The passing days,
Have not but altered my slot,
My place in your heart, gone,
You seem to like someone else with more want,

Her eyes deep,
Her touch dainty,
All you speak about is of her,
Her flawless touch and smile enlightened,

What have I done?
What did I do?
For you to hate me so much,
Is it not enough?
To have what you breath,
Than lose everything just to keep in touch,

Because for you,
I can shove all the wonders of this world,
Journey through the stars,
To come near you and tear down the oh so strong walls,

Picking up each and every brick,
One by one I put em up in a huge fort,
Which I solely designed just for you,
Because I love you so much,

My heart yearns for your soul,
To grasp what once was cold,
To somehow get you back and shine with every touch,
A celestial unison which you don't want at all,

What have I done?
What did I do?
For you to hate me so much,
Is it not enough?
To have what you breath,
Than lose everything just to keep in touch,

Because for you,
I can shove all the wonders of the world,
Journey through the stars,
To come near you and tear down the oh so strong walls.

Your love so strong,
Regardless of others accusations,
Its not at all flawed,
It rotates around my universe,
Like a solar system,
The stars on the exterior shine bright,
The black holes form, taking in all the hurt and pain,
Our love is like a big bang,
Exploding into bits,
And growing with each passing day,
Finally evolving into a strong universe,
Bound by all the astronomical objects.
My views slowly fading,
Weaker as they are,
They are brown dwarfs,
Now because of that trust they are
either white or blue dwarf,
The meteors in my heart collide,
Falling like ashen bodies on the earth,
Accelerating with every distance covered,
The fire-y meteors and your love
a beautiful example,
My love is spirited and at height of flames,
To procure you,
By giving you a chance,
As you trapped me in this spell, enchant.
Was studying lol :p

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.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2016
Slowly she fell down on her knees viewing such charm,
The adorn in his rosy red cheeks,
As the sun blazes on his face,
His angelic face,
And a perfect twitch on the corners of his lips,

Those lively gleaming eyes,
The small crackle of cry that escapes his baby pink lips,
The softness of his skin,
The beauty in his features,
And the addicting smell of his flesh,

She breaks into a stream of tears,
She was blessed with such grace,
The journey of her motherhood begins,
She envelopes him gently,
Stroking the bumps on his glowing cheeks,

She never was before gifted with such a heavenly creature,
Those 9 months of holding him in her womb,
The pain she felt,
Such pleasure and worth in this experience,
She sits back after kneeling and thanks God.
You're doing an amazing job <3
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jul 2016
Memories heart rendering
puts a closure to all upbringings and my whereabouts
a redemption of thoughts,

Our togetherness
our time spent together
triggers in emotions and feelings of bliss n' joy,


Years and years of our friendship
the ongoing occurrences
our past, our present and our future, exultant,

Prayers and support
ebullient meetings and exquisite pictures
compels only flashbacks,
  

In unison
we sing songs of our bond
in euphoria we fight the world, two against all.
I love my best friend to bits. She means the world to me <3
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Her sweet and melodious lullabies,
Her delicious and mouthwatering cakes and pies,
Always there to diminish our fears,
Helping and consoling us when we break in tears,
Love and compassion filled in her eyes,
Never creating a relationship based on lies,
Always making tremendous sacrifices,
For those in crisis,
Thank you Grandma for all you have done,
None of us can repay what you have begun !!!!
Love you so much nano... You are my everything <3
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Nowadays what you see everywhere is threats,
Threats to blow up the whole nest,
People in black masks and explosive vests,
Running all over the world to threat,
Killing innocent children and tearing them apart,
Separating them from their families and leaving only memories from their past,
Is this humanity?
Shedding blood to show your ability,
Eradication of these terrorists should be done,
Provoking them to feel the pain they inflicted upon,
Feelings of guilt and betrayal,
Perceiving blood in pools and trails,
Laughter and happiness all fade away,
Leaving behind only depression and decay,
All you can do is pray,
For all these terrorists to pay.....
Some of you are aware of this and some of you aren't... On 16th December 2014, in Aps (a school and college) in Peshawar was blown up by a terrorist group. And many children, as well as teachers lost their lives. It was the most dreadful thing that had happened. Those savages took away a thousands lives. I was very depressed and so I wrote this poem for hope and justice.. May God Almighty make these terrorists pay!!!!
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.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2018
Convinced by the hurtful lies and beliefs of tomorrow
i probe deeper into my thoughts
and find myself fixated at this one incident that haunts me forever
since i was a child i was told that things get better
that times heals your pain
but now i know, it was all just lies
the promises made by people
the reassurance of my companions that they would stay by my side
everything is so clear now, i lost it all
all those poems and quotes that i once never understood
all the lyrics and the untold stories that i grasped from people who were depressed
they all seem now to have clouded my mind
these things were all going to happen
yet, i was ambiguous of the fact that they'd occur
reality is what hit me hard
all my expectations went down the drain leaving nothing, but me frail!
Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2016
The dusty storms of the Sahara,
The Egyptian Pharaoh,
The beautiful pyramids and the precious jewels of Cleopatra,

