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: How do you know when you've met your match?

===============

Honestly speaking, you don’t. Only time does tell. To begin with, at least some of the time, people change or grow in different directions as they mature. That alone erases or alters the word match.

Speaking from my mind’s BS, meeting one’s match--as an idiom--has several connotations. It may mean the other person is just as strong and capable as you if you are fighting him/her in a rink or in business or in life in general. It may also mean someone who is like you and you can work well with. Mostly the word match brings the idea of a couple’s relationships.

I can say—somewhat with hesitation as people are different—that there possibly are a few things that should line up for a match to be made. As to couples’ relationships, what comes to mind are:

• You feel at ease, happy, and alive when this person is near you.
• The other person feels just right, intuitively.
• Your sense of right and wrong or, in a nutshell, what you consider morality is similar or the same.
• Your enjoyment of life and having a good time means the same or similar thing to each of you.
• Your backgrounds, families, country, language etc. are somewhat compatible.
