Confused
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Under the lamp,
I sit with a pen and a pad,
Searching for the right words to write,
To describe you,
As I think and think,
I realize I have no words that can describe you,
It is so hard to write on you,
But then again I'm lost because of you,
In this dark illuminated light that falls on my pad,
I put my head on the pad,
And doze of in a deep slumber,
Dreaming what would it be like in your arms.

Nowhere
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
I've been trying to reach you,
In this silent dead area,
Where neither I nor you can see,
The dark and misty air,
Vague,
Though clear.
I can see you on the field,
Looking for a place to shield,
You and me,
We are distant,
But not that far from reach !

Sealed in a case,
Engraveth with caress and love,
I gaveth her everything she longed for.

Cofession of a writer
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Writing.....
It gives me peace,
It makes me feel at ease,
Comfort and love
Not a question
Its better than eating and sleep.
Whilst writing I feel free,
To write anything I like,
No one to consent,
No one to condemn.

Black heart
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Petal by petals shed,
Each petal holds bits of my soul,
The day it all sheds of this rose,
There will be no rose and no soul,
You'll cry then,
And there will be no one to attest.

Heartless soul
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Take my arm and let it slit,
Let the blood flow in bits,
Take my body away and add it in a list,
The list of those who have fallen into abyss.

I may have ruined my wrists,
Cutting deep in the presence of a wist,
Crying and screaming in this mist
But nothing in this world is worth a miss.

You
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
You
The sound of the windchimes,
I find so divine,
It feels like you're mine,
Every morning I wake up,
I breathe the words you speak,
Feel your pulse and the blood seep,
It makes my heart skip a beat,
I feel like holding on to you forever,
And never letting go !

Hazardous and frightful.

Pill
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
The insomniatic nights,
I would lie in my bed looking here and there,
It's like I dwell in the dark,
But now I just take a pill or two,
And sleep in traquility.

Breathless
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Throwing her body in the ocean,
The water felt like needles stabbing her,
Making her breathless,
In that moment, all she could think about was the man she loved,
The water started emerging in her mouth,
Filling her oesaphagus,
Her lungs felt like they were going to explode,
Nevertheless she was sure she was going to die.
Minutes were flying past,
Time was crucial,
Then suddenly a hand came in pulling her body out,
But it was too late,
She had already gone,
Leaving nothing but despair.

Confessions of a drunk man
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Give me a reason,
Give me a reply,
Let us go in suit and tie.

Melancholy
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
She walked in the field alone,
Looking for a place to mourn,
She had lost her true love,
Thinking how  he took her hand when she last wore gloves,
That was at her wedding,
Tears started shedding,
Her eyes yearned to see him,
He left her amiss,
She looked back at the good times.
Now nothing seems to help,
People always leave,
Leaving nothing but a reason to grieve.

Savior
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
On the edge of the cliff i stood,
I looked down and i took a deep breath.
That was it,
I was going to do this,
I was ready to jump of the cliff,
Suddenly someone pulled me away,
I fell back with a thud.
This unknown started screaming at me,
And scolding me as if he were my mother.
I just lay on the floor staring into his eyes.
I paid no attention to what he said,
Just gazed into his eyes.
" Do you understand young lady?"
I smiled at him,
And hugged him.
"You're my savior."
He blushed a little and then pulled away.
Leaving me where i was.
I guess my life did have a meaning,
People cared about me.

Mirror
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Broken images,
vague memory.
I remember when we first met.
I recall mirroring my personality
within you,
Then it all faded
the
day i saw your true identity.
The dark and evil side of you,
You committed a crime !
Taking away an innocent man's life,
Is that all you had to do?
Couldn't you have forgiven him?
What to do?
What to do?
I expected better from you.

Shadow
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Fear
of the
unknown
has frightened him,
I see him lurking
behind his
shadow.
Death
has conversed
with him.
He himself
beseeched
it to stay.
I don't
blame him,
Or his
integrity.
But
what's annoying
me is his
attitude.
Snap out of it !
Title credit goes to my aunt lol...

Just for fun !
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
The  blazing sun,
The radiance of her skin.
So enchanting,
And bewitching.

A vampire so ghastly told another vampire.
What a seldom act,
Falling for a mortal.

