My poem !
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Fool or no fool,
It's my pen and my paper.
I write what I like,
I write about my desires.
What is it to you?

Mirror
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Broken images,
vague memory.
I remember when we first met.
I recall mirroring my personality
within you,
Then it all faded
the
day i saw your true identity.
The dark and evil side of you,
You committed a crime !
Taking away an innocent man's life,
Is that all you had to do?
Couldn't you have forgiven him?
What to do?
What to do?
I expected better from you.

The darkness
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
The ghastly shadow of the night,
Taking over me like a blanket,
Covering up my dark side,
Making it even darker than last night,
What is it about the dark?
Whenever i'm under this cover,
I feel lonesome and deprived,
The feelings of being single hit me bad,
Is this what it feels like?
To be lonely and broken from the inside,
Looking at people connect,
Their lives so blessed,
Mine, not so bright,
Getting darker by every night,
Now even the stars that spread the sky,
Make things seem so high to reach,
And dark to preach,
Is it just me lagging behind?
Or is there someone else left behind,
The loneliness scares me,
But the light of the sun merries me,
Now that again,
I write this poem as the suns gone,
I feel darker but strong,
As still there is life in me,
That's holding in that spirit,
That I now share with you,
As within the next two hours,
The sun will rise.

Reign of Internet-
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jul 2016
In a new era we have been brought into,
With children holding in their hands the secrets of the world and its dark plans,

Children that were once innocent,
Upgraded with information so vast that was once out of an ordinary man's grasp,

With the help of the internet-
The cyber savagery that can now be called has ruined our society and killed its norms,

Internet the leading hypnosis-
The root of all evil has controlled children in its trance,

Gadgets being revived,
New and better electronics being devised,

Containing apps and sites that were once recalcitrant to create,
But now are easily accessible and made,

What has become of this world?
What will happen to our future?

Our children victimized in this bewitching daze,
Will only destruct the world greatly, in haste.

Untitled
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2016
Toppled by regret,
My sorrow takes me into depth
Cutting through my heart
And flowing with my blood

My soul torn in between
From needles of haters
And comments from society
Can I not live in tranquility?

Lagging behind
Considering imprudence for the sake of living
Is this life?
Is this how I would want it to be?

Queries-
They fog my mind
Making it hard to perceive
Vague and perplexed, stranded in the middle of nowhere.

Meditation
Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2016
Meditating my way to Nirvana,
I exult in desire,
My needs fufilled,
And tranquillity comes along as willed,

Wishing away tyranny,
Atrocious leaders that ****,
Should try meditation,
Until their soul reincarnates.

Falling in love
Arfah Afaqi Zia Dec 2015
Flashing outburst in my heart,
A** celestial feeling,
Luring me to touch you,
Laminating these emotions,
I reach out for your hand,
Numb I feel,
Gliding within you.

Irresistable love,
Nostalgia.

Love distant,
Off shore but true,
Vandalizing all sorrow,
Eternity it feels to be in love with you.

Death
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2016
Empty holes deepen in my heart-
needles penetrate through my valves,
and explode into streaming blood,

Being close to someone-
and then losing them is like vandalism-
or a wild storm terrorizing the sea,

Once you lose someone,
you lose a part of you that's not ready to let go,
like a baby bird without its nest,

Crying like volcano's erupting,
dying a millionth inside,
like each cell feels lifeless and stops without their presence,

'Death' you can say is worse than losing a toy or going through a break up,
It's like never having to see that person again,
Or forgetting how they look,

As time flows by,
Its becomes harder and harder to live without that someone,
Although their presence once may seem unimportant but after their death becomes vivid n' clear.

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.

Thank you HP
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
I can't face people,
Or share my fears with others,
I write because that's the one thing I'm good at,
I get to express my feelings.
When I look in your eyes,
I get lost in their depths,
But by penning it down I find ease.
When I write,
It feels as if it's only me and my paper's.
Filling all the pages with my black ink.
I feel proud of my capabilities.
Feeling worth it.

Murder and Terror restored-
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
Shrouded bodies enveloped,
With stains, lifeless they lay in peace,

                                   Tears shed in vain,
                                   No humanity, no soul,

Screaming people dragged-
Within this circle of death and slaughter,

        Pain and remorseful families,
        Wail in pain, awaiting termination of terror

Blood of innocence,
Drains in catastrophic pool and trails

            Cold hearts and atrocities leavin' corpses,
            Exiling the countries citizens,

Wiping away masses,
In hundreds and more.

