Compass of love
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
If I ever lost my way,
I'd pull out my compass of love,
And navigate you right away,

The distance far, far away,
Afar this universe,
Beyond this horizon,

I'd still find you,
Walk miles in search of you,
Just to get near you,

If I ever lost my way,
I'd pull out my compass of love,
And navigate you right away,

My love for you is divine,
The moons strength or the downward pull of gravity,
Nothing is as strong and trending as my love and desire for you,

My compassion and caress,
It will wipe away all your excruciating and gruesome pain,
Forming only clouds and letting it rain,

If I ever lost my way,
I'd pull out my compass of love,
And navigate you right away.

Frustration
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
Frustration was killing me from the inside,
My organs rupturing,
Out of control I was,
Roped by my wrists confined in,
I was disguised to extreme,
Hiding me to stop,
Vexation arises,
Making me **** mice,
Mice which scurry away from me,
One, dead,
Two, dead,
Three-
fled,
What the heck !

The darkness
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
The ghastly shadow of the night,
Taking over me like a blanket,
Covering up my dark side,
Making it even darker than last night,
What is it about the dark?
Whenever i'm under this cover,
I feel lonesome and deprived,
The feelings of being single hit me bad,
Is this what it feels like?
To be lonely and broken from the inside,
Looking at people connect,
Their lives so blessed,
Mine, not so bright,
Getting darker by every night,
Now even the stars that spread the sky,
Make things seem so high to reach,
And dark to preach,
Is it just me lagging behind?
Or is there someone else left behind,
The loneliness scares me,
But the light of the sun merries me,
Now that again,
I write this poem as the suns gone,
I feel darker but strong,
As still there is life in me,
That's holding in that spirit,
That I now share with you,
As within the next two hours,
The sun will rise.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
A ride down memory lane,
Is needles and pain,
The anxiety and the suicidal acts,
It makes you want to attempt,
How I wonder,
I was so imprudent and absurd,
To even do such work,
Irresponsible and immature.
I really need to move on,
And start a new life,
One with tranquility and independence,
A dignified yet personified life,
In defiance of my act,
In leadership of my say,
And thoughts that may not go astary,
For I need to relish,
To ponder and work on myself,
To lead a good and non materialistic life.

My heart
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
My heart so fragile,
Bumpy on the edges,
And sharp from the sides,
Scars seem to cover its layer,
Making it rough and pale,
My acute and chronic heart beats synchronize in resonance,
Lubb-dubb, lubb-dubb, lubb-dubb.

The beauty of the sky
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
The sun dawns,
In variance of vibrant colors to the sky,
A mixture of colors merging together,
Like water colors in scheme,
Bright and sharp,
Giving an edge to it,
The scenic sun,
The red radiant sky,
Spreading it's rays throughout,
The beauty of the sky,
Such an enchanted sight.

Untitled
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
As I sit and sip a glass of wine,
I think about all the mistakes I've made,
Loving you is one of them,
Deprivation I felt when you left,
Destined were we for each other,
Rapturing was your soul,
Full of lustre and captivation,
Drawing me closer to yourself,
Where, vague to me was wtitten on your forehead, beware,
Zeus and poseidon weren't even that strong to set us part,
Metallurgy and chromatography were weaker than I thought,
Our lives together shone,
The radiance and heart amidst our relationship was at spark,
Why'd you go and vandalize what once we fought for?
I was mortified by society from that day on,
Promising to myself I'd never fall,
Destructing all chemistry to keep at halt,
Never have I moved on from that day on,
Never will I even ponder upon that thought.

Celeste
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
Carving deep grooves into my heart,
Embroidered with jewls as well as scars,
Lustrous you are for me,
Everything about you so lovely,
Serenading a tune,
Tempting you,
E**ternally and entirely loving you.

The wonders of the world.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
The intensity and the speed of light,
Strikes hard leaving a dark spot,
Every single wave of light,
Absorbing in my body and leaving marks on my skin,
Pushes me in wonder and hope,
How is it that everything in life is so connected ?

The sound of the sea's,
The rustling of leaves and whirling of wind,
The sound of thunder,
And drizzling of rain,
They all seem to be connected during monsoon.

The way we walk,
The way we reflex our muscles,
The way we lift our body up,
The twirling and twisting,
All in unison, referring to it in language of physics.

Change needed
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
A life they see,
Through their eyes,
Butterflies they see,
Fly in peace,

Their own lives not at peace,
Branded with whips,
Cut with knives,
Treated worse than animals,

Food so cold,
So raw,
Tasteless and sickening,
Have you ever dreamt of such a life?

