Saying goodbye !
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
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.

A devastating journey
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2016
Many times has it occurred to me that love was a mixture of happiness and haven. Where you feel so comfortable with your partner and savor the intensity and grandeur of it.
Many times have I erred, that falling in love with you would change my life completely. My imprudent heart so frail, surrendered fore you.
Now that it struck me hard, a broken heart is what you get from love. Either its caused by someone's demise or a broken promise. It takes you to the path where your demons that were once hidden, lurking in the shadow of your soul, capture you and pull you into abyss. Where only shattered memories and a scarred soul reside.

Us
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Us
Exhilarated,
Astonished,
Amazed,
I gasp as i see you.

You beam a smile at my direction,
Lubb Dubb,
My heart beats fast.
You make your way towards me.

'May I have this dance with you?'
I nodd, confused what to say.
We waltz in the hall.
I can feel eyes boring at me.

Envy and jealous people surround us.
Girls give me ***** looks,
And boys mumble things under their breath.
I'm delighted we look the best !

An unknown fear
Arfah Afaqi Zia May 2018
Things have started to bug me
Conversations that were once vague
Now becoming understandable
Painful days are yet to come my way
For once again my depression will take over my emotions
My already poignant heart burdened
Why can't i remain exultant as i was before these hurtful days?
I confabulate with my brain
Trying to assemble the broken pieces
And containing my spilt tears
As these tears will forever shed
It is, but my lack of self esteem
My feeling of being sequestered that i fear
I can't lose more of my faith nor my sanity
Or I'll wither away with those who have already departed
Because frankly, from within I'm no more.

I love....
Arfah Afaqi Zia Dec 2015
I love your touch,
Your delicious scent,
The aroma of your perfume that seducts me,
Your kisses thrill me,
When I'm with you I feel secure,
I feel shielded,

Your love,
Your delicious scent,
The aroma of your perfume that seducts me,
Your lips as they brush my neck,
As they nibble my ear,
Allure me and make me restless,

Your love,
Your delicious scent,
The aroma of your perfume that seducts me,
Your mellifluous voice sing me lullabies to sleep,
Ease I feel when I'm near you,
As your everything comforts me.

My final destination
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jan 2016
The degree at which I seek,
In terms to keep;
Our relationship at peace,
Paradox it may seem,
To be a part of thee,
My life begins and ends in thy arms,
My forevermore,
My sweet temptation,
My final destination,

Eroding beside the shore,
On the corners,
Along the curves,
Candor you are,
And your heart at its worse,
Dysfunctional as it works slow,
Killing a millionth part of me,
My lips sealed,
And my love ceased,

My attempts to proceed,
Ignoring the mishap,
And a trillionth deceive,
Aggravating me indeed,
Seldom I see you weep,
For me to escort with thee,
I lose my hurt instantly,
Giving away my body,
My final destination.

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.

Dream vs reality
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jul 2017
When life had me in shackles
I had known
that this was reality for sure,

Dreams once lit holistically
showered my life with love and compassion
they took me where there's serenity and peace,

But when arose the demons of terror
the nightmare of deceit and hurt
then came rushing in actuality,

Twas my life that had fallen apart
my soul that went in abyss
and my heart that was scarred,

I was blinded by superficiality
by the ugly lies that I was told
and the flamboyance of people,

It had then struck me
I was nothing but alone
oblivious of the dark secrets kept from me and the hate amidst this world.

As dew kisses good bye-
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
Sand dunes at the end of June,
A prolonging urge to hold your hand,
A quiet and pleasant moon
Though unaccompanied by you,
Your departure was non-existent,
Vague-
As dew kisses good bye

Knowing well,
That this storm may not end yet,
My heart sinks low,
As all my energy drains,
Emptying my veins,
Slowly and partially-
As dew kisses good bye

For the next many years,
I mourn in pain,
Exultant once-
I remember the feeling of love at first sight,
As winter engaged,
It would remain static but now terminates in the summers,
As dew kisses good bye

I whisper in the dark,
Remember my name, love?
I hear no voice,
Alone with a silhouette of myself-
I spill words on a piece of paper,
Writing hastily-
*As dew kisses good bye

The summer before
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Those endless nights,
Hanging to my mind,
Everything seems so vague,
Still don't get who's right,
Unattainable words rush in my mind,
My eyes start getting wider,
Making me whine,
Enmity filled now pours out of my eyes,
Release my soul because now I'm wise,
Blasphemy comes out of his mouth,
Endure the pain for i will rise,
Forcing my body to stop,
Ominous of what i got,
Relax I won't make you pay,
E**ven though you and i both know i might prey .