Don't care
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Let the spotlight shine on us,
Let the route take us to a place without any fuss.
Let there  be haters,
Let there be lovers.

I just wanna play in this rainy weather,
With my friends,
Let people Judge all they want,
Let  them haunt.

Because clearly I don't care,
About you,
About him,
Or about them.

Discontentment
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
What is life?
Life is all about love and peace,
It tends the heart to cease,
People hope and dream for more,
They dream about gold,
Money means the world to them,
But, they do not know love is a precious gem,
They hope for the best,
Just like the rest,
The after life is something they do not worry about,
While these people enjoy others are in doubt,
Hopes and dreams do not always come true,
They often come and go like Deja Vu,
Still people desire,
They ask for diamonds, rubies and sapphires,
They get it but still yearn for more,
What they do not know about is how meaningless life is,
You yearn for more but never get it,
Love is pleasure,
Something that you should treasure,
Money is just something you can measure.....

Once...
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2016
Once a baby,
Now no more,
Oh how wonderful were those days,
No pressure, no hurt,

Now its so hard to cope with people,
To deal with life and make new friends,
It scares me at times,
As I lurk in the darkest places at night,

I seek for life to entice me,
For friends to suffice and complete me,
But all I ever get is betrayed,
No one there stays in the end,

Once when we were kids,
I remember we'd make paper planes,
And wait for the recess bell to be heard,
So we could play together in unison,

Once when girls and boys weren't discriminated,
When we'd all sit together and talk,
Play games all the time,
And be cooperative and nice,

Once a baby,
Now no more,
Oh how wonderful were those days,
No pressure, no hurt.
Oh how I wish I had a time machine

Confessions of a drunk man
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Give me a reason,

Papa
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Love and affection has always been his top priority,
Working day and night for a living,
Providing all kinds of comfort to his family,
A very respectable man he was,
As wise as a lover,
Bringing candies,
Giving them to everyone,
His wife would consider herself the luckiest person on earth,
His attention and devotion to her was a blessing,
He was the reason that put a smile to our faces,
He lit the whole house with his presence,
His wife, his children and their children meant the world to him,
Putting in all efforts to his work,
Books, writing and family were his strength,
He would mend broken hearts,
Never did he complain about something,
Always there for everyone through thick and thin,
He would stand on his feet to support,
A busy man he was,
But never did he give up,
A man of morals,
A well known personality my Grandfather,
You will always be remembered,
Remembered as a loving husband, an ideal father and the best Grandfather !!!!!
I lost my grandfather this year... He will always stay in my heart... I miss him so much :'(

As time passes, enemies become friends and friends become enemies. You never expect that you'd ever embrace deceit from someone you were once so close to. But then again time changes situation and the person itself.

Dark secret
Arfah Afaqi Zia Nov 2015
For so long have I kept stuff,
Hid them to myself,
So people don't see my pain,

So many times have I tried telling you,
But the words just don't seem to form,
My lips are sealed for I don't know how long,

I cried for so long,
My hatred made me wail in pain,
My dark side hidden and a secret,

I still try telling you,
But what's the point when I'm scared,
And you refuse to see the wrong,

Now I repent wishing I'd told you earlier,
Scared now to tell you,
I'll be scarred with this dark secret for life.

No intrusion
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2017
An excruciating solace in her words
the sharpness of which cuts me through
a drop of blood is all that there is
its a family thing they'd say,

I try to break through
leaping forward to observe the wound
a poignant wave of terror swoons
the harshness in her expression could be the reason to undo the two,

To mend and bring back
i tried my utmost to seek through words
to beseech the two
and they pushed me saying let there be no one to intrude as it was a family feud.

Frustration
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
Frustration was killing me from the inside,
My organs rupturing,
Out of control I was,
Roped by my wrists confined in,
I was disguised to extreme,
Hiding me to stop,
Vexation arises,
Making me **** mice,
Mice which scurry away from me,
One, dead,
Two, dead,
Three-
fled,
What the heck !

