Naveed Akram Poems

Any more courage frees the mind from the mayhem
Of the utter losses, minds are afraid of heartening wigs
Worn by doubters and dwellers so hurtling and fetching.
...

Horrible bizarre men are brought as fodder
To the pizza-parlour to exact a punishment,
For eating their pleasure is consuming distaste,
For the drink is essential on a form of travel.
...

Minutes of play were exact remembrances of honesty,
Forgetting was starting to start the ends of the earth;
My hours of flying were over like the dresses of soil,
The turf we whitened was overtaken by the ground of electricity.
...

The body of bone was a book,
Fragile fortress of strenuous work,
Books were of bone singing in the snow.
...

A hero has loved a spring of love,
Happiness lies at his arms that defeat,
This hero stopped all hope from entering
The swinging lights of sleep.
...

You think I'm different, but relative to you
My arrears are similar, and I come through happier.
Here and there, we still have a way to spray the paint
Of our lives, here and there the thinkers abide
...

The desert has thought what lurks awhile,
A mountain stream occurs in wastes unknown,
And a groan uplifts the ceremony of the wild.
Feeding guests is reconciling with nature,
...

Dreams work like the future of light,
Girls of families worm out in lights,
Dreams of the dreamers are like respect,
Loathing them is defining the deity behind their play.
...

One dream awakens the heart with titans,
Once the lights are dimmed forever in the arts,
When waiting has erupted like an angry unfit volcano,
Dancing in the night with life and dread and shame.
...

A faint whisper entered the jaws of love,
He listened too hard again, tonight;
These ways were known to gods above,
They learnt in the prime world a little deed
...
