Naveed Akram Poems

He stepped towards them to lay upon the grave,
Soil fell and clouds broke up to dust the feathered wastes;
So it was all right with smiling back,
Withering in the breeze was the embarrassment:
...

His everyday presence forgot me,
A little farther and the world toppled,
Investigations loomed larger than ice,
Brittle were the mechanisms of this small disease.
...

I turn to the right of it,
Fooling the enterprise as thoughts cry,
Mighty health proffers this century,
To wear the shoes of a former gathering.
...

I stopped a doctor for the gas victims,
In places a stand was shown to exist
By the largest of the crows that know
Of what his arms were barred.
...

It was chaotic, disorderly and full of houses
That swung and ran to the feet of their mad kindness.
The treads were too narrow for them
To place their whole bulk on them,
...

In his chamber the answering and questioning machine
Was blinking, blazing, grinning and escorting like a robot.
This remaking of the hazards concurrent, expected more
Than just dramatics, hundred percent was the motto.
...

Brag and boast for the boots,
Guilt has been annoying for the looting,
As the observant have noted
Much to the distaste of elders.
...

The path is stronger than the sword
That shakes and quakes the earth,
So that sounds, noise and music erupts
Like volcanic lava to the universe.
...

Now you see the water and the river,
Straight and absolute, it will stick like ice,
Downwards the flow is moving,
Downwards is the force of gravity.
...

As the stars sank and the convulsions stood,
We lifted the night with men crouched in caves;
The screeching murder was behind them,
Savages reflected the last time and the last one.
...
