waking you

Published January 26, 2023 by lamarrwenrich 



anger ignites 
flaming ugly to life 
bringing with it strife..
snuff it out 
burn it whole 
there’s more to life than this madness 
change up your goals..
dawning of new possibilities 
imaginations taking you to novel places 
new words begin to fill the spaces 
rich and clear and true.. 
take hold of my hand 
make a stand 
let those dreams keep waking you 
shaking you to new realms..
walk through the doors of my mind..
unwind into the love that can so easily bind
burying the white noise that owns your mind 
never lose the meaning of all that is gleaming from within..




Deaths’ sting..

Published January 11, 2023 by lamarrwenrich 


so painful it’s dangerous 
the wound is poison 
absorbing my heart..
lingering on
black clouds shadowing me 
Insidious hands boxing me in
falling apart 
broken
truths that shatter my heart..
bruised skin 
battered mind
you won’t win
standing at the edge of the abyss
it’s you I miss..
Bittersweet 
I feel you 
I hear you 
I taste you..
starting to live again 
there you are 
in the middle of the day 
in the middle of the night 
letting me know it’ll be alright..
no more sorrow 
no regrets 
letting go
death has lost its’ sting 
my heart will sing..

loving hard..

making these moments last 
no past to break the mood 
no future to steal it away.. 
slowly giving in
gently learning to breathe again 
raining down on me
washed anew.. 
you came along 
like a song 
singing a tune 
that woke me from slumber..
though you were gone
by the end of the song
my heart was sparked
wrapping around the melodic words that linger on..
traces of you cover my heart 
sending me to new places
no longer afraid to love hard..

Reflections..

Published January 4, 2023 by lamarrwenrich 


searching 
yearning 
heart brimming 
empty 
full 
Is there a rule..
knowing so much 
revealing so little..
baffled 
I see my reflection and beyond -
the hope 
the loneliness 
and the gift of love..
each carrying a life sentence of its’ own..
distinct
blinding  
leading us on
time alluding us before we know it’s gone..
we get small unaware 
the shadow of life covers us all
the tunnel will bury us 
Or we can stand tall
the draw is the light
at the end of the night..


Artistry of you..

Published January 2, 2023 by lamarrwenrich 


creatively unleashing my inner being
skillfully honing the moments you’re owning 
the ability to create a tune in me that didn’t exist 
you are my songbird..
a melody unique to my heartbeat 
lost in our song
swaying to the unknown.. 
don’t say a word 
our silence is golden 
shaping my every thought 
my mind is wrought with the possibilities loving you brings.. 
my heart singing effortlessly 
Elaborately embellished by the beauty you bring..

Skin..

binding
unchanging 
as natural as can be
covering outer layers 
this hide is what I need..
holding
molding
loving me free..
wrapping me tight 
tough yet flexible 
your love - my delight.. 
protective 
my warrior 
you are my might..
no barriers between us 
heart to heart we connect 
skin to skin 
we have grown 
flesh to flesh 
mine to behold 
no other skin I’d rather know..

sum of its’ parts..

Published December 19, 2022 by lamarrwenrich 


every crevice 
stained with love 
open vulnerable 
reveling in our space.. 
creating and filling gaps
we’re revealing
weaving together
the tiniest of loosened threads
least they come undone..
unwilling to unravel 
any part of what’s begun..
bigger than the sum of its’ parts 
moments making us whole 
sharing hearts
sealing the fabric of time
that has made you mine..

Tilted..

Published December 14, 2022 by lamarrwenrich 



slipping, sliding 
into the mess it’s become..
mental, emotional 
confusion at best 
a crime to my being 
you know the rest 
lunging at your core
it’s mine to score.. 
giving up rights 
to keep you in sight..
eyesight is failing 
can’t see straight anymore 
a heart is left wailing..
who could have guessed 
love clutches hate
leaving the loudest quiet in 
its’ wake..
Tilted
sloping 
heart left groping..

Nicotine..

A habit 
unaware or by choice..
My habit 
chosen 
hear my voice..
slow burning within 
churning heart mind and soul into one..
addictive 
my stimulant 
keeping me high.. 
my depressant 
for all the unknown whys.. 
love induced high 
absorbing into my bloodstream 
heart rate rising 
chaos on the horizon.. 
you are all good feelings
all at once
adrenaline spiked..
my nightshade 
cutting through me
like a sharp edged blade..
