Arfah Afaqi Zia Dec 2016
Seldom do I stand,
Mostly fall in my own hopelessness,
Out of desire I shed tears,
Shatter'd my heart bears pain,
I surrender in the name of love;
For what I've been seeking for,
But never sure if its true.
I was searching for a sign to confirm an all knowing feeling
When I realized distance is as much man-made as time
Arfah Afaqi Zia Dec 2016
Life moves on in haste,
Fathom and untold to us,
Beguiled by lovers,
Tranquil by serenity,
What life holds is a void,
Untouched and hollow that needs to be filled,
By happiness and joy,
By greetings and foy,
Life is filled with secrets,
Jewels and tales of yesterday,
Some of passion, some of regret
We grow up listening to all of this,
Learning from these and also experiencing,
As life moves on in haste.
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.
Arfah Afaqi Zia Dec 2016
Startled and horrified by society,
A silhouette of a petrified soul crumples in the darkest corner of the night,
In tears and remorse,
With slit arms and blood flowing through each wound,
Droplets of tears and blood drip, forming a pool of water n' rust,
The scars on her heart deepen and stain her body,
The dark circles under her pale eyes, moist,
An urge to smoke or drink escapes her lips as a sigh,
Not caring about what's harmful and what's not,
Just a sip or a puff of smoke can shackle all her hurt,
Vandalized from within,
Completely shut and worn out-
Thanks to one mistake they take her innocence away,
An unforgetful dread, a frightful nightmare!
Arfah Afaqi Zia Nov 2016
I will forever be yours,
Chained and engraved-
By the powerful knots of love,
The fiery burst and the irrevocable words,
They leave me baffled and in paradox;
For I love you, indeed,

Your electric touch,
And your warmth,
It drives me crazy-
Leading me out of my past,
My ghastly, terrorizing past, you drag me out from,
Knowing how much you mean to me.
