Naveed Akram Poems

In each of us a vanished light exists,
Such chemistry tempers the steel called the body.
The best of the physics is afraid of a companion,
And so mathematical bodies of light annex
...

An echoing blue will enlighten you,
So the shepherd arrives to greet his sheep;
One day you will set to light a heaven
And give money to the dead who leap.
...

I sped along the road to a mother-city,
To call her the one to be moments before birth,
As death revolved around the centre of health.
See me after one man destines,
...

The bedspread housed a cobweb
Of claptrap and chairs fully of white;
The reader of lights saw butterflies
Blowing into each other so flights
...

The well of madness drifts into the sighing zone,
Where a heart deserts another market of deceit;
The aliens of dedicated murder are upon us,
Just like the pack of wolves arriving in the dark,
...

It may be an outspoken act to achieve what you desire,
But the electric impulses in the brain seek justice
For they make you behave with people and their acts.
The sight of trouble causes another man to speak out
...

The circle of bread happens to us in reality,
I call mine a bagel, you call yours something;
Rolls I withstand til the end of Time,
The differently baked food is always mine.
...

Catapult the wiser sort into the fire,
Where they have been burning with skill.
The cemetery acquires them as pious ones,
Ready to think, ready to prey on others.
...
