Beloved Poet

My beloved poet - a Victorian bard, who took my breath away with his fascinating works, when as a teenager I fell in love with poetry, romantic and passionate. a poet from Victorian era who hypnotized me  with a very different kind of gripping poetry - dramatic, subtle, philosophical, and metaphysical, an exploration in the complex and turbulent minds! I admired the story of a captivating Duchess who was gone, but smiled an intriguing smile from a portrait - envied forever by her resentful husband!  a dark side of mysterious love for Porphyria, a stunningly beautiful woman, purely in love, shockingly strangled by her psychotic lover, who after this heinous act, asks for forgiveness from merciful God! and I got completely carried away by the way, using plain children's vocabulary, the outstanding poet narrated the powerful legend of a Piper, who using his magically bewitching pipe, took revenge on the deceiving townfolks - who didn't keep their promises.   dramatic monologue - the creative form of psychological portraiture I fell in love with, along with the creator - Robert Browning!
