Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
A new life has yet to begin
The sweet melodious serenades of our togetherness
The never ending and non vacant space between us

It has been a year now
Deprived and dissolved are my feelings for you
No compassion and no spark
Only lonesome tragic nights

The day I said yes
We make our journey hand in hand
To forever land if that even exists

I knew we both are so apart
The distance between us so vast
And there was no such place as forever land
I made a mistake that I'd never intend to make

You promise me all the happiness
You put life in my hands
And say you love me and I believe you*

I regret your very existence
I hate myself for confiding in you
You pulled me in devastation
And now I'm left alone collecting pieces of my heart or shards even.
The italic writings are the past and then the normal font for present.

An army of two
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
We stand shoulder to shoulder
Hand in hand we explore
An army of two,

Flamboyantly we thrash walls of deceit
And thrive for one another
Because each and every little aspect counts,

Regardless of people talking
We still stand as a team
An army of two.

Natures swoon
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
The sumptuous
smell of the trees
that stand tall touching almost
the skyline,

The seducing smell of the flowers
drawing me close
in their warm scenty embrace
making me long for more,

Rain sprinkles down
softly with Celeste
touching my skin
trickling down my body,

Such attraction
and so scenic are the mountains
along the sky's border they shape into peaks
some with trees and some snow peaked,

Nature calls to me
through its windy sounds it rustles it's leaves
confabulating with me
through cracking sounds and shedding of leaves, it summons me.

Murder and Terror restored-
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
Shrouded bodies enveloped,
With stains, lifeless they lay in peace,

                                   Tears shed in vain,
                                   No humanity, no soul,

Screaming people dragged-
Within this circle of death and slaughter,

        Pain and remorseful families,
        Wail in pain, awaiting termination of terror

Blood of innocence,
Drains in catastrophic pool and trails

            Cold hearts and atrocities leavin' corpses,
            Exiling the countries citizens,

Wiping away masses,
In hundreds and more.

A mothers journey(Bonding)
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
Silent touch
Sensual kisses
Rosy cheeks and sparkling eyes,

A mother sees only
perfection
Exquisiteness'
And beauty in her daughters life,

Her dainty fingers
Pretty dresses
And scenty hair like floral desire,

Her smile so fragile
So bright
Only leaves a mother mesmerized,

She starts walking
On her feet she runs
A mothers eyes travels around,

When she grows old
She may seem distant
But this doesn't take away all her love,

She grows majestic
Like a princess she moves out
Happily married and calms a mothers heart,

Till the day she lives
A mother has yet to see anything so divine than her daughter
That every time she sees her happy she spills tears in delight,

Nearing death
On the death bed she forces a smile
Just so she doesn't see her daughter cry,

The relationship with her daughter
Short and hasty
Only leaves good memories behind.
There's always a different kind of love and closeness with a daughter. Although both children either boy or girl are treated alike. But in my views once a daughter leaves her nest and moves into another, a part of her is left behind as a memory. She gets to change her lifestyle and her routine changes. But a mother always misses her daughter.
Then there is gender discrimination still in some areas. People prefer boys over girls. Guess they never tasted the charm of having a daughter around. I pity them !
Daughters are like jewels. They're precious. So people love your daughters. Don't neglect your sons but don't discriminate and differ btw a boy and a girl.

Story of a poet
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
In sickness and health,
In sorrow and pain,
In vengeance,
In reminiscence,

A poet writes to repair,

When alone,
When hurt,
When stabbed,
In happiness or grief,

A poet writes to heal.

Connection
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
Spirituality sparks from within,
Love rejuvenates from depth,
Eyes drown and sink,
From beginning to end,
My heart yearns for you,
We connect through engaging eyes,

Your touch, Celeste and blazing,
Radiating and driving me crazy,
What is it about that touch?
It excites me so much,
My body experiences changes when you caress,
That touch so exulting that it leaves me wanting more.

My poetry
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
My poetic insights
Confabulate with my brain
Spilling words in a rhythm
A flow I write about my love,

My poetic conscience
Assimilates with my hand
Moving my pen hastily
In description I write about your touch,

My poetic gestures
Seen in my writing
My heart races as I write each word
With love and feeling I express and pour in my thirst for you.

