Naveed Akram Poems

How can the words of power and poetry
Be among the literate and dismayed?
Leadership carries its own fatherhood,
When flowers cause poetry to bloom
...

Journeys to the stars revolve around the eyes,
These galaxies form their arms around the body.
The entire adventure begins,
The entire adventure ends.
...

Down the canes a sugar flows and subjugates
The hours of the days that pass compared.
This side of town seems sugary and sweeter
Than most diets, more food in the blood stream.
...

Flat lands are fighting against the weapons,
These guardians of the snow are overwhelming;
For it deepens, with openings of fire,
The sharpening of weapons is afoot.
...

We provide what we divide in thoughts of you,
And so the subdivisions collect and reside from you.
The acidified sides of the triangle are three,
Collect these points and lines for applications.
...

This four-sided night is like a rectangle,
You see in floors of the sky a slight right.
One star glistens piercing the eyes like sickness
Of the sight, so guided are the photons.
...

I have fired the enterprise with outcries,
My logic curtails the sighing of spring;
Then comprise me, this time it dries,
This promise of primroses is a cheering.
...

The mornings were brighter than the sun and the stars,
Like some safari that imagines, that stays awake;
Then in this sahara the face explodes to be the sleep
Of a deep sleep so like dying that death has overcome;
...

Once, the starry skies are obliterated by dozens of magazines
So much fired by the irate soldiers transfixed in laughter;
These holes may be defined with ancestry, agreeing
Like the mainstream faiths, airy haunted zones.
...

Letting go of blackberries in favour of strawberries
Creates illusion so that biochemistry defines collision.
The bicentenary celebrations are nearby to relics
Defending the faiths of their tranquillity,
...
