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: Write a story or poem about a broken promise.

--------------

Guilt

hard to understand how primal my need
to get over this
this promise that sparkled in your eyes
and crossed an ocean to survive
in my blood, simmering slowly
as a glorious hope

yet the distances spoke and I broke it
with my own hands
into thousand pieces
and now each shard pierces through my skin,
sighing, whispering, prickling
like chimera inside my flesh
