Mystery in Contemporary Love Poetry

Regardless of its era, each individual piece or collection of contemporary love poetry has some degree of mystery associated with it. The mystery needing to be resolved may be realized in the era of its contemporary love poet, but that is not necessarily the case. There are times when the mystery remains unresolved and can only be resolved in another era, but that is not always the case either, as some mysteries are never solved in part, or in total in any era.

It may be the element of mystery that causes others to question the sanity of the contemporary love poet during any specific era. Sometimes the question of the contemporary love poet's sanity may be raised in later eras by critics. Even the contemporary love poet may not fully understand the mystery he or she is inspired to write about. Which poet truly understands his or her muse?

Critics or readers of contemporary love poetry often discover a new mystery with respect to contemporary love poetry. If the contemporary love poet is still alive, he or she may be able to solve the mystery. If not, it may require a more extensive investigation. For example, questions arise like who is, or was the contemporary love poet with respect to a specific piece of contemporary love poetry, or a collective body of poetic works? What is or was  the source of his or her inspiration? Why was a particular piece of contemporary love poetry written? Was there a legitimate reason for it to be written at some specific time in history, rather than earlier or a later?

The question of its original poetic meaning is often a mystery in contemporary love poetry. A multiplicity of meanings may be possible, even though the contemporary love poet's original meaning may remain undisclosed. 
Is there a change in meaning in its translation? Is its translation accurate in conjunction with the original version?
How many different versions are there? Are they complete or incomplete?

Another mystery may be related to specific realities like the beauty of nature in a certain time or place, or the natural world and its phenomena in general. There is also the question of why things happen. Is there divine intervention or is it natural phenomena?

Part of what makes contemporary love poet so intriguing is its mystery. Critics and readers alike love the challenges of solving poetic mysteries. The mystery of life itself keeps many contemporary poets, critics and readers wondering. The power of words and expressions used in contemporary love  poetry is often a mystery , as well, but probably the greatest mystery in contemporary love poetry is the topic of love itself. No contemporary poetry ever explains all of the possible mysteries of love in the words of contemporary love poets.

A contemporary love poet can learn to use the element of mystery to enhance his or her contemporary love poetry. That is an art in itself.