As dew kisses good bye-
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
Sand dunes at the end of June,
A prolonging urge to hold your hand,
A quiet and pleasant moon
Though unaccompanied by you,
Your departure was non-existent,
Vague-
As dew kisses good bye

Knowing well,
That this storm may not end yet,
My heart sinks low,
As all my energy drains,
Emptying my veins,
Slowly and partially-
As dew kisses good bye

For the next many years,
I mourn in pain,
Exultant once-
I remember the feeling of love at first sight,
As winter engaged,
It would remain static but now terminates in the summers,
As dew kisses good bye

I whisper in the dark,
Remember my name, love?
I hear no voice,
Alone with a silhouette of myself-
I spill words on a piece of paper,
Writing hastily-
*As dew kisses good bye

It is you I want-
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
Slender holes riveting my heart,
Rapture words drown me in their depth,
It is you I want,
Not someone else,
I can leave everything just for you,
Because, it is you I want,

Your love is like water to me,
Without it I cannot survive,
It is you I want,
I look around me and see so many admirers,
They want to make me theirs,
But darling, it is you I want.

I fell in love with a devil
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
His eyes-
So deep, so powerful,
It causes a raging tempest,

His disastrous heart,
So enticing,
Piece by piece it enthralls me completely,

His voice,
So breathtaking,
It paralyzes me whenever he speaks,

His soul,
So dark, so evil,
Attracts me though hurts me,

Whenever I see him,
My heart skips a beat,
Because every time we speak he melts me internally.

Ode to my heart
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
I

Whenever I try to heal,
Oh heart ! Why do you always hurt me?
I close my eyes to cut off the concept of love,
But you still yearn for more,
Here and there I search to calm my emotions,
But you always plunge inside a pool of hurt,
You always want those who don't want me,
Why is it that you're doing this to me?
Oh heart ! Please stop this insanity.

II

Now I fall in love,
And you try to stop me,
Confuse me so much that it kills me,
You know that you're fragile,
When you know you cannot bear the pain,
Then why put yourself at stake?
When you're scarred,
You hurt not only me but also others,
How paradox are you?

Helpless now she lets her demons guide.

Scarred words
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
A soft whisper-y breeze,
A collateral hurricane,
When sanity swirls and swoops in haste,
Wind cuts in and takes my words away,
My words flow through the ocean and over the mountainous ranges,
And reaches you in the exact same state as I say,
Shaken voice and unsure words,
But delivered in utmost and utter-able ways,
Tides carry back your message to me,
A bird too, preferably
But those words so hurtful,
So painful,
That a part of me just died inside !

Broken wings
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
I feel like an isolated angel-
In this lonesome journey I take down the dark path,
My heart frail with words,
Scarred with hope and dripping blood of abyss,
Grooved in my flesh are the nails of sorrow,
I hammer in a dozen more to stop the pain,
Excruciatingly pleasing are the bruises down my nape,
Your cold and lustful touch,
Sharp and cutting in wounds deeper than my regret,
My sane desire and fluctuating mood for you,
My unconditional love screws in reminiscence,
Recalling over and over again your departed chasm-
Hollow and fragile without your side.

But still misled
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
Baffled and misled,
Heart broken still misled,
Discriminated but still misled,

Society has done nothing but distressed,
Judged you from beginning to end,
Shattered your ego and made you regret,

Loved and misled,
Helped still misled,
Supported but still misled,

Never did it occur once-
How poignant it must be for others to move on,
How hard it is to live but still feel dead,

Trust and misled,
Share still misled,
Protect but still misled.
This is society. This is how people are and how they roll. You are always misled and degraded.

Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
Eyes seek beauty and enchant in soul not a persons face.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
The belongingness in your eyes
the cherished blossoms and sunflowers
touch of caress
and blooming orchids
spread the meadows of love,

In tinted sun
intensity ablaze's sparks in my heart
like waves
crests and troughs form along
un-steadying my heart beat,

Scent of jasmines and tulips
disperse with the wind
your soul here somewhere
detects its whereabouts
and connects with my sixth sense,

Like tides
it rises
and carries away left over residue
cleanses the hate away
replacing only love.

Arfah Afaqi Zia May 2016
In this lucid world,
In this so called haven we assume,
Life throws in lots of challenges,
Some fair, some that seem so absurd,

We get carried away in this worldly fame,
Where only evil resides,
Souls that **** a millionth piece inside you,
And people so cunning that cut out your heart from inside you,

Scraped and withered from the edges,
Old and scarred from the surface,
Blood flows stale,
So painful that it hurts.

Oh Allah !
Arfah Afaqi Zia May 2016
Oh Allah !
In this coming, spiritual month of Ramadan-
I plead for forgiveness,
I ask from you to cleanse our souls,
Forgive us all,
For we have sinned,
We are frail by heart,
We are liars and judgmental,

Oh Allah !
My eyes shed tears for all of this human race,
All those who have passed away,
For people who are still here,
And for those who have lost their strength,
I pray for all these people,
For their forgiveness, for their health,
I ask for your help,

Oh Allah !
To you we all shall return,
We are your disciples Almighty Allah,
And I ask from you to lead us to the right path,
We are your creation,
We have erred and ask for forgiveness,
How guilty are we and how we've fallen in abyss,
Please listen to our prayers and let us taste the essence of a heavenly afterlife.

