Best Not Long Poems


Not Long Now
Head shaved to
floods of tears 
Been told months
Pray for years 
Don't know what's in store for me
Cross my fingers and wait and see

Had a visit to the surgery for a routine appointment 
Dr sat me down and sold me disappointment
Those tests  you've had couldn't be...

Not Long Ago
True history indeed
'Father Time' just doing his thing
Distant memories, it seems
But Miss reality forces us to grapple with this pain
Manacles of the body and mind
Yet, is the spirit still free, or not?
So long to Jim Crow
Even those infamous white sheets seem to have vanished
It's funny...

Not Long To Go Now Until We Know
Not long to go now until we are
told we will know

How the next 4 year's are bound
to pan out

As the way it's been reported on 
it's almost like we have a casting
vote or have a say in it ourselves

Bering in mind however or whichever
way it...

Why My Poems Are Not Long
Why my poems are not long?
I think in terms of song:
My passion for sound strong,
Sacrificing beat wrong...

Why poems shan't be long?
To sound and song I belong:
On sound, now, the King Kong,
Save there's one in Hong Kong
One I don't sight in Tong!
Like China to Ping Pong...

And...

I can not resist any more   I can not afford
I'm not receiving any assistance   there's no effort
Before my eyes disasters are getting unfold
Hey people,i'm not long for this world
This world for me is too short...

Not long ago, we all were told
LOCK DOWN! Strange things I saw unfold,
yet constantly, "Go with the flow,"
we all were told not long ago.

I'm hearing lies now more and more.
And some of them I can't ignore.
What "WHO" says, C- D -C denies!
Now more and more,...

Time's Not Long Enough
There never seems to be enough time
     to do the things you want
          with the person you love the most
You ask for an eternity
     yet you're given only...

Wait Is Not Long
Magical relation 
Love and emotion
Situation to die for someone
Love never need sacrifice
Love need complete devotion
Like a silent viewer
I am viewing beauty of rise
And taking bath in sunshine
And moving to create new dream
And searching way of sunshine
I know light of love
Pulling my heart attention
And calling me...

O to live full, not long
Live each tick for eternity,
Happiness is not to live long,
Nor yet to live in certainty.

Wants and wishes make vanity
And turn joys to a tasteless song, 
Live each tick for eternity.

As butterflies do perfectly--
Gain earth and skies as go along,
And yet never chase certainty.

Not so exists...

Not Long After You Were Gone
Yesterday I stumbled upon a hand written note..

the flow of writing was known..

Not long after you were gone…

 

That evening you left…

Somewhere in the heaven to rest..

They say days make it better…

Yes…i have become better ...in not letting my feelings appear..

 

The inert… empty aching…

Sustains...

Not Long Ago
I would like you...
to read this poem, not ‘cos it’s different 
from the rest of mine, maybe, ‘cos I wrote it, just now--- 
five minutes ago. Although, I believed 

...that I gave my best for this write,
yet still, it needs attention, the pleasing
sound of your...

Premium Member Not Long Enough Be Death
under the lych-gate shall I pass
before the wait in holding hands
for the robed man of God to steer
me to my resting days

and shall I then be added to
the sanded brick of grotesque face
that stares across the standing stones
to look beyond the yew

and those who sidle...

You are telling me I haven’t played long enough?
Do you expect me to believe any of that stuff?
What I am requesting is really no big deal.
My wife and I would like a comp for a meal.
I have been here all day with tables and machines.
I...

Not Long
Two more weeks till I’m with you,
If others reject me I know you won’t.

If others don’t want me, you will want me,
I will be with you, in the arms of my love,
The love that wants me,
The love that wants to show me off.

You once told...
