Things That Touch Your Heart

In Xanadu did Kubla Khan. A stately pleasure dome decree:  Where Alph, the sacred river, ran through caverns measureless to man . Down to a sunless sea. - Samuel Coleridge

     So, in answer to a question why poetry and music on every post. This blog is my diary. I write it for myself. If others read and enjoy I am happy.

 Poetry is my biggest passion it always has been. I read some Christina Rossetti poems when I was seven and they just touched my heart. The first poem I read was " when I am dead my dearest ". This lead to me spending much time searching the library shelves for more. I loved the darkness of Edgar Allan Poe, the way Robert Frost could capture that perfect thought and verbalized it in a way that we all could just get it. One of my favourite poets is Samuel Coleridge he just captured my imagination with his visionary gothic prose. The poems lead to my lifelong addiction to gothic literature. 

      Why music ?

   Music is another tool which affects your mood. It can make you happy, sad, want to get up and dance. I don't have a genre of music that I like. Instead I like songs of every genre that make me feel something in my heart. Passion, sadness, joy, some remind me of past events and people. So, mainly the songs I share are ones I love. Like the one today. Other songs just seem to fit into the blog post theme.
