The Purest Kind of Love

by Gypsy Blue Rose

You were ahead of your time

loving the unlovable

being an extraordinary man 

who didn't stand

for hypocrisy, prejudice, or hate

fighting the noble fights

against

stoning women to death

ignoring children's hunger

or taxing the poor in God’s name

Your laughter echoes

like a dulcet creek's song

and Your twilight eyes are filled

with a thousand splendid suns

and a milliard of silver moons

~ no one can find a purest kind of love ~

Gogyohka is a five-line free-style Japanese poetic form with no strict rules on syllable count but as brief as possible. Any theme. Lines are grammatically connected. Alliteration, personification, and metaphor are okay but never rhyme. Japanese poets have written gogyohka since the 1910s. However, they did not name the form until 1983 by poet Enta Kusakabe.
