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!

The Heart Won't Lie
Prompt:
Begin your entry today with: The Heart Won't Lie

----------

The Heart Won't Lie

The heart won't lie, right then I knew
when my eyes met your sigh so true

I chased the stars, you climbed so high
and we still wondered where hopes did lie

I could dress doubt in silk and gold
and tell tales smoothly, clever and bold

yet, there beats a truth no mask can hide
an exact compass, my faithful guide

when logic spun its tangled thread
our hearts spoke those words unsaid

"no matter what the world does vie
let doubt retreat, let reason cry"

so, in loss, in life, in every try
I know for sure, my heart won't lie
