Don't be so concerned about what 'genre' your poetry is. It's not as important to classify poetry into genre as it is in prose.

Exactly, Karzkin! People have different opinions, see, and poems give different impressions to different people. Each impression, then, seeks out different opinions. For example, the poem Tree is more of a descriptive poem, but after much consideration, it looks more like a lyrical piece. It changes every time!

Anyways, just for you to know, a lyrical piece, according to ground theories is a poem that is either musical (meaning songs are lyrical poems, hence the term lyrics) or emotional. If a poem is about love, and is not narrating a love story, I'd see it as a lyrical poem.
