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!

Sometimes it takes darkness and the sweet
confinement of your aloneness
to learn
anything or anyone
that does not bring you alive
is too small for you.

Prompt:
Have fun with these random words in your entry today: museum, step, fuel, swipe, clay, brag, and suspicion.


--------

In my museum of memories, I dare to step
through halls of time where nostalgia's kept

artifacts of life, like clay--molded to shape--
fuel flames of the heart and cannot escape

I swipe across years and touch to my past,
each frame a story, forever to last

my right to brag in tears that etch the air
with suspicion of fate, yet love beyond compare.