Scarred words
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
A soft whisper-y breeze,
A collateral hurricane,
When sanity swirls and swoops in haste,
Wind cuts in and takes my words away,
My words flow through the ocean and over the mountainous ranges,
And reaches you in the exact same state as I say,
Shaken voice and unsure words,
But delivered in utmost and utter-able ways,
Tides carry back your message to me,
A bird too, preferably
But those words so hurtful,
So painful,
That a part of me just died inside !

Speaking of sorrow,
Speaking of pain,
My heart aches constantly for you my dear,

I have experienced deceit,
People shatter me repeatedly,
A broken trust and a lonesome soul,

My unendurable scars,
My shallowness-
Sinks me in my own depth,

Speaking of sorrow,
Speaking of pain,
My heart aches constantly for you my dear.

Months
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
Cold, windy breeze of December,
The snow blankets of January
Sharing hearts and chocolates in February
And waiting for the cold to exterminate in March
April comes along fooling and ridiculing people
And May just comes and goes in haste
June and July the ultimate breaker of heat and lethargic activities
August brings in fall, with variable petals and leaves here and there
September just like May ends in haste
Bringing spring in October
In November it dies and blows cold winds subsequently leading to December.

Realization
Arfah Afaqi Zia Apr 2018
Darkness is what evicts my oh-so-cold soul,
anger and sorrow drips from within me,
my heart pitch black drips hate;
drenched in my coldness my scars ignite,
my skin slit and wounded consistently,
my abhor towards you increments,
if only you knew the pain you afflicted me with,
i take down the path to make you pay,
to regret on your doings,
a revenge not through actions,
preferably my silence,
my lack of expression and my ignorance towards you,
for you put me through so much agony-
that i had to sequester myself from the world,
and shut down all my emotions and extracted out my joy,
now i hope for you to learn from your mistakes,
for my avoidance and silence will make you realize my worth!
263 · Nov 2015
I mean it
Arfah Afaqi Zia Nov 2015

A slot which I'm sure is only for me,
So in response to that I'd just like to say,
I love you to eternity !

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.

Loveee
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
Captivating smile,
Engrossing all my attention,

I had no such intentions,
As to pursue him,

But it was that smile,
Entrancing and sensual,

His words so replete,
They make me gullible,

Your precious and enchanting presence,
Important to me.

Let
Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2017
Let
Let not be rebuked
by what the society says,

Let yourself spark
and ignite like the incandescent light in a dark room,

Let there be words of wisdom
let others minds be blown away,

Let not despair stab you
or the crude harsh words back you down,

Be the guiding light of your tunnel
because it's you who can help yourself,

Of tyranny and brutality
let not your pride hurt someone's ego,

Let not others deceit break you down
always remember that every scar has an even deeper lesson to it!

Once every ending year
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jan 2017
Unsure of my faith,
I take down to the path that's vague,
Where there's paradox and limitless clues-
That somehow intervene these strings of hope,
Loops and knots assemble one by one that cause recurrent pain,
Shadowed by the blanket of darkness,
Illuminated by the edge of dawn,
A low sigh escapes,
Breathless and outdated-
Remorse lurks behind the doors of ache,
Ready to be set free once every ending year

Anger
Arfah Afaqi Zia Nov 2015
His dumb witted brain,
No clarity in what he says,
Bossing around like I'm his slave,
What does he think I am?
What does he want to prove?
I'm not his servant
nor his
maid,
He can't tell me what to do,
Boss me around the way he usually does,
Obstinate, selfish
spoiled brat,
I can do whatever I feel like.

Ludicrous
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
His idiocy infuriates me,
He is always trying to ridicule with people,
Thinking he can win all respect.

The way he talks,
He puts me in paradox,
Thank God !
I'm impervious to his absurdity.

Falling a prey to his stories,
Would be a fault,
Don't want to believe his sarcasm,
Because all it gets me is wroth !

My demons
Arfah Afaqi Zia May 2016
How enticing were you, my dear,
How beautiful was our love,
Drowning in the river of despair,
Taking in might from everywhere,
I look into your glistened eyes,
'Brace yourself', I say as I walk away,

Before this I was the one who would say,
'Please don't go away',
And you would say,
'Love changes with time',
I would cry for you to stay,
But you would not even look back to stare,

My abhor for you rejuvenates,
My heart frail though my emotions fade,
You come back to me in realization that you'd made a mistake,
But i guess embracing our love will put my heart at stake,
Shaken by our long lost love,
I take down the path where my demons are caged and ready to escape.

