With each passing day I am more and more inspired to spend time doing things that I absolutely love. Recently I took time to indulge in a much needed poetry binge via Instagram. I was so pleased to come across Chicago based poet Meresa Harley. After doing some digging, I learned that she is also featured in Train River Poetry: Fall 2020 available in paperback on Amazon!

Meresa has an intoxicating writing style that makes me feel like I am there, feeling and growing with her. She narrates her experiences in an engaging way that allows readers to analyze emotions via critical thinking and illustrative wordplay. I also love how she uniquely arranges personal photographs alongside her poetry, transporting us visually and spiritually to the sacred space of melanated magic. #MERESAPOETRY

Golden Beyond Definition
an organic sweetness
in a world full of artificial
sweeteners
our love
pours out
fresh from the honeycomb,
pure and medicinal
soothes your cuts and burns
fills your soul with warmth
protects you
from harmful invaders
created to
sustain
not spoil,
growth,
is the only way we know
we want to see you
bloom
whole
on our own
we can
complete you,
the only thing we ask
is you match
our energy too.
honey,
how could we
ever settle
for the bare
minimum...
when we are above average?
written by Meresa, #MERESAPOETRY, 2020.
