state of being..
sharing love laughter and pain..
affection and its’ beauty
creating connection
spanning through a lifetime
enduring every season..
changes come
unraveling without reason..
its’ purpose well served
without sadness we’d miss the taste of sweetness
changes go
there we grow..
living out the joy of this friendship we have come to know..
your smile changes dark to light
invisible strings binding us tight..
The laughter
a friendship
it’s pure delight..
I choose…

you’re here
you’re there..
In the walls i feel you
In the books I hear you
In the space that times forgetting..
spilling over and covering me whole..
that face hidden
untouchable
boxed away for another day
while I search for ways to run..
your love
absorbs my mind
dwells in my heart..
maybe one day
I’ll come down from it
for now I choose to stay..
In the light..

Cluttered
Buried
lost in the shuffle
deeper & deeper
into the shadows you fall…
confusion abounds
all your madness
your sadness
rallying around…
don’t fear the inevitable
don’t fear the dark
your secrets and scars
they are who you are…
soul wrenching and beautiful
you’re never alone
your worth is revealed
your essence renewed…
hold those moments closely
as you’re opened up wide…
Inescapable shadows
define us all
stay in the light
so they shine bright…
shed the skin
the baggage you’re in
as pure beauty is discovered
watch your shadow rise
to an inevitable end..
Perfect Storm

always so right
connected tight..
from the heart
to the fingertips
you delight..
tangled up
hands & Feet
hearts
thoughts
mind unwinds..
upside down
Inside out
All around
drowning alive
in you I thrive..
a rare chance
a lifetime dance
how long will I want you
how long will we be
as long as the sea flows
there’s a you and me..
combustible
wonderful
particularly mad
perfection in the storm
Intoxicated by love
until it’s been had..
My cup…
Published May 19, 2021 by lamarrwenrich
it runneth over
trickling down
sweet nectar is found
releasing its’ crown
cleansing & healing
creating new sound..
truth from noise
the bitter from sweet
lighting the dark
grounding my feet..
it’s sorrow
It’s joy
eternally linked
like day & night
both equally sweet..
every last drop of me
bows at your feet
It’s beauty
It’s wonder
my cup runneth over
there is no defeat..
between the moments…
Published May 15, 2021 by lamarrwenrich
between the moments of living and dying
there are moments divine
We are many kinds of beautiful..
watching the sun set one last time
the beauty in the darkness
the hope in the empty
And the warmth in the coldness of goodbyes..
There is a morning after
We won’t have to search anymore..
fascinated how we can become undone
yet remain as one..
Tricks of time..

It marches on
passage of time
clutching on to everyone..
you think you’ve won
mastering the moments of it all
catching you off guard -
you slowly fall..
friend or foe
Who’s to know
it gives as much as it takes..
it’s a gift
Let’s not hate nor escape
we aren’t glass
we won’t break
let’s celebrate each moment
we awake...
It takes us up
It takes us down
often times left spinning round..
the tick is tocking
the beauty of life talking
waiting to share its’ moments of love..
Don’t despair
be the rare one who knows
what he’s won..
impossible to hold
it disintegrates into gold..
time is always new
the ticking has just begun..
Tapestry…
Published March 25, 2021 by lamarrwenrich
bits of blue — for all my stories lived
bits of gold —for the ones untold
Vibrant life of colors
for all the dreams I hold..
my hand has never been empty
my heart overflows..
the outpour bleeds of the beauty deep within
the folds of joy rippling over into
the sorrows
shaping out the hollow..
I weep for the dark spaces as the tapestry unravels
I marvel at the beauty that rises back
Smiling as the colors seep
Creating the ever changing glow
I’ve come to know...
blown – glass heart…
Published March 10, 2021 by lamarrwenrich
if my heart could speak
your knees would cave weak..
immeasurable beauty
as far as the eye sees..
broken pieces blown out
shaped and renewed
mapping out my heart
it all leads to you..
in ways unknown
love pours into me
Washing me free
I can be
You can be
a creation that all can see..
Untouchable, unreal
feeling the beauty
of our blown glass hearts
love marks & scars
Unique to us..
Absence of light
a necessary dark
Giving way to
the beat of my heart..
A beautiful sound
a melodious tune
dancing us free
you’re all I see..
my ghost
Published February 14, 2021 by lamarrwenrichmy ghost
Still frame has been set
images designed
owning my mind..
last time I touch your face
Before it’s all erased..
Constricted, sealed
heart tightens like a vise
while time steals & kills
capturing life..
Dancing on my grave
acting so brave
Spoken words vanish
as your breath dissipates..
Tears release the love
Hidden in the fall
our ghosts woven together
Through it all..
No one will ever know me
quite as well...
