love’s fickle thorn..

Published December 4, 2022 by lamarrwenrich



lover of my heart
magnet to my soul 
what began on that
unsuspecting day takes a toll..
a simple hello was all that was told
pushing me to the depths of the unknown.. 
unaware without a care 
to blissful to be afraid 
And a life of its’ own ran away 
from the home I’ve always known 
creating a love story with no roots to grow..
lost a part of me that day 
finding its’ way into your soul
leaving me floundering 
with no where to go..
vulnerable
scared 
my steps are growing me
double edged sword
my just reward..

edge of desire
let’s reach higher
don’t say a word 
just lie here beside me..
syllables twist us 
getting in the way 
defining how we should be 
what we should see.. 
doubting arises 
hysteria crisis
questioning who we are..
mind and heart reaching out 
closing up the gap of doubt 
looking to feel what is real 
see what is true..
clean the slate 
it’s not to late
let’s speak a language all our own 
find me I’m yours 
just take me home..

the crash of the waves 
the sun setting low 
creating sounds my heart
has never known..
warming through and through to the depths of my soul
enveloping my space 
traipsing to the soles of my bare feet 
draping me in ways that make me whole..
touches that can’t be replaced
fingers gently touching my face 
bringing life to my eyes 
seeing anew 
shuttering the dark 
setting fire to all I knew..
through the sunlight glow 
our love grows..

Delectable

whetting my appetite 
flavors unknown 
piquing curiosities that are full grown.. 
assortment of colors 
textures and feels 
this array of flavors 
to good to be real
creating sensations within my heart
setting my mind ablaze…
recipes of the unexpected 
Unpredictable 
Delectable delight..
filling my palate
slowly 
deliberately
savoring the taste 
awakening me to my senses 
there will be no haste..

haunted 
anguished 
empty without you 
heart beats slower
feet stuck in place 
sinking lower
looking for your face..
want you so bad
hard to believe 
frozen in time 
in this space
looking for moments that make you mine..
I’m here to stay 
won’t let you go away 
though the earth swallowed all that remained 
scared you’ll forget about me 
don’t let me be erased 
trying to embrace a world 
without we
because you’ve been set free..

so far away 
yet so close
never quite sure what I miss most..
all of you I suppose 
wrapping my mind heart and soul
being lost in you was not a goal.. 
the stars aligned as if it was foretold 
there would be no decision on my part to make 
heart was shaken
jolted awake..
alive revived
I walk through this world..
enlightened emboldened 
I open the door
leaving everything on the floor 
heart is full
and yet again 
you always leave me wanting more..

Unbridled..

yearning
insides churning 
giving it my all
the fruit of my body 
for the sins of my soul 
grasping for ways to make myself whole.. 
reeling 
spinning 
dizzy in the winning..
a change has begun 
sitting me still as light takes its’ run..
Thirsting for knowledge 
can’t do me harm
open to learning 
rewriting the wrong..
Unbound 
Unchained 
set loose within me 
is a new song..

Unveiled..

intriguing 
enthralling
captivates my mind
gripping 
absorbed 
lost within that time 
shrouded within the walls 
that have become my shrine..
there is no rhyme or rhythm
to this life no longer mine..
the veil flows so freely 
inviting in its’ beauty 
as he weaves himself around me 
bringing me up 
holding me down 
disguising its’ true purpose of keeping me bound..
unveil the mystery 
beguiling as it may be 
being lost to yourself 
is not the same as being set free..

Awakened..

The river flowing gently 
cascading over rocks 
harmonious sound of water 
washing away loss..
the sun is shining brightly 
illuminating the earth in golden hues 
bringing new color
to my mind of blues..
fragrance of lilies filling the air 
walking through colorful gardens 
sensing you everywhere 
speaks to my heart
of how much you care.. 
separate space 
silent gaps 
will not erase all that’s there.. 
we revel in sharing 
though we cannot taste 
the beauty of living 
what our hearts are giving..
there is healing 
when we are willing 
baring heart mind and soul 
to the beauty all around us 
making us whole..

chiseled with such precision 
everything is in place 
perfection outlining every space 
your spirit within me 
not a soul knew my face
love changed my gaze..
no longer held down by the haze of darkness 
a presence so bright 
like the stars lighting the night 
you lit up my life..
revealing each part of me 
loving me in spite..
no carving out this heart 
no boxing me away 
exactly who I am 
is she who’s here to stay..
