Zia Mar 2020
We were audacious
But never ostentatious
He was definitely flirtatious
He explained, I was curvaceous
He couldn’t help but feel salacious
I was going to say, oh Lord Jesus
But I’m not religious
Besides, his kind of dangerous
was very contagious
I couldn’t help but feel rapacious
Zia May 2019
I don’t do moon and stars
I’m not good at metaphors
I’m not what you call a romantic
That said, I’m no less enthusiastic
When I give, I don’t count
And when I take, there’s no discount
Don’t question my kindness
Don’t look for my weakness
By your side I’ll stay
As long as you don’t stray
You’ll be mine
Until ends time
Zia Feb 2020
No matter how many times
the voice in my head comes up
with reasons to leave
my heart whispers
“Stay. Don’t give up.”
Zia Mar 2020
As I walked away from you
My heart was breaking into pieces
Knowing that I was hurting you
For you turned out to be just another one of my vices

As I walked away
On my mind, a slide of your face
Creasing in pain (or disdain?)

It was child’s play
Nodding to your lies with a straight face
I had to pull the chain

So today
You left me no choice but to grace
you with the truth you thought inane

And as I walked away
I crossed your name off the master race
And out of my brain
Zia Mar 2020
She likes playing with words
Builds beautiful sentences
He likes playing with dolls
Breaks them into pieces
It won't work, it won't work
People smirk
Another love story
Out of the ordinary
She didn't care
Emotions laid bare
To him she whispered
"Give me your word
Promise to love me
Before you destroy me"
Zia May 2019
i’m scared to pray
even when things
don’t go my way
i know I’ll pay
for the times i stray
i keep pushing
it all away
thinking ‘come what may,
He’ll still give
me another day’
Zia May 2019
Trying to break out of the mould
that our society has imposed
I don’t want to grow old
with a blindfold
Zia Jun 2020
You came as a surprise
And made me realise
that on earth there’s paradise
I just have to look in your eyes
and feel how blessed am I
Zia May 2019
ignorance is what my mind seeks
when i learn of the secrets he keeps
Zia Aug 2018
For him my heart races
Wearing nothing but laces
I wait for his embrace
It’s written all over my face
I want to go places
No airs and graces
I want it all in uppercase
‘Tis time to unlace...

Zia May 2019
All this time
I thought
our souls reached
out to each other
But I now realise
it was our circumstances
that got us close
and as time moved on
you did too
Zia Feb 2020
We’re told we don’t fit
What do they know
but a lil bit?
From where we sit
You and I know it
We’re in it
‘til the last spit
Zia Jun 2019
Time hasn’t been kind
to what’s on my mind
especially you who I find
hard to leave behind
Zia Jun 2020
I think of you very often
of what could have been
if I hadn’t left back then
We had a great between
I think of how it all began
and how it had to end
You are the only has-been
that would have been
more than it had been
were we given
more than a min
I can only imagine!
Zia Feb 2020
I try to escape from the rhymes
But they find me between the lines
Words jump out from conversations
My trigger to articulated aspirations
I promise them a new sentence
Some agree with reluctance
While you are building castles
I'm writing down time capsules
Zia Mar 2020
If there was a better half of me
It could only be you and no one else
Don’t you know I am my best
Only when you’re next to me?
Zia May 2019
there are days
when i sit in daze
in my mind, on repeat
a phrase
is it a phase
or is it the start
of a maze?
i look for ways
to get out unscathed
it doesn’t work, not always
Zia Jun 2019
you'll never go any higher
if after every time
your knees fold under
you don't get up as a fighter
Zia Apr 2020
We were two peas in a pod
Trying to beat the odds
Because we didn’t pray
to the same god
People called us frauds
But couldn’t they see
they were as much flawed
as us two broads?
Zia Aug 2018
The freedom
To be awesome
To be my best version
is borne out of inspiration
Pushed by motivation

