The world ripens, bright
As a bride’s bouquet, abloom
With iridescence

Bees astir, the buzz
Emanates, its frequency
High enough to hear

Hills like naked swells
On Gaia’s body, birds
Brooding on the boughs

Like forlorn poets,
Cursing their misfortunes, the
Cruelty of love

Rainbows meander,
Like wanderlust bards try to
Fathom stratospheres

Berries adorn stems,
Offerings to the woodland,
Consumed with pleasure

Nature is present,
Purposeful, benevolent,
Her heart is awake
Megan Sherman Mar 2017
Heaven is the gestation of the human heart
It is more than the kingdom of kings
It is the place where souls dwell in grace
And all spirits, spellbound, get to sing
The gestation of the heart is gorgeous
Akimbo to the cosmic flow
The truth of Love magnanimous
Towards it our lives go
Megan Sherman Nov 2016
Strange apparitions
Moving kaleidoscopic
Giving me migraines

Keep me awake
The world imbued with weird hue
Augmented aura

The voice is raucous
Threateningly it tells me
What it has in store

I see death, decay
My people are perishing
At malice's hands

These wild conjectures
Billowing like forest fire
Ravage my rapt mind

I entertain them
Believing in them and thus
Imparting power

To dark delusions.
I didn't see that they'd lied
That they'd peddled frauds

That keep me locked in
To perpetual horrors
That torment the mind

I converse across
Continents. Had a whole chat
Across oceans

With a friend. It's mad.
It's as if a radio
Were lodged in my head

As time elapses
Their failure to fruition
Any truth makes me

Distrust the voices
Cynical I raise my doubts
They crow and laugh, but

My feet on the ground
I set to work destroying
Their reality

Trampling their world
By recreating my own
From the dull embers

Brash, cantankerous
The voices try forming thoughts
But I don't listen

A composition
I write my own monologue
Now, I am not theirs
Megan Sherman Aug 2017
Give me Revelation -
In this Life - not the next -
I'd rather glean it from the world -
Than a hermetic text -
Megan Sherman Sep 2017
Were passion, pride and purity raw gold,
I'd wade in it, have fathoms to behold,
Were Beauty, grace and wisdom count in drams,
You'd sure as day surpass a million grams,
But metrics interfere with cosmic flow,
Of Love through which the grace of God doth go,
You comprehend it dreaming, to and fro.

Where charity and amity outweigh,
Propensity to stoke, kindle dismay,
The world be good and surely good be true,
And gladly more good for the life of you,
Which, like a sultry sun, emit the light,
Which doth the cauldron of passion fast ignite.

Glories be to thee my wanton babe,
Not dark could sully you, nor aeons, age,
Not Psalms, nor paeans could justice do to you,
Not fires of heaven compare to spark that brew,
Not all the fauna like the flower grew,
Of Peace, in you, a guiding passion true.
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
O luscious goddess of the clouds
Your divine flame is cast in shrouds
You were born of the great cosmic churning
For you I am a spirit burning
A mythos, your majesty is told in lore
Nonetheless real enough to adore
I devote my heart's prayer to you
From me to you it goes diligent, true
From mortal to heavenly shores
Megan Sherman Apr 2017
God is dead,
Killed stone cold in our head,
Buried in our hearts,
From which, one time, repentance bled.
An ocean of faith,
Shrinks to a sliver,
No laurels placed, any more,
At divine altar.
God's ceased to breathe,
With fledglings to bereave,
But no devotees to leave,
For him no soul to grieve.
God is dead,
Killed stone cold in our head,
In just the way,
That Nietzche said.
Megan Sherman Oct 2017
Heaven's empire stands alone
Aloft! Doth not decay like stone
Imperishable truth of aeons stand
Dominates like dune of sand

Yield not to bludgeon of times hand
Transcends language, creed or land
I have become a babe anew
And I wake to watch the world in bloom
Megan Sherman Apr 2017
As I approach soft
The golden grove its petals
Rain like scattered rice

