn fiercer than Neptune
Surmounting the steep and steamy dunes
And foreseeing Love in ancient runes

Your mind to me a treasure and a kingdom is
Its resplendent joys therein I seek
A quest which has the reward of bliss
A sanctuary for my spirit meek

Hearts are the muscle of compassion
Which compel us to exquisite action
Love is a real chemical reaction
Not a superfluous bourgeois emotion
Feb 2017 · 229
All Is Love
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
I am a poet bethrothed to joy
All is love; its truth therein I seek
Fondling the flower sweet and coy
Of Passion, coloured by divine streaks

I love the seamless jewel of Earth
I love warm gestures of humanity
I love even in Love's dearth
I love all; especially those with insanity

These blisses are beyond category
My heart hearknens to their touch
If I could behold their treasure eternally
I'd cherish that very much
