Naveed Akram Poems

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 passport to the past centres on distinctions
Because your door is free, like freedom itself.
A cucumber tasted is tested for its nutrition,
An orange will be sour, and different.
...

A ship in the stars is roaming around,
Opening work for the very brave.
We shoot those in the stars with stars,
Like a bullet at a heart.
...

Nobody knows, nobody begets a being
So wonderful as the soul we own and adore;
Gravely, a sound uttered is a sound fulfilling,
For we wear the clothes of abundance.
...

These are the poems of dignity of overall nature,
I am trying to be both wise and clear, sudden and livid,
So that behaviour entraps the onlooking crowd,
And stagnates an individual within who looks at you
...

Not his word, not the name of his
Resides in the minds of elders.
Seas of laughter, wonderful voices
Just cheer his real name.
...

Life engineers itself from water so well,
Living ensues for the rest of eternal gestures,
This time we build on the heaven that we clasp,
The layers of an orange are certainly beauteous,
...

I meet his light in certain books,
The one who taught me how to think,
Underneath the reasonable orchard,
Facing a dignified approach to the road.
...

Important large tasks cleanly overwhelm the under-waters:
A park of warmth, ports of drink, words of boats and sounds;
I want the cats of the past to think back to their young existence,
And I wish them to see small, surprising toads in action underneath.