The deep blue sea,
The rare coral reefs,
An exotic bloom and a swarm of fish,

The marvelous Taj Mahal,
The resplendent minars,
Moonlight irradiates the charm of the building,

The enthralling and engaging Kaaba,
The charismatic surrounding and the soothing sounds of Salah,
Such a heavenly feeling.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jul 2016
Under the moonlight,
He stood mesmerizing the sparkle and glow on her face-

Those beautiful eyes he saw for the first time,
Stole an eternity of charisma,

Her eyes so electric and enticing,
Opened up all the secret passages in his heart,

Under the moonlight,
He stood mesmerizing the sparkle and glow on her face-

Her eyes held so much intensity,
That they could drown anyone who would look at them,

Her gaze melted him from the inside,
And yearned for her attention,

Under the moonlight,
He stood mesmerizing the sparkle and glow on her face-
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.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Apr 2017
I was told the first time you lay your eyes on me,
It was not attraction it was love,

I was told about things you hadn't felt before,
For i was the reason that made you feel more alive,

But this time if something happens to me,
I'd say I'd be the reason of your salvation!
Arfah Afaqi Zia Feb 2016
How attainable have my dreams been;
I thought with such fervor,
Procuring your love has always been my hope,

Now that I have you,
I feel like my life goals are complete,
Just your company that has me heaped and showered,

My infatuation that i thought i had,
But it's more than just an obsession,
I'll devour to encase our love exquisitely,

I love a lot, indeed
But believe me when i say i love you,
I know you're the one,

The others who may have come,
Swept past my conscience leaving me appalled,
At that time, I may be blind but i knew they were not the holdbacks or keepers I intend to stay with.
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....

I have seen the stars twinkle,
The rainbow colors,
But one thing I haven't seen is me and you in a rainy weather.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Loyal,
Sincere,
Trust worthy,
There seems to be no word in this world that doesn't describe your qualities,

You are my love,
My heart,
I call you my, 'kapoochikin'.
Though embarrasing,
But cute.

My love for you is like;
Stars sparkling in the sky.

This poem is quite awkward,
But you know I'm very straight forward,

So my friend lets finish this poem with the usual trend,
We are best friends forever and ever,
Till the world ends !
I wrote this for my best friend. The love of my life <3
Till death sets us apart ;)
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
How can someone become so ;
Hopeless ?
Not knowing their abilities.
Or,
Talent as well, maybe.

Confused and mortified by society.
I wonder,
How you can move on.

Not even trying,
You keep saying the same thing.

She left you !
So what ?
Keep your head in the game.

Aim to be the best.
Then,
Be the best !
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
It may seem all that good,
But love in its way says,
Keep away !!

Never get caught up in this wistfulness,
For love is a matter of haste and betrayal.  
BEWARE !
All that glitters aint gold...
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
Beyond this horizon,
Across the valleys,
I come to thee
In search of peace and prosperity,
Atop the moon,
And the galaxy,
There resides nothing
But lonely stars,
Moving in voyage
As scattered apart.
The milky way,
So dark,
Whirls in circles
Like scar.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Petal by petals shed,
Each petal holds bits of my soul,
The day it all sheds of this rose,
There will be no rose and no soul,
You'll cry then,
And there will be no one to attest.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Sep 2015
Belligerence,
Loathsome remarks,
Abhorrent attitude,
Sacrilege behavior,
Profaning sacred places,
Hatred in their eyes,
Excavating a hole in hearts of innocent souls,
Mentoring these people to leave religion,
Y**es this all happened back then.
An Islamic religious story from the past when it was very hard to keep up with religion.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jan 2016
The beauties of this world,
The growing shrubs and herbs,
The poppy plants and the sunflowers,
The different shades of leaves,
The number of fruits,

