Best Longevity Poems

Longevity inherited?
Brevity touches many
Strong constitution cherished
This world without pollution envy
Quality of life is a favor ferreted
Those who desire quanity and quality plenty

Desired to live to a hundred
Wired to be one- hundred- twenty  
Life cut short for mankind, have wondered
Someday answers find, scripted plenty
When the...

Late in life I struggle against my insignificance
When I should enjoy the freedom from performance before an audience.
Applause is happiness but if they withhold applause, embarrassment.
When Da Liu put me to work crunching hexagrams and spreadsheet
      numerology
Instead of ghost writing...

I asked an old lady of 103 
What’s the secret of your Longevity
Listen very carefully my young man
Then so very softy she began

On Monday the Milkman delivered the milk
And I wore a negligee trimmed with pure silk

On Tuesday coalman with coal in his sacks
And I...

1.
the crystallised handkerchief 
of one’s span of life

your handloom-bird brings with its lips 
some musical notation of the nimbus  

holding that waves within the heart 
how much growth does occur 
to the sandal-line of a man 

or 
it does 
fall 

the blades of grasses...

observing the ardent eagerness of the wind 
it is clearly understood 
that nascent pollens are overflowing 
the niche of her heart  

in response to the signals of the river 
she keeps on ringing 
all long the month of earth-quakes

the bench of the rail-station...

i am to be blown off on the first bombardment 
then it is to be flown 
in the crowd of  fire-flies 
on the bushes of the scented-lemons 

and it is to see the memory race of the grown-up girls 

it is to see...

4. 
the sex-appeal of the telephone 
and the bugle of the carnies-breaking cock-crows 
are all harmonised seamlessly 

the noon in the blood 
is flowing along the river 

all the dialogues are covered 
with misspelling of men and women 

the tailors want to increase life

There still trying to figure it out
How you make another year
No doctors Pills Aseptic techniques
Or Answers

Just tons of Books Strong Coffee
And Sunlight

They say it's in the "genes" 
And of course the "therapies"
Where you hash 
Your past 
Confront your demons
And for a future
Stay stuck

While people find...

On his 100th birthday celebration surrounded by his family…
he was asked, ‘what is the secret to your longevity?’

He was silent for a moment…they thought, perhaps, he was too weak…
“First of all,” he finally smiled, “I like to think before I speak.”

“How I’ve lived to be...

If one could be provided and sustained completely,
raised and educated by self maintaining computer machines
without ever having been exposed or aware of anybody
and live a life of complete solitary,
I believe that would increase the individual's longevity
even to the extent of immortality possibly
on the premise that...

Pt i

Let it be known that naissance is of late
significant that this longevity
shall live as long as these words shall donate
Affairs of the heart in their brevity,
Not a thought nor a whim should a thief
though if renditions are morbid as bleak 
fully aware that...

The sun is rising in the Eastern sky,
its rays cutting the early morning mist.
To shine on the inky black waters cried, 
by fallen maidens to an unjust fist 

Why have they been beaten so hard they break. 
Causing such pain and sorrow as to cry,
for...