Limits
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2018
They said the stars are the limit,
But it takes more than minimal to achieve,
That's when I struggled and put in a strenuous amount of effort to mold myself,
I blended amidst the mass, trying hard to be recognised,
Had i known earlier the difficulties that were likely to arise;
The challenges of maintaining an image,
The rumors and the lies that break you,
And the harshness of society and its demands that shatters you-
If only i knew, i wouldn't have taken down this road of turmoil and pretence.

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.
Arfah Afaqi Zia May 2016
A victim of deceit
a defiant lover
she cradle's her way back
as life moves on with such speed
like a bullet train it flashes past,

Vandalized to such expectancy
her heart experiences frailty
and faith shatters
always told to wait
she herself ruined her fate,

Men entered her life
and left, leaving behind pain
unbearable reminiscence
moving on with her woes
knowing well she err'd,

Poignant
she sheds tears in vain
a state she enters into
heart broken and worthless she feels
Though intended, she repeats her mistakes o'er and o'er again.
Sometimes knowing well you've experienced deceit and the outcomes that it would display, you keep repeating your mistakes in hope that not everyone's the same.

Him
My life.....
Sigh !
'What about it ?'
He asked.

I hesitantly opened my mouth.
Couldn't say a word,
So shut it again.
'What about it?'

I finally said, 'I don't know.'
He narrowed his gaze on me.
'I want to know !', he ordered.
All I saw was his eyes.

So grey.
So, so,
Full of concern,
And love for me.

I  began.
'My life is complete because of you.'
He smiled at me.
I blushed  and quickly looked away.

He took my hand in his.
And said,
'You are my life, my everything.'
Those we're the only words I longed to hear.

Then the day after that,
It all shattered.
He left me heart broken,
And guilty.

How I regret my doings,
I wish I had a time machine,
So I could go back and undo things,
To start a new life !

Patience my child
Arfah Afaqi Zia Apr 2016
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.

Persuasion

Poignant images,
Excruciating pain,
Remorse you mean to say,

Sending flowers to lure,
Invincible bail,
Obstinate ways,
N**ever gain.

I incessantly-
Roam in the huge desert alone,
For intake of water.

Just a dream
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2016
Crimson and in crude form,
I lay amongst scattered bodies,
In ash and blood streams,
I drag myself away from this heart wrenching scene-
I bring myself out of this dream,
This dreadful dream, where only people lay restless,
I sequester myself from people,
I feel incomplete,
Pained and hurt,
Sore and scarred everywhere,
My heart feels weighed and lonely,
This was just a dream I had,
Though realistic and kept surreptitious for so long.
I hope one day terrorism ends!

Always on our minds!
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jan 2017
They say there's peace in his end,
There's serenity in heaven,
But what about the people he's left behind,

They say,'Don't worry, he's in a better place.' ,
They say he's doing well up there,
But what about the people he's left behind,

They say he's blessed to have fled away,
He's lucky not to see the atrocities that are seen,
But what about the people he's left behind,

He's up there looking out for us,
He's in our prayers and our tongues all the time,
But what about the people he's left behind.
There were so many things I wanted to tell you. So many things I wanted to know about you. But you're gone now. Two years, the people we've had to deal and the hollowness we had to feel in your absence. So much happenings but you're not there. I miss you always ❤

-In memory of my nana. May his soul rest in peace, aameen!

