“In lipstick and hiking boots, Julie travels up the mountain to escape her life. What she doesn’t realize is that she’s about to discover a man who holds the power to transform her identity forever.” In my last post I wrote about my experience at my first writer’s conference. If you’d like to check it out, hereContinue reading “Cross OVER THE THRESHOLD With Me”

More than a Writing Conference
Decked in a blazer with a briefcase hanging by my side, I passed a small sign that read “Write2Ignite.” My first writer’s conference. I hoped and prayed for opportunity, knowledge, and experience that waited behind the glass doors. By the end of the conference, I received all and more. Anyone who hopes to hone their craft and bring theirContinue reading “More than a Writing Conference”
Post Grad Life: 3 Months of Limbo
I sat in a coffee shop with my friend Emily, a large white cup and saucer we both agreed came out of a Friends episode rested between my hands. “It feels almost like you’re in limbo.” Those were my words to her while describing my life after college so far. I say limbo because manyContinue reading “Post Grad Life: 3 Months of Limbo”
Feeding Desire
By Leah Jordan Meahl A tight embrace to melt the edge of loneliness To feel a beating heart—a lullaby desire. The brush of skin, though not my own Full of life, of breath, I cry desire. Asleep, awake, my thoughts are captivated By your face, though blurry, O thy desire. YouContinue reading “Feeding Desire”

By Leah Jordan Meahl For the dove flies on, Leaving a trail of red below The flag—at half-staff. Streams of fire replace the stars, Across the sea sees the fading glow, For the dove flies on. The heart strings are drawn, As the fabric hangs low, The flag—at half-staff. A proudContinue reading “2016: The Year of Half Staff”
Ode to the Moon Beam
By Leah Jordan Meahl O majestic watchman of the night, Whose soft iridescent glow transfixes, Stops me dead in awe of your sight, No eye can avoid your captivating presence. The world’s lighthouse, brilliant and true Takes gentle care of what lies in darkness. Each sundown reveals your face anew, Big, bright, and beautifulContinue reading “Ode to the Moon Beam”
Forever Enamored
By Leah Jordan Meahl The arrow flies Striking perfectly, A poisoned tip of desire Pierces skin, Seeping into blood That pumps life Now strangled. Stuck. In a pit. Face glistens. Hot. Chest constricts. Heavy. The ladder to climb out Has no end.
Lone Wolf
By Leah Jordan Meahl I am the first star of dusk, Waiting for the others to join me, But they’re still light-years away. I am the bear in hibernation, Awakening from sleep, But with no one keeping me warm. I am the bird in V formation, Flying south for winter, But IContinue reading “Lone Wolf”
Donald Trump: Choose Love
Friday, January 20th, 2017. That morning you were doing one of two things: watching the Presidential Inauguration or not watching it. As for my family, we sat around our TV and watched history being made. It was the first inauguration that I was actually interested in seeing. I don’t have a taste for politics inContinue reading “Donald Trump: Choose Love”
