speak to me..

Published September 16, 2020 by lamarrwenrich

words alive
thriving within
springing fresh life
where we’ll begin..
becoming your poetry
undressing me slow
Layer by layer
as we go…
revealing the depths
of things unknown..
a wanton need
for you to read
all that I am..
exposing a spirit that can’t be tamed
a love that won’t be named..
hang in my wait time
as we discover anew
the many things we never knew..
mysterious and painful
it may be..
let’s delight
in watching us grow
it is food for our souls that will be whole..

    what if..

    if I leave the light on
    will my shadow come to life..
    will you know I’m real
    will you feel all my feels..
    if I stay still
    will I fade into the night
    no light bright enough to save me..
    will my secrets be revealed
    showing nothing to conceal..
    what if I leave the lights on
    Will the dark ever end
    can the night sky touch my soul
    making me whole..
    what if..

    Jagged edges..

    we are the beauty we speak
    unique, joyful
    in the love we seek..
    edges smoother
    there is no defeat..
    roaring through
    scars & bruises alike
    so much to gain
    in life’s pain..
    unevenly shaped
    beautifully jagged
    heart torn ragged
    from the irregular
    spectacular love
    we shape..

    dear me..

    happy to be here
    happy to see
    i’m swept up in moments
    dear to me..
    always changing
    always knowing
    blessed in life
    when I am growing..
    reflecting
    enjoying
    taking it in..
    pining for more
    moments I adore..
    jump for love
    soar with its’ highs
    grow through the lows..
    breathing in deeply
    the sorrows and woes..
    exhaling it out
    as the beauty unfolds
    the gifts of love
    my heart holds..

      Beguiled…

      Chaotic
      Murderous
      enchanting all the same
      this game of love
      has no name..
      Beguiling
      charming
      enthralling is your pain..
      no sight in end
      where my bending takes root..
      heart is blackened daily by all your soot..
      winning
      losing
      is there such a thing..
      Diseased, teased
      you rob me of my strength
      The malaise is mine
      our hearts intertwined
      I’ll wear the chaos
      I’ll walk the pain
      this heart & mind
      know only your name..

      Light my fire…

      our love is the blue hour
      quietly hidden
      between day and night..
      sparking colors that didn’t exist
      lighting up moments I can’t resist
      letting go of you
      would be to forfeit life..
      heart is wide open
      breathing in your every word..
      growing – shifting -bending- flowing
      love is there
      always ending
      with new beginnings..

      Indelible

      the ink has dried
      pages worn
      edges weathered
      so forlorn..
      Wrapped your love around me like a chain
      couldn’t withstand the hurricane..
      Words indelible
      quieting my heart..
      unspoken things
      between the lines
      staining my soul..
      with each moment they fade
      making me whole..
      closing the book
      we are no more
      between the beats of my heart
      forever more..

      Whole…

      I kiss each wound
      where it’s begun..
      The hurt shrouded beneath the brilliance of the sun..
      i wish the beauty of it to dance over you
      healing all that’s been stung..
      time to let go
      the winds howl loud
      a doleful cry is heard above the clouds…
      where you were torn
      will be shorn no more..

      Tracing lines of my soul…

      Tracing lines of my soul

      found my breath while I was drowning..
      Slow fire burning
      Oh how Im yearning..
      Heartbeats yours
      loud, fierce
      gentle, strong..
      determined to live out what’s mine
      a wrinkle of time is all
      that’s begun..
      warmth stirs my soul
      lingering on
      like the beauty of the sun and the stories it holds..

      Ghosting..

      Published May 27, 2020 by lamarrwenrich

      Ghosting…

      moving, breathing
      raw inside
      There are no words for things I hide
      wondering, pondering
      where did i go…
      was it real
      am I here
      Is it all fear…
      Invisible, gone
      ghosting is strong
      fighting through hard
      it’s all wrong…
      heart of steel
      be gone..
