Patience my child

Arfah Afaqi Zia Apr 2016

Patience my child

Now as I've grown up,
I remember my childhood,
I recall so many times and events when I would fall in tears,
Losing hope and shattered beyond repair,
My mom would hug me,
And I would complain,
She would wipe my tears,
And say, 'Patience my child',

These words ever since that day have never gone astray,
Now that I feel sad,
I cry a couple of times,
Yes, I may also go on long walks alone,
I would lock myself up,
But then again it would hit me hard in the brain,
I hear my moms voice say, 'Patience my child',
These words have ever since brought a change.

Lose not your hold over your emotions, but also sway with the crowd and merge in as they roll.

Happyyyyy

Arfah Afaqi Zia Apr 2016

Happyyyyy

Stars collide,
Meteors crash,
Planets revolve,
The galaxy swirls in circular motion,

Just like that,
My heart swipes left and right,
Trying to ease and calm a bit,
But how can I be so patient ?

They ask me why,
I say he's the reason why,
The sparkle in my eyes and smile on my face,
It's all because he's rather near.

I feel paralyzed

Arfah Afaqi Zia Apr 2016

I feel paralyzed

Oh my fragile heart
I feel paralyzed in this demise,

With the blink of an eye
Waves and tides rise
Eroding the soil
The island's with canopies
Sink in the depth,

Just like that
My eyes pour tears
Moisturizing my dark circles
That now seem grooved
Pain and despair drowns me as each tear leaves the eye,

Oh my fragile heart
I feel paralyzed in this demise.

Change

Arfah Afaqi Zia Apr 2016

Change

Shimmering sparkles stream down my cheek,
Negating patience within my soul,
My heart weeps in pain,

My brain encounters changes,
Baffled am I,
Totally unknown to this paradox I now experience,

Horrified of the gallantry,
That my heart once pursued,
Notorious had I become,

Insanity drives me in its depth,
Like an oceanic wave it carries me away,
To its center I reside and see progressions and changes in haste.

Me, myself and I

Arfah Afaqi Zia Apr 2016

Me, myself and I

Percepting and interpreting my life goals,
My vandalized and shattered hopes,
Destructed and broken in a millionth piece,
Collecting sorrow from here and there,
The dark and horrendous nightmares that I embrace,
I'm oh so scared,
Acknowledging pain yet dissolving abhor,
All part of fear,
Skeptical images cloud my mind,
But I blow them away,
Believing my life is more than just hate and judgment,
It is believing in myself,
I am my foremost goal,
No one can pressurize me,
Reveling my whereabouts and where I stand,
I am my hero,
My own enemy,
And my own judge,
No one can be me !

I am the architect of my own destruction.

A philosophy inspired poem hope you enjoy :)

My heart sinks in abyss,
My lungs stiffen,
And my brain stops,
Delirious is my soul,

Unshaken memories,
Pained and mortifying me,
My life ruined,
But as i seek, i pursue peace,

Such a deep hole,
Dripping blood from this drenched soul,
Cold as ice and hot as a stove,
Trying to mend this scar to heal as soon as he comes home.

My heart conversed with you
in ways that I can't speak
my mouth dry
but words so replete
flowing swiftly
sharp smile escapes
because talking to thee
i feel at ease,

My eyes go deep
in search for peace
in your company
i feel protected
my stress lines smoothen
and eyes soften
as our eyes meet
it's like the world stopped for a second,

It's you
i tell myself
the reason and solution
of this mood
my soul lightens
we are like two enthralling
eye gaping lovers
like angels we spread our wings and journey through this universe together.

Joy

Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2016

Joy

You're my joy,
You're my life,
Oh baby you're my sugar and spice,
The reason behind this smile,
The blush that creeps right below my eyes,
That glistening touch of water,
These tears can't stop flowing,
They are tears of happiness,
Oh dear you're my possession,
My pride,
Everything about you is perfect,
Because you make each day so happy,
Guess I'll be spending an eternity with you.

A bit childish I know :p

In memory of the Lahore attack.

Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2016

In memory of the Lahore attack.

