About This Author
My name is Joy, and I love to write. Why poetry, here? Because poetry uplifts its writer, and if she is lucky enough, her readers, too. Around us, so many objects abound to write about. Once a poet starts with a smallest, most trivial object, he shall discover that his pen will spill out what is most delicate or most majestic hidden inside him. Since the classics sometimes dealt with lofty subjects with a lofty language, a person with poetry in his soul may incline to emulate that. That is understandable. Poetry does that to a person: it enlarges the soul and gives it wings. Yet, to really soar, a poet needs to take off from the ground. Kiya's gift. I love it!

Prompt:
As the year closes, memories flow... let this quote inspire you because. "When someone you love becomes a memory, the memory becomes a treasure."
Author unknown


----------

twilight's embrace, a gentle glow,
hints at a love that used to flow

as an alive, happy melody,
now a treasure, a full symphony

his smile lit up the darkest night
now a memory, shining bright

his embrace, the warmth of a sunny May
comforts me still when days turn gray

he lingers in sunsets in colors that fade
his life I recall, as history made

his love transcends the edges of time
he's now my poem with cheery rhyme

in hearts' gallery, his picture's framed
he was much loved, his essence remained

to the realm unseen, he took his wings
inside my heart, he reigns as kings