As I simply gawk
At a flying flock

On graceful wings
Against heavy winds
They soar and spin
My heart sings
At this magnificent sighting
Must be God’s blessings
To us all, human beings...
Zia Jun 2019
withered flowers
my heart in tatters
there goes my forever
Zia Mar 2020
You lived in my teenage dreams
Nothing has changed, it seems
Your face always dominates
Every time my mind illustrates
You’re still stuck in my head
Even when my heart lies in a new bed
Zia Jun 2019
numerous times
I’ve thought of
the many times
you didn’t care
enough to
check on me
for old times’ sake
Zia May 2019
he opened the cage
and let me out
only to catch me
in his clout
Zia Aug 2018
I swam in high seas
I climbed tall trees
I walked on hot coals
Walked out of black holes
I betrayed my demons
They gave me good reasons
I snatched awards
Not for rewards
And now I stand in front of you
Feeling brand new
Heart on my sleeve
You best believe
Zia Mar 2020
I didn't think twice
for which I paid the price
Aiming for new heights
I now select my fights
Zia Jan 2020
It used to hurt
to think about you
but now I smile
because I knew you
for a while
Zia Mar 2020
I walked away, weak
I looked ahead, bleak
I endured pain, strong
I thought of dying, wrong
I built over, alone
I started smiling, milestone
I laugh and live, selfish
I’m not looking back, you wish
Zia Jun 2019
I wish I could write down
how you make me feel
but I’m scared I’d go back
to it every now and then
and remember...
Zia May 2019
despite my mess
you gave me your best
until my eyes rest
i'll remember your kindness
Zia May 2019
With soft kisses
He reduces my ire to pieces
Stacks them in little parcels
Embellished by beautiful tassels
Sends them flying like peaceful angels
Zia Jun 2019
Of poetry
and prose
his words
remind me
Every time
we talk
I bloom
like a rose
Zia Oct 2018
To let it all go
and let it all flow
before I lose my glow
he adds as if he know
I need to take a mo
for I to further grow
Over to him I tiptoe
and I say, no
I’m not chasing rainbows
I bloom through tornadoes
Zia Jul 2019
before you came it was hell
with you i'd hoped it'd go well
but it didn't last, the spell
all you've left behind is a shell
on it i will no longer dwell
consider this as my farewell
Zia Aug 2019
Not that I can’t
but I simply won’t
until you can
then I shall...
Zia Feb 2020
As easily as the sun sets every day
I wish I could break away
From you who are holding me prisoner
From you who promised me happy-ever-after
The gold has finally faded
and I now feel jaded  
I believed by staying I was strong
but now I know I’m so wrong
I need that first step
that’s the only way I’m going up
By leaving you behind
Banish you from my mind
Remove you from my heart
A new life I’ll start
Zia Mar 2020
You only care
when I lie bare
on your bed
my legs spread
you shout, honey
I’ll make you happy
but we both know
all you want is a blow
until then you’ll pretend
that you care until the end
Zia Feb 2020
My knight had no armour
nor did he come on a horse
he knocked on my door
bare chest and in shorts
Zia Apr 2020
You only care
when I lie, bare
on your bed
my legs spread
you shout, honey
I’ll make you happy
but we both know
all you want is a blow
until then you’ll pretend
that you care until the end
Zia Jul 2019
Don’t bury your love under a pile of words
Many battles had been won with swords
I’m not saying you should be like warlords
But get out there with all of your cards
It’s not a game you play to collect rewards
The only things you gotta **** are your own guards
and finally speak of what is in your heart
Zia May 2019
the less I say
the more you lie
the more you play
the less I sigh
the more you betray
the less I cry
why don’t you go away
I’m not going to ask why
Zia May 2019
i've carried life inside me
yet find it a mystery
life that is
an odd quiz
one with questions
and no explanation
am i to only bask
and not ask?
Zia May 2019
I finally stuffed my qualms
in my oh! so sweaty palms
I walked up to you
and I said I do too

Never looked back
Anyway it all looks black
I only see colors
since touch did our fingers
Zia Jul 2019
Between cups of kisses
He and I put back the pieces
Left by past lovers
Out of caprice
Aborted missions
We carried fissures
Regretting old wishes
He and I swore, no more guises
Only sweet promises
For every sunrise
That blesses our eyes
Zia May 2019
“Drifted apart”
were two words
we’d never thought
would apply to us
You said, “Never!”
and I said
“Never ever say never”.
You laughed. I shrugged.
Now we’re worst than strangers.
We don’t even say hello
to each other.
Zia Jan 2020
One beautiful story
you and i weaved
for all to see
so they could believe
Zia Mar 2020
The whispers from her yesterdays
haunt her everydays
turning her tomorrows
into sorrows
Zia Jun 2019
Your loving gaze
Like sun rays
Thawed my cold heart
I thought I was falling apart
Nothing made sense
Until you touched my hands
How could that be?
Such power over me?
I looked into your eyes
In mine you saw the whys
But what I saw in yours
Took away my fears
Zia Jan 2020
i try
to grab
at the fading
memories
of us
but they float away
away from me
just like you did
