Naveed Akram Poems

The impossible men wear masks and parade their ownership,
Tightly they embrace and wield the swords so begotten.
One skirt tightens and then frocks are bitten to pieces
By the wind that stirs, rocking the innocent beasts of the city.

It presides and collects the gem stones,
Sparkling in the minds of men who see.

For just people are rational men,
For jealous prisoners work like criminals
Internally requesting freedom of desire.

Warships of the navy expected worse health.

Underneath the ship's awe is a polite one,
For this nearer war is the crest and trough,
A sea of them will undermine us tonight.

Who had taught remedial English;
Taking a stab at the dark
She entered the wetness of the day
...

A baby is a baby of apples in bloom,
The air of the forces combines with someone
Who is born to be the begotten one
So early in years and skin.
...

To go to the room of substance of mind,
I press and think to understand the alarm.
A white-washed wall is all I truly sign with my look,
My face changed expression into curious
