If I ever had the chance to sketch a portrait,
I'd sketch a portrait of you,
Your beady grey eyes,
Your jawline,
So definite,
Your smile,
Your hair,
So surreal and breath taking.
You are perfection,
And the  best piece of art I could ever draw.
If you detect any mistake please tell me right away.

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.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Oct 2017
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!

crumpled in a corner,
slavery and savagery strikes him hard,
on his body marked
and scarred,
bruises increment linearly down his back,

whipped not once,
not twice, not thrice,
innumerable times,
his body aches and trembles in pain,
****** tears shed as he prays,

gazing in the sky,
he seeks for help,
cries for his mother,
an infant is he,
taken away by barbarity and atrocity,

'mama' he screams in pain,
'where are you?' he keeps shouting,
the murderers keep striking, keep slicing,
slowly killing each child,
causing pain and tortuously straining,

crawling towards the end of the street,
beyond the wall he lurks,
the arising pain seems to augment,
as he controls himself trying not to cause distraction,
silently sobbing for God to help,

he knows this is the last of the city,
corpse's lay in each street,
with blood streaming in drains,
burnt houses, beheaded children,
in the whole city bodies lay either restless or awaiting for their souls to be taken away.

A few years back,
I used to look like a hag,

Dark circles,
Plain cheeks,

Messy long hair,
No sleek,

Shaggy clothes,
All creased,

Now, penciled eyes,
Powdered face ( not literally ),

Short hair,
Neat ponytail ( I'm almost there ),

Branded clothes,
Gucci, Dior, Chanel and many more,

Red lips,
Ready to glaze,

Trendy clothes in my closet,
Still yearning for more,

Shoes of all kinds,
Heels, sneakers and boots,

How time passes,
Transforming into puberty.

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?

Life is like a rose. Once all the petals shed, you lose your life or even more, when the rose isn't taken care of it will die of thirst which in our world is referred to as sickness and then ultimately, death !

Arfah Afaqi Zia May 2016
Never let love blind you. People are cruel and this world is a very harsh place to live in. Be happy with what little you have.
Arfah Afaqi Zia May 2016
A true gentleman tells you what wrong you've done and doesn't do something against your will, rather than abusing you or manipulating you.

Eyes seek beauty and enchant in soul not a persons face.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jun 2016
People only approach you once they want something in return, after that they ignore you.

It is hard to forget who you once were, who you once loved and what you wanted to become, but love stands out the rest giving hope!

A strong person always excels in what he/she does rather than crying and saying, 'I feel hopeless'.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Nov 2016
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.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jan 2016
Our life is like a hurricane. For a second you’re living the dream and the other you lose everything.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jan 2016

Your family backgrounds can be full of surprises you don’t know about, yet.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jan 2016
Individuality is not what sets you apart from others, it's the nature and the ability to fit in.
Not everyone can bond well :p
Arfah Afaqi Zia Jan 2016
Looks and money don't define a personality. It's the heart that does.

Rain has poured on-
Leaving destruction and pain,
Let us help and pray
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
Oh no baby, don't cry.
I shudder to think what will happen to I.
Wrote this for my best friend when she was sad :p

A gushing trail of tears drip down my face
from my sore cheeks to my nape
a pool of sorrows builds up within my poignant heart
i am what i feared to become
a self-claimed loner!
a suffice amount of people surround me
who show me their compassion and spark me their love
but i don't get why that it doesn't excite me
i once was juvenile and strong
now because of repeated deceit and abdication
i have become frail
sometimes the world seems not to accept me or my flaws
vindictive people encircle me
some apparent, some obscure
what is it that entices me?
how can i repair my wounds
and erase the paradoxical or frightful thoughts about tomorrow?
i am either stuck in my past or my future
how do people move on?
i live to see the day where i see at least one individual who is free from pain
i have yet to come across one, who hasn't shed a tear
who isn't aloof from the madness of this world
and hasn't seen the darkness within themselves erupt
i wish to see one
because i hear my mother say that no one can change how your mind thinks  
despite their help, they too are as wounded and troubled as us
i rethink this question, knowing that it is true
i deny these statements
but sadly in reality it is true.

the breaker!
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!
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
After giving a thought to it,
I have come across a conclusion.
And,
Its no other than me going;
Rogue !

Or maybe,
Just maybe,
Rebellious

Red
Mysteries ?
Yes, mysteries unsolved.
Have you ever experienced such a phenomena ?
Last night I went to an elegant ball,
I chatted with a dozen women in the corner of the hall,
Never have I seen something so ravishing as her,
Raven hair hanging loose,
A woman in red dress.
Her alluring gaze,
That just swept my feet of the floor.
I walked to where she was,
Shoving the crowd aside,
I arrive at my destination,
And she's gone !
Where could she have been ?
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.
Arfah Afaqi Zia May 2017
The problem was not us,
The problem was not what the society said,
The problem was in you,

You had immensely broke me,
Not once, not twice,
You broke me many times reduntantly,

You always said it's us against all,
You always deluded me with thoughts of forever,
You said you loved me yet your actions never showed,

All you ever did was lie to me,
Your deceit scarred me,
You were gone.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Aug 2015
I've always been slightly frail,
A little doltish as well
If I must say!

Reckless and careless,
I stumble;
on my feet not ready to support myself.

Going in a trance,
An ugly yet beautiful trance.

What am I to do?
If gravity pulls me
towards him.

Again and again,
Why?
I keep making the same mistake.

Falling for someone so recalcitrant,
So demanding
and absurd.

Now that he has left,
I feel;
different.
Not at ease though
But,
just different.

Wondering to myself,
An appropriate word for it.

Oh yes !
I know now
What it is.
Regretful !
