This is Not a Love Poem
Greg Fuguet
This is not a love poem.
Not a cliché, I am no Romeo.
She will not read it.
There will be no guitar,
No syncopated sound of tapping stones
Thrown at her window.
No, I do not subscribe to that,
Those hopeless romantics,
Their sorrowful loves.
This is not a love poem.
I know joy and this is joy.
Smell the flower as
It sprouts from the ground.
If romantics are romantics
Then an agape I AM.
I know love. He is love.
But no, this is not a love poem.
Love is real and God is love,
Love is joy and joy is where love poems leave off.
But this one continues.
She is beautiful.
Lovely and loving.
A creation created to create.
Masterpieces. Things to behold,
To see. Like God’s mirror,
Fogged up with human deficiency.
But beauty is what it is.
Love is what it is
And it is immense.
God is love.
This is a God poem.

what a wonderful ending! simple and concise but a very layered and novel idea. one thing that jumped out at me immediately was the manner in which you used punctuation. it seemed as if part of the time you used proper grammatical punctuation, but you also used it as a poetic tool to set apart certain phrases or ideas. maybe create a more recognizable pattern to this idea or maintain a theme with your punctuation throughout the poem.
well done greg! keep writing, i think it is a good way for you to express your specific poetic muses and a good exercise in "artistic" thinking that i imagine will bring an added layer of poetry to your photography and other artistic endeavors.
