Naveed Akram Poems

I am covered in black grease
Forever in a quick search for evolutions,
This is my offering from eternity.
...

I am covered in soot from too much fasting,
Loathing the fuel I sustained,
Looking at faces that married my glance.
...

Flicking the switch will erase the ailment,
But who opens one with labels on his head?
The headache continues, with ready work,
But wounds display a little pride and you concentrate.
...

The earth shall cry for the forces of time,
An event passes, a world collapses,
This age is against the clock,
This age belongs to us who weep
...

The cannon was graded as I peered inside,
It shot its milk that spilt on the other table
Called a world of dangers and words of doubt,
Injuries seemed like rain and ever so red.
...

Dirty and damp, bumpy and loud,
A lantern has erased itself from despair
For its shining inhabits the globe.
They reside in the core of the worlds,
...

The human head forgets its pleasures,
In hearts collected, in residence stilled;
Those ignitions surprise the phantoms, the worlds,
The dreams, the desires, the faults,
...

One man has witnessed the plains of heaven,
Another resides in his palace of woe,
For this return a captain builds his ship
To see further than the stars, the moon,
...

I never knew a word of thought,
About half an hour elapsed before God,
And my instincts showed the colour red,
The colours of the rainbow had come up.
...

A mammoth is late for the prize,
Lazy, light and peering into deeds,
For the age created us with its tusks,
And the tusks would disintegrate.
...