I've seen plenty,
But not one like him.
His pointy teeth and red eyes.
Anyways continuing his conversation.

Her body so gentle,
So soft,
And ripe.
Ima eat her alive.

Quickly erasing that thought,
He said no.
I'll marry her,
And turn her immortal.

The second vampire looked disgusted.
Then he began,
Ima call the volturi.
They'll come and fix your brain !
I'm going crazy :p
Please ignore lol

Dark side
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
The long winter nights,
Crying and repenting on my sins.
Everyone has a dark side,
But mine is so dark that I feel hopeless.
As I sit back on my chair,
Scratching the bottom of my seat.
Ouch !
I accidentally slit my finger.
I feel the blood trail along the contours of my hand,
But as motionless as I sit I don't care.
My thoughts seem to fly in the midst of this day,
But then again I guess it's just me.

Infatuation
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
One, two, three......
and so on,
I've been eating chocolates since the rise of dawn.
This new series has messed up my routine,
I spend all day in my room hardly seen.
My parents remind me that I need to change,
But me? I'm out of range.
Mommy, daddy I need a break,
It's summer so let me do what I want to do for heaven's sake !

Red
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Red
Mysteries ?
Yes, mysteries unsolved.
Have you ever experienced such a phenomena ?
Last night I went to an elegant ball,
I chatted with a dozen women in the corner of the hall,
Never have I seen something so ravishing as her,
Raven hair hanging loose,
A woman in red dress.
Her alluring gaze,
That just swept my feet of the floor.
I walked to where she was,
Shoving the crowd aside,
I arrive at my destination,
And she's gone !
Where could she have been ?

Forever Blood
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
After spending days away from her,
Thinking I could resist her,
But now it's just her blood,
My throat aches for her blood !
Just a quinch of her blood and I can relax.
Her white skin,
Her hazel eyes,
And that scent !
Oh not the scent you're thinking about.
Her body odor.
It just drives me crazy.
I feel constrictions in my vein,
Making me wanna wail,
C'mon my love just a little of that blood,
I swear it'll finish the thirst !
Love vampires :')

Exorcism
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
The evil demon that
possessed
the poor girl
now
had to be removed.

It had not only
captured her soul
But,
also started feeding on it.

The demon started
controlling her mind.
Making her
**** !

A
professional exorcist was
called to terminate this
demon
And wipe away all
pain and catastrophe.

I deserve privacy.

The arrival
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Unexpected jeopardy,
It has alarmed people,
Leaving insecurity widespread.
News reporters going crazy with interviews,
Headlines being overviewed,
AN ALIEN HAS LANDED ON EARTH !
The SWAT team is on their feet,
Investigations and talkshows at their peak.
People have been ordered to stay indoors.
The arrival has only caused chaos !
Bored so wrote this.

The black widow
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Raging Terror,
Like Hansel and Gretel,
Scaring Everyone to death.

Awakening Beastly within,
He's Lurking behind the closet.
Trusting Anonymity, why ?
Don't Confide the unknown,
She'll Kill for her own.

I've Warned you already, my love,
She'll Insist on feeding you junk,
Her Devlish ways,
So Obstinate,
It Will lead to death; so quickly step away !

Calamity
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Now
that we're
talking about
calamity,
Let's
talk about
war !

The
raging conflicts,
And crazy politics.
They have left nations
disrupted.

Killing innocent children,
Taking
away so much.
Leaving scars  behind,
But
no feelings.
Just
heartless !

What has been
done?
To bring about such
malicious forms.

Disputes over
territories,
Disagreements over
contracts,
Does it all matter ?

What is it
with people ?
People have
lost control.

Slaughtering people;
As if,
nothing matters.
Perceiving blood
in pools.
Nasty !

We have got to stop !
And minimize
terror and bloodshed.
So that people can
live their lives in
tranquility....
The world needs to change....

Destiny
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
'Follow your dream.'
Said a man.
I said,' I have many but I don't have a chance.'
He chuckled.
'Whats written in your fate you will get. But atleast make an effort and do your best.'
I nodded.
'You're destined to do great. Just take a step ahead.'
I smiled.
With that he left.
He was right.
Everyone has a chance.
From that day  onwards I never looked back.
Prosper to achieve your goals.

