Setting We free..

Published December 11, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

Stuck..

that battle is fierce between me, myself and I..

Is she more than me..

Multifaceted

Here there and everywhere..

or broken pieces scattered about..

am I still free to just be?

Or am I her she and we – and me is lost in between..

The thoughts rage on..

Why does one self insist it is better than the other?

It is plain and simple and beautiful and complex

Quite wonderful really..

That mind

Those thoughts..

they are everything –

so powerful and full of wonder..

Love and every good thing come from it,

filtering through my body – making me who she ought to be..

It is my mind that wakes me, shakes me, catapulting me into another orbit – capturing my attention and sends my heart soaring..

so powerful to learn that self-love is more than just a feeling..

I am grateful that while I see the rain

she sees the rainbow..

I realize how much I like her and

The innocence of hope is restored for all of me

And

I wish to be her, she, me and we..

Waking slowly..

so painful words don’t come..

so numbing

with each limb aching..

it is surreal – wake me up..

and let me never wake again..

Will I feel what’s real

Or stay in this dreamlike nightmare existence..

time alludes me

I’ve disappeared – slipping into the cracks and i am certain I’ll become dust

simply disintegrating..

then the love comes –

in numbers unexpected

in ways unimagined

and with each stitch of love

my pieces are slowly grafted back together..

Crooked, messy and uneven.. never to match up perfectly again

but the strings keep pulling tighter – and somehow they hold me together..

my insides don’t pour out- though I feel hollow..

and somehow I don’t hit bottom like dead weight-though I feel like I’ve exploded inside out..

no- somehow l only skim the surface of hell

and invisible gentle hands put the embers out before I implode into flames

And hope catches me and it

saves me..

Thrumming..

Published December 6, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

What a delightful sound

It is beautiful to my heart..

i love the beat of yours..

thrumming a melody no one can hear..

the ins & outs of your innocent mind wow me

It’s so wildly different

A unique piece of art that makes up you

May no one change a thing about you

May you never fall victim to that

Though some may find you monotonous and

Some may find you ever-changing

just know your kind of perfection is hard to find..

Rare beautiful hope..

Untouched you shall remain –

continue on in your own enchanting, rhythmic hum..

It is a chant no one can compare..

Cellophane..

Published December 5, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

Grabbing tight the sweet moments

sealing them in..

searing it into my heart

my mind & soul..

for surely they will come&go

Love has taught me so..

The flavor of life is what I choose to drink in – seeping through my pores to the very core of my being..

Let the aroma tantalize my senses

balmy, soothing, calming to my mind

Drench me in the fragrance of it..

Though my heart is transparent – paper like in its’ love-

I am not afraid..

Unaffected, untouched, immune

for i am locked into the eclectic savory taste of life..

Silent Uproar

the sounds hold me tight..

their words – in the still of night are reassuring-

Letting me know I’m not alone..

No madness here

in the dark..

Within the recesses of my mind

my world is perfect..

You wrangle to pull me free because you cannot see the beauty of my bedlam..

People milling about –

always in a frenzied state.. it’s you who live in mayhem..

while my feet shuffle me peacefully to my unknown..

Cars whiz past me heading to their destinations..

All of you living lies,

all of you lost in the rat race – the human race..

my eyes shade me from the harm you mean for me

My mind – my protector covers me..

All the while you tell me it is madness to fall into the arms of the street..

I have no time to waste – trying to arrive to my place

I will celebrate the pandemonium my own way..

Unparalleled

Published November 25, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

It’s done

You won..

soothing words settling my soul

You inspire a beautiful burning hunger within..

What is it worth

if it lacks love..

What does it prosper if I can’t find my way out..

You gave me direction in my lost world –

raw, real, honest

One of a kind – planting me so firmly

I will sway every which way – yet never loose my footing

The more I understand the less I know..

I only know

You give all you have –

Unparalleled..

The very best

Because it is for us..

Stitches..

Published November 19, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

 

Burgeoning, flourishing, alive..
each moment budding into a better person..
Awakened..
suddenly aware of how much life is in each moment;
lived or wasted by choice..
the trajectory of the moments changing..
sending me flying into orbit as I discover the many shapes of me..
My heart – a geometry of sorts..
Lines curves and angles all intersecting..
an arrangement of the parts of my heart all stitched together into a beautiful symmetrical love..

Impossibly Real

Published November 14, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

Impossible intangible invisible..

real as can be

Something is about to give

Push the pedal down

let it take you

It’s unknown how hard the push will be

Or where you will be when you are set free

You have nothing left to lose..

Broken fractured souls

are healed in the freedom

of giving into the mystery..

scream until the light breaks through

Until the streaks of sunlight make you glow..

You aren’t the only fractured soul waiting to be made whole

Your lowest low will rise you to the highest highs..

Hold on tight

The other side is sweeter than sweet

And will fill you with delight..

Beauty Marks

Published November 5, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

With a grateful heart

may wise words slip from my mouth

left to inspire – desire and encourage life

Words.. lasting, ingrained, haunting..

they take on a life of their own

Only to be buried but never forgotten..

expressions that fill you or kill you..

for the seeds are sprinkled

and syllables take root

wrapping around your mind finding their way to the heart & soul..

Tread gently – speak softly –

create the quiet, so you can hear the impact you leave behind

And

watch the indelible etchings you carve into their heart..

Beauty marks that cannot be removed..

Ugly Beautiful

Published October 26, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

battered, bruised and chipped apart

but we are solidly rooted

grounded in love..

misshapen – with an unspoken beauty-

an inward badge of hope, courage and strength..

We stand strong

like the statuesque oak tree that weathers the storms –

as it creaks and moans in its’ twists & turns..

we -too- bend to the mighty winds – growing in wisdom, connecting and forming to other branches – until we are so solid – no force can shake us..

standing firm in our twisted stance – we are beauty –

catching the eyes of passersby

sharing feelings of great expectations and desires of hope..