Those who are deceased,
Leave this world in peace,
Well some at least,

Tears of abhor shed down the eyes of the families,
For those terrorists who come in vengeance,
I wonder for what?

Wouldn't it be great if only there was tranquility worldwide,
Or in fact leaders who mobilize attacks against these savages,
I pity our lives and souls of those who don't cry,

How hard can it be to realize,
That taking away lives is so low,
Please God ! Help these people deviate from wrong to right.

I stand against terrorism.

Home sweet home

Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2016

Home sweet home

There's no place such as home,
The comfort and privacy in your room,
The ease in your bed,
The peace in not sharing,
So convenient to go without waiting,
In your own washroom.

lol i have gone crazy but seriously, nothing like home and your own washroom :)

Hopeful

Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2016

Hopeful

We're so far off,
Seems to me like we're seven sea's away,
Half way the globe but we still stay,
And hope we do forever,
Entangled in eachother's arms.

Oh Mom !

Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2016

Oh Mom !

In sickness and health,
I seek refuge and comfort from you,
Oh mom !
Innumerable times have I disrespected you,
But whenever I am down I always come to you,

I may look around in despair,
In search of help,
But where to go I think to myself,
Without you I feel torn,
I have no one there to assist me,

Oh mom !
I maybe old,
But not enough to walk through this war-zone,
It's your hand that leads me to success,
How can i be so blind?

That one night,
In my room I lay in the dark,
Alone I tried to fight my fear,
Mom, you were away,
And I was so scared,

That one time I remember,
In school I fell,
I sprained my leg,
I bled a lot and cried for someone to help,
But no one really payed attention,

Everyday as I grow mature,
I see you old and frail,
Your stress lines and wrinkles seem to appear,
Your face so pale,
But till today you're there to mentor me and guide the way.

Life is like a rose. Once all the petals shed, you lose your life or even more, when the rose isn't taken care of it will die of thirst which in our world is referred to as sickness and then ultimately, death !

Sunlight

Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2016

Sunlight

The non-stop tampering of the glow,
The Sunday moon drops in expiration,
Illuminating the sky with it's beauty,
Sparks rejuvenate,
The white light dies in spreading red hot rays by the sun,
The powerful and absorbent radiations,
Enveloping each and every soul in its blanket,
Lustrous enchant,
Creeks through the curtains,
Awakening me from my slumber.

Mar 2016 · 289

Love

Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2016

Love

Minute by minute I fall in love,
Limiting myself,
And restricting my heart for only you,
Your love at extreme diffuses my soul,
The ash n flame of our relationship enrages,
As time passes the candles of my past-
Which were once bright,
Die,
My past now lucid and dark doesn't haunt me,
Because by your side I feel more alive,
The enchant and charisma in our love strengthens our bond.

Mar 2016 · 374

Faulty society

Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2016

Faulty society

My heart frail and doltish,
Misled me in my own destruction,
My life traumatized and shackled,
Its like I'm paralyzed,

The tragic sentiments i receive from people,
The forced smile that creeps on my face,
This is so hard to take in,
Why ask and then torment when you know already that its not okay?

Mar 2016 · 687

Mistake

Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2016

Mistake

I consider oblivion,
I contemplate my way down memory lane,
I trigger in more information about you,
But what I cannot bear is the devil inside you,

Your inner conscience,
Your words that pierce through my heart,
What is it about your ego?
Do you know how much I've been scarred?

Your intentions keep surprising me,
Convulsions elude my brain,
I make attempts to fathom our conversations,
Such delirium increments,

Vandalized heart,
Aggravated soul,
I have been incurred to err a lot,
But you are so far the worst mistake I have ever made.

A Tree

Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2016

A Tree

The shady yet withered leaves-
conquer the space underneath,
protecting what seems to be a patch of grass,
but intended for animals or people indeed,
the fruitful trees-
stand tall with fruits on each branch,
a pair of squirrels adapt within this very tree,
old are its roots that travel beneath,
***** it is-
standing as a blessing for humanity to see,
the birds that live on it,
chirp melodies of blessings to God-
who has showered such perfection.

