My drug, my addiction
Arfah Afaqi Zia Dec 2015
A sweet
Mellifluous,
Pained
Yet
Melodious tune,
Your voice in every pitch,
Either
High
Or
Low,
Confabulates with me
In ways
That even you may not see,
Or even,
Feel,
The loving
Gestures,
The soft
Consistency in your voice,
Your lullabies,
My oh my !
They envelope me in your love,
Cast a shadow on me,
And please me,
Fervently.

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.

Measurement? No!
Arfah Afaqi Zia Dec 2015
A dozen of kisses,
An ounce or more hugs,
A pinch of caress,
And three heaped cups of love,
There's more to just measurements.

Cold yet loveable
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2016
Tired of justifying,
Tired of satisfying,

How denying can you be?
How cruel and viscous can you be?

I never asked for too much,
All I said was believe me,

But you don't care about me,
All you care about is what society thinks,

I've been trying too hard,
I've made efforts for you to smile and appreciate me,

But you're so cold hearted,
You're so patronizing in front of people,

You try to push me away,
I still try my best to stay rigid and love you till the end.

I feel paralyzed
Arfah Afaqi Zia Apr 2016
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.

It was-
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jan 2017
It was him
It was the honesty in his eyes
The integrity and beauty of his heart-
That could mend my oh so broken heart
Fill up my scars and calm my troubled soul,

It was the way that he smiled at me
The way that he would say 'i love you'
It was the power in these words-
That could mend my oh so broken heart
Fill up my scars and calm my troubled soul,

It was his sincerity
His showered love for me
And his affection for me-
That could mend my oh so broken heart
Fill up my scars and calm my troubled soul.

The orphan girl
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2016
Smoking loops-
Under the moonlight she lay,
Gazing at the stars-
That shined so ever bright,

She felt lonely and pained,
Not because of love,
But because of 16 years of ongoing deprivation,
She had no one to confide in,

A friend would've been nice,
Family would've been better,
But it was just her-
And that stupid orphanage,

She had to cope with her fears,
Had to live with idiots,
People trying to harm her in ways,
Or even people who would judge her,

She tried innumerable times to commit suicide,
But there was no point,
What was she getting anyways,
No one to even shed a tear as they'd take her body away.

Life moves on in haste.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Dec 2016
Life moves on in haste,
Fathom and untold to us,
Beguiled by lovers,
Tranquil by serenity,
What life holds is a void,
Untouched and hollow that needs to be filled,
By happiness and joy,
By greetings and foy,
Life is filled with secrets,
Jewels and tales of yesterday,
Some of passion, some of regret
We grow up listening to all of this,
Learning from these and also experiencing,
As life moves on in haste.

Impact of words
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2017
Pain over rules all
Regretful of my past, present and future
What is it with life?
People talk about ups and downs
Reminiscing your scars only aches
No sign of healing nor strength
Once so equiped with words
So sure of what to say,
Of what to write
Now, no more
It is not only actions but the impact of words
How you get pulled into abyss
How you're forced into isolation
Words are what matter
They compel you to think
They take you to places and touch your soul
Either poignantly or intimately
It is the impact of words
The harsh and crudeness in them
The hurtful things that you hear
They can take away all of you!

little do they know
Arfah Afaqi Zia Nov 2016
I get threatened to be killed,
But little do they know I'm already dead from the inside,

They say they'll hurt me,
But little do they know I'm already scarred,

They want to break me apart,
But little do they know I'm already broken,

Melting and haunted from within,
My demons lurk and escape out when I'm alone,

They say they will imprison me,
Little do they know that I'm already chained in despair,

They say they will make me regret,
Little do they know the remorseful memories I have to bear with,

They say they will sadden me,
Little do they know I'm already in a state of abyss and terror.

Death of soul
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2017
I marked my heart
with scars and blemishes
some of today and some of tomorrow
Oh how time flies
once I was a dreamer
now hopelessly dead,

I had the strength to seek
the power to interpret and analyze things
the willingness to feel the pain and sorrow of others
but now all that fades away
once blessed to feel emotions
now cursed- emotionless,

Deceit and heartbreak
decayed all that was around
heart once so loving and soft
perished everything one by one
changing not perceptions
but also me on the way.
It is blessing to feel and a curse not to.

Blindly in love.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jan 2016
My heart fears the bewitching terror
that you have solely enveloped me in,
The strange feelings of deprivation
that proceed to intimidate me,
The lucid delusions
that I'm caught up in,
The vast and emptiness
that my soul feels in abyss,
The mortifying compliments
that i receive from society about you,
Had I been that impervious to your imprudence
that i now see?
It was me myself that had been mistaken
as not to proceed in avenging thee.

