Naveed Akram Poems

The belief is plausible indeed, like the sailing boat
And the sea gliding beneath, so full of water indeed.
We obtain water from the clouds at night,
A city is lit by its own lanterns,
...

Drop this kindness in a bucket
To collect the coins of rare ice;
Icicles stick, stink and rice has been
The chemistry of our youth.
...

He cut his ten fingers with youth
Like the odd ends of a cigarette;
One held together the playwrights,
Their writing was staged forever.
...

In all respects a dozing orc is a wanted creature
By the villains who are knights of the highest order;
They cross rivers like the crossing of ice and fire,
Lava pours in and alters the messages of higher men.
...

Very nice items are like gold to manufacture from anything,
To common places they have travelled and ran,
Little do swamps fly and little do spirits lie vanished.
This grudge of the manufacturer mills the victuals,
...

He spoke of the manufacture of sudden summers,
Hot and trimmed with kindness, a shade was welcomed;
Then houses bowed with facades and sun was clear
Without the clouds of fortunate wool, the sheep had made.
...

I have just been honoured like a bicycle,
To find me capable like the accusations
Given to some who keep some sickness.
This present is my gift, and my gift is a present
...

My posture needs to be improved,
Since the horizon inhabited me as my fortunate self,
Sending me to distant far oceans that lingered
And fingered the irritation, offering my sympathy.
...

My sounds from prisoners hide the redundant men
Of the west and east, their alertness commands me
To pose the question so like the rebellion.
...

To the light we say our pleasant news of the evening
Then dawn appears to the seeing eye like the twitching ear
Resetting the clock, resettling the time,
Forward march!
...
