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.

EEEK! A Photo!

"Some one took a picture
and I'm scared what it will
show" -in pixels and frames-
my foibles and flaws...to be
laid bare, those I dared to hide
and you'd rather not know.

Yet, could it show my smile
bright and true, or a flicker
of sorrows or my blues? A click
of shutter, one sweet heartbeat
or frozen tales and tears
catching me unawares,

for in each picture, a story
is told with something
unveiled I wished to hold,
to unfold here, in a flash.
Still, I'll dash through this shadow
with a hope some light to show.
