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!

Your Profile on the Pillow

In the wreckage of a dream,
your features stay the same, guiltless,
childlike, soaking through sweat
but what I see in the semi-dark…
banging on the rocks,
pursued by hordes of ghosts,
are thoughts in your head,
a display of scenes, images,
emotions… a classic
masterpiece in half light
darkly dancing
on your face, pinkish,
turned sideways,
your hand clutching the white
of the pillow
like a lullaby.
