The Dialogue

Age is just a figure.

You say so! What about if I'm 70 years old, you wouldn't want to look at me twice! :(

You would be a very wise man who would  make me keep looking at you.
What about if I'm old? How would it be for you?

That's all you will do! Stare at me! ROFL And I won't be useful for nothing!! There is an Opera by George Gershwin titled "Porgy and Bess" where the singer says "What is the good of being nine hundred years old as Methuselah if no gal wants to go with a nine hundred years old man!". ROFL

If you were old you would be like those violets in books that no matter how long they are there still let their scent elate the one who smells them!

If no gal wants a 900 year-old- man, there would be those around 100 years old who would readily want a very matured man. After all, age is just a figure.

The Question

Beauty, much desired to ever last,

Like beauty and fragrances of Eden,

Endlessly odorous, feeding the eyes,

Soul contented, wholesome feeling arises,

Greatness defies barriers of seasonal changes.

The question of immortality,

If there is, one would never migrate,

From realities of life to spirituality,

Suppleness in command, gray shoved aside,

Is forever young a possibility?

Reminiscing the youth, there was once,

Strong desires to ward off seasoned looks,

Craziness to dance till the last song,

In every beat of the heart and in every vein,

With ease blood does flow, free from dirt of life.

Partially in dreamland,

Balqis

* This poem is written for fun. The inspiration came after reading Moonomo's post "Teenage Dream."

I was kidding and asking him whether there's a fountain of youth so that I could take a dip and stay young forever.

The reply was "No regrets, just love - we can dance till we die, will be young forever."
