Best Long Run Poems


In the Long Run

Creativity never came easy to a boy like me
But, it took determination and a bit of skill on my part
Captivity was a place I call home
Captivity was my house…a place to roam

Determination is key
It’s a blissful opportunity
Benevolence is also key
To happiness in the long run
Determination is key
It’s a classy admiration
Longkindness comes a long way
After a stressful, maddening day
Oooooh ahhh
Hmmm mmm

Fantastic feelings feed on me
Epic empathy is elegant and free
Frying up fries on the stove
Eating that good stuff I love…

Determination is key
It’s a blissful opportunity
Benevolence is also key
To happiness in the long run
Determination is key
It’s a classy admiration
Longkindness comes a long way
After a stressful, maddening day
Oooooh ahhh
Oooooh ahhh
Hmmm mmm
Hmmm mmm

Friendship and familyship really come hand in hand
I do understand where I stand…and where my airplanes land
In a land called Acceptance
Not in the zone of rejectance… 
Repentance is gracious and glorious as ever
You sit down and just say “whatever”
Love is pure
Love is great
Love is the cure
Love is fate
It gives me a reason to move on
To move forward before the break of dawn
Determination is key
It’s a blissful opportunity
Benevolence is also key
To happiness in the long run
Determination is key
It’s a classy admiration
Longkindness comes a long way
After a stressful, maddening day
Oooooh ahhh
Oooooh ahhh
Hmmm mmm
Hmmm mmm
Determination is key
It’s a blissful opportunity
Benevolence is also key
To happiness in the long run
Determination is key
It’s a classy admiration
Longkindness comes a long way
After a stressful, maddening day
Oooooh ahhh
Oooooh ahhh
Hmmm mmm
Hmmm mmm

I'm sitting in the scissors
                   my own emotional drama
                   An all-night staging on the podium
                   Poor audience
                   trauma, loss and wordless pain

                   My release of emotional tension
                   Costumes, makeup,
                   sound and special effects
                   The spectators will experience
                   a dramatic tragedy

                   There is a leak in the water hose,
                   salty tears
                   Behind the mask, 
                   imbalance in black bile

                   When emotions are linked to the heart
                   and not the head

                   Occasionally, 
                   sea worms come to the surface
                   But, I ensures that the feet
                   have a secure anchorage

                   Dare to spin the wave
                   Freud would rejoice, I'm sure
                   The definition of learning
                   is in fact a relatively lasting change

Long Run

The consequence of 
misstep unintended --
a favorite toy
crushed beneath
a careless shoe --
broke her. 

She wept, all the while
willing her eyes not to betray
her secret. 

Their slow drip 
(plop pause plop pause) 
like little footfalls over shards 
of glass, crunching and cutting,
as she ran from the scene.

The footfalls forcing a rhythm
(measured meditation)
with breath after 
eventual breath. 

This is how she moves on; 
just keeps running, 
over and over until the 
exhaustion has fulfilled 
its purpose:
the quieted mind...

This poem.


Long Run

He is the one she never believed she deserved him
Always thought he was to good for her
And how he would just not keep hanging on to her because, he lover her only from within
So she turned and walked away along with the roaring but gently wind
The love she has always kept for him in her heart was an amorous love
Full of contented wonder sent from up above
A profound emotion to which she could not find again
She compared it to many others but her complete heart they never could win
He is the only one for whom she longs for from the dark of the night
She closes her eyes and he's there with her in the daylight
So she will wait for him awhile longer she don't care what it takes
She knows the cost and understands the high stakes
She realizes just how much, hard, and in pieces that may never mend her heart and very 
soul may break
This is what she feels so certainly she must do, this is the path she just has to take
Her heart and soul may end up being beaten and broken, torn and tattered
For when it comes to him and how he loves her, in the long run
It just don't matter

A long run

I run not for fun,
It may be dusk or dawn.

I want to shine like sun,
Remember I am not done.

I don’t go for anydone,
Yes driven by dreams very often.

I won’t allow things  to be gone,
Just because of my nonedone.

My aims find objections,
Have to go through endless agitations.

But I will make it a perfection,
At the end of this long run.

Won't stop before final submission,
Can't  disregard the divine indication.

At the Long Run

At the Long run
We all started same time
But never finished same time
Some run faster
Some run so slow 
Some fainted at the way 
Some couldn't handle the race
At the long run

At the long run 
We started this journey together
We were tired of Africa 
Cos the suffering was much 
We were willing to find life 
Else were much more better 
Than we got at home 
Cos poverty was the drive 
To the speed of this long run
We left our home like 
As if we are been chase 
Of curse the system does

At the long run
The race was hard 
Our journey was not easy
The road were though
It was a great experience
But difficult to memorize
Cos it experiences was long
At the long run

At the long run 
Do we have a choice
We do but the chances 
Are little 
We don't want to depend
On tribal wars
We don't want to be victims
Any longer 
Freedom was our ultimate
Desire 
So the race started
And till date 
So many innocent 
Africa youth still partake
At the long run

Long Run

Time passes
long wait...
And none of us
arrives at the appointment...
the watch of life
still loose
unmarked
the final moment...
But the inexorable fear
is looking for me
of our yearnings...
And we, when
we finally arrive...!
To our destination...