Think about the other million,
Those who donot survive,
No food, no shelter, just pain,
Pray for the lot and bring about a change.

Love it is
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
An
ocean away,
You
come to say,
That
you love me,
In
many ways,
The
aroma of my
perfume,
The
Celeste touch
of my skin,
My
raven hair,
And
rosy red lips,
You
say you
yearn for my love,
Every
single second of the day.

What words can do.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
Surreptitious remarks,
Cold eyes,
Brutal mind,
Sharp cruel words,
Slit opening my heart,
Tearing apart in two halves,
Cutting deep into my core,
Words struck hard in ones soul,
Disrupting and putting fire,
Crumpling up hope,
Self confidence shattered,
Agony within,
Forgetful past,
But never ending words,
Flowing through my mind,
Hurting my persona.
Oct 2015 · 193
Waves
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
The angry waves,
Gushing high and low tides, consistent,
The rising of every wave,
Taking away everything near its bay.
The immovable bodies being wiped away,
The roaring water,
Though sparkly,
Such a beautiful sight,
But deathly and dangerous.

Rejuvenate
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
The smoke from the *** erupts,
Making it hard to breath,
Rather causing suffocation,

That's how I feel,
When I'm faraway from you,
Yearning for you to come near,

My body aches,
When I'm not near you,
Enveloped in a tight hug,

My heart feels spaced out,
Not allowing to be let in,
As you banished me,

Lets now forget the past,
And move on,
Remembering only the good times we spent together.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
I confabulate with thee,
Your words cut me so deep,
Leaving scars beneath the holes piercing in my heart,

Your voice so unreachable,
I try to connect with you,
But the feelings of complete and utter love, far gone.

Uncontrollable urges dwelling inside me,
My mouth so dry, out of words,
Trying to communicate in terms of getting thee,

Tranquility far from being found,
Loneliness scares me,
Your presence though, takes my breath away and calms me down,

My weak heart,
Wilts without you,
Defoliating internally and breaking me,

My nervous system,
Secreting enzymes from the pituitary gland,
Enzymes of hopelessness and heart break,

It feels like an ocean without water,
Incomplete and dry,
Waiting to fulfill that thirst of love,

A day without you,
Feels like an era passed,
Changing my surrounding and you on the way,

Devastated I am,
Deprived of that charismatic love we once shared,
Now bond-less, like oxygen being separated from hydrogen,

With ever drop of blood that falls,
Draining all my veins and arteries,
I can swear, I will always love you till the day my heart stops beating.
Oct 2015 · 241
Distance
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
A 100 miles,
A 1000 miles,

Nothing matters to me,
Unless we're talking about you,

A city away,
A country away,

Distances may increase,
But my heart and love for you may never cease,

An ocean apart,
A continent apart,

My feelings of loneliness and deprivation long gone,
They may always fulfill with the memory of you,

A planet away,
Within the stars,

The light or ray of hope I see,
I see myself believe its your heart that calls me,

Beyond the Galaxy,
Betwixt the universe,

A lot may change in my life,
But one thing I an honestly say is, we may never depart.

She vs he
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
I stand there alone,
In defiance of his act,
Weeping and crying of what I had,
Not sure how to end it all,

He stood there,
Pride and prejudiced within,
Trying to show off all he had,
Conceited and cliche he was.

I tried my best to keep away,
Following my heart,
Not being ridiculed in his idiocy,
Like the time I had once been in my past,

He pressurized in getting his way,
Ignoring the rest,
With his atrocious ways,
How sane.
Men will always be men.

Helpless
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
Standing farthest away,
Listening and synchronizing with every echo I hear,
The exalted valley,
And scattered masses,
Mosses and ferns,
Roses along the gulf,
Dandelions amidst the horizon,
Flying away,
The voyage of the cloud,
And the journey of a wave,
As deep and shallow like a lightning ray,
The radiance of a flower,
The incandescent light,
The proximity of time,
The speed of sound,
The piercing heat,
Beyond this world,
In the universe you may see,
Afar the moon and the planets,
Diffused in might,
Ignition of fire,
The sharp blue and yellow color,
Wandering in the field,
Surrounding me,
Here I stand beneath a tree,
Breathing the smoky air,
Perhaps suffocating,
Without a soul to save me

A mixture of emotions,
Aggravation and melancholy,
Audacity no more to cease,
Tendency replete,
Serenity is a chance,
To quiten and rid of frustration,
Inferiority within,
Damaged souls,
Celeste bodies,
If procured,
Prime indeed.