Birdsong riots wild
The menagerie's music
Enchanting the sky

Herein we are one
Indivisible from life
Nature's beating heart
Megan Sherman Oct 2017
Gold leaves, wisdom's currency
Meditation quickens their drift
Scattered fierce and flung far burnished
Bright in streams and dreams
We toss them in sacral fire
Their ashes incense carrying
Our hopes, yield to deeds
As we commit our element
Fire; peering in a soul embarks
On a quest to find its passion
An art adorned by lightning sparks
That make of peace an earth an oath
Hearts as kin in inviolate pact
To cry for love and so I it's love I cried
In fathoms like an ocean pure and wide
That from unchained heart liberal bleed
All hope for all souls to be freed
The innate tongue of the loving tribe
Whose intuitive passion I strive to scribe
Beneath the fulsome crescent moon
A pearl encroached by rubber treads
Yet still her wisdom
Like leaf gold,
Eternal, bold,
Truth can't be clocked and sold
But through time to sages yield
For the planes of magic they have tilled.
Megan Sherman Sep 2017
Good day, my friend, a Knight, of heaven, blessed,
Ambassador for hope in weary hearts,
With Beauty, grace and charm inspire best,
The flame of Love which doth worlds joy impart,
What strikes thee, strokes thy mind, which wanton thought?
What words held captive on thy knowing tongue?
Dare ask I, in mutual rapport,
Please tell me truth that's begging to be sung,
Which glories have thee since last meet to tell,
Have you lived, felt love, have you had fun?
Have you conjured heaven, fathomed hell?
Through the world with joy have you gay run?
Where have you flown? Touched rainbows? Swooped past moon?
Stood on heavens stairs, seen up to God?
Danced with angels bright from morn to noon,
Sight sublime on which poets swoon, applaud,
Art forever friend, I see thine joy,
As you run dreaming, seizing fast the day,
And must I add as to dream of your thoughts coy,
I entertain without doubt all the way,
That your mind has much to tell to me,
So relax, and open up your mind,
Could I know the meaning, from one as sage as thee?
Enamoured of love, activity refined.
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
Beauty, you are a symbol of Good, Grace and Gifts
You swell like a sea with unfathomable treasure
The music of you I hear poured from the rift
Of Heaven, a song of illimitable pleasure

In your essence I want to wallow
It'd be a wonderful world to behold
The logic of your truth I want to follow
For it's glistening in gold

I want to keep you in mind and beside me
Surrounded by one so wild and free
Labouring to create the future, manifesting destiny
Singing of love locquaciously
Megan Sherman Aug 2017
Good luck - and bliss - forever more
To you - I earnest wish
May Life endow you with infinite joy
May we vow devout to never make war
For being blessed by Love's indelible ray
Perhaps - you'd care - to adorn my arm
As we saunter away
Enamoured of thy Beauty - charm
Lay - sweet companion - lay
Megan Sherman Dec 2016
Relegating tyrants
Of Biblical acclaim
In to History's dustbin
Error's vast domain

Gravity is the final nail
In Religion's hearse
Illuminating forces
Of the passing Universe

Invisible, indelible
Pulling apples to the Earth
Unassailable, immutable
Rotating planets' girth

To be just attuned to accommodate life
What would be the chance
Gravity is the epitome
Of a cheerful happenstance
Megan Sherman Apr 2017
Thou hast not the facilities to make contact with this,
These melodies that maketh my appendages swell,
And throb with deepest passion's bliss,
No crime is my rhyme, or my feet that dance and dwell,
Those anodynes to my depressed mood,
An extra lofty homeboy from the oaktown,
My reputation as such precedes me, a lewd
Beat as this; thou has not the facilities to touch, nor its reknown.
Must I labour the point? This beat is beyond thy reach
Yes I must labour the point: Thy hands cannot fathom this,
Massive melody with wanton wickedness replete,
With their guidance thou cannot go amiss.
    With mighty longjohns and bonny lasses,
    I spit my lyrics for the masses.
Megan Sherman Dec 2016
Little bits of happiness
Are cherishable treasure
Every moment yields to me
A beauty without measure

As moments fade to memory
I traverse the wild frontiers
My misery diminishes
It shrinks and disappears
Megan Sherman Apr 2017
To pursue the Heart's true bliss, that is the purpose,
To which thou dost have immortal *******,
Amidst the temptations of vicarious vice,
And the seductions of superfluous passion,
Made pale by deepest desire. To brood, to gestate -
like God's seed - by this impulse compelled,
To exquisite action. The devotees and loyalists of heart,
That to Paradise are heirs. ‘Tis reverential communion,
Rendered meaningful by Heart. To love, to give -
To love - and soar divine: that’s the knack.
For in Love’s dearth no immortal sheen,
Doth shroud the hankering human heart,
Hungry for passion. Alack the void that doth haunt,
And taunt the lovelorn. For who could deny,
The cataclysm of a cleft soul, bereft of another.
Who would not yearn to yield and syncopate with other hearts;
The perfect care of Love. Her benevolent palms beget,
Praised treasures worthy of psalms, rare and pure,
For her giving knows no church or nation, or ration,
That deprive a child or person from her warmth,
Which gives life, love, light, laughter, a truth,
For where is there protest? Who would laurels deny,
Blaspheme against her awesome beauty, take aim,
At her sublime stature that dost withstand,
A cynic’s trial, clinically executed, with cold, callow hand,
The Heart of God’s loyalists by shrewd scholar emaciated,
And enervated; Nay, no children of Paradise,
Imbued with glory commit offence against sweet lady Love.
Thus cynicism makes a ******* of anyone who doubts,
And thus twin hearts commit to paths that cross,
A truth that soars like albatross, to those who spy,
The things that are lesser seen, like Love,
Love is dove, she is peace and fire, on golden wings,
She aspires. Like one of nature’s dutiful bees,
Doing sacred work of Earth, committed to Life,
Be all her treasures honoured.
Megan Sherman Nov 2016
All nature is perfect symmetry:
Each cell divides in perfect mimicry
And wings synchronise like swimmers in flight
Each planet sits in sleek suspense
In the spiral of the stars immense
Each colour on the solar spectrum reflects one light

