Best Treadmill Poems

Slowing down the motor,
running low on gas

The lies, the HOV lane,
the truth off in the grass

The speed counterproductive,
it warps and then transforms

The magic in the stillness,
the beauty heaven born

The light becomes a blurring,
as darkness settles in

Till stepping off the madness,
and travelling within

That fatal rush to...

Insatiable thirst and hunger
A bottomless materialistic pit
Always something for nothing
Prop your feet up; you’re the ****

Narcissist lazy behavior
Spoiled childish attitude
Snowflakes; everybody’s a winner
Except for people like me and you

They want it all
Dedicated to useless social tasks
Judgmental of others 
Sluggish and fat

Passion for wealth
Absence of worth
Fickleness...

Light is fading
It’s cold, abrasive
Facing longer nights
Green leaves mellow
Brown and yellow
Autumn has arrived

Misty mornings
Clock alarming
Body sense awry
Feel so jaded
Last night’s raving
Flashing through your mind

Drink hot coffee
Rush to catch the
Seven thirty-five
On the treadmill
Routine, thankful
Work keeps hope alive

Simply crazy when, every now and then
You want to bash...

How fragile is the thread
That bears the weight
Of
Who I am
Is it not true?
My greatest strength is my deepest fear
Will I ever be complete?
How far must I run? 
On the treadmill of life
Before I realize
That I have lost the race
In reality
Losing the race
Has gained me the...

A distant rumble
Not thunder…a plane?
Remember when they broke
The sound barrier
Shook the house
Made the dog pee …right there
I think I hear the sun laugh
Y’know…that ha – ha
Its gonna rain for three days
You’re gonna miss me laugh
The moon just smiled
Its rocking chair smile
the baby ground hog
is fattening...

I’M ON A TREADMILL 
HOLDING ON TIGHT 

RIGHT FOOT IN FRONT OF LEFT
LEFT FOOT IN FRONT OF RIGHT 
BUT I DON’T SEEM TO BE GOING ANYWHERE 

I MUST KEEP MOVING 
HOWEVER
OR I WILL TRIP 
AND FALL

THE SPEED MAY VARY
THE SURROUNDINGS MAY CHANGE

RIGHT FOOT IN FRONT...

There is treadmill now a time
Always thinking & acting like a mime,
Ready to carry the burden of anyone
But is even bounded by expectations of everyone.
10, 20, 40, 50 till 150 kgs. is its limitation
For god’s sake don’t increase your expectation,
It is always ready to help...

Trudging exhausted, weary and spent
Revolving in an ennui which will not relent
Each step closer to nowhere, be it fast or slow
As days crawl by friends come and they go
Dawn ushers forth a grand gift of renewel
Moon offers solace, serene bright and cool
Inside this cage I...

I me 2 

Am fiercely competitive as well

Suppose that is not so much a new

But commonality thread

That bonds us together

Surely makes us in fact human 

Like string flaccidly detached from
an ailing kite

Floating slowly ebbing away on
a windless day

With NA emblazoned in bold capital
letters upon it...

 My love
Was like
Running a race
But on a treadmill
I will always keep running
Keep loving
Even though
I will never
Reach my destination ...

You set my soul on fire like a stack of straw.
You were there to set the blaze, but where were you when it became ash.
In the evidence of absence, I realize i was a fool, trying to get by on my belly.
Not being noticed by...

The golden king of days, 
ruling sky just for hours.
Sparkling jewels of nights, 
fading at destined time.
Dipped in wealthy waters, 
ah! dark days yet to come.
If feet are soaked in mud,
yes! sun is rising soon....

What life is this when all is not enough?
Each goal achieved precurses one more need
And worldly goods, my bloated ego bluff,
Enslaving me in this sad selfish greed.

The thrill of each success soon flashes past.
Eyes focus then on some new gleaming prize,
Spurred on by hunger, it...

It’s a rainy, snowy Tuesday morning, so I headed to our fitness center (in the basement) to walk on a treadmill. On arrival there were four or five guys there. There was a time when that would have been reason enough for me to not...
