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.

Inside the Dark
Dark practices spells
to change everything
without touching;
shapes paled like roots
climb out of the floor
letting me pace among them.
When icy feet bump
into fierce, dreamless things,
stifling a moan,
I attempt to ward off--in vain--
other woes
that surface
in ebony waves.
