Wade Bouton Poems

By the sea she sits
Gazing longingly for its embrace
Its touch and caress
...

How can love exist in a cold heart
When the beating of the mundane
Leaves no room for love to start
...

When your words reach my ears
I will forever hear
Lasting echoes of your voice
Lamenting our time apart
...

Everyday my mind returns
To the spot of seclusion
Offering sacrament to the sea
...

Perhaps I will never fly, but I cannot fathom why

Entered this world on a snowy day, always trying to keep the cold at bay
...

I was standing in the light, but all was dark and lonely. I was surrounded by a crowd and at once all alone.

Looking at the masses, all huddled together, joyous, believing in something bigger than themselves, made my insignificance that much more apparent.
...

She devastated me with just a few words
My heart filled quickly with sadness
Driving me to the brink of madness
...

Imagine having no secrets withheld
Always listening, but your thoughts quelled

Seeing their most intimate thought
...

Always thoughtful, always kind
Our feelings intertwined

She knows not how she affects me
...

A piece of your heart beats within me
With each thump, thump, thump
I love you are the words I hear and see
...
