The fire flickered
Slowly simmered down
And our warm embrace
Kept my heart
From flying to the far beyond
In the fading light
I held your gaze
Your eyes wept
For the future that could flourish
If I would loosen
My grip
The crackling coals
Lowly lit the love
That started to form
On my lips.
Liyona is an “average joe” kind of writer who likes to think about ordinary things and then write them down. Ever since she can remember, she has been rhyming words and creating lyric poems. During her college years, she took a more serious bent toward writing and started to post on her blog (The Life and Times of a Quirky Character). Currently, she resides on the East Coast of the United States just north of the country’s capital. Liyona’s prose have been published in Visual Verse, Flora Fiction, Spillwords, Free Verse Revolution, The Anthropocene Hymnal and The Beautiful Stuff Poetry Anthology.
