Notes About The Poem

July 23,2025 Three options in I poetry contest Sponsored by Constance LA France

Idyllic

"God did not create darkness. Darkness is the absence of light. He did not create hate. Hate is the absence of love. Darkness and hate therefore, are the absence of God." ~ by poet



Kept apart by time, miles, and circumstance, 
their sweet reunion quivers with passion.

Seen distantly across the bridge, they ran.
Teeth, lips, and bodies collide, devouring.

Laughter between kisses, that look of love...
hands caress faces, hair, thumb brushing lips.

Skies break, thunder applauds, and storm clouds weep.
The clean scent of cool rain upon hot skin...

Steam hisses from this idyllic love scene.
Their embrace declares true love without words.

Gershon Wolf July 23, 2025 at 7:05 PM Love that syllogism, Crystal. Bravo, Gershon Crystol Woods July 24, 2025 at 9:07 AM Thank you Gershon... you've given me a new word! I looked it up...I didn't realize i had done that lol! The reasoning can go further into evil being the absence of good...God did not create evil. Evil exists in the absence of God.
