Naveed Akram Poems

They adjusted their business wear,
Sickeningly rich and ringing with ruthlessness;
The money of their triumph subjugated
The talented men of strong covers and codes.
...

Every man shall surmise like the poets
And change his leanings according to poetry;
This poetry dwells from the inner soul,
Directly the journey goes to the likeness of heaven.
...

Ingenious inspiration quietens the nook of ideas so faithful,
Assemblies of essays ceremoniously convene to provide the foreseeing;
The roof fell down the next day to improve the landscape,
Inspiring others in the field of work too extravagant, called building.
...

To pound the poor needs practice,
My praise is for the jumpers within;
Not in a million years do shapes appear,
For poor people to see the light of day.
...

A thousand suns rise in the dawn,
One of them is ours to stay all the morning;
Let moons be damned yesterday,
The stars of the night come out to play.
...

Spicy slippery slopes inhabit my ebony arms,
And my legs live with the inhabitants in armies
Of the immediate surroundings,
Carefully they survey and forecast with the forts
...

The adding and subtracting combined to make
My numbers work like words and positions
Offering powerful premises congealing in mud,
Fitting to the eye that stares,
...

Revered hills are dedicated to the slings,
They wrapped the mud and big clods
And tossed their heads at the invulnerable to this day,
Feet hoaxed their stare, toes smashed and glared
...

The moves spend their time on their kings,
And the queens reside in the galaxies,
For the decembers win fully like teachers,
And the januaries fix their stare on the tongue.
...

The moons are satellites for the unknown,
Speaking is the ritual caressing the joints
So much in love with joints,
And I say this with jests of the bodies in the heavens.
...
