Marcus McKinley Poems

If it is wrong for me to say, I love you
I love you, is not what I said
All the days I’ve been thinking of you
Saying, I love you, in my head
...

The direction of my life
An empty binnacle
Head strong and heading nowhere fast
Stubborn like a windblown mast
...

I see you on the other side on my screen
Perfect moments captured and framed
Running free, with imagination
Testing the waters with verbal flirtation
...

It is you that inspires


I see, I have awakened you from your zealous slumber
...

Young and inexperienced with words
What would I say?
So with great urgency
I asked you to go to the prom with me
...

Is it that hard to see
In every poem, in every verse,
In every hesitation with a sigh
All the poems and rhymes aside
...

Like the final scream of a banzai warrior
Dedicated to the cause
Focused
She zeroed in
...

Flowing tresses
Stunning, beautiful
from head to toe
Oh! How I wish for a breeze
...

Admiring you, It’s true
I think you’re beautiful, I do
everything you are
I have loved from afar
...

Pay no attention to the 5/10 (1)
The user rating from the gun
The mediocre false accuser
The one that wrongly judges every user
