I will not make a fall while I stand tall
I won’t be pushed down by gravity still
I will make sure that I am your windmill

Dementia won’t stop...

Poet: Ken Jordan
Poem: White Boys
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: August/1995

I want to do 
just like
the white boys
do -

Wear
six hundred
dollar
shoes,

and
dress
in
the finest 
of
suits -

I want 
a
six figure
income,

to splurge 
at
Fred Segal's,

on
Melrose
avenue -

I want to
jog
with 
my dog,

while 
pushing
my child
in a 
stroller -

I want to
send
my children,

to
only
the best
of
schools -

I...

Crack me open
Open the doors of my mind
Every night, I love you
I love you
I love you

Crack me open 
Open the doors of my mind
Everything…changed…
You put a spell on me
You put a spell on me

Pr….

Prideful baby

The crowd pushed me away, but I'll stay positive through it all
Lap up my emotions, animals of sympathy, for I'm your trough 
Trying not to lose hope in violent tranquility (peaceful and chaotic circumstances)...endure through...

Terrorism is a villainous violence, 
Used by those who disagree,
Bloodshed breaks the somber silence,
Between those who feel unfree. 

However, when one disagrees
With how the system works,
They are targeted by an intelligent team
Of thieves who wear...

Tonight I plan to go out and enjoy my time
With some folks of mine that love red wine
There is no reason to say where we go
It could be a bar, or maybe my own home.

This, as it is, stripped and reduced - undone by 
raging, torrential, opened senses;
To its elemental couplings of unbridled pieces.

Here is life, in towering, brindled expanse, that 
swallows whole all of the lightest and darkest;
Peaks,...

Xmas tide, 
a time for familial gatherings,
The golden chain of friendship 
…and companions
Sweet on each other,
parading arm in arm
Together to share a feast and gift giving

...Nativity scenes, red, gold, green
bells ringing
Garlands, wreaths, and holly
Holiday romance...

It was a cloudy Easter Sunday.

I went over to my grandmother's house for dinner.
 
We were getting ready to set the table. 

When she told me to get the champaign glasses ready.

As I reached into...

Sweet, Sensational, I glide my fingers down her skin, 
Barely but softly touching her sweet soaked flesh,
As I feel beneath I gently kiss the firm of her body,
I look at my loved one and think...

The poetry I write seems harsh
it seems sad and powerful,
sings songs and pslams to the sorrowful soul,
sung its song in the past of sorrow in all.

The poet's blood flows like champaign
on a wedding day of...

I ask one more,and-
and she become terrific.
"U asked it more than seven time,
just sit and don't disturb me.
Is it clear??"
I nodded.
Once again she enter in her file.
so she say nothing.

It's Christmas season, the merriment season

The smell of a fresh season, blooming with love

Christ the reason for the season, a song we always sing

Singing joyously, with tune so high, rhymes so in tune

Fortune favor only...

If I were rich what would I have done?
I am thinking of places near and far
Perhaps a lavish mansion
Hidden in the heart of a mysterious land
Its walls build of Far East marbles, embroidered...

This is a perfect winter night to tandem thyself with my sizzling nerves 
Candle light stuns thy hips moving in wine-red skirt, penning killer curves
O’ watch our bed rose’s flame in moonlight, instating a scene...

I turned
The TV
On.
The first five minutes
The CNN news:
Two prostitutes
Were
Found 
Decapitated
And dumped 
In two separated
Bags
After being
Beating. 
This I call 
Peace time 
Casualty.
Followed 
By five minutes
Of commercial:
Drug for obese
The next five minutes
The war on freedom
In Iraq
Local news
