porcelain skin by Liyona

December 28, 2020December 8, 2020 / Liyona / 2 Comments

Dark nights And damp mornings Leave me With pits and ripened aches In my chest It was at the hotel In town square Where I fell into his Porcelain skin Tempted by the  Color of lust Only to wake  At the dawn of The sun And see that my own Soul had  Turned to stone. … Continue reading porcelain skin by Liyona

Waited, Willed and Wasted by Liyona

The troubling thing About the Lady living down the lane Is that she Waited Willed and Wasted all her time Counting every Dollar that  Entered her abode. This poem is directly inspired by the Tuesday Writing Prompt Challenge found here at Go Dog Go Cafe. The prompt this time was to use three words starting with "W". … Continue reading Waited, Willed and Wasted by Liyona

In the fading light by Liyona

December 14, 2020December 8, 2020 / Liyona / 9 Comments

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 lite the love That started to form On my … Continue reading In the fading light by Liyona

Willow Tree by Liyona

December 8, 2020November 13, 2020 / Liyona / 8 Comments

I am a fading king Waking up to morning dew That crowns my branches A willow Dare I move in the afternoon breeze? I am a foundation stone Fathering all good moments For critters that crowd  around me Dare I sing the morning song? I am a flightless prince Keeping all the misery Of the … Continue reading Willow Tree by Liyona

In your hands by Liyona

December 1, 2020November 13, 2020 / Liyona / Leave a comment

Rosy moments Flavored every part of my smile As I remembered how the little Bird flitted and flew Into your hands Gentle Strong Warm palms Where under the sun You toiled To build our home Our sanctuary And as the lines around your eyes Darkened and grew with time Lilac scented memories Bring a smile … Continue reading In your hands by Liyona

Choose by Liyona

My mother always told me To lend a helping hand To the stranger Down the lane On our street At the corner of the bakery For you never know  When that stranger Down the lane On our street Might meet  Unexpected fortune And they will always  Remember  Your kindness Filtered with gifts A helping hand … Continue reading Choose by Liyona

Throwback Friday- To say Nothing of the Dog by Liyona

November 20, 2020October 14, 2020 / Liyona / 6 Comments

Meeting and finding new news to bring back to my time . Flying through space whispering all my feelings Will you hear? For ages ago, I lost any sense of where you might be . Rippling raspberry tarts and late night chocolate kisses All scrumptious and delicious but concealing the fact this is not my … Continue reading Throwback Friday- To say Nothing of the Dog by Liyona

Where I go no one can follow by Liyona

November 16, 2020October 14, 2020 / Liyona / 5 Comments

Far and wide the river ran Outside of my heart running deep Carving stone waters rushing There I stood at the edge Almost falling in Hollow and alone I saw the rushing Feelings pass me by As I let the river rush along Never touching the deep For where I go  No one can follow … Continue reading Where I go no one can follow by Liyona

Throwback Friday- The Monster by Liyona

November 13, 2020October 14, 2020 / Liyona / 2 Comments

light flickers from the dirty dusty work bench as a man hovers, hunched over a large black mass he turns and I see his yellow stained lips and red viened eyes “Igor, is that you?” the snarl of my name on his twisted lips it hurts “Master” I call softly like the white petaled rose … Continue reading Throwback Friday- The Monster by Liyona

Sapphire Dust by Liyona

November 9, 2020November 10, 2020 / Liyona / 4 Comments

Jamie coughed as the dust in the air hit the back of her throat. The old attic hadn’t been touched since her grandmother’s passing 5 years ago. She blinked and saw old boxes stacked haphazardly; pillars of stuff that needed to be sorted. Jamie noticed that the attic still held the scent of cloves, her … Continue reading Sapphire Dust by Liyona
