Naveed Akram Poems

In the palm of your hand a desired maid
Eludes the pair of eyes that stagger and twitch
Repulsively to connect the cubes of authority.
My wish would end if eyes cancelled like ice,
...

Applause rippled through the people
Who beheld changes of the smile.
It made all difference, all calamity,
As calm entered the arena of thought.
...

The man stared back with green hair,
Following the ways of the windows and chairs;
Cheering the fools of the question,
The man of maniacs became a devil.
...

The day shall swear to the books of gold,
These tomes decide the worth of generations;
In them a day collides with atoms of the dusts,
Winds blow them out to the seas of brine.
...

This island is fluttering its eyes,
With shock the tail of the land is on,
Fire has been, fire has seen,
Like boulders of the ire and pride,
...

It was a sign of the senses,
It was dry, dastardly and sour,
The moistened lips retracted and spat,
For we are on unions with thoughts,
...

The hills bespeak fortune after war,
Forces of formations align to cast the enemy
Adrift in decisions of final onslaught.
They react to the walls that shape the acts,
...

Black and attracted to the vacuum,
A space is an endeavour of the word,
It is language, it is spoken by tongues,
For it spreads with sense and surprise,
...

I weigh a ton, I am at rest,
Why does the star above be strange?
For it shines on my head,
Even at night with dark lusts.
...

Best of the worlds,
Be a place for the delicate ending,
Make an effort to water the eyes,
Those eyes stay on earth,
...