Just to be with you-
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
If loving you was that easy
I wouldn't need to journey across the ocean
Or comprise so much just to be with you,

If gaining your trust was so easy
I wouldn't need to make mountains
Or to sacrifice so much just to be with you,

If making you love me was that easy
I wouldn't have to reach the moon
Or work so hard just to be with you.

Forms of pain
Arfah Afaqi Zia Nov 2016
A quixotic paradox,
Sinking me into utopia,
Unimaginable occurrences,

Learnt and observed,
No one warns you about the amount of heart breaks and dishevels in growth,
An irreparable ache,

A void untouched,
Scarred and defoliating on its outer core,
Turns into dust n' ash, subsequently,

An aggression of pain,
A collective group of insane,
Ludicrous and high on looped smoke,

Torture,
Vexated and erred,
Dropping slowly in abyss and isolation.

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.

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.

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.

Nail polish

Losing some weight,
Maintains my body shape,

And frail,
But one things for sure,
I'll never be
Unpraised.

And emotionally blackmailed me

Emotionally blackmailed me
into taking mine..

I hate you.
But then again I have to love you

I'm not perfect !
Arfah Afaqi Zia Nov 2015
My situation so disabled,
My heart beats with every tear that rolls down my cheek,
My eyes swollen from the scars which are unhealed,
My life's a mess,

My soul aches only for the constrictions in my heart to cease,
I hope one day they do,
The day I seek freedom from all the mishaps,
The ups and downs that sum up the pain in my life,

The sorrow and woe in my heart,
I hope that the hatred that developed in those hearts,
The hearts of whom I care about, which are fragile,
Exterminates this instant,

I'm tired of the accusations I get to hear,
For the things I didn't do,
And for the things that still remain,
Am I not a human?

Is that so hard for you to digest?
My mistakes are my learning experience,
I maybe wrong but one thing I know is I'm not perfect,
I have my flaws.
I'm not. And all these discriminating accusations are hurtful. My mom thinks whatever happens around is my fault. I'm so tired listening to her accuse me.

A murder story
Arfah Afaqi Zia Feb 2016
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.

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.

Mother
Arfah Afaqi Zia Dec 2015
Her heavenly embrace
that she has enveloped me in,
Her showered love and kisses,
Her consoling and soothing affection,
Thank you mother for your unconditional support !
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2017
As I leap forward to touch
I pull myself in danger and terror
like the forbidden tree
I enter into a forbidden trance

A place where only desire resides
where hands are restless and reach for love
where bodies arouse
I enter into a forbidden trance

A mixture of feelings and emotions
a wave of fear that sweeps off the smile from my face
i touch my finger tips to yours and caress you
I enter into a forbidden trance

The thought of loss petrifies me
your soul conquers me
it is you that I yearn for knowing the consequences
I enter into a forbidden trance.

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.

Was I that bad?
Not worthy for thee.

Every inch of my body throbs,

The places you touched,
Incomplete without you.

A prayer
Arfah Afaqi Zia Dec 2015
What about the millions who are dying?
What about the people who haven't suffice?
What about the terrorism worldwide?
What about anything that is important but not handled wisely?
What about that once promised peace and justice?

****** and bloodshed,
Famine everywhere,
Children without shoes, clothes and shelter everywhere,
Running through the hustle bustle,
To earn to feed and live their lives in peace,

Children of Adam,
What should be done O God to help the poor,
To wipe away the creeping pain and sorrow,
O children of Eve,
Is this how you picture your own kids?

The fancy cars,
Trunks loaded with guns and grenades,
Women mistreated and marked *****,
Is this the way it should be done?
Is this why we have been sent to earth?

To smoke ****,
Drink alcohol,
And spit dirt on girls,
To disrespect and ****,
To solve through bribing,

Is this what we teach our children?
That shop lifting is okay?
Or taking away thousands of lives and you shall not pay,
Is this what we want?
Is it?

O God we join in unison,
And say a short but important prayer,
Please help these people,
Bring them back to the right path,
Show and lead the way because without you we all may pave away.
Aameen or for some of you, Amen <3

Heartbreak
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2019
Parched lips sip at the rejoice of true love
Sheltering unto the embarks of greatness;
A beautiful journey- oblivious to heartbreak.
Intrigued by gleamy eyes, wet from crying-
Tears for hoax love,
The heart shatters at the sight of each tear drop
One kiss my dear and all pain shall go away.
There was something about the way he smiled
The way his body flexed with each move,
O how divine!
But it wasn't just his body i liked, it was his soul
Or atleast that's what i thought too.
Took me long to know of his deceitful facade;
And his false love
He was not what he claimed to be
He was but a monster in disguise, a true depiction of what we call a casanova.