My heart  sinks in abyss,
My lungs stiffen,
And my brain stops,
Delirious is my soul,

Unshaken memories,
Pained and mortifying me,
My life ruined,
But as i seek, i pursue peace,

Such a deep hole,
Dripping blood from this drenched soul,
Cold as ice and hot as a stove,
Trying to mend this scar to heal as soon as he comes home.

Inescapable
Arfah Afaqi Zia Dec 2017
Feels like just yesterday
i realized my presence, a shadow
i merely let this shadow conquer me
i let my voice stay within myself, regardless of my rights
i let people manipulate me

i hid my feelings
i stopped my tears
i remained aloof from my heart
never understood what it was trying to convey
just listened to my brain, how selfish

i am what i was 8 years ago
dead from within
distant from sorrow and reckless with my heart
my soul cold and resistant to words of love
in actual i am reliving my past, have been and always will!
Can't overcome my grudges and forget my mistakes,
I have guilt and regrets,
Basically broken and astray.

Of a perpetual romance, unutterable.

I will refute your thoughts,
Shun every word you say,
And break all the rules,
Because we both know I'm already astray,

I get caught up in my wistfulness,
But that's all because I'm mortified of what people will say,
My sanity loosens it's hold around me,
These once unbreakable chains now set free,

Two ends that may never meet,
This is more than just an affair,
It's a story of love and hate,
Lust and escape,

Innumerable times have i said i love you,
Countless times you've said the same,
But now I feel as if it was all in vain,
The flame we ignited burned everything in its way and left us with nothing but pain.

The rhythm at which my blood flows
Through my veins
It doesn't reach at halts
Commodious valves open
Giving way
With each droplet
Encased is my love
For he who doesn't care
I feel absurd and doltish in so many ways
Ever since the day you've casted a spell on me
My mind plays tricks
Uncontrollable urges dwell in my soul
Wanting more from you
But you just don't want it all
Ignoring all the love you's
And leaving me alone
What is it that I have done
For you to hate me so much
But then again
I don't have the gut to ask you this question
Because like the love you's I've wasted on you
You will ignore this question
And exterminate this query out of your brain.

Now gone
Arfah Afaqi Zia Nov 2015
Words cut deep inside her flesh,
Her eyes drip salt trailing down her cheek,
Before he would come and stop it from dripping off her cheek,
Now she has no one to stop them as they shed,

Her heart breaks reminiscing the times she spent with him,
Weak and careless she feels not being rectified,
Before he would be near and escalate her heartbeat,
Now her heart merely beats abyss through her veins,

Her wounded arms feels him grasp her,
Deprived they are of his touch and scarred all over with blood dripping down,
Before he would trace the veins down her arm making her skin ache for more,
Now she feels empty thinking when he would come back.
For my best friend. She lost the man she loves :'(

You, you and you
Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2018
An awfully long period that we spent apart
wasn't as easy as it seems
but how easy is it for others
to say their side of goodbyes

I love you irrevocably
from the beginning till now
your presence, your everything
its lightens up my day

there's something about you
that keeps me from losing you
could probably be a restless soul
or could be the time we have had together wrapped in each others arms

once hesitant to fall in love
now it feels like eternity with you
though distant yet you reside in my heart
as I drift deep into my thoughts all that my lips ever speak about is you, you and you!

Heart break
Arfah Afaqi Zia Nov 2015
I vow to that day,
If I ever found you somewhere,
Devastated and hurt,
I'd come and console you before you break in tears

This was the promise you made,
Now look where it took us,
You fled away,
Leaving me to myself in tears,

I will love you forever,
Till the day I stay,
Never will I let a drop fall,
Because you are my life forever more

If this was your definition of everlasting love,
Then I'd rather shove all of it away,
Find myself somewhere else,
Hiding myself in a dark place,

I will always support you no matter what,
Never will you receive any sorrow,
You are precious to me,
And you're my eternity,*

These were the last lines I ever remember,
The next thing I remember is you left,
Breaking all promises you never kept,
My mental and physical pain you should know is because of you and your ***** little lies that I embraced
The italic highlights are his words.

Seldom do I stand,
Mostly fall in my own hopelessness,

For what I've been seeking for,
But never sure if its true.

But now I just take a pill or two,
And sleep in traquility.
