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!
Night's Lure
Night entices me,
liberal and wild-eyed,
mentioning unseen treasures,
it opens the dark veil ajar.

Liberal and wild-eyed,
night parts its moist lips,
it opens the dark veil ajar
to tickle my senses.

Night parts its moist lips
like a barefooted lover
to tickle my senses,
offering a jug of wine.

Like a barefooted lover,
night bends over me with passion,
offering a jug of wine
to look deep into my life.

Night bends over me with passion,
mentioning unseen treasures,
to look deep into my life.
Night entices me.
