SADIA ZUBAIR PHOTOGRAPHY
I can’t find a breath to breathe
I grip the camera
Like it was my dying seed
Everything was blurred
Except the image in the lens
I tried to speak
But the words were slurred
I focus on that was to come
Only to realize
The moment had already gone
I cannot direct
I can only portray the sight
I attack point blank
An empty canvas
Soon to be filled with colorful emotion
I hear the noise around me
Smell the stench of filth on the ground
I embrace the surroundings
Nothing matters to me
Except capturing
What my eyes have seen
That faint picture
That haunts me
My hands in position
I start it up like a
Key in a car ignition
Without limits and conditions
I want to put my finger
To trigger the experience
So my thoughts can linger
Like a beautiful, sultry
Soul singer
The scene so imaginative
It manifest into an incredible
Perception of reality
Solely conceived as
My very own creation
It consoles me
Wraps around to hold me
My mind often consumed
With love, hatred and doom
This is the only thing
That can ever slow me
At a constant battle
Like im riding a horse without a saddle
Taking chances
Making life with more meaning
My eyes are happily gleaming
Because they never stop seeing
What no one else
Could comprehend perceiving
I hold it tight to my heart
Like im throwing a bulls eye
With my lucky dart
A lot like I love
Full of unusual mistakes
So complicated
I need to slow down
And put on my brakes
Too stubborn to confess
That I am an untangled mess
But I finally take a breath
Slow down and press
That sound I love to hear
Sometimes bringing me to tears
Holding on with all my might
The flash has blinding light
In the end
All I can see
Is a beautiful picture
I’ve been waiting to see
Finally im in love
Slow down
Step back
Walk forward
Take a deep breath...