Satan
Arfah Afaqi Zia May 2016
Behind every shadow,
Lives a tyrant and a more atrocious soul,
Among-st us he resides,
And with words and care he entices,

To this mortal universe,
He has been sent by God,
As a manipulator and a mind controller,
Ready to belittle our faith and direct us away,

Somewhere from inside,
We know we've sinned,
We repent and fall on our knees for eternal bliss,
And pray for forgiveness and the extermination of our sins.
May God forgive us all. Aameen !

I try not to indulge-
Arfah Afaqi Zia May 2016
Knowing my remorseful memories haunt me,
Pain so excruciating pales me,
Silhouettes of my soul dance across me,
As i try to make each day special,
My faith reaches its epitome,
Mourning and fighting death,
I provoke myself to survive,
To keep from falling-
in this ocean of vain.

My demons
Arfah Afaqi Zia May 2016
How enticing were you, my dear,
How beautiful was our love,
Drowning in the river of despair,
Taking in might from everywhere,
I look into your glistened eyes,
'Brace yourself', I say as I walk away,

Before this I was the one who would say,
'Please don't go away',
And you would say,
'Love changes with time',
I would cry for you to stay,
But you would not even look back to stare,

My abhor for you rejuvenates,
My heart frail though my emotions fade,
You come back to me in realization that you'd made a mistake,
But i guess embracing our love will put my heart at stake,
Shaken by our long lost love,
I take down the path where my demons are caged and ready to escape.

Quote 26
Arfah Afaqi Zia May 2016
A true gentleman tells you what wrong you've done and doesn't do something against your will, rather than abusing you or manipulating you.
Arfah Afaqi Zia May 2016
A victim of deceit
a defiant lover
she cradle's her way back
as life moves on with such speed
like a bullet train it flashes past,

Vandalized to such expectancy
her heart experiences frailty
and faith shatters
always told to wait
she herself ruined her fate,

Men entered her life
and left, leaving behind pain
unbearable reminiscence
moving on with her woes
knowing well she err'd,

Poignant
she sheds tears in vain
a state she enters into
heart broken and worthless she feels
Though intended, she repeats her mistakes o'er and o'er again.
Sometimes knowing well you've experienced deceit and the outcomes that it would display, you keep repeating your mistakes in hope that not everyone's the same.

Beauty in the beholders eye
Arfah Afaqi Zia May 2016
Within the beholders eyes,
There's held a type of beauty,
In its own sense its flawed maybe for us,
But for him it is enthralling,

It's attributes and texture vague to us,
To him its perfect,

Within the beholders eyes,
There's held a type of beauty,
In its own sense its flawed maybe for us,
But for him it is enthralling,

Like an ornament he keeps it,
With jewels he decorates it,

Within the beholders eyes,
There's held a type of beauty,
In its own sense its flawed maybe for us,
But for him it is enthralling,

For us it seems ordinary,
But to him it holds prestige in ways he can't speak,

Within the beholders eyes,
There's held a type of beauty,
In its own sense its flawed maybe for us,
But for him it is enthralling,

He seems clueless how to describe its charm,
How it feels, he knows,

Within the beholders eyes,
There's held a type of beauty,
In its own sense its flawed maybe for us,
But for him it is enthralling,

To us, it is a paradox,
To him it matters the most,

Within the beholders eyes,
There's held a type of beauty,
In its own sense its flawed maybe for us,
But for him it is enthralling.

Hope
Arfah Afaqi Zia May 2016
Heart dysfunction's,
Blood flows avid,
Heart beats static,
No feelings,
No desires,
Obscure memories wake me up from my slumber,
My jolty heart feels pained,
Broken and deprived of love,
Longing for a soul,
I adhere all shunned bonds,
Collect all the pieces from my past,
And connect them together,
But the distance between these chains seem to increment,
I lose myself in this lonesome journey,
Pulling me down in remorse,
Fallen in abyss-
I stand strong,
Accepting all the challenges that are being thrown towards me,
My faith in God,
And the kind of oppression I receive from society,
Where people; that once mortified me,
Stand no chance,
Because now I know,
My strength and courage cannot disappoint me, ever.

Pakistan Army
Arfah Afaqi Zia May 2016
Men in khakis,
Men with armed weapons,
Sweep the countries boundary spreading peace,

Solid hearts,
And flourished souls,
Gallantry in every man shows,

Whether hot or cold,
Either its a blizzard or a storm,
These men stand strong on their feet ready for war,

Dissolving angst,
And taking in all worries as an obligation,
They perform their duties as saviors to the country,

With eyes they see cruelty,
With hearts they perceive pain,
But with valor they leap forward to exterminate.
Salute to our Soldiers !

