Haiku *4
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
That feeling trapped-
Deep in the core of my heart,
I feel it arise.

Goosebumps are felt,
Down my spine and up my back,
Trail marks behind.

Leaving me in shock,
My heart beat being stopped,
My eyes can't halt.

What is it about you ?
That makes it so uneasy,
And so hard to cease.
Love at first sight maybe.

Because I'm bored.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
I have seen the stars twinkle,
The rainbow colors,
But one thing I haven't seen is me and you in a rainy weather.

Enthralls my eyes
Your smile
So divine
Lightens my mood.

Vindictive
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
The delicacy of the situation,
At its epitome,
Could not but vexate me.

The vague and cloudy memories,
Set aside all the tragedy,
You came back like a lightning bolt struck.

Vandalizing everything to a degree,
Discrete were we,
And our lives in peace.

But then,
You came along,
Dragging misery.

My eyes were shut before,
Now I see the true you,
I thank God I had fled away.

Perhaps it is fate that brought you here,
But now I will not accept you anyways,
Because now I believe I'm destined for greatness.

Mistakes
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
Devastated,
Distressed,
Is what I am?

His coversations,
And lies,
Well I don't mean to pry.

Hesitation,
And calmness,
It's given me a reason to live.

Diversions,
And misguides,
It has led me in regret.

Deceiver
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
Who are you said I,
Shallow smile,
And cold eyes locked on me,
He began,
I'm no other than the evictor of sanity.
I take away peoples happiness,
And exchange them with tragedy.
Why would you do that ?
Is it not to you of any importance,
That tragedy leads to misery,
It shatters peoples memories,
He proudly said,
Why would it mean anything to me,
When people fall an easy prey to my ways.
Don't fall a prey to people who speak words to impress and torture you. They will take away your happiness quite easily.

Please come back !
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
The cold breezes of November,
The dark and lonely nights of December,
Days had cut in ones desire,
Now there are snow capped mountains of January,
These months passing by so fast,
And you my honey haven't come by,
You had gone last September,
Promising your return,
From that day on wards,
I waited for your arrival,
The raging war and conflicts,
They have lengthened your stay,
For as long as I can remember,
Now I just can't wait.
Please come back,
The war will take you away from me,
Remember the promise that you made,
You'll be back in one piece,
Let that be,
Vandalism all over country,
All over the news can be seen,
People in uniforms running to save our country,
But I am too selfish to let you go,
I don't care about the rest,
Just the misery that struck me,
Of losing you,
And how it would be !
A confession of a wife to her husband.

Work and work (tanka)

Taking away precious time.

A random poem
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
I made a pledge last year,
Now I condole you on my behalf,
For I have shunned every word you said.

I was ignorant of you,
But now that you have gone,
I see the odds of the situation.

I feel a pang of guilt,
For banishing your entry,
To set foot in my Temple.

It is I who personally send my regards,
For I have now learned of your worth,
My hunger for money has fled.

I see my self in repentance,
Of not having to see you,
Please forgive me for I have failed you.
A poem of guilt and pain. From an unknown to seek forgiveness from his/her long lost companion.

Makkah
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
Spacious and resplendent,
Summoning people only once,
Words replete with beauty,
The voice of the imam like music to our ears,

Performing Hajj,
People from faraway,
Come to pray,
In the house of God for seeking His light,

Forgiveness and prayer on their tongues,
Regret and guilt shedding from their eyes,
Quarrels and worries aside,
Not caring about colour and creed,

My eyes seek only forgiveness,
And guidance,
For making things right,
O God please forgive me !

War
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
War
Serene voice,
Enthralling personalities,
Qualities one can seek in such audacious men,
Fervent and keen.

Melancholy though can shatter all hope,
Feeling vain,
At times of catastrophe,
All heroic fades in remorse and devastation.

The enraging war,
Has brutally slaughtered millions,
Injured as well,
One can't visualize things that easy.

There's no peace after war,
Blood and human flesh all around,
White coffins and teary eyes,
Death is just a call from God.

The real test is the after life,
Where no one can neither lie nor judge,
Oh please God stop these enemies from slaying our families,
Please let there be tranquility.

Dignity fades-
Changes are yet to assemble,
Because you are still the same.

