Dark romantic poetry does appeal to me. I love the author Emily Dickinson. Love can have the sappy and sweet side. But underneath all of that junk, there is the dark truth. It can show the lust and passion that all humans crave. It started in the beginnings of the 18th century which is one of my favorite time periods.
