Gothic poetry of leonardo draculay volume 3

This is a book of romantic poetry. It is a book about love. The poetry in this book was written to a real woman. The love of my life. If I were to tell you her name you would probably know of her. It has been a long struggle to win her love. But it is said that what ever is worth having is worth fighting for. Besides my poetry I have written much music on the same theme. I have written one purely religious poem. But much of the language of my poetry has elements in it that can also be considered to have a religious element. I find that much of the language of religious and romantic poetry is much the same. And can often be taken from one type of poetry whether religious or romantic and be placed in the other and hardly anyone would notice the difference. I use a gothic theme in my poetry because it harkens back to the romantic period. At this time in history I believe that emotion was much more a part of life. And that with the dawn of the modern age with science and technology and a faster pace of life with its greater concern with finances both on a personal and national and global level many people have really lost touch with much of there emotions without even realizing it. If you real the poetry and in face other literature written through out history one can often see that a greater quantity of emotional language was used. And this often leads one to consider that society at other times in history were much more in touch with there emotions. This especially can be see in the language used in the poetry and other literature of the romantic period. You only have to think of most of the great poets of the romantic period such as lord Byron. In face almost all the literature of this period in history is penetrated through and through with emotion. This is not only true of the language of love but also most other emotions. This sometimes includes the darker emotions as well. One author often comes to mind such as Edgar Allen Poe with his " fall of the house of usher", " the tale tale heart" and most of his poetry. When the name Edgar Allen Poe is mentioned who has not immediately thought of his most famous involving a certain black bird. In face Edger Allen Poe has been a very great influence on me. Which is one reason why I use the gothic theme in poetry. And I consider the romantic period to be a more expressive period in history and think that much of the poetry surpasses that of the modern and post-modern period. One would think that as time went by that most people would learn from the all the poets who went before them and would the writing better poetry but that is often not the case. It seems that what modern and post-modern poetry gains in one area of emotional expression it often loses in another area of emotional expression. The poetry of the modern and post-modern period is often of a more earthy quality in that it involves more earthy emotions. In modern and post-modern poetry lust is sometimes a subject of expression whereas in the romantic period the same poet if he lived in that period would have love as his main subject of expression. Not to get me wrong the emotion of lust did appear in their poetry but most often not as a main subject. In fact the language of emotion in romantic poetry can be thought of as the language of seduction. One can use lust a seduce a person but without any deeper emotion in the relationship the seduced person whether man or woman will become bored and the relationship will end. But with the language that carries a deeper emotion they are seduced more deeply and as a result the relationship not only has a longer lifespan but is also deeper and more satisfying. In face in this post-modern world a deeper emotional expression can be an advantage in ones relationships and other areas of life. That is not to even mention the art of seduction in which it can almost be considered a necessity. In this modern age one sure way to stand out is by the use of more emotional language.
