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.

He doesn't understand how much she struggles,
He doesn't see the love she holds for him,
He doesn't know how much she's breaking from the inside,
He doesn't feel the ache of her scars-
Or see her lurking in the dark,

She only see's her struggles
She loves him more than anything in this world,
She feels hopeless like she's dead from the inside,
But what she doesn't know is, there's a light igniting at the end of the tunnel,
A guide against her fears.

Love decay
Arfah Afaqi Zia Apr 2016
I gather words
From here and there
Merge them together
Dissolving hate

Love in its true form
Sparkles in the sky
Blooms with the rays of the sun
And resides in the soul

Your engaging power
So strong
Attracting me
And enchanting our love daily

Times change
Love remains not the same
In your heart I may have perished
But to me our love will never decay.

I seek pleasure in Allah's blessings,
I reverently engage myself in worshipping Him,
Praying with a remorseful heart-
And scarred soul,

My eyes shed tears of sorrow,
For my sins to be forgiven,
I take the road to faith and hope-
Because I am currently lost in the midst of this world.

Persuasion
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
Poignant images,
Excruciating pain,
Remorse you mean to say,
Some know some don't,
Unbearable they say,
Accepting your plea finally,
Sending flowers to lure,
Invincible bail,
Obstinate ways,
N**ever gain.

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.

Whilst you sit and think
of how to preach me
through
teary eyes and guilt arising within,
I stand in front of the mirror
in high spirits
speaking as if my words though replete,

They really don't care
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.

The sun
Arfah Afaqi Zia Feb 2016
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.
Random.

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 .

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 !

Change
Arfah Afaqi Zia Apr 2016
Shimmering sparkles stream down my cheek,
Negating patience within my soul,
My heart weeps in pain,

My brain encounters changes,
Baffled am I,
Totally unknown to this paradox I now experience,

Horrified of the gallantry,
That my heart once pursued,
Notorious had I become,

Insanity drives me in its depth,
Like an oceanic wave it carries me away,
To its center I reside and see progressions and changes in haste.

'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.

Under the sky
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Under the sky,
I lay beneath an oak tree,
Gazing at the stars.

As i look up I see a dandelion flowers leaf pass by,
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.

Under the sky,
I lay beneath an oak tree,
Gazing at the stars.

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

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.

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.

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.

Assimilating their thoughts through every stroke,
Loving each other severely.

Encounter

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,
Terminating abhor and replacing it with love,
Easing all the pain and worries,
R**epairing that once broken friendship.

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.

Immortality
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
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.....

Voices
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2018
I hear voices in my head
So real, as if someone's calling out my name
They are so loud and so clear
That at times when i want to shut away from the world
They petrify me and i fail to procure peace
When i lay down, wanting to sleep
My head explodes like a volcano
And once again, someone's voice erupts-
Calling out my name
It makes me feel so different and strange
I can't begin to explain how irritating it is at times
That i feel the urge to shoot myself
I want it to end
But for some reason they keep getting louder and louder when i try to resist them
I hesitate to carry on my day for this very reason
And let these voices flood in and slowly take me with them, piece by piece- till the day I'm gone!

Always on our minds!

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!

These tears can't stop flowing,
They are tears of happiness,
Oh dear you're my possession,

Of your absence,
And that you fled away,

My balance,
weak and poignant,
Needs a lot of repair,

Withering me internally,

Not even a glue,
Or a surgery can help me stabilize,
Its just you,
And your touch,

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.

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.

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

The shady yet withered leaves-
conquer the space underneath,

stand tall with fruits on each branch,
a pair of squirrels adapt within this very tree,
old are its roots that travel beneath,

chirp melodies of blessings to God-

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,

Notorious teenagers vandalize themselves,

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.

My heart elevated once,
Synchronizing with your heart beat,
Enveloped and engraved in the fullest,
With each beat my heart would race,

Shattered mentally and emotionally,

Baffled and misled,
Heart broken still misled,
Discriminated but still misled,

Society has done nothing but distressed,
Judged you from beginning to end,
Shattered your ego and made you regret,

Loved and misled,
Helped still misled,
Supported but still misled,

Never did it occur once-
How poignant it must be for others to move on,
How hard it is to live but still feel dead,

Trust and misled,
Share still misled,
Protect but still misled.
This is society. This is how people are and how they roll. You are always misled and degraded.

Survival

Going on with life alone,
It feels as if I've been put into a warzone,
Making efforts for staying alive,
Knowing nothing about my chance of survival,
What can one do in someone's demise?
Other than crying and feeling paralyzed,
How tragic can life be,
Deluding a person in misery,
Loss can shatter all hope,
Leaving behind only pieces of memory,
Though catastrophic and devastating,
But an optimistic mind can drive away all worries,
Giving a better out luck on existence than just melancholy....

Whether hot or cold,
Either its a blizzard or a storm,
These men stand strong on their feet ready for war,

Dissolving angst,
And taking in all worries as an obligation,
They perform their duties as saviors to the country,

With eyes they see cruelty,
With hearts they perceive pain,
But with valor they leap forward to exterminate.

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.

Holding a whip and wearing boots,

Brushing his hair through my fingers,
Thinking to myself,
How beautiful is this creature,
Majestic and miraculously created by God...
I love riding and chestnut <3

Poverty
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Driving through the mountains and green meadows,
The sound of the streaming river in all possible directions,
The blowing of the wind,
The dancing dandelions,

As the road continues my eyes pop wider and wider,
It seems so unreal,
The beauty is so enchanting that it takes my breath away,
Feels like a fantasy,

As I lay back in my seat,
I quietly listen to the birds sing,
Everything is so lively,

On every mountain there is a forest,
I see a group of chamelions crawling,

Making my way to the river,
Sitting on the edge I see a  shadow,
As I turn around I see a man,
So old and frail,
His eyes full of pain,
A solid and strong heart,

Focusing on his hand he holds a steel ornament,
As I concentrate on it I realise it's a chisel,

He seems so committed in what he's doing,
What a pained and exhausted life they have,

Our theories on life are so luxurious,
But these people work day and night for a living,
Saving up money for their families,
Though suffering from famine,

My heart throbs for these souls,
Who live through winter without shelter and coal.
It really hurts when you see poor people. The way they live and spend theirs lives.

Dosed by cigarette,

Roughness and constriction,
Devastated and delirious,
Progression no more,
Poignancy affirmed,

Tackling with the challenges,
Tyranny and atrocity,
Spreads in the city,
Gold diggers and muggers on the street,

Under flyers the poor sleep,
The walking dead everywhere seen,
Beggars and thieves,
Murders scare me,

You will all feel the pain, indeed.

I drift the blue sky with the sun blazing
And go where the route takes me,

My destination comes at halt
Where the sea and the horizon meet
And aloof, I absorb the energy from the breeze, relieved.

My life though,
Obscure,
Never will I complain,
Even if I feel hopeless,
Y**ou will always enlighten my day.
Thank you Sana for always being there when I need you :)

The full moon rises
with an echo from the corner
creaking sounds from the distance
hallucinating in the darkness
as the silhouettes of the night awaken my senses
hearing each and every sound
understanding the pain of tortured souls
grieving over poignant memories
hearts of those withered and souls decayed
tis the drug inhaled causing such serene
and ability to hear the ache of others.