Sorries

Constant apologies,
Drenched soul,
Blood flows,
Please stop this ridicule,
And just leave me alone.

Crave

Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2016

Crave

Framed antique,
Exquisitely decorated,
Gentle caress from one ear lobe to another,
Magic in mine words,
Trembling lips speak in a flow,
Mine woeful queen,

Your eyes glisten,
Your skin pales,
Your arm scarred,
Bruised are your legs,
Through posterity are you remembered,
Is that all you say?

Nay honey,
Your milky white skin,
Red ****** lips,
And curves arouse mine heart to flutter,
Thou shalt cry and wail,
But mine love will never fail,

Infinite bits merge,
A cluster of clouds thunder,
Down falls the rain in such grace,
Thine silhouette dances past me,
Mine blood rushes through mine veins swiftly,
Such divinity in one soul,

This creature,
A heavenly monster,
Haunts me in mine dreams and addicts me in mine sleep,
Alluring me senselessly,
A very high dose of that twitch lifting from the corner of your lips,
I feel on top of the world wanting so bad to see this artistry,

Finally viewing such grandeur,
Oh mine fair maiden !
The glory of thine beauty paralyzes me,
My body surrenders in your warmth,
Stranded together,
My flesh radiates intimacy.

A Shakespeare inspired poem.

Abyss

Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2016

Abyss

Irony shuts down the heart,
sequestered-
wanting to stay alone for days,
shattered hopes,
broken dreams,
what more is left to say?

Meditation

Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2016

Meditation

Meditating my way to Nirvana,
I exult in desire,
My needs fufilled,
And tranquillity comes along as willed,

Wishing away tyranny,
Atrocious leaders that ****,
Should try meditation,
Until their soul reincarnates.

I will refute your thoughts,
Shun every word you say,
And break all the rules,
Because we both know I'm already astray,

I get caught up in my wistfulness,
But that's all because I'm mortified of what people will say,
My sanity loosens it's hold around me,
These once unbreakable chains now set free,

Two ends that may never meet,
This is more than just an affair,
It's a story of love and hate,
Lust and escape,

Innumerable times have i said i love you,
Countless times you've said the same,
But now I feel as if it was all in vain,
The flame we ignited burned everything in its way and left us with nothing but pain.

Last stanza collaborated with my bae, Sana <3

A jolt I feel ravel up my body,
My droopy eyes shut in tire.

Not fair

Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2016

Not fair

My virtues and my sins have drowned me in their depth,
The remorse that sweeps past my nerve,
I have been pulled into a world of judgmental freaks,

I have been restricted,
Putting barriers and blocks on my limitations,
Such a forbidden world,

Pleasing family,
Pleasing society,
Why? I'm not a puppet, or am I?

The things you have to face,
The never ending comments you have to bear,
Not an ideal situation if I must say,

The fear of reviving,
The uncertainty of doing,
Not fair at all !

A tribute to all the mothers !

Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2016

A tribute to all the mothers !

Slowly she fell down on her knees viewing such charm,
The adorn in his rosy red cheeks,
As the sun blazes on his face,
His angelic face,
And a perfect twitch on the corners of his lips,

Those lively gleaming eyes,
The small crackle of cry that escapes his baby pink lips,
The softness of his skin,
The beauty in his features,
And the addicting smell of his flesh,

She breaks into a stream of tears,
She was blessed with such grace,
The journey of her motherhood begins,
She envelopes him gently,
Stroking the bumps on his glowing cheeks,

She never was before gifted with such a heavenly creature,
Those 9 months of holding him in her womb,
The pain she felt,
Such pleasure and worth in this experience,
She sits back after kneeling and thanks God.

You're doing an amazing job <3

Segments of my heart,
Segregation of my soul,
Deprived of love,
My past, oh so cold,

The darkness in my spirit,
Black dots and holes,
Covering the edges,
Dosed by cigarette,

Roughness and constriction,
Devastated and delirious,
Progression no more,
Poignancy affirmed,

Tackling with the challenges,
Tyranny and atrocity,
Spreads in the city,
Gold diggers and muggers on the street,

Under flyers the poor sleep,
The walking dead everywhere seen,
Beggars and thieves,
Murders scare me,

It's not just me,
Its the whole earthians,
Male or female,
You will all feel the pain, indeed.