If only
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2017
If only i could distinguish between love and hate,
If only i could differentiate between what is and isn't,

I'd say I lack the ability to set apart,
Things may seem right but they aren't,
All seems sane but it's not,
Its the eye of optimism that blinds reality;
that covers all the lies,

If only i could distinguish between love and hate,
If only i could differentiate between what is and isn't,

My way of handling,
My way of bearing;
It's just not satisfying,
I should be the one to make my own decisions,
But I'm now only dependent on others,

If only i could distinguish between love and hate,
If only i could differentiate between what is and isn't,

I'm so under control,
I can't defy my taker;
Can't take my own steps,
I am frail,
I am a woman, so that is what society has to say,

If only i could distinguish between love and hate,
If only i could differentiate between what is and isn't,

My power to nurture,
My power to assemble;
It's nothing compared to what's being said about me or any other that can relate,
I am best at what I do,
Yet I'm weak to pave away,

If only i could distinguish between love and hate,
If only i could differentiate between what is and isn't.
Women are so suppressed. Although, there are so many feminist movements, yet neither one of us has a say.

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.

Our honor, our pride
Arfah Afaqi Zia Dec 2015
Jewels of our country,
Gems of the world,
Every child in their own
differs and holds an astounding talent,
A devastating day on 16 December,
Last year kids were martyred to death,
Victimizing their families and friends,
They will always reside in our hearts,
They will always be our shining stars,
Our countries honor and pride,
Those souls in heaven will shine so ever bright,
Their smiling faces in peace,
Will ease the pain in their mothers heart,
Satisfy their father,
And stand as audacious children for our nation,
You will always be remembered,
And will always own a huge slot in our soul,
Our tears that we shed for you,
Will not be meaningless,
And these tools will help stand against those savages,
Making them pay till the day we all live,
And slay their heads off in terms of decay.
A tribute to the Peshawar attack. It has been one year and still we haven't forgotten you. May your souls rest in peace. Aameen <3

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.

Escaping shackled memories,
Narcissts here, and narcissts there,
Communicating later to form a truce,
Oblivious of everything that had once happened,
Unveiling the truth that had once been ugly,
Negotiation being carried,

Easing all the pain and worries,
R**epairing that once broken friendship.

Hard love
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2017
How hard is it to make you understand-
the risks I take,
the things I have to bear,

I really don't know how to please you;
whether to ignore or not,
You have no idea how hard it is,

Putting up with others accusations;
criticism amd rumors so remorseful,
yet you only see what I haven't done,

Wish I could make you understand-
that how much you mean to me,
because that is all that matters to me.

Arfah Afaqi Zia Dec 2015
The light shone,
Flickering to it's epitome,
The fire on my candle rage,
The furry of the flame call out the immortal,
The presence of those away from our world,
The agonizing conflicts that occur,
Killing and shredding the soul,
As I walk deeper into the tunnel,
The strength of the candle withers,
Enthralling voices echo in the darkness,
Accompanying me,
As the rest of the world around me doesn't care,
Everyone busy in their lives,
Eat, love and hate,
I sit and stare in the corner,
Waiting for their figures to appear,
But as usual they don't care.

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.

I quickly make a wish,
That you lay by my side.

In this beautiful night,
With that captivating smile on your face,
That could erase all my hate.

I close my eyes,
To imagine that you're by my side,
Holding my hand so tight and never leaving my side.

Eyes scan the world,
Looking from here to there,

Mourning aggravation leaves the lips,
Expressing intolerable souls,

Atrocious cities,
Vulgarities perceived,
This is what nowadays humanity see's,

****** eyes receive pain,
That stings the eyes,
And hurts faith,

**** and bloodshed everywhere,
Spreading across the globe in such haste,
Recalcitrant belief but true deeds,

Uncontrollable greed,
Poverty and inflation increased,
But no one pays a heed,

Homeless people sweep the city,
Notorious teenagers vandalize themselves,
Thinking less and doing more.

Power of writing

When in pain I write
words of grief that remain untold
the epitome of my heart
as the hurt penetrates through my soul pinching me
I cry with inexpressible words flooding my mind
my eyes wet and my hands trembling
my isolation is what kills me from the inside
people surround me yet i am alone
once so strong, i would hide my agony
now it started to show
started from pain and ended up as depression
with very less people to understand me
i take down to the path that calms me
i fight my depression and write, yet i falter!

'I was already gone'
Arfah Afaqi Zia Dec 2016
I dreamt last night of death,
I saw myself enslaved on the burdens of my sins,
The weightlessness of my virtue,
I saw before death the last tick of the clock-
But hopelessly I couldn't do nothing,
I prayed and cried for forgiveness,
Repented on my sins after my soul departed,
But I was too late,
I was already gone.

