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 **

# 19. this was unraveling
19. Write a poem about repetition, of things, events etc. repeating themselves. Pay attention to the idea that everything may repeat itself, but not in the same way.

Last night twas the same
stream of video fusing
my lust for vice with vice.

I came and went onto
a different stream
my cravings diffused
into "where is my soul?"

The music is the same
nostalgic base pumping
passing delicate orbs
gaining and losing control.
You came too.

"What is not flesh is not real"
I find myself chanting
and is this sleep I
cannot help repeating
same dream

same dream
