Unheard

While the sunset today... I tried making a conversation with you, You heard me but you didn't carefully listen. I told you about al the times when I needed you the most, I kept jogging my memory and I noticed myself all alone standing and fighting the world. While you kept hearing I didn't expect you listen to your faults because it was me who was wrong. I was wrong, I was wrong when I thought you were the only person I could rely on, I was wrong when I thought you were my guardian angel, I was wrong because you were my life, I was wrong because I thought I actually meant the same to you. I was wrong because you made me believe the sun would set and get another brighter day for me. I was wrong because you proved me wrong each day.  I was wrong because the sun had set and you turned around and smiled at me, I smiled at you and realised that I had gone unheard again... -Samanah.

All for a Happy ending.

A story that I was stuck on, A story that made me think every moment. Why haven’t I completed it yet, when I had known the end throughout? Why have I manipulated the story, when I knew the truth after all? Why didn't I want the readers to read what the truth was? I had too many questions for which I didn't have answers. I was confused and lost. For the first time I had to write what the readers wanted to read. For the first time I hid the truth. For the first time I completed a story that was never meant to have a happy ending. A story that I wrote for the people who believed in happy endings.   -Samanah. Rizvi

I promise I will survive

It's funny how someone who gave you so many memories isn't with you to relive them together It's funny how our lives and priorities changed. It's funny how we thought we would stay forever The path that we chose turned out to be different, We walked together but changed our directions. The future seemed so bright for us, Life seemed so perfect for us. Every morning had better plans for us, Every night ended like a fairytale. The sun shone brightly, The moon hid between the clouds perfectly.  Life was beautiful when we were together.  Life could have been better if we stayed together, The truth is that life won't be the same without you, But the truth is life won't give me reasons to frown anymore. I will find the beauty in life without you, I will make the sun shine brightly at me, I will fall in love with the moonlight again, I will walk this path that we promised to walk together. I will laugh at our plans, at our memories... I promise I will survive.  -Samana...

Polka dots

That polka dots shirt was not suiting him at all. It was a challenge for him to walk the ramp wearing that print. He seemed nervous. He wanted his best walk today. To everyone’s surprise Kabir walked in style, I was in love with him even if he had to wear a polka dots shirt. -Samanah. Rizvi

Those unfilled crevices...

The crevices on the road remind me about the cracks in my life. They remind me of the many dark gaps I had left unfilled. It reminded me how I left everything behind and how those crevices affected my life. I am now leaving those unfilled crevices; I am now walking away from my past. -Samanah. Rizvi

Fish fingers

And I wondered why fish fingers were called “fish fingers”. Was it to tease the fishes for not being gifted with fingers? Or just making people order fish fingers to actually see if they were served with them? Funny how we got fooled with a tricky name, funny how I was never served fish fingers.                                                     -Samanah.

Today you will write

When there is so much to write, why is your page blank today? When you want to empty your head, why aren't your finger typing those words today? When you want to tell the world how you feel, why are you so quiet today? Today everything seems different, The words you use are no longer yours, The language you speak is not known to you, The path you have chosen is not chosen by you. Today you want to write but the world won't read, Today you will write but your page will remain blank. -Samanah. Rizvi 28th July 2013 22:22 p.m