The mountains,
The oceans,
The seas,
The rivers,
And the streams,

Have you ever imagined with such perfection, whether you could create?
Such big and majestic beings,
Such mechanism and synchronization,
Such effects and treatments,
Thank Allah for His blessings.
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.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Drenched in his blood I stood up staring at his dead body,
Holding a ****** knife in my hand,
For a minute not aware of what I had done,
Stains of blood on my shirt made me ****,
I had committed a ******,
Not feeling any guilt though,
I dragged his corpse to the end of the street,
Looking around to see if anybody was watching,
In the snow,
I started digging up a hole,
As I finished I shoved the body in the cold,
Giving final touches to the grave,
I left,
Without staring back I took off on my car,
Momentarily I came across a bar,
Forcing my body through the entrance I asked for a glass of water,
I took out a pen and my note pad ignoring my whereabouts,
In this callous place this what, so far I write......
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Happy,
Determined,
Excited !
Don't know how to express my happiness.
My first book !
I'm going to publlish my first book.
Yipeeeeeee !!!!!
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 Aug 2015
The church bells chime,
Suddenly the door flew open,
There came my gorgeous bride,
In an embroided white dress,
A veil on her face,
Red lipstick on,
She walks down the aisle,
Her father gives me her hand and leaves,
The reverand speaks a few verses,
But when we share our vows,
I was so stocked and there was so much I could've said,
But I had to stop myself.
I thank God that you came in my life,
You are my angel,
That sparkled my life.
I'm not married people... Its just a poem :p
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
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.
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!
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2016
Let me savor each and everytime,
In this world-
That's going to destruct one day,
Vandalize each and everyone or thing important to me,
Let me savor each and everytime in it !

It's been long since I've found something to intrigue me,
It's been quite a while-
Having ups and downs,
My heart breaks and wails,
So poignant and reminiscing are those episodes,
At times I feel so low-
Fall down in my own sorrow,
And spill tears in abyss,

But now I say;
Let me savor each and everytime,
In this world-
That's going to destruct one day,
Vandalize each and everyone or thing important to me,
Let me savor each and everytime in it !
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
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.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jan 2018
Covered in bruises
a face shadowed by guilt and shame
why was I to blame?

a trail of what seemed to be nightmares
actually flashbacks of my despair
not my fault, yet I was to blame

it all started with naivety
soon reached its peak taking away my innocence
not fully but mere, yet I was to blame

if I had the chance to speak
to shed tears of agony and regret of not recognizing the criminal
I would do so, yet I'd be the one to blame

you'll never know what it feels like
you'll never know the dread and horror
a ghastly monster that resides within him, yet I'd be the one to blame!
This society blames the pain of an individual to be self propagated. So many men and women go through awful events but if they speak publicly about it, they are given no voice. Which is why, all kinds of barbaric acts are being committed by so many people everyday. So many women, men and children *****, tortured and harassed but all acts of vengeance are diffused to nil. Why????? How many more should be a victim to this? When will all this stop? When will the guilty be avenged?
Bye
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
Bye
I bid him adieu,
Leaving him on the stairs,
He called after me to stop,
But I kept moving away from sight,
Now no one could change my mind,
For I have changed my likes,
Once he neglects,
Then comes by,
Thinking everything was alright,
This is no game,
It's now a reason for me to hate,
You and your presence disgust me,
So please shove away !
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Now
that we're
talking about
calamity,
Let's
talk about
war !

The
raging conflicts,
And crazy politics.
They have left nations
disrupted.

Killing innocent children,
Taking
away so much.
Leaving scars  behind,
But
no feelings.
Just
heartless !

What has been
done?
To bring about such
malicious forms.

Disputes over
territories,
Disagreements over
contracts,
Does it all matter ?

What is it
with people ?
People have
lost control.

