Night time
Arfah Afaqi Zia Dec 2015
As the sun drowns,
Afar the sea and betwixt the mountain,
It vanishes,

Everywhere a shadow takes over,
Spreading its blanket in the distance,
Only the moon lits,

It's strengthened light guides the way,
Helps during the dark,
Motivates hope and encourages those hiding,

It washes away the scars,
Heals the heart,
And revives the soul,

It's the only time of the hour,
Where you can be yourself,
And not hide away from the rest,

Those who are dragged into a dark place,
Brighten up,
And their spirit sparks inside,

The only time when I feel confident,
I don't get judged,
And without someones consent I can do as I feel.

Just memories
Arfah Afaqi Zia Nov 2015
Memories,
Sigh,
Memories will always be just memories,

I remember the time you held my hand,
The time you pulled me close,
And I remember getting hung over,

Your I love you's,
So addicting,
Were a drug to me,

What potion was I given,
That once spell on me still hasn't broken,
It has enclosed memories of you in my heart,

The warmth of your hug,
The way your arms tightened around me,
Magic was in my veins,

It was me wholly entrapped in your love,
It made me happy,
It made me smile,

You made me lose myself,
Most importantly,
My shadow mysteriously vanished replacing you,

Your touch,
Like electricity made me shudder,
These were all symptoms of me falling in love,

But that's that,
They were just memories,
Now they reside incomplete and unsparked in my scarred and used heart.

Feeling hour
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
I feel annoyed,
All my parents ever do is complain,
Complain about this,
Complain about that.
I have no life !
I feel hopeless and shattered.
I'm not a kid anymore,
I deserve privacy.
What to do ?

Superficial
Arfah Afaqi Zia Apr 2017
It was flawed
Less love, more physical,
It was naught but infatuation
It was superficial,
Discreet yet magical
Phenomenal at times but still lustful,
Feigned feelings, dark soul,
It was naught but infatuation
It was superficial.
The world is filled with liars and cheats.

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 ?

Headache (Haiku)

Can be cured by a pill,

My head hurts like hell GOD !!!!

You, me together
Arfah Afaqi Zia Dec 2015
Joyous and blissful I feel in your arms,
Your enriching words,
And your breath taking self,
Envelope me in their warmth,
Letting not others hurt me,
Protecting me as you're my guardian,
My angel sent from heaven,
In your company I reminisce our good times together,
226 · Nov 2015
Giving a chance
Arfah Afaqi Zia Nov 2015
My eyes closed,
I walk down the deep and unknown hole,
With our hands clasped,
Your kisses send shudders from my neck to my back,
Love is definitely blind,
My heart accepting you whom I once despised,
Your touch and your smile,
Oh so fine,
I'm somehow okay with what we have,
For now lets see what's next,
Because this very instance you're mine,
Wow I must be paralyzed to have said yes,
To someone not my type,
Okay fine, I'll just say one last time,
I am ready to try,
And to see what it feels like.

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.

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.

Weather
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2016
With darkness everywhere,
And blanket of clouds,
Rain pours down slowly,
Seemingly destructing, rather enhancing the weather,
Droplets of water rest on petals,
Washing soil and settling the weather.
224 · Sep 2015
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....

Confessions of a reader
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Scanning my book from page to page,
I feel a sense of sorrow and rage,
Emotions flooding up,
In one hand a book and in the other a cup,
Turning the thin white sheets,
Reading from word to word,
Absorbing the beauty and the rhythm expressed,
Though tense and distressed,
Putting yourself into the script,
Visualizing as if you're it,
Focusing and concentrating so hard,
Forgetting where you are,
Surrounding may be ambiguous,
But the feeling is marvelous,
That's how I feel when I read,
Try to adopt this habit as it's a good deed....

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.
220 · Jan 2016
I wanna die
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jan 2016
Mentally broken,
Physically tired I am,
Done with bearing peoples ****,
Done being treated like a kid,
Please call me to you,
Oh God !
I cannot bear their presence even a bit,
I feel the urge to slit my wrist,
Or either hang myself to a fan.

Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
First I used to get scolded
on using the net,
Now I go through
HP feeds,
Still the same
response,
**** it y'all
I got a blog.
I need to compose and
write,
And post it all.
I have no time to
read,
Or knit and weave,
I'm too busy writing
my heart out,
This is where i get
to share my
thoughts,
Why doesn't anyone get
what i want ?
Writing gives me peace,
So please at the moment don't disturb
me !
Seriously....
I get sent to learn how to sew,
And stuff i don't want to do,
I want to write,
And compose music

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.

Ignorance
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jan 2016
I cling towards you,
Says my infatuation,
I sheepishly smile towards you,
Says my brain,
Unconsciously my heart starts racing with the sight of you,
Says my heart,
My love forever that I cherish,
Will defeat anyone that hurts you,
My deviant soul,
My searching eyes,
All flee towards you,
But it is you my love,
Who doesn't love me.
218 · May 2016
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.

