Rebecca Bouchard Poems

Open your eyes
and see me.
Search for my glances
And steal some
...

I can still recall the day Innocence abandoned me.
She left me stranded with no map and no instructions,
And as I struggled to take my first solitary steps,
Optimism and Trust kissed me goodbye.
...

Would you still love me?
Would you still care?
If I showed you,
What was always there?
...

It was a warm evening.
The summer breeze
caressed my blooming cheeks,
permanently dented by dimples.
