Naveed Akram Poems

Understand me this time.
By what is knowledgeable and certain,
The reins of this horse weigh on my hands,
As I approach the house I built,
...

My disease is my flight into the dangerous realms,
I just see caged birds, I just see caged birds.
Animals are full of contagious ailments,
If you do speak to these creatures a philosopher
...

The horses of light are the beds of humanity,
They shine and record the ideas of men who bleed,
Like the hissing of snakes and the prancing of ponies.
Widows have been collapsed by the trains
...

Death has a step over the line I call home,
Home shall remain a constant danger now.
Heaven is a dangerous country we live in,
Hell is the light of darkness, of everything.
...

Vagabonds are eruptive on this island
Like its crater, the volcano wobbles uncontrolled!
Bigeminal beasts take trips on this isle,
Anatomy making an appearance.
...

Towards the end of our time
We miss the friendship and food;
The days behind are but silent thoughts
And the months seem endless.
...

The drops from my eyes are of perfect water,
This is my demonstration, my reaction and emotion;
Suddenly tears well and clog my eyes,
I am tortured by a remembrance so powerful.
...

Stand and watch, for the account,
For the abuse and acquaintance,
Unless the aerial is suddenly there,
And imperceptible material is not viewed.
...

A man of the woods carries his belongings
To a hut, where he proclaims a message
To his family, and restores himself with comfort.
...

They crowd our hidden imagination,
Only by embarking on such a journey
Do we expose their true nature.
Mortal superstitions deal with vampires
...
