Folklore: The Folk Tales of Summer

This collection of poems is my favorite out of all the poems i have penned because it is based on one of my favorite albums by Taylor Swift. The poems i wrote are based on the stories that she sings about in her album folklore and the most beautiful part of the whole album being "folklore love triangle". So this collection features poems based on all songs on the album except the bonus track "the lakes" because i feel like this is one of her most beautiful song and i do not want to touch it. It is also my favorite song on this album, so i will let it be.

Folklore: The Folk Tales of Summer

This table shows the name of the track, which inspired this poet to write a poem based on the story told by the Dr. Taylor Alison Swift in her 8^th studio album “folklore” by combining with emotions I felt at one point in time.

Dancing With the Devil

in the woods

dances a devil named hope

that is out to get you

it holds a power, so divine

it can set your life in flames

or grow daisies on your grave

 

do not step on the same steps

do not walk on the safe grounds

it will as you to take risk

give you poison or love potion

to see what it makes of you

About- This poem reflects my views about "hope" which can both be a friend or foe.

Endless Echoes

death accompanied her and me

but i was the one brought back from the sleep

only to sit discomposed in utter silence

stream leaked from my eyes,

like river from a cold glacier

hundreds of wolves eyes,

staring at mine

the leak is old but strong

i cry now and then

as flood of memories

sweeps into my head

About- This poem is a reflection of a moment in my life when i sat quiet, shadows were breathing and memories flooded in like an ancient glacier just melted down, which still do.

Veil of Despair

Death does not comes to me

Even when I pray for it

I’m coward

My body freezed and hands paralysed

In the inside,

My life is torturous and tormenting

On the outside,

I believe there exist a better place for me

I’m stuck between life and death, my view blurry

My soul dead, head full of death wishes

Is it called living?

About- Standing on a cliff, i'm caught in a storm of conflicting emotions between the urge to escape and the faint hope of something better. I know what i'm facing but sometimes the voices are too loud in my head and so i am waiting for the closure to arrive at my door, until then i can only do one thing that is write. Writing gives me immense power to find a path through the storm and the hope that someday peace will find its way back to me.

Euphonious Summer Evening

Walking back home, I take my time

To feel that summer evening

The birds returning to their nests

The sun is glowing red

And the night is one step ahead

The sun’s beautiful reflection in the pond

And the cold breeze that hit me and down to my soul

I stand there in peace and hear the voices of crickets

The serenity I feel in the euphonious tracks of nature

Walking back home, I take my time to

Feel that summer evening

About- In the tranquil of summer's evening, where each breeze and euphonious voice tells a story of peace, and this poem is one of the reflections through this poet's lens. I believe it is to your like.

Silence of the Night

Silence of the night, an invitation to the poet

To discuss the cause, the solitude it screams

Someone is sleeping, someone is weeping

The silence of the night, what could the reason be?

 

Someone is sleeping, what a happy life

Someone is weeping, a torturous goodbye

For someone to call it night, one needs happiness

A night without happiness, a never ending day of crying in veil

About- Sometimes the voices in my head gets too loud that i don't even know what to do. I will just stare at the ceiling when i cannot fall asleep and then i would just think and think, and this is one of the poems that is the product of it. 

Cosmic Longing: Un Amore Irragguiungibile

everyone flying high above the clouds

a gasp and i fell on the ground,

my blue ink is now red, glittering with tears

their blue ink fought the great war, the real winners

pain for evermore caused by the dagger,

a dream so grand, an epic defeat

a search party sent into the woods,

i pray now & then to rise

a latibule to reverse the augury

ended up in a chimera

someone set fire to the woods

suffering from asphyxiation

learnt about the twinkling lights in the sky

learnt about the script that was never mine

i dreamed to be so high, stargazer is just a word now

my dream shattered, i cried

an excruciating pain

About- It is a poem birthed from the inner turmoil in my head that is never at peace. It's about trying your best, giving your everything but still ending up in a shitty place, knowing the pain that comes from it is here to stay and will haunt you for evermore because when you finally accept the defeat, you look for reasons, reasons to stay here and reasons to find new purpose.
