Ligia Amorim Biography

My life has always been one of passion, writing, my preferred mean of expression. Since early have I listened to grandma, entertained with the greatest tales. Her words made my mind travel through romances and adventures. Smells, sights and human emotions far beyond a space or time of mine. I learned to feed my imagination. In time, I sought to construct the plots, play with words, sounds and meanings. I love to write and promise to continue even if my words find no willing ears, but I do hope you enjoy reading me.)

The Best Poem Of Ligia Amorim

Fear Of Anticipation

Apprehensively extend unsteady fingers
confirm externalization of the beat I hear.
Heat waves tighten my lungs in hollow breaths
and quick sanded is the lock on my knees.

The moment approaches with inescapable aura
trapped on my own irrevocable stubbornness
my body ignored in the ambition to tame
this frightened drum that sounds the rhythm of life.

I focus on the increasingly distant instant
in which I look back at this nonsensical state
and laugh at my disproportionate frail disgrace.

Eyes travel to fruitful ground of conquest
that requires dominance over this, a test
which is the control of our spirits vehicle.