The tides all wax and wane in time
In music muses spill their rhyme
To mortal ears' delight
And think if you will of your vision
Formed with inexplicable precision
Perfectly formed to let in shards of light

Now then I will not opine
That this is of some plan divine
Or proof of meddlesome maker's hand
Nature's Beauty makes Him irrelevant
It is a sign of her own intelligence;
Genius that wild could not be planned!
Megan Sherman Mar 2017
Her mind is like an intricate mandala
Adorned with patterns and colour
At one with the wilds, like the Impala
She goes roving, playing all the hours
She dwells on the Isle with a faithful soul
Unravelling the mysteries of life
It's truths have them rapt in thrall
To the lust and love of life they're wife
They dip their wings in passion's sky
Soaring like Icarus
Two tender creatures flitting by
Of them I want to make a fuss
    The pups of passion, they are so sweet
    With each other their life with Love replete
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
There is a devil who is on my case
In time he'll make me lose my mind
On fluent hooves he is apace
With Janus-face, he shows me he's kind
Going ever treacherous
He weaves magick 'gainst my flame
Yet on his truths I, hungry, dined
I think he plans to have my Heart framed
All I know of Love is loss
Yielding to defeat, I sigh
Love unattainable as the grace of albatross
Soaring elusive in the sky
He made me have a heart attack
The world goes cold, from gold to black
Megan Sherman Nov 2016
Our hearts are charged with
Love’s electricity, its
Rioting thunder.

That divine madness
Of her sensibility
Overwhelms us and

Makes heart exultant.
Fibres quake, electron fire
Cascading through me.

Heart wakes and goes wild
Like a wanderlust troubadour
Seeking the next song

Wildernesses, hearts
Are overgrown and rebel
Against cages, they

Demand perfect care.
A mesmerizing mantra
Consists in heart beat,

Syncopating care,
Notating all our loves, joys;
The muscle of prayer.
Megan Sherman Jan 2019
Hearts are pure, at their first beat
Resplendence in that thing
For Love, for Peace, for Heaven
Their Beauty eternal sing
Megan Sherman Jan 2016
Ventricles decay with passing time
Muscles weaken from chime to chime
But despite the heart's mortality
True kin are what they seem
And life is like a loving dream
Yet connected to reality

One, together, without a seam
Pure hearts are what they mean
Fluttering beside the light
Hearts waltz across this cosmic scene
Forever suspended on a beam
Love is eternal delight
Megan Sherman Apr 2017
Would those hands on distant shores,
Touch ever softly on the soul blue,
Was his the magic foretold in lore,
On wizened, ancient sands his strength grew.

And would the sentience sublime,
Gestate upon our harvest fields?
And would Heaven come to us,
For having disarmored our shields?

Haste me to my harp divine,
Haste me to my steed,
Haste me to war as one of thine,
Haste me to paradise freed.

My path is that of the warrior,
To righteousness aligned,
I will not cease to fight the war,
Till Heaven is built in one mind.
Megan Sherman May 2017
The most perfect piece of Heaven,
Came to life inside,
When a kindly smile awoke the Heart,
Where passion went to hide.

An aura of transcendent light,
Filled me to my boots,
It'd do well, to dream and dwell,
In heavenly cahoots.
Megan Sherman Aug 2017
He preyed - on soul - till it discerned him -
The devout too devout to capture -
And of divinity - God proclaim him sham -
Flame too fierce to be rendered wrong by Devil's aperture -
Serendipity - chanced - a meeting -
'Tween two souls who illusion shun -
That sweetness of a feeling -
When a real enchantment - began -
Megan Sherman Jun 2017
A friend who had the will to care,
With heart so sure and strong and fair,
Who stooped to lend a heartfelt hand,
An exquisite example to our land.
No breath of malice lingered there,
Imbued with a love that's pure and rare,
Only beget kindly eyes,
As wide and deep as skies.