Discretion in its way,
Still stands to prevail,
Completely off track and totally astray.

My words seem to create no sense,
Imprudence can be seen in it,
Although they're foolish but, not too dense.

Vandalizing all what I thought,
I continue writing in a flow,
Nothing can intrude my thoughts.

Love of nature
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
The blowing of the wind,
The rustling of the leaves,
The blooming flowers,
And the heightened trees,
The blazing sun,
And the radiance of the fruits,
Flying bugs,
And tiny feet,
The journey of a bee,
From its hive and crossing the sea,
Animals in the wilderness,
Free to do as they please,
The flying dandelion,
Circling in the air,
Under the tree,
I lie,
Lost in my thoughts.
How beautiful is nature,
And the mind of our Creator,
Who so artistically,
Created and gave life to these beings.

Blasphemy
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
Belligerence,
Loathsome remarks,
Abhorrent attitude,
Sacrilege behavior,
Profaning sacred places,
Hatred in their eyes,
Excavating a hole in hearts of innocent souls,
Mentoring these people to leave religion,
Y**es this all happened back then.
An Islamic religious story from the past when it was very hard to keep up with religion.

Famine
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
People dying everywhere,
No food,
No water,
No shelter,
No clothing.
Others unaware,
Leaders
Don't care.
All help centers,
Don't appear,
At times of
despair,
Deaths over here,
Deaths over there,
What to do?
What to do?
Help these people
Fight this,
So they can live to see,
Their children read and eat,
Educate and get what they need,
To give their children a life that they could never see.
The world needs to change.

Atrocious
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
His wicked look,
And barbaric ways,
Has left me nothing but in dismay.
Don't know what much to say,
Because he has dragged a nation to decay !
A wicked ruler, a king.
Just a poem.
our leaders are mostly adrocious and merciless.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
Consideration has led me nowhere,
As I trusted him blindly,

Caught deep in his spell,
Refusing to think wisely,

My heart full of love and desire,
Now broken in pieces,

I hope that it recovers,
And the pain finally ceases.
My best friend helped me in this....
Our first poem together :')

Illusions
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
In the alley I stood,
Lurking behind a pillar,
Leaning to see if someone would
come.
Unknown people passed by,
Smoking cigarettes,
Illuminating lights,
On the corner I waited for that one person,
Navigating his whereabouts through a GPS,
S**adly he had already passed  by.

Gravity
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
I've been neglecting you ever since,
Trying to tell myself that you and I don't belong together,
You're so eager and keen,
You try to come and sweep my feet off the ground,
Trying to dazzle me with your sparkly eyes,
Don't know what's pulling me towards you,
Perhaps it gravity,
But I am trying hard not to fill the space between us.
You know what they say,
Gravity pulls a body towards its center,
And now I think you're my center,
Pulling me towards you,
Whilst I try to keep distant.

Pool of tears
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
She cried for hours,
On an accident that she recently met,
Devastation and tragedy distressed her,
Her eyes got swollen,
Making it hard for her to see,
Her throat constricted,
With an irregular breathing rate,
Her heart broke,
Bleeding within her body,
A scar on her heart,
It was left unwounded.
Her tears caused a pool of tears,
In which she herself drowned in despair.

Trance
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
I lost pieces of you,
I lost your love,
Your bright smile,
That sparkle in your eyes,
But way beneath the core of my heart,
I know the traces of these pieces are within your soul,
Lurking behind your ego,
That pride and hate in your eyes,
The greed for money and many more,
You aren't going anywhere with it.
One day you'll wake up and remember,
Who you really are,
And who I was,
But by that time I'll be gone,
And its gonna be too late,
Realization will leave you nowhere,
But alone and guilty.
Killing inside? Great I'm happy !!!!

The last letter
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
The water thrusts my body away,
As I walk towards the gushing sea,
The tides start rising,
I can see the sunset,
Beneath my feet I feel an object,
Something that I had been waiting for,
Coming everyday to the beach just for this object,
I pick up the object,
Cleaning all the mud from it,
Finally I received the message bottle.
The last letter that my love sent to me,
I remember feeling tears,
I was so excited,
I ran home and wrote a response,
For days I waited,
Then I found out he had died.
The tragedy started pouring out of my eyes,
How beautiful were the rhythm of his words,
They would make my pen dance in response.

