Naveed Akram Poems

First the sowing of seedlings with dribbling ways:
A criterion of the grass is that it slithers,
Sloth has burdened the brotherly bells,
And belts of flames are enlightening,
...

When I was young, my father and I talked
Of the ways we grew like magnets to each other;
We went to the lectures together,
Learnt industry by meeting the top bosses,
...

I wore some Lion's skin, like a hunter grown tall,
It was in the solar moments, when the lunar spells
Were absent, and sun had to pierce the creatures.
I proudly remarked on some misadventure,
...

It was delightfully cold, and I understood the man
Who was part dog, he wanted to reply to the whole
Yard, where ferocious venomous tigers taught
Their strong looks, into ditches they spread.
...

I hope a terrible growl was one condition
Of the human body and all its parts;
Of the steaming coffee a little cream was worming
Its way to the drugs and curses.
...

When you are dreary
And feelings are rare,
The sleep must be mounting
Like horsemen who dismount
...

The maiden of the east is sudden
As the thunder of the storm at billowy night;
The makers of sublime spring are caught
By innovated practices enlarged by the monuments.
...

Shake me with your eyes that scream
In sudden swirls and whirling pools enlighten
The soul inside my heart that swells and bloats
According to the existence of this world.
...

I saw the relief of an age in work,
Releasing the brides of liberty in a second;
Then the words of the spirit were entailing
A loss, of the proud beginnings and mutterings.
...

It so happened in the moment,
A weird old boy looked into pleasure
And found a brief encounter with me,
I held him with a rope in the eyes,
...