Beauties of the world

Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2016

Beauties of the world

The dusty storms of the Sahara,
The Egyptian Pharaoh,
The beautiful pyramids and the precious jewels of Cleopatra,

The deep blue sea,
The rare coral reefs,
An exotic bloom and a swarm of fish,

The marvelous Taj Mahal,
The resplendent minars,
Moonlight irradiates the charm of the building,

The enthralling and engaging Kaaba,
The charismatic surrounding and the soothing sounds of Salah,
Such a heavenly feeling.

The sun

Arfah Afaqi Zia Feb 2016

The sun

The sun shines bright,
Ultraviolet rays shooting in the distance,
Covering up the little area,
The electronic emissions miles away,

The sun circulates around the earth,
Completing each voyage,
And with every light year,
The intensity at which the sun rises and falls from east to west submerges with a swipe shift,

The harsh and penetrating light,
Dissolves within my skin rushing with such escalation in my veins,
The beam of each electron on my skin,
Some reflect, some absorb.

Random.

Nature love

Arfah Afaqi Zia Feb 2016

Nature love

Leaves defoliate from their edges,
Withered leaves rustle in a musical movement,
My attention averts as I see this hustle bustle around me,
Oh how lovely is nature,
Grasping your attention,
Captivating the iris and addicting the pupil,
Such beautiful shapes and colors,
Some in dark, some in light
Light creeps in illuminating the gaps,
Revealing the patterns,
And stealing away many smiles,
Look what nature can do with you.

A murder story

Arfah Afaqi Zia Feb 2016

A ****** story

The aroma in the air,
The pungent smell of sulfuric acid,
Dripping down the table,
My hands shake in abhor and fear,

I lean down to check,
There lies your body restless,
In this anxiety and sweat trailing down my back,
I feel pleasure,

This ****** was forceful,
Our once flourished love story,
It has now ended in demise,
Your lifeless body reincarnates my soul,

I slowly trace my fingers on your body,
"We were once so good to be true,
But now you are no more",
I say, as I close your eye lids.

Aging

Arfah Afaqi Zia Feb 2016

Aging

My days as a teenager are over,
All the hypocrisy and immaturity has to go,

These few months that I'm spending,
Soon will be gone,
My silly, insane conversations,
My childish pleadings,
All will soon become pointless,

My days as a teenager are over,
All the hypocrisy and immaturity has to go,

I have to grow up,
That's what i get to hear,
I have to explore more and learn more,
This is what my heart says,
What else is there left to say?

But my days as a teenager are over,
All the hypocrisy and immaturity has to go.

Isolation

Arfah Afaqi Zia Feb 2016

Isolation

The sleepless nights,
The isolation that dwells upon my soul,
The shallow and emptiness in my heart,
The pain I am in,
The tears that stream down my eyes,
Why don't you see the hurt in my broken smile,
My insides are crushing and pulling me in their depths,
This is unfair,
I really deserve my rights,
My mouth speaks against with such intensity,
But somehow can't address what I want to say,
I'm cursed with such cruelty,
I will avenge my fate and get what I want.

Because i know you're the one

Arfah Afaqi Zia Feb 2016

Because i know you're the one

How attainable have my dreams been;
I thought with such fervor,
Procuring your love has always been my hope,

Now that I have you,
I feel like my life goals are complete,
Just your company that has me heaped and showered,

My infatuation that i thought i had,
But it's more than just an obsession,
I'll devour to encase our love exquisitely,

I love a lot, indeed
But believe me when i say i love you,
I know you're the one,

The others who may have come,
Swept past my conscience leaving me appalled,
At that time, I may be blind but i knew they were not the holdbacks or keepers I intend to stay with.

The wind still blows

Arfah Afaqi Zia Feb 2016

The wind still blows

[Intro]

Destruction and shackled remains,
Ashen souls blowing here and there,
Swirling winds from the Middle East,
Storms of hurt carried in each grain of sand,
The wind still blows it's aggression !