Red hood
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
Deep in the woods,
There lived a mysterious girl,
Everyday at 1pm she would come to the forest in a red hood,
And sing songs,
Her melodious voice would ****** in my head,
One day I decided to talk to her,
The moment I set foot in the forest,
It started fogging,
This went on for days,
I would decide to go check up on her,
And it would fog.
Strange,
I was done with this weather,
So I left in the fog,
There she was singing,
I put my hand on her shoulder,
And she vanished,
Leaving behind only her hood.

Because I love you !
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
Tonight the light will flicker,
I will see a charismatic sparkle in your eyes,
The sparkle that no one else can see,
I'll draw you closer to me,
I'll brush a lock of hair away from your face,
The moon that shines on your body,
It will glitter all over.
I wanna hold you tight against me,
And never let you go,
Because baby, you are so dear to me !!!!
I'm trying to write a song....

Spiritual
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
O God,
The most beneficent and merciful,
Heal my scars,
Erase all my pain,
And clean my heart,
I may have sinned,
But I now feel it,
As it gets me abyss,
I feel my soul being ruptured from the inside,
I feel the wrongs i've done,
Its so excruciating,
My body seems to paralyze,
The moment I fall on my knees,
Asking for forgiveness.
I have sinned and gone astray,
From the charismatic path that leads to you,
The devil that now feeds on my soul,
It needs to go away,
As I am no more allowing it to prey on my soul.
This evil wipes all the sanity,
Leaving behind only tragedy,
Forgive me O lord,
For I have failed you,
Not once, not twice,
Many times !
I now see a light of hope,
That falls on me,
Awakening the right inside me,
O God make me one of your disciples,
Forgive everybit of what i've done,
So that I live in peace and eternity,
In the life that i've yet to see !

Sweat is dripping down,
Trailing down my body,
The dirt that i have, coming off,
My body is bruised all over,
Feeling numbness on my joints,
I kneel down on my feet to clean up the mess i made,
As i neatly level the sand, i leave,
I feel happy and at ease,
Now that I'm done with this,
I think I can sleep in peace,
May my crushes soul rest in peace !

Yayeeeee
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
At 6'o clock,
The clock strucks hard after completing its tick tock,
I pick up the remote,
Surfing the TV,
My eyes fixated,
My surroundings seem to fade,
And my head absorbed.
Suddenly the phone rings,
On answering the phone I faint,
I'm going to a marriage,
Where my crush is going to host.
Because I'm happy !!!!

The killer
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
The raging flame,
That leaves behind havoc,
The deceased have all the prayers from us,
People that expired were a lot,
The forest summoned the firefighters,
Asking them to help the people in need.
The flames could be diminished,
But the gas cylinder caused destruction,
So many bodies,
So many coffins,
So many people crying for justice.
This was not but an accident,
An evil man was behind this,
It was a game,
To make these innocent people pay !
Just a poem i wrote. Its not a true story, just a scenario of a situation that you face daily.

Not called,

Scent
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
He died ages ago,
She was depressed,
Waiting for her body to be taken away,
He left behind only memories,
Every night she sleeps in his bed,
She can smell his scent in his pillow,
The clothes she wears,
All bear his scent,
He may have left nothing but vague memories,
But his scent diminishes his absence.

Tragedy
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
My hands are tied,
At the back of the chair,
Locked around my arms is a rope,
As I try to break free,
The roop cuts my wrists,
Blood that falls on the floor,
Makes me wince,
I carefully withdraw a knife,
Which was already in my pocket,
I take it out and I find out,
It was a butter knife.

And the  best piece of art I could ever draw.

To this new and strange man,
In his home she lives with nothing but abyss.

Bride (A grooms thought)
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
The church bells chime,
Suddenly the door flew open,
There came my gorgeous bride,
In an embroided white dress,
A veil on her face,
Red lipstick on,
She walks down the aisle,
Her father gives me her hand and leaves,
The reverand speaks a few verses,
But when we share our vows,
I was so stocked and there was so much I could've said,
But I had to stop myself.
I thank God that you came in my life,
You are my angel,
That sparkled my life.
I'm not married people... Its just a poem :p

Asking her will you marry me,
She accepts my proposal,
And honestly from that day onwards,
I sleep in peace.
