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. ** Images For Use By Upgraded+ Only **

Read and Run

Your eyes survey my soul
sprawled, scrawled on a page shaded
yellow, black and dark gray,
this is me, nothing but me.

I touch you with my words
gathered with the tapping of keys,
fingers fervent with desire and fire,
just for you, only for you.

We connect. Our minds commune
in a cyber intercourse, we made contact
my faceless lover, you came and clicked out
without a trace, without your name.

****

I dedicate this poem to my hundreds of readers who chose not to leave a comment in my port. I'd like to thank them, just the same.