Scar
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
Delusions have evaded my soul,
My scarred body so demented and err,
Numbness and bruises all over,
Feels like needles being poked,
Cold and piercing pain,
Anguish in height of repair,
My heart so baffled,
So perplex,
No feelings just heart break.

Confess atleast
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
Was I that bad?
Not worthy for thee.

What is it that I have done?
That makes you hate me,

Your words cut me deep,
Tripping over myself,

My heart aching,
Every inch of my body throbs,

The places you touched,
Incomplete without you.

Forever love
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
Four years have passed,
Changing seasons,
Falling leaves,

I remember that September,
That smile on my face,
When we both met,

I have never forgotten you ever since,
Your deep grey eyes,
Your perfect smile,

Our on going  conversations,
And never ending fights,
They were exquisite to me,

Then one day you left,
Shattering all my love and peace,
You were gone, just like that.

I cried my heart out,
But you never came back,
You see, you were everything to me.

One day you reconnected with me in hope of again,
Though it did not make me love thee,
For I lost the love and respect that I once had,

Regretting now what I had done,
I want you back,
Oh dear, please come back.

Calm my forgiving heart,
And we shall never depart,
Till death do us part.

Summon for God
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
Summon for God,
Wipe away all ***** thoughts,

Ask for help,
Ask only from God,

Summon for God,
Wipe away all ***** thoughts,

When you're hurt and negligent,
Think about God,

Summon for God,
Wipe away all ***** thoughts,

Vandalize your pride,
Praise Him, Almighty God,

Summon for God,
Wipe away all ***** thoughts,

Vague memories,
But peace from God, indeed.

Summon for God,
Wipe away all ***** thoughts,

Let the heart loosen its tangles,
Making your life easier than muddled,

Summon for God,
Wipe away all ***** thoughts,

Let not Satan capture you,
Flee away before it's too late,

Summon for God,
Wipe away all ***** thoughts.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
Pessimism has led him nowhere in life,
Rather than succeeding in life, he finds himself stuck in demise,
Feelings of deprivation have not but shattered his pride,
Sheltering on his flaunts, he is far more distinct than delight,
Vandalism of his thoughts wipe away a lot but suffice,
Atrocious eyes replenish all his sight,
Darkness before his eyes, leading to suffocation, consequently paralyzed,
Rigid hold and strengthened heart just hold on tight,
Imprudence never lies in soul but lurks behind the night,
As daylight conquers the spacious roon making everything so ever bright,
That rage and devastation which once at its epitome and height,
Disappears fading slowly and gradually in white,
Memories a paradox, growing vexation, if I'm right,
Proceeds to grasp hold on with all might,
As again the sun sets, changing your true form alight,
Revenge can evade the divinity of a knight,
Bringing venganence and enmity in a catastrophic fight,
Obstinate expressions, recalcitrant furry full of fright,
So much to normalize and then fortunately enlight.

For me I mean.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
A slight feeling,
Rare it is,
For me I mean,
To envy and resent,
To forbid others entry,
It is the love and possession,
That my heart pleads me,
Not let others enter my eternity,
A paradox it is,
For me I mean.

Captivating smile,
Engrossing all my attention,

I had no such intentions,
As to pursue him,

But it was that smile,
Entrancing and sensual,

His words so replete,
They make me gullible,

Your precious and enchanting presence,
Important to me.

Bye
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
Bye
I bid him adieu,
Leaving him on the stairs,
He called after me to stop,
But I kept moving away from sight,
Now no one could change my mind,
For I have changed my likes,
Once he neglects,
Then comes by,
Thinking everything was alright,
This is no game,
It's now a reason for me to hate,
You and your presence disgust me,
So please shove away !

Terrorism Today
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
Trails of blood,
Enclosed containers,
Riots on the street,
Resonating slowly in different cities and countries,
Overt terror,
Rapidly spreading,
Igniting flames on buses and buildings,
Scarring hearts of people,
Massacres in huge numbers.

Terminating innocence and replacing them with ****** flesh,
Orating words so full of pride and hate,
Daggers and guns being used mercilessly,
Assaulting the peace treaty,
Y**et they seem to be happy.
End war and spread peace, please. A humble request !

The coming of winter
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
Autumn ends,
Leaves start falling,
Defoliated,
Scattered on the ground,
Different shades of yellow and green,
The colors so vibrant,
Fruits almost ripe,
And trees not so shady,
Time flies by and then come winters.

