Naveed Akram Poems

I leap and creep, like a baking son,
Eating my bread from the one who stakes
His heart on the love of wine and weather.
...

I have my comment on spaces such as this,
I argue, fight and fuss over water and ice.
I have my delivered mates and friends,
Walking the foolhardy stride and all the effects.
...

The music of the universe is silent,
You walk into the stars as you direct
Actions and endeavours that astound.
I have to find him there, walking in space,
...

And murder wept its tears of regret,
Folly had a price for all its morbidity.

Finding gold was enough, enough for me,
...

In my mind is a thought, that betrays
Nobody, that portrays a background
To the soul, that pierces and shouts
With blurred vision.
...

The soul has entered the star,
And it remains in feeling with it;
This man is like an economy of men,
Feeding the frenzy of the humans.
...

My philosophy is my design,
For he is a designer of pictures
That float in the rain and snow.
His deeds are his thoughts,
...

There when I played and told,
The hearers placated me with their ears;
Closing behind me, taking all the seats.
Before the toymaker and the officer
...

I am sick of foes in the dust at my feet,
My weeping is due to them at my feet;
Let my heart weep also, and my eyes
Are leaping the shadows with despair.
...

The stars are giving birth to beauties,
The moons travel with friendship,
And the planets drive our mathematics.
One star is enough to starve a planet,
...