[Verse]

Entrusted with your heart,
Full of tragic and traumatizing
pain,
Loss and terror forms on the corners of my eyes,
Shedding devastation and hopelessness,
Weak chains fail to protect,
Your anonymity to sane,
Quiescent after the experience,
Demise changes you,
But a broken heart kills you,
Smothering you internally and externally,
Constricting the veins in your heart,
Blood that once flowed evenly
now flows unevenly,
**** !
I need to stop thinking so much about abyss.

[Chorus]

Destruction and shackled remains,
Ashen souls blowing here and there,
Swirling winds from the Middle East,
Storms of hurt carried in each grain of sand,
The wind still blows it's aggression !

[Verse]

Agonizing mishaps,
Assumed abhor,
Eliminate the thought,
It's just a step to succeed,
Don't back down,
But no !
Stop, say's my heart,
My brain ceases,
Glass breaks,
Cutting deep through my wounds,
My scars not healing,
My truth revealed,
Aghast to a rate of proximity,
My conscience,
Though liberating the chains of my heart,
Silhouettes of anguish dancing in my head,
Hallelujah happiness !

[Outro]

Destruction and shackled remains,
Ashen souls blowing here and there,
Swirling winds from the Middle East,
Storms of hurt carried in each grain of sand,
The wind still blows it's aggression !

You have always been my first and last intention,
The way you first set your eyes on me,
Oh so memorable was that day !

Our first conversations ended in such regret,
You were leaving and I was way too late to confess,
But we both strengthened that connection from falling apart,

The way you talk to me,
You make the whole situation feel wrong in so many ways,
You escalate my heart beat and comfort me,

I feel my heart burning,
I can feel our love yearning and progressing,
With every breath and word you utter I know I feel at home.

Happy Valentines day !

Arfah Afaqi Zia Feb 2016

Happy Valentines day !

You're quite far from me,
My heart calls for thee,
Through the rustling leaves and the wind blowing,
I send you my love,

The particles of love,
Carried across the meadows,
In search of you,
Soon it'll find you and you'll feel the warmth of my hug,

I love you a lot,
Not only on this day,
You're something special to me,
That I'll savor for the rest of my life.

Finally found you !

Arfah Afaqi Zia Feb 2016

Finally found you !

My heart once frail,
And used,
Tied in chains of hopelessness and ambiguity,
Found what it was looking for,
It was you all this time,
The one I never tried to connect it with,
Deep cuts covering on this slender
and deranged soul,
My eyes beady with tears once,
Shedding,
Now cease at the corners as I try to let them flow,
I guess its just you,
But now I'm sure.

A secret plea

Arfah Afaqi Zia Feb 2016

A secret plea

I argue with my misconceptions and urges
that dwell inside me,
Trying to ease the need and my craving for thee,
As my love and affection for you
that now blazes inside of me,
Telling my tyrant soul that has been lurking behind and offshore,
To cease the height of enmity and the negligence
of procuring his love,
His compassionate, pulchritudinous self pulls me towards him,
Making me ignore the promises I have made
and the love and assumed heartbreak that I think I can't bear,
It's the brain actually that tends to cease,
My heart, funny and silly is actually looking for that
untold and secretive love that you and I are soon going to share.

For my crush

Arfah Afaqi Zia Feb 2016

For my crush

The sparkle on your face,
Your pulchritudinous, melting eyes
dissolve me in their depth,
Your smile resplendent
alluring me wholly,
My eyes glisten with every tear that you shed,
Because for me you're a dime,
An enchanting, enthralling persona you have,
Habitual am I
drowning in the deepness of your love,
Though, unexpected and untold,
I still love you.

Missing you

Arfah Afaqi Zia Jan 2016

Missing you

The passing days,
The dark and lonesome events,
Alone in your memories i have died internally,
Trying to put back the pieces that are far gone,
Far from reach,
The aching sights that I see,
The voices of you in my head,
Now only flashbacks,
Why oh why did you leave?
One year gone and many more to see,
To bear the days in your absence,
And cry a pool of tears,
But still you won't come back,
I understand.
