_**About the Author**_
 Joyce Job is a former I.T. professional hailing from Kerala.
She writes online under her pen name Lirio Marchito, which means “Wilted Lily” in
Spanish, a tribute to Pablo Neruda. It was after reading his poem “Tonight I can
write the saddest lines”, during her college days, that she started writing poetry
regularly. She writes mainly poems, short stories, book reviews and blogs, in both
Malayalam and English. Her favourite Malayalam author is O.N.V. Kurup. His love 
and concern for nature and subtle, suggestive tone have left a deep influence on
her. The environment, its issues and solutions are a major theme of her blogs. Along
with reading and writing, she also enjoys travelling. You can follow her works at:

_Two Lives_

Craving to write a simple “love” or “mirage”
 in a piece of code. Typing out of 
a desire then deleting out of necessity; “aroma” or “drizzle” or “rainbows”. In 
an infinite maze of “ifs” and “elses” I stand broken, my emotions wrecked.

Poetry lost in logical dilemmas,
 stories buried in broken thoughts, characters 
strangled to meet deadlines, plots caught in the catastrophes of demands. Here I
am a lost writer, writing programs for a living.

The same 26 letters of the English alphabet,
 plus some numbers and symbols – the
narrow strait connecting my two lives.