The lonely dark nights,
The cold winter breeze,
And swirling of the wind,
Afar the fields and meadow I see only fog,
In this black misty weather,
Droplets rise from the dew grass,
In the farthest range I see only shadows,
Shadow of trees,
The incandescent light in the street dimly illuminated,
Strolling down the path,
I try to keep from stumbling,
A path so vague,
Without a torch I see no survival,
The foxes come and wipe the quietness,
The sound of grasshoppers synchronized,
Winter is coming, to be precise.

Replenish
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
Its great indeed
forgetting and suppressing bad memories,
Shutting all your thoughts,
Regardless of what you got,
Don't you care
at all
about change,
Taking pieces from your path
can help you
when you are pained,
Distractions and feelings,
Let them astray,
Think once about change,
Think about the connection,
Don't break the connection,
Be productive and show an optimistic
output,
Restore what little fled,
Try to ponder on each and every aspect,
Whether you like it or hate it,
Just don't regret,
Ignore the rest and make your wrongs
into right.
Is it not suffice?
Let it Reside in your heart,
And wipe Enmity that's scarred,
Be not Pessimistic,
Let it Lure you,
Just now Erase all the pain,
And Never mind your past,
For once It will give you peace,
Just wait and See,
It will cool down the Heat.

A great friend
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
Integrity and sincerity indeed,
His words fathom to me,
Helping when in need,
Solving un-dealt and recalcitrant situations,
Though obstinate but doltish to me,
Challenging and dueling,
Sarcasm can also be seen,
But beneath all this,
A merciful and loving heart,
Giving and advisory,
Sharing sorrow and rage,
But understanding me,
I feel oh so blessed,
To be indulged with such friendship,
Based on forever,
That's what I foresee.

Skin ( Haiku 5)
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
Your radiant color-
Your flawless skin as white pearl,
Glitters under moonlight.

The light that falls-
Your exotic and ravishing skin,
Creamy, soft and edgy.

You leave deep marks-
On my body that pain a lot,
Bruises and scars.

The soft little bumps-
Trailing down your define jawline,
Make me flinch, shudder.

The touch I yearn-
Give me it all I say, love,
Give me all you got.

Through my eyes
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
Celeste smile,
Eyes flickering with delight,

You come to me,
With a chance to see,

To see the world through my way,
Beaming from my eye is a ray,

A ray of hope thats hits,
Strucking everything else to bits,

Developing an interest,
You have on me blind trust,

Because you know I'll never deceive,
Even if pain to me is received,

Let your heart beat,
Connecting with each and every heat,

The heat that arises,
Thinking only with humor because you're wise,

Celeste smile,
Eyes flickering with delight.

The heart
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
My heart elevated once,
Synchronizing with your heart beat,
Enveloped and engraved in the fullest,
With each beat my heart would race,
Indeed.

Once the gushing emotions reached their peak,
You left me on the verge to decease,
Shattered mentally and emotionally,
Like an ashen or crumpled piece,
Never mind thee.

You're gone
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
I write songs,
In remembrance of how long,
You and I could end up together,
They say fate is like weather,
As the climate  changes,
I can see nothing in my range,
Your presence may disappear,
Erasing images which once were so clear,
In the distance I stand,
In a foggy night,
I await,
For you but I guess it's pretty late.

The left and right motion of a pendulum,
Can not be easy to cease,
They say time moves on,
Without any obstacles that dawn,
Arising conflicts,
Over here and over there,
Time still goes on,
Leaves fall on the ground,
But time no matter what, counts,
Wounds and scars may come to thee,
But time still goes on.

Touch
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
Hallucinating my thoughts,
It was like Deja Vu,
When I felt your hand slip around my shoulder,
Closing the distance between us,
Your hand that now entwines my fingers,
Is doodling and fidgeting with my hand,
Your eyes that look at the moon,
Now shine bright on me,
You lay one hand over me,
The hair on my back,
Stand as goosebumps retreat,
What is it about that touch?
That takes the life out of me.

Beyond this horizon,
Across the valleys,
I come to thee
In search of peace and prosperity,
Atop the moon,
And the galaxy,
There resides nothing
But lonely stars,
Moving in voyage
As scattered apart.
The milky way,
So dark,
Whirls in circles
Like scar.

Pained heart (haiku)

Excruciating -
The pain I feel is deadly,
Extracting the joy.

I did not but err,
However, enticing your smile,
You only frustrate me,

Let there be no me,
In my heart I banish thee,
Engaged gallantry.
Don't know what I wrote :p

Saying goodbye to thee,
Far away from reach,
I feel at ease.

Not that I'm happy,
You're ludicrous,
I'm just impervious to it.

You see what I mean,
Fathom indeed,
Unless I'm wrong.

Uncertainty beneath these sheets,
Tell me anyone,
You've only vandalized me.