Though of a blasphemy I told,
Without thine regards bereft of my hearts gold,
I alienated a fair heart true,
For through my heart a warm breeze blew,
For having met a soul so kind,
Having neglected Love, activity refined,
In regret I bubble, rue,
But Love is what I wish for you.

The foulest howl I had beget,
For dwelling in lies I still fret,
Deceived by dubious Devils tongue,
My regrets I have sung.
I still chase sun, I still chase Love,
Even if not with your self,
Let our kinship swell with health,
Prithee, don't sully our memories with pain.
Megan Sherman Dec 2016
He thinks he was a Hero
So valiant and brave
But he lured me down a treacherous path
That most arrogant of Knaves

Heroics turned to villainy
As soon as my heart was caught
I'll never unlatch the hook
Though an escape was sought
Megan Sherman Dec 2016
He tinkers at my Heart
As Angels on a Harp
Making stunning reverberations
That pierce my spirit sharp
Heaven's Philharmonics
Are perceivable to me
To Ethereal tune, I doth swoon
Enveloped in Serendipity
Megan Sherman Dec 2016
Hope is the truest feeling
Borne aloft on fragile wings
She flirts and frolics in the atmosphere
Where all joy and all love sings

When I loved, dear, when I loved
Hope was a medicine to me
Neutralising the source of pain
And nursing tenderly
Megan Sherman Aug 2022
How do I fathom a rainbow?
Dreaming, rocking to and fro?
We are the bards, see how we go,
Our path takes us high and low

Do I dissect its composite colours like Newton,
Captured in a noble prism, sounds similar to prison
Or do I reverently give gratitude that it is available to my perception
And a raging furious blaze, symbol of life's circular direction

The truth of bows iridescent beauty hath rapt us in throe
The torch of nature liberated from lordly grip be ours to hold
In streams of dreams and fires of gold
Sat beneath the cosmic arch brooding in desire and woe
Megan Sherman Aug 2022

How many times these lips have spoken

Of a deep distress

By trials of life my spirit broken

And so the Devil boasts success


But I comprehend better days

May be heading in

My lips may yet learn happier ways

World's joy is mine to win
Megan Sherman Nov 2016
Humility is hardly
In plenty in our person
But if we’d harbour humbleness
We’d lose so many burdens

Without unbridled arrogance
Enveloping ego goes away
And our born-again personalities
Can see what’s clear as day

Namely that Humility
Is all that’s ever needed
To stoke the soul to do its work
Till by Death it’s superceded

If it wasn’t for Humility
The world would be run amok
With the bad and brazen actions
Of a selfish and conceited stock

So we salute you, sweet Humility
For showing us the way
Be forever a guide, deep inside
Lest we go astray
Megan Sherman Aug 2017
All roads might take a turning
In to a hurricane
Yearning for cosmic churning
To bring end of the bane

For want of Life's wisdom I'm learning
Stood at the open pane
Stood twirling, twisting, turning
Perhaps I'm the storm on the next lane
Megan Sherman Oct 2018
Music is the dream
Of World abloom with song
Consciousness of Peace
As Nature riot in the throng
Imagined by the Heart
Beacon of delight
Far outshine the stars
Incessant motion! In the night
An opera, a ballad
Descant of the noon
The opera evolution
Ballad birdies' croon
Sonata of the summer
Sunrise writes the score
Pure as hymns of Sunday
Tell of a pious war
Megan Sherman Aug 2021
I am myself the bride of doom
Betrothed to the dark
Orchids in my heart abloom
My spirit wears the mark

But ready am I for the light
Unless I it has forgot
Waiting for my spirit's flight
Out of the rancid rot
Megan Sherman May 2022
I am the Lord of my own life
To experience a devoted wife
Traversing joys and fathoming pain
Wisdom, knowledge mine to gain
But my double assist me on the path
Peace in destructions aftermath
In spite of trouble I happy, laugh
Paint Love's skies like Van Gogh
Megan Sherman Aug 2021
I ate my breakfast - drank my tea
And visited the woods
The spirits came out to see me
Trespasser - in their neighbourhood

And trees - like legs of God
Extended canopies
Under which I gently trod
In all my vanity

Their grace did move me - a mighty force
Against my little Heart
Ambassadors of Nature - proud endorsed
By Shaman's flying - magic dart

I willed the woods - to swallow me
As Sun - swallows the skies
For in Nature's belly I'd be free
Would let my spirit fly

And life - sweet life - bloomed all around
I felt it in my veins
Upon a bough a freebird sung
And anodised - my pain

