Naveed Akram Poems

Birds chirp to rid us of the waft of disease,
They have spines of an illustration,
Spines of the praise so lovely and strange.
Birds cross the divides of a holy day,
...

The devil knows the rattling nightmare,
He buzzes, stalls, and destroys systems
Way beyond your control, those innocent men
Rattle in their bones;
...

My wretched self is exchanging the pleasure
With disbelief, an irony has surpassed the weather;
My arms fold, ranting mouth speaks potions,
So ire besets a tired public when beseeched
...

I wondered why the rain fell like ghosts,
Where were they uttered, which district?
Pain dissolved the night, night of cowardice
Happened to fight and deliver the self.
...

On the gently sloping street,
A family of angels surprises
Us as we meet their being
And all their splendour of ice.
...

While the planet rocks to the sound of music,
The rampant arguments are like speeches
Of speed and singing, the final flair of voices,
A sudden change in appearances.
...

I crouched carefully with alert mind,
Only abandoning the sunrise and sunset;
Noting that the squirrels were in the dreams
To suspect us of mischief in the woods;
...

A nab was naked, carrying a malady
Wasting my time once my damaged brain saw
The differences of a wet day and night,
The feeling of purification bled tonight,
...

They fell into the place called Hell,
Its height fell into an abyss and drowned in disbelief;
Its width collapsed from the barrage of fireballs,
As its flame grew in betrayal and colour.
...

For a few minutes we pack for the journey named no more
By our successes, and life revolves around violas and violins.

The musicians have a stigma, the revolutionists cause mayhem
...
