Untempered 

Published September 27, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

Love..

full of raw emotion 

and vulnerabilities..

beautiful, full of life 

And terrifying in its’ unknown..

love beyond your sensibilities 

immerse yourself into the moments 

they are yours to live 

To explore

Put your hand in the Flame

Let it set you on fire 

exist in untempered love 

Unmoderated..

Go as high as the flame will burn before it dies out..

That spark 

will rekindle time after time 

good or bad 

Happy or sad 

shred the moments 

Devour them..

Love in itself is both intense and beautiful 

Better to be skinned alive 

than to never know

a love not lessened by anything..

Au Revoir..

I wished to live..

pleading, begging on my knees at times..

struggling for the good,

fighting for air,

my fight wild and everywhere..

aiming for high

for every low..

somehow You thought not

how could You know..

How can that be?

I gave it my all

No holds barred..

through the decimation of my heart and a raping of my soul I persevered..

yet somehow You see through eyes of old, of new, of past and present

Of things to be..

help my loves now

see through fresh eyes,

eyes of yours..

ones that see hope through despair,

ones that see light through dark,

Eyes that stay open

as mine close to rest..

I’m letting go now

For I believe

I once was lost but now I’m free..

The child in my heart will always rise above..

Seeking, hoping,

Knowing there is more to come..

Wild&Mysterious

the draw is unimaginable.. my heart & mind can’t reconcile the mystery of you..

It is wild

Beautiful in its’ unknown

Captivating without touch.. yet you know me inside out

You have this mysterious way of reading me,

changing me,

renewing me..

There is a pitch and cadence to you that causes thunder in my heart..

You have my attention

I will be patient

my time is yours..

nothing has nourished my soul like this

Nothing can compare..

Bloody Victory

Published September 12, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

The wounds are hemorrhaging..

the torture to great to bear.. the heart oozes with agony.. the ugly, the hurt, the groans and moans drowning her out..

no longer concealed within her psyche

there are gaping holes everywhere..

puncture wounds that bandages can not contain, as pieces of her are scattered about..

the stench of her rotting soul engulfs her

The suffocation causing her to run

She looks around blindly, unable to see through her shaded eyes..

gasping for air

desperate enough

She welcomes the thought of newness..

of being rescued from herself

for she has finally seen the light..

No Such Thing

Published September 8, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

Theories..

scientific, romantic, outlandish –

All prolific in our minds..

daydreams that give color to my black & white world..

whimsical fantasies created in the hopes of ones’ playful wishes..

perhaps an obsession never a reality..

and then you appeared..

I lost my footing as fantasy and reality blurred..

you became the skin wrapped around my skeleton..

Plausible..

the muscle between my skin and bones changing me..

You are my theory..

Anything is possible..

Heart & Mind

Published September 7, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

In a lightning quick descent of madness,

It began..

the storm clearing

sun appearing

and the noises changing..

nothing making sense

no right, no wrong

It just was..

Her mind incapable of stopping it – plans grew.. details formed all on their own –

so thorough – she was frightened..

A plethora of firsts..

her hands shaking as she placed them on the sides of her head – willing the thoughts to stop as they ran rampant..

A quiet hum that was ever present exploding into a loud crescendo..

That only her ears could hear

Only her mind could know

Only her heart felt

Others blind to it..

Welcoming the unknown

She feels a strength in the unity of her heart & mind..weakness falling to the wayside..

She will walk before the scorching sun and welcome the warmth as it shares its’ love with her..

High.. Low..

Published August 29, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

Love is love

grand, in all its’ splendor

It stands alone

magical in all its’ moments..

euphoric

manic

The highest high

The lowest low

twist & turns that bring you to your knees

filling your heart to the brim

wild moments within

until it overflows..

Take a shot of courage

Give it your best

Accept it back with grace

be humble, be open

Forgiving & soft

Let your passion be unbridled in all things

your love be the place they rest their heart..

And it will be you who is set free..

Overcome

Published August 19, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

Though the depth of despair lays bare your soul

There’s a beauty to your willingness to be broken

your openness to overcome is breathtaking

A mystery I’ll always try to understand

the warmth of your sun shines through

thawing the icy cold

I see the whole world in your eyes

your struggle giving you an inner strength

that is unexplainable

refusing to fall

You are a vessel of hope

Giving us strength

teaching us all monsters want the same thing:

destruction…

never let them take over

You are more than the despondency within

You are the light that guides me home

Animal cry…

Published August 6, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

a heart wrenching wail..
so visceral – I feel you cut to my core..
Just let go
What used to be doesn't count anymore..
I'll teach you how to do it new
I won't let you say goodbye
I won't watch you give up
You cry out silently –
eyes begging for help..
see what's before you..
I will be the she who holds out her hand
The anchor who won't let go..
Hear the scream of my heart
listen to the loudness of my animal cry for you..
I'm the beast who will fight your demons
until your mind is no longer weary,
Until your heart is beating on its' own
Until your legs find the strength & courage to carry you home
Because that is what love does..

Dance of Life

Published August 6, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

my imagination alive and well,
lingers on past the moments that fill my soul..
Tinkering about this quiet home and stepping around the sweet bodies sprawled about,
my thoughts race as I see the future before me and I hope, I wish, I pray for grace upon these innocents..
my humans..
such a gift; a purpose to love another soul in the most miraculous of ways
studying them in their slumber.. to watch the heart beat and know a beautiful life is within..
The dance of life can be loud, quiet, happy, sad, full and empty
But it's a beat worth moving to..
swaying to the rhythm
Keep shouting through life – your ears will love the sound of fighting for love
and your heart will live for it..
The curiosity of it all feeds my soul..