Far from reach
Arfah Afaqi Zia May 2016
Drunken,
Laying under the magnificence of thee
Enchanted in your company
Searching the eternity-
My eyes scan beauty
Your raven black hair that fall on your face,
Your silken kisses
And soft touch
Trembles my body
Erupting arousals
My legs locked unable to move,
Electrifying each stroke
I feel at haven when encased in your love
I move in to touch you
And you vanish in a flash,
I open my eyes in tears
Knowing that it was just another mind game,
Dreams sadden me
As I lay on my bed alone-
Lost in my memory,
Feeling its exquisiteness.

Wrong turn
Arfah Afaqi Zia Apr 2016
Deceased and at stake is my love,
That once hope fades bits of my heart,
I feel invisible,
The cold and chills that I bear,
Angels illuminate the sky,
Lighten my path,
And fly me away with the wind
To motherland,
Where everywhere there is peace,
Under supervision of God you sleep,
Protected from all corners,
Though to me you're more than peace,
So I stay here just for you to seek me,
Many have said leave,
But I deny because I can't,
No memories,
Just voices stuck in my head,
They haunt me in my dreams,
Alone I sweep away from the crowd,
And cry,
Thinking why oh why have I such a bad fate,
Maybe its just not meant to be,
Dear its you who I think is meant for me,
But in real you're really not that into me.

Arfah Afaqi Zia Apr 2016
The aching pain in my ligaments,
The harsh deprivation my heart fears,
Uplifted by this bizarre weight I vent-
What is it that your heart says, my dear ?
Through your conscience you confabulate me,
Fuming love, celeste touch, lingered plea,
Withered and scraped from the deep blue sea,
Waves flow in haste rapidly and free,
Sanity strikes me hard digging in,
Silent echoes trail and haunt me freely,
Pulchritude disguise shows all my sin,
Clarity beyond replete seen mildly,
Recalcitrant yet powerful eases dive-
Plunging downward and gliding to thrive.

Selfish garden
Grows in haste
Flourished scars
Broken chains

Irresistible shroud

Fuming persona
Predictable hate
Destruct the bond

The rhythm at which my blood flows
Through my veins
It doesn't reach at halts
Commodious valves open
Giving way
With each droplet
Encased is my love
For he who doesn't care
I feel absurd and doltish in so many ways
Ever since the day you've casted a spell on me
My mind plays tricks
Uncontrollable urges dwell in my soul
Wanting more from you
But you just don't want it all
Ignoring all the love you's
And leaving me alone
What is it that I have done
For you to hate me so much
But then again
I don't have the gut to ask you this question
Because like the love you's I've wasted on you
You will ignore this question
And exterminate this query out of your brain.

Verse :-

The cloudy nights of December,
I write an ode on you,
But not a very good one,
Heart break,
Hungover,
I can't get over you,
The first time we met,
Boom!
Spark,
Is this how you treat me,
After all these years,
This solid, unbreakable friendship,
Guess that's what people do in the end.

Chorus :-

Revenge ?
No
Cuz that's what friends do,
Cry when one cries,
Die for the other half but not say why.

Verse :-

Deceived and hurt by your words,
Cutting deep through my skin,
Rupturing my veins,
Anger fumes that i break all connection,
Forbidding myself from anything connected to you,
You break this frienship for someone who will leave soon,
For that witch,
Vain,
no i can't feel this pain,
I'm cold and numb,
My heart may not converse and will cut you off completely,
but my brain will always regret our encounter.

Chorus :-

Revenge ?
No
Cuz that's what friends do,
Cry when one cries,
Die for the other half but not say why.

Love decay
Arfah Afaqi Zia Apr 2016
I gather words
From here and there
Merge them together
Dissolving hate

Love in its true form
Sparkles in the sky
Blooms with the rays of the sun
And resides in the soul

Your engaging power
So strong
Attracting me
And enchanting our love daily

Times change
Love remains not the same
In your heart I may have perished
But to me our love will never decay.

Eyes scan the world,
Looking from here to there,
Seeking compassion and peace,

As years pass,
Mourning aggravation leaves the lips,
Expressing intolerable souls,

Atrocious cities,
Vulgarities perceived,
This is what nowadays humanity see's,

****** eyes receive pain,
That stings the eyes,
And hurts faith,

**** and bloodshed everywhere,
Spreading across the globe in such haste,
Recalcitrant belief but true deeds,

Uncontrollable greed,
Poverty and inflation increased,
But no one pays a heed,

Homeless people sweep the city,
Notorious teenagers vandalize themselves,
Thinking less and doing more.
