To be my shadow beneath me

Positively StunningI used to be obsessed with fashion, caring far too much about clothes,
Like the sun whenever he's coming and going, is striking vanity's pose.
I lavished absurdly upon my wardrobe, in excess of what was practical,
Like...

Let It Be ThenYesterday brought not a storm,
But a suffocating stillness.
Everything stopped.
My throat grew dry.
My bones began to ache.
The silent but constant rhythm of my little world seized.
Everything stopped.

Way Down SouthPoet: Ken Jordan
Poem: Way Down South
Edited by: Sparkle Jordan
written: June/2014
Growing up
way
down south
in
Florida -
was like
a
fiesta -
We would
go to
the
beach,
swim, run,
and
play
in
the white
sand -
and
soon as
we
get home,
It was

to raid

sugarcane
farm -
Life
was sweet,
in
the
Sunshine
State -
Each day
was
better than
the
day before...

Fruit LeatherYou bite that apple!
Give it a go, put on a show

Tripping along the seafloor
Playing hopscotch
Eating numbers like cookies
Chips Ahoy!
Sleeve after...

A piece of the past is ready to die
I am seeing a lifetime,...
