Quotes about senescence

Senior Student

Senior Student.

Senescence...don’t know what that word means,
I forget so many words now a days.
A man called Alexander has stopped writing says
he forget dates and names of famous persons
but isn’t that what Wikipedia is for?

Senescence...old age, I read, better than senile which
is a word full ancient dust, of knowledge chipped off
an old statue, like the one I saw in Rome,
time had made his face featureless and he had lost
six fingers. Senior citizen me? I still have nine fingers.

Crossing The Border

Senescence begins
And middle age ends
The day your descendents
Outnumber your friends.

The general rule is that anything that is passed on in reproduction does not undergo senescence.

when parents can’t safeguard
their children young
who should tend to them in senescence?

Past is dust.

My childhood was not aware that
My adulthood would later mock at it.
My adulthood was not aware that
My old stage would mock at adulthood.
My senescence will be mocked at
By my soul. Every past is dust.

Leave No Traces Fair

Leave no traces fair,
Nor flowers lily white,
No notes, nor wisps of hair,
Nor passions of the night.

Cling not to what you know,
Nor proud, nor humble be-
Let honors be bestowed
On ranks of vanity.

Seek freedom's inner essence
And light that shines in truth-
For fame conceals senescence
That clips the wings of youth.

Candid And Fearless

..and here is another human
thing
whose goal is to save money
so he can
sit under the
tallest red wood tree
in California


ah, this human thing in us
still rooted to earth
and its
temporary reliefs
its limited senescence
its
temporal attractions

such a relief
i do not have it anymore

Black Bruises III

I can wallow under the blackness,
the quietude underwater
coaxing to a surmised fray
I can endure the insipidness
sleuthing senescence arrive,
sleuthing balmy perfumes,
sleuthing cigarette kisses,
sleuthing ablaze kerosene,
sleuthing sly putrefactions,
sleuthing unawake buds,
sleuthing old handkerchiefs,
sleuthing ruffled pillowcases;
but am I the only one smelling
these black bruised fragrances?

Lust is inborn

As a lad I set my eyes upon girls
With radiant faces. For a kiss?

As a youth I cast my eyes on damsels,
Who had robust busts. For a grab?

In my manhood, I was excited
By women with sturdy waist. For a bind?

Growing old, still I was drawn to their
Smartness and maturity. For a rest?

Even in my senescence, women matter
By vision, voice and words. For a diffusion?

Birth to death, ever lust persists with the man
To feed on women on many phases.

Ultimately Paranoid

I wanted to rely on my aunts
If at all I lose my parents.
I weaned away.

I depended on brothers and sisters,
Who should have come to my rescue.
I weaned away.

I bent on my in-laws,
Who I thought would bail me out.
I weaned away.

I was blind on many upper kin
To seek for their help, while with sins.
I weaned away.

I bet on my own offspring,
On whom I could recline, on senescence.
I weaned away.
