Seven Bridges

I want to go back to  

The trail.

The one with exposed

Tree roots hiding in the

Very dirt that houses

Every wispy Tendril.

An Indian paintbrush poking through

The Micha that crumbles under

My boots. I can’t pick the

Prairie-fire to put behind her ear,

So, I close my

Eyes and etch the rust colored

Vibrancy into my memory.

Am I deceiving myself again?

or

Is it just the thin mountain air?

I swear she was looking back at

Me.

–– M.L.

another poem for the wrong person

I can listen to those songs

That you picked out for me over and over–

Over analyze the lyrics,

Though I know they don’t phase you.

I Listen to the rise and fall of the music

Try to remember the rise and fall

of your breath

When you’d fall asleep

on the couch, too peaceful

to notice me stealing glances at your profile.

I memorized every shadowed curve on your face.

But now you’re gone.

All I have is that silhouette in my mind.

An outline

Of who you were,

Who we used to be.

And those stupid fucking songs

that make me think

For fifty-two whole minutes

That you love me.

Then the tracks stop.

Reality sinks in and

Instead of listening to the music I

Return to my thoughts.

Hoping that it’s true.

That you do feel it.

But I know you don’t.

You never did,

And you never will.

Somehow I’m still writing

Another poem about you.

Because no matter how hard I try

I can’t seem to will myself

to stop loving you.

the trick to holding on (was all that letting go) by taylor swift

[ink-phoenix]

I know your first impulse is to despair. To say we’re fucked. To feel desperate and hopeless. I feel it. We all feel it.

But Notorious RBG would not have wanted us to lie down and accept defeat.

She’d have wanted us to fight like hell. And that’s what we’re going to do.

This is my Folklore photoshoot 🌿

I love taking photos so much, but I usually tend to prefer landscapes and nature.

I really love Folklore' booklet (and obviously the CD too!), so...

This is me trying!

Every @taylorswift ' photoshoot is beautiful, but the folklore one particularly struck me in a different way, maybe a stronger one, and inspired me. One day, I was watching those photos like an obsession, I get up from the sofa, I took the tripod and the phone in my bedroom and I started to photograph. I love photography (I hope to become a professionist one day), but I often prefer subjects like other people or landscapes. Anyway, that day I felt good, nice and in a good mood. I felt like a photomodel! When I finished of taking photos, I watch every of them. They weren't like I would but I thought that editing the coloring in the pictures would make me look better. And so it was! But the day after I wasn't quite sure. I saw the pictures and I didn’t want to post them anymore. I saw myself as a ghost, a dead woman, or the Virgin Mary. I didn’t look as good as Taylor does. I was sad and angry. So I asked a friend if he liked hose pictures and he said yes. I didn’t quite believe him, but then I decided to post one of them and... Lots of friends complimented me! I gradually understood I liked them, because that’s me and it doesn’t matter if someone will laugh at me. Maybe, if I feel inspired again, I’ll do more. 😘

okay who wants to get their feelings hurt by my “which song from ‘folklore’ are you based solely off my own breakdowns” quiz?

A tale that becomes folklore is one that is passed down and whispered around. Sometimes even sung about. The lines between fantasy and reality blur and the boundaries between truth and fiction become almost indiscernible. Speculation, over time, becomes fact. Myths, ghost stories, and fables.
