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!

You Tell Me
You tell me:
What happens to love held back?

Does it effect a cure akin to an ointment
in worldwide renown
or does it turn into an accursed scorn
and dangle with indifference?

Does it croak
like a mutated frog,
then go jump in the lake?

Does it reek out of lazy armpits
not accepting any roll-ons
or does it turn into
a dastardly master
haunting your nightmares?

You tell me,
You should know.