Think about it !
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
I had a dream,
That I met a guy.
He was as lively as a bird,
And as funny as a lie.
(Don't know why I wrote lie :/ never mind :p)

We conversed about ”Life”,
He said, ” Life isn't about money. It's about eliminating a sense of pride. Giving and taking, respecting, eradicating discrimination and ,caring about others needs.”
No doubt his speech was so right.
And quite wise.

Then he began,
”Before this era, we lived in peace and harmony. People cared about others needs. They helped the poor and spread word of equality.”
With a long pause he said,
” Now all you see is ego and pride. Human race is no less than the animal race. We treat others like savages and feel superior to others. The poor don't get any attention.”

He was right it's true.
I added,
”Malnutrition is widespread and so is killing innocent children. Though there are people who help and realize the pain of others.”
He smiled.
” Yes dear there are people. But does it matter that only 30% of the people who die helping the rest 70% don't.”

” People always change. Once you get money in a large quantity you have no time for others than just showing off. You forget who's Allah. You forget who has given you all this.”
He continued.
” We should set our priorities. Our first priority is give in the name of God. Our second is to feed the poor. Our third is to help our relatives in need. And last is to use up the little we have for our family.”
I was about to say something.

Suddenly I woke up with a jolt.
What a strange dream.
But it was so true.

Holding a whip and wearing boots,

Majestic and miraculously created by God...

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.

And enchanting our love daily

My historical love
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
I converse with my conscience,
In somehow finding ways to captivate you,
To surrender you with my love,
A cage which bounds entry of any other, just you and me,

Your way of talking,
Your way of preaching,
Addicting and alluring me by weakening the chains around my hearts,
Star strucking me everywhere,

It now feels like amnesia,
Now that you restricted yourself from me,
Banishing all sorts of entry in my heart,
But still I have that special slot left for you and only you,

Its like i'm being dragged in the Egyptian era,
Where I i'm Cleopatra,
Or being offered a role in Shakespeare play,
Where I play Juliet and you my Romeo,

It was technically not love at first sight,
It was more of an appeal,
A disease a virus,
That infected me thats what I forsee,

Like Jane Austin's novel,
You as Mr Darcy and I as Ms Elizabeth,
Or it feels like being in the Victorian era,
Where you play Troilus and I play Cressada,

My historical insight,
Enrages my thoughts,
Comparing our lives in accord to them,
Our love so beautiful that will always remain.

Five minutes, six minutes, seven minutes pass,
Tick tock, the clock moves faster,
I don't remember anything,
But pain,
When I wake up after several hours I feel strong,
As I put my hand on the mailbox to get up,
'Crunch'
I hear a sound,
Quickly drawing my hand away,
It cannot be,
I crushed the mailbox,
Bewildered and shocked,
I stare at my hands,
How can this be?
I think to myself I'm sleeping,
I close my eyes and open them again,
I see it right there on the side walk,
The crushed mailbox,
I rub my hands on my nape,
Sweet mother of roses,
Gradually it all starts coming to me,
I was bit by a vampire,
I am immortal.....

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.

Gloomed in Hells Dungeon
Arfah Afaqi Zia Dec 2016
Startled and horrified by society,
A silhouette of a petrified soul crumples in the darkest corner of the night,
In tears and remorse,
With slit arms and blood flowing through each wound,
Droplets of tears and blood drip, forming a pool of water n' rust,
The scars on her heart deepen and stain her body,
The dark circles under her pale eyes, moist,
An urge to smoke or drink escapes her lips as a sigh,
Not caring about what's harmful and what's not,
Just a sip or a puff of smoke can shackle all her hurt,
Vandalized from within,
Completely shut and worn out-
Thanks to one mistake they take her innocence away,
An unforgetful dread, a frightful nightmare!

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 !!!!

Winter goals
Arfah Afaqi Zia Dec 2015
Hot chocolate and marshmallows,
The warmth of the blanket,
The sizzling kisses,
Socks and mittens,
Two bodies tangled together,
Heavenly touching and caressing,
Assimilating their thoughts through every stroke,
Loving each other severely.

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.

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 !
