Naveed Akram Poems

The horses of light are the beds of humanity,
They shine and record the ideas of men who bleed,
Like the hissing of snakes and the prancing of ponies.
Widows have been collapsed by the trains
...

Vagabonds are eruptive on this island
Like its crater, the volcano wobbles uncontrolled!
Bigeminal beasts take trips on this isle,
Anatomy making an appearance.
...

The brightness of the sun is like that of the moon,
Your innocence married with your soul:
You spiritually healed the sick, helped a poor man,
Collected taxes, spent danger, and kept safety.
...

The brownness of a rider and his horse carried his horse,
A major and great horsemanship approached the brown horse.
There was magnetism, speech of behaviour, with the horseman
Who was riding his animal of great pleasurableness.
...

Death has a step over the line I call home,
Home shall remain a constant danger now.
Heaven is a dangerous country we live in,
Hell is the light of darkness, of everything.
...

Love carries strength upon the spring of strength,
In motion, this surrender worked length.
A bird appals my soul of stronger cells,
Fresh stings commence like thoughts of steel and hells.
...

In these days you surrender to a friend,
When does the turning-point reach you?
Mighty are ships of stone that had sunk,
They were built by those in moods of highness.
...

Your belly aches from too much food,
Eating this likened your mood like fire melts wood.
The belly hurts from the compulsions,
The food of life angers my soul like dirt.
...

Will nobody swiftly move in front of me?
This obstacle you are is like a bird in flight.
Travelled by the wind, easier than a wing,
This tragic loss negates my allowable happiness.
...

This sad summer sun is too small in brightness,
It fades towards the other end of the day,
Loathing it requires patience, of the highest order,
Facing me is this weather, of sunlight and light rain,
...