Until we deign - to learn - from Trees
No soul - has claim to wisdom
They ancient as the churning seas
Of bright - immortal - season
Megan Sherman Aug 2017
I break rules - no obeisance -
To tyrants whim and law -
Freedom - incandescence -
Ferrying to sweet shore -
The sycophants - sing praises -
Yet fall short - of the divine -
Praying to poverty, pain and death -
In every rotten line -
Playing games in court of King -
Till spirits wrapped in brine -
But through medium of me all creation sing -
So woe be you if you transcend the line -
Your rules - laws - customs -
Conventions - bore the babes -
For future free they hum -
Belles of the righteous rave -
Megan Sherman Feb 2021
I built a wall around my soul

After heartaches struck

I could not fathom my way out

With logic or with luck

Thorns of Love had barbed it

And so dance came to end

Pain across soul's chambers writ

As it bereaved of friends

Will time acquaint me with the one

With strength to fell those walls

And introduce my soul to sun

And end this darkest spell

A soul is not made to be bleak

Its accustomed to life's pleasure

But bitter experience makes it weak

And violates its treasure
Megan Sherman May 2017
I capture every Love I feel,
With coy and slanted word,
Imploring to my shepherd,
To admit me to the herd,
I wonder if they feel it too,
Or did they see straight through,
For being jaded, spirit faded,
Not the one to woo,
Hearts are born fated to die,
Aloft on Passion's hearse,
They say it most of Fame but I,
Think Love is bigger curse.
Megan Sherman Aug 2017
I come adorned with laurels,
To bless thee for thy morals,
And summon thee to dance.

Wearing my magic crown,
They have smile shifted from frown,
Enamoured of romance.

Their mind befits the crown's majesty,
For defying devils calumny,
Hath world in evil trance.

I with haste attempt to suppress,
The trances sad caress,
Which strike righteous mind like lance.

Another haunted there most certainly exists,
Unite in fight against devilish trysts,
Our statures in warrior stance.

And so I bear aloft my flame,
To another who shines the same,
To do so my freedom grants.

If, mirroring, that light,
My soul should take flight,
For freedom we wax, rave and rant.
Megan Sherman Jun 2018
I could not be where I was kept
With devil alone to dwell
The mind that discern heaven
Belong to eye that fathomed hell
Megan Sherman Nov 2016
I danced in sweet Pan’s shadow
In his dreamy, dappled light
Frolicking till the morrow
Immersed in sheer delight
Waltzing hand in hand we went
Traversing through the wilds
I am risen, no more blind
I am again a child
Megan Sherman Dec 2018
I'd like to walk beneath the sky
To see the world under time's cloak
Hear the free birds' wandering cry
To see in flesh the hidden folk
I'd like to walk beneath the sky
To hear Earth's song, bespoke
Feel and taste the Lover's sigh
To go wild as we wake

I'd like to fly over the trees
Dissolve the bars behind my eyes
Divide the buildings from the breeze
That conquer, jade time's skies
I'd leap bold at far horizon
Beat wings against the moon
Touch bonny rainbow, on and on
As its fierce fires bloom

I'd like to soar through stratospheres
Chasing the Angels' light
Who nourish souls with love and tears
Through baleful, evil nights
To God, we'd go, see eternal years
That no ****** devil blights
Puts pain to past, perishes fears
Reveals a universe of light

I'd like to see creation
A magic mist imbued with gold
Transcend time's trepidation
A wonderful Universe to behold
Immortal worlds, God's animation
Its Beauty never sold
A goddesses' destination
See her sweet, unfold
Megan Sherman Dec 2016
I'd like to live and live again
Unencumbered by affliction
When the first new breath begins
I'll breathe without restriction
And I am sure that when I live
What's pure in me survives
My deeds resonate in memory
And keep the best in me alive
Megan Sherman Oct 2020
I'd like to Love before I die
Before my heart expires
Tis magic to be wild with Love
Succumbed to deep desires
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
Megan Sherman Feb 2017
I'd love to live for the lust of life
To lust of life I'd be captive wife
I'd fly enamoured in to every day
Going my enchanted way
Fathoming feelings serene and pleasant
Touched by feelings iridescent
I'd ravish pleasures sweet and coy
Enchanted of the cosmic joy
Revealed supreme magnificent

But ball and chain wrap my spirit up
My passion waiting to erupt
Overwhelmed by thoughts and fears
And all my awful stresses, tears
My mortal suffering I can't transcend
I fear to it there'll be no end
I'd love to live for the lust of life
To lust of life I'd be captive wife
But first I must make my spirit mend
