Kelly Boutin Poems

Where are friends when you need them most?
Everyone is just a ghost
a wisp of person
a figure undefined
...

Nobody likes me
I’m a little black seed
let me climb above the vine
and be a watermelon tree.
...

I've grown up past my years,
I live in a world I never was born,
I'm in love with a place that doesn't exist,
but there can be.
...

It's our first time alone
we're not like other families,
why won't you look at me?
I won't know for years
...

Love is like a lullaby
that comes and goes with the time.
Love is like a freight-train song
that tells us that we belong,
...

Welcome to the land of the unknown
I see you have come here alone

Are you searching for a friend,
...

Now it's time to pay the piper
for the time that we have lost
We've been given pretty wings
but we chose to lick the dust
...

I feel a deep desire inside
A need to get away
From a life I have wanted my whole life
A cage I have played to make
...

Komorebi, Komorebi

I see you when I feel alone
When I get lost in the world
...

You're such a beautiful Willow
So soft and sweet and gentle
My Love, I love to love you
Under the shade of the willow
...