What is this?
Arfah Afaqi Zia Nov 2015
The currenty vibes that move along my skin,
With every touch I feel faint,
Your caress and love so charismatic,
It drives me crazy,
Thinking whether you're a Virgo or Pisces,

Your smile so breathtaking,
And eyes so mesmerizing,
I wonder what to do when you're near,
Your overly protective nature though aggravating,
Allures me,

Maybe I have a concussion,
The reason why I yearn for your attention,
The very reason I flinch when you touch,
Is this what love is ?
Or is it merely an attraction.

A secret plea
Arfah Afaqi Zia Feb 2016
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.

Arfah Afaqi Zia Jan 2016
In vengeance I await for you to come,
Oh my disciples,
He is the man we're looking for,

The atrocious smug I've been waiting for,
Slowly, steadily I will make him pay,
Cut his wrist and slit his nape,

The blood he spilled,
The thousands of people he killed,
Oh God ! I promise you I'll make him pay,

His dark and hideous face,
His target-y gaze,
Don't you worry my dear, he shall pay.

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.

Queries about life
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2017
Why does life seem so meaningless
Why does it feel so hurtful yet painless?

It seems so vague
yet so understood
it is as sharp as a shard
yet it doesn't hurt when it cuts me through

Why does life seem so meaningless
Why does it feel so hurtful yet painless?

Words come out regardlessly
And scar me
Leaving behind bruises and marks
So poignant yet mild

Why does life seem so meaningless
Why does it feel so hurtful yet painless?

Hearing stories once untold
Bizzare hallucinations capture me
Dreams of loss and despair
Yet so bearable

Why does life seem so meaningless
Why does it feel so hurtful yet painless?

Subtle
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Her smile so patronizing,
Obstinate,
Unexpressable !

I mourn in pain,
Whilst it starts to rain,
The drip drop of the water,
It makes my heart want to smother,
But because of my daughter,
I try not to bother.

She passes me by,
Not caring about
her whereabouts,
sigh.

She's so busy in her
life,
That she's forgotten that
she is my
wife !
A husbands point of view.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Dec 2016
Three words,
A mixture of emotions,
But in the end all mean the same,
A continuous feeling,
Limited, yet pure,
A cluster of languages,
Different backgrounds,
Some true, filled with integrity,
Some unsure, filled with confusion,
Some gone, filled with hurt,
But in the end all mean the same,
The variance may matter regionally,
East or West,
North or South;
But all these fall in one category,
Some taken ignorantly,
Some taken by heart,
And some in pain,
But in the end all mean the same,
I LOVE YOU, as they say!

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.

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.

Its your day my love,
Look out of your window and you see the sun,
Blooming its radiant rays as bright as ever,
You're so special to me,
Your touch and caress so important,
Your heart beats with my touch,
As I feel it envelope me in its loving self,
Baby, its your birthday,
Hope you have many more,
With me beside you,
As everyday that passes,
You grow old with me,
And that I die bearing your name,
I love you, darling,
And I will love you infinite.

This worlds needs to change,
It needs revolutionized minds and sanes,

Politicians corrupt and misuse resources,
Voices of people interrupted and ignored,

What has this world come to?
Where have all these Mavericks and Dissidents run off to?

How is it that one preaches them?
Maybe a few of these can help reshape, remold and restructure the world.

The wind still blows
Arfah Afaqi Zia Feb 2016
[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 !

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.

under an incandescent lamp
i sat sequestered from the rest of the world,

In the corner stood a bewitching monster trying hard to frighten me
terrorized, i lifted my hand in a short prayer
the figure in the distance had instantly become a mere speck,

The wind outside blew hard petrifying me
the shrill sound of the windows and the shadow of the branches
I lifted my hands and once again it all stopped,

It was my faith in Allah
and my trust in his prayers that strengthened me
vanishing all evil away from me!

My tears like rain,
Shedding and trickling rage,
Pain intemperate,
Severity flaming within,
You imprudent and insane.

Umeed (Hope)
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2016
I constantly tell myself everyday before going to bed that I'll move on and that I'll stop thinking about you, but never has there been a day that I didn't shed tears. In everything that includes pictures, music, movies, books, my mind is compelled to reminisce about you.

The day I promised to love you solely and forever, the day you said you want forever with me, but that never really happened. You only left me shattered and heartbroken. My demons haunt me every night, my scars deepen and ache.

In this baffled state, sequestered and isolated, I keep my hopes alive that one day you will want me and accept that I am the one for you!

The reluctant suitor
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Sitting in front of the window,
Sinking deeper and deeper into my thoughts,
Clasping my hands together on my lap,
I gazed outside observing my surroundings,
Was it that obvious?
Was I the only person not aware of the situation?
My eyes focused on a bud as it started to close in the sunset,
It was not only an encounter,
Drawing myself away from the chair,
I know it may not seem that clear,
Slide opening the window,
I collected my thoughts and shouted at the top of my lungs,
We were and are destined to be together !!!
