Kenji McCollum Poems

A date,
I went on a date,
and could it have gone any better?
His face being illuminated by the sun,
...

The night sky is dark and covered with stars,
Making the sky look like a sequined covered gown,
The cold air huskily hitting my hands,
Making them feel like ice,
...

It finally happened,
the exact date ive been wanting to go on for years,
before I even knew who he was,
I wanted to travel around downtown Milwaukee,
...

It was a breathy day in June,
The sky was warm and inviting,
The cloud seemed to look like they where made of cotton candy,
The sun was peaking warming the air,
...

I love looking at you,
you look like coffee,
the browns and the whites mixing all together,
I love how you look under the lights,
...

Magnets mean dedication,
Means your going to be there for a while,
in my house magnets mean,
you keep them until they are broken or don't work,
...

His skin is soft,
his breath is warm against my neck,
His warm kisses all over,
The smell of his shampoo,
...

Being queer is like a cauldron,
full of mixtures full of everything you can think of,
people keep trying to separate the mixture,
try to name it,
...

Fear is something that eats me,
Causes me to have anxiety over everything,
It eats my stomach away,
Causes my chest,
...

I know there is something wrong with me,
How I want my skin to sting and burn,
That sometimes all I want to feel is pain,
How my heart hurts,
...