Slaughtering people;
As if,
nothing matters.
Perceiving blood
in pools.
Nasty !

We have got to stop !
And minimize
terror and bloodshed.
So that people can
live their lives in
tranquility....
The world needs to change....
Arfah Afaqi Zia Mar 2018
A burdened soul has nothing but tears to shed,
A grieving heart has nothing but years to bear,
Pain so poignant that it can shatter a once promising future,
Reluctant to speak to others, it's only isolation that one needs,
Somewhere in the darkness, a corner where one can lurk and only encounter their silhouette,
But to fight this pain God is all we need,
He resides amongst us and within us,
Rather than sharing sorrow with others it's Him who can heal us,
It's His love for us that we need and that can make us go through this pain,
When in despair, call out His name,
He will respond when there's no one there.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Nov 2015
White pearly skin,
Red blazing lips,
Deep greyish blue eyes,

Her alluring touch,
Her walking style,
Seducts him and captivates his eyes,
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.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
I told him I stand nowhere,
He said donot fear,
I say I have lost hope,
He insisted I don't let go of the rope,
What he doesn't know is that I'm no good,
Still he believes in me,
Don't know why is that so,
He thinks I should go with the flow,
Deep down I do know he is right,
Because someday he feels I will be touching a height,
That someday might be near,
So I guess I should hold in the fear,
He says I should accept the challenge,
Although I still know I have no talent,
Let's see what I become,
The challenge has now begun .......
I get all thankless at times. I mean I know my poetry isn't that good. So one of my friend encouraged me that I should be proud of my talent. So this is what I write as a reply ;)
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.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
A life they see,
Through their eyes,
Butterflies they see,
Fly in peace,

Their own lives not at peace,
Branded with whips,
Cut with knives,
Treated worse than animals,

Food so cold,
So raw,
Tasteless and sickening,
Have you ever dreamt of such a life?

Think about the other million,
Those who donot survive,
No food, no shelter, just pain,
Pray for the lot and bring about a change.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
God has given me a soul,
That extracts the cold,
And turns everything to gold.
Alchemy resides within me.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Sitting from horse to horse,
I find joy and exhilaration,
Having to control the reins,
Adjusting the saddle
Glancing at the mirror,
Holding a whip and wearing boots,
Musters up the feeling of enthusiasm,
Learning and connecting with the horse,
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
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Writing.....
It gives me peace,
It makes me feel at ease,
Comfort and love
Not a question
Its better than eating and sleep.
Whilst writing I feel free,
To write anything I like,
No one to consent,
No one to condemn.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2016
Trembling words
escape his mouth
like piercing needles poke me
harsh and cold words
come out of his mouth

But I don't grieve
on his words
the depth and sharpness may be incurable
but as imprudent as I am
I ignore his flaws and love him relentlessly.
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.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
If I ever lost my way,
I'd pull out my compass of love,
And navigate you right away,

The distance far, far away,
Afar this universe,
Beyond this horizon,

I'd still find you,
Walk miles in search of you,
Just to get near you,

If I ever lost my way,
I'd pull out my compass of love,
And navigate you right away,

My love for you is divine,
The moons strength or the downward pull of gravity,
Nothing is as strong and trending as my love and desire for you,

My compassion and caress,
It will wipe away all your excruciating and gruesome pain,
Forming only clouds and letting it rain,

If I ever lost my way,
I'd pull out my compass of love,
And navigate you right away.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2015
Was I that bad?
Not worthy for thee.

What is it that I have done?
That makes you hate me,

Your words cut me deep,
Tripping over myself,

My heart aching,
Every inch of my body throbs,

The places you touched,
Incomplete without you.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jul 2016
I let fire burn bits of my past,
Let the flame touch each edge n corner of my assumed fate,
The texture of ash swirls with the wind,
Moving to a place that no longer exists,
For I have banished your entry in my brain,
The very thought of you disgusts me,
It was only I who ignored all your attitude,
Were it for someone else, she'd already have smacked you in the face,
It was only I who was crazy enough to say,
'It's okay we'll just be friends',
Were it for someone else she would've shoved those words on your face.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Give me a reason,
Give me a reply,
Let us go in suit and tie.
Women from here,
Women from there,
Long hair,
Or short hair.
Never seen something so rare !