Us
Exhilarated,
Astonished,
Amazed,
I gasp as i see you.

You beam a smile at my direction,
Lubb Dubb,
My heart beats fast.
You make your way towards me.

'May I have this dance with you?'
I nodd, confused what to say.
We waltz in the hall.
I can feel eyes boring at me.

Envy and jealous people surround us.
Girls give me ***** looks,
And boys mumble things under their breath.
I'm delighted we look the best !

Stupid me
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
I think of love as paradise,
But you on the other hand are a parasite,
You take advantage of me,
And I on the other hand give you a chance,
You now know my weaknesses,
So you use them against me.
You blackmail me,
And I let you.
I'm so trustful,
That's what my  bestfriend says,
I trust people so easily,
And get used and heartbroken in the end.

Him
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Him
My life.....
Sigh !
'What about it ?'
He asked.

I hesitantly opened my mouth.
Couldn't say a word,
So shut it again.
'What about it?'

I finally said, 'I don't know.'
He narrowed his gaze on me.
'I want to know !', he ordered.
All I saw was his eyes.

So grey.
So, so,
Full of concern,
And love for me.

I  began.
'My life is complete because of you.'
He smiled at me.
I blushed  and quickly looked away.

He took my hand in his.
And said,
'You are my life, my everything.'
Those we're the only words I longed to hear.

Then the day after that,
It all shattered.
He left me heart broken,
And guilty.

How I regret my doings,
I wish I had a time machine,
So I could go back and undo things,
To start a new life !

Stupid Crush
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
My blue skinny jeans,
And creamy white shirt.
I got ready to go on a road trip.
Just as I sat in my car I applied my mascara
And drove away.

As the car stopped near my college,
I took a last glimpse of whether I looked presentable or not.
Well I did !

I was a little tense.
Then there came MISS-OH-SHES-SO-PERFECT.
She was in a red dress.
I mean are we going on a trip or to a ball ?

But that is the only thing that worried me,
Now she'll be the center of attention.
My crush won't even know I EXIST !!!!

My best friend
reminded me I look the best,
And that my crush would certainly see me.

I felt a little confident,
But in the end she got my crush.
And me ?
I'm only left alone,
Singing 'Lonely I'm Mr lonely.'

From that day onwards I  NEVER had a crush !
True story !!!! Not the plot though just a twist in this story but yea, my crush got away :(

My poem !
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Fool or no fool,
It's my pen and my paper.
I write what I like,
I write about my desires.
What is it to you?
Aug 2015 · 366
Think about it !
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
I had a dream,
That I met a guy.
He was as lively as a bird,
And as funny as a lie.
(Don't know why I wrote lie :/ never mind :p)

We conversed about ”Life”,
He said, ” Life isn't about money. It's about eliminating a sense of pride. Giving and taking, respecting, eradicating discrimination and ,caring about others needs.”
No doubt his speech was so right.
And quite wise.

Then he began,
”Before this era, we lived in peace and harmony. People cared about others needs. They helped the poor and spread word of equality.”
With a long pause he said,
” Now all you see is ego and pride. Human race is no less than the animal race. We treat others like savages and feel superior to others. The poor don't get any attention.”

He was right it's true.
I added,
”Malnutrition is widespread and so is killing innocent children. Though there are people who help and realize the pain of others.”
He smiled.
” Yes dear there are people. But does it matter that only 30% of the people who die helping the rest 70% don't.”

” People always change. Once you get money in a large quantity you have no time for others than just showing off. You forget who's Allah. You forget who has given you all this.”
He continued.
” We should set our priorities. Our first priority is give in the name of God. Our second is to feed the poor. Our third is to help our relatives in need. And last is to use up the little we have for our family.”
I was about to say something.

Suddenly I woke up with a jolt.
What a strange dream.
But it was so true.

Trip to Naran
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
The rowing boats,
The cold weather and people in coats,
Snow capped mountains,
And glaciers settled.

Huge meadows,
Breezy weather,
Green grass,
And dancing  dandelions.

Beautiful scenery,
Rivulets and streams,
Cold water,
And dipped feet.

My trip to Naran was astounding,
Rafting in wild streams,
Eating trout fish,
Pakistan is amazing.
Naran is beautiful !