Underground-
Smoked rings
And ashes of cigarette envelope the room,

Desolated-
And taking a puff
The inhalant sounds of a smoker surround,

Vacant room-
Talking to the demons
Under a faded light as soundless music plays,

Unconscious -
Champagne glasses collide
Wine and alcohol bottles cover the floor,

Heart broken-
Shattered was he from the inside
A break up was it, apparently.

Love in one night
Arfah Afaqi Zia Dec 2015
Handsome faces,
Masquerade *****,
Masked here, masked there,
Champagne glasses raised,
Hoots and songs,
Sittin on the corner an unknown,
Black masked,
Memorizing his surrounding,
Hands gracefully piled across that broad chest,
Beaming a smile,
Thrashing the scars in her heart,
As she walks to him,
With the clock ticking 12 a.m,
She places a key and leaves,
In her room,
He enters with warmth,
There she stands under the moonlight,
Her body arousing,
Like ashen bodies they collide,
With each ****** she exclaims in pleasure,
Her legs locked,
Her fingers in his hair,
She compels him,
When done,
They lie together hand in hand,
Kissing in such intimacy,
As if one of them may leave,
In his ear she whispers,
Baby, please don't go,
But she knows that a one night stand can never stay,
Never will it be considered love.

Untitled
Arfah Afaqi Zia Nov 2015
My ashen self,
Blazes in radiance giving a finishing to my soul,
Abundant with all essentials,
Restoring with every ****** in the spacious hole yet to fill,
The ghastly shadows lurking behind this personality,
Different colors,
Agonizing and sore,
The erupting heat,
Indeed will soon heal,
But the mended scars,
Will deepen and show,
The dark, rough texture,
The blood running through my arteries,
Suffocation and cold,
I think a lot of blood was lost a while ago,
Having to bear all heart break,
I think a drip may help,
Restore not only my old self,
But also my bleeding wound.

An
ocean away,
You
come to say,
That

In
many ways,
The

The

And
rosy red lips,
You
say you
yearn for my love,
Every
single second of the day.

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.

Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
People only approach you once they want something in return, after that they ignore you.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Nov 2015
When I'm hurt,
I cry,

When I'm happy,
I fly,

When I'm lonely,
I hide,

When I'm helpless,
I despise,

When I'm angry,
I hate,

All these emotions,
Build up a humans way of life,

Some may cry, some may whine,
Some try suicide, some make up lies,

Some console, some feel,
Some love, some deceive,

People differ in many aspects,
Through pain I led my life,

But theres not one day that I say,
I'm lucky to have had such pain,

I'm lucky to go through rejection,
I'm lucky to see people and feel them,

This taught me so much,
And helped me mature myself.

Goner
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Words unspoken,
Lips sealed,
Heart beats fast.

As he comes close the world stopped for a second,
Felt like  heaven ,
Spaces filled,
All the pain and distance faded.

Blood stoped flowing could it be?
Not sure until he hugged,

Love and compassion filled,
That was it !

It felt like the earth was shaking,
Like we were standing under the spotlight,
Yes it was love,

It felt like we were floating,
How beautiful it felt,
Until,
It all shattered.

Heart perplexed,
Eyes filled with tears,
Nothing was the same.

He was gone,
Gone like the wind.
All their left were memories,
Memories of the one who got away !
People always leave !

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.

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.

Seriously nothing !
Arfah Afaqi Zia Nov 2015
Every touch that I feel on my body,
My skin gets bruised with each touch,
Marks and imprints of your fingers,
Your touch sends daggers in my heart,
Elevates the rhythmic beats,
Makes me love you more,
I think I'm falling in love,
The reason why I whine a lot,
But this is all just a dream,
In reality I feel nothing.

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.

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.

The one
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
As she walks down the memory lane she feels like she is neglected,
Repenting on her previous sins and feeling the pain,
It rushes in her veins like lightning bolt struck on her heart,
She feels lonely and knows she can never get her scars healed,
She feels empty and mortified by society,
But how tell everyone the nights she spent without him,
Trying to move on and filling the spaces in her heart,
She'd feel her body go numb the second she'd think of him,
Shedding tears of sorrow and rage that she had kept to herself,
How tell people how much she had to go through,
No one knew or understood her,
Instead of complaining she kept it to herself,
The moments she had spent waiting for him to come back,
She would plead for him to come back,
Even though she knew it was impossible, still she went on,
Those endless nights,
Crying and yearning for his love,
Wanting more from him,
But he just left without a reason knowing the pain that would afflict her,
She felt hurt and miserable,
Her friends would say she is crazy,
She herself knew she was stupid going after something that she could never have,
She now knew how insensitive love is,
So rather than craving for more she avoids getting caught up in this wistfulness,
She moves on getting over her grudges and learning a lesson out of it,
Standing up on her feet and not caring about others,
For the first time she feels alive,
She feels humane and beautiful inside,
Even though she can never forget what she had,
Knowing how exquisite it was for her,
She will forever treasure her memories.....

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
