TrailBlazing..

Published June 4, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

we lit up the paths behind us, 

burning so bright with each venture we’d race to..

each new door we’d dare to jump through 

Unafraid where we’d land.. knowing we were hand in hand

embracing the unknown 

Fearless in our quest for life..

it now blankets our insides, suffocating our outsides

the darkness of fear eclipsing the light that shined so bright 

the silence so eerie, it is all we hear..

Let’s start a fire 

Burning up the apparitions that have become us, burying the ghosts we hide in

watching till fear is no more 

Awake with me

Let’s ignite the trails till they roar..

Blank Page..

Published May 27, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

We will always be the unfinished story 

the hope of lost moments 

unspoken dreams 

the taste of sweetness throughout me 

it lifts me when I’m down 

pushes me to go on

take my hand, let’s carry on 

my mind renewed as the heart leads the way 

writing what it knows 

fascinated, captivated

the pen comes to life 

etching out details to beautiful to share 

real love is messy

it is blissful madness..

We are everything&nothing

the blank page will remain so

the ending always changing 

as our story goes on & on..

thoughts steady as I go

the little things 

Published May 24, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

Love without depth is weak 

succumbing to the many distractions 

running its’ course until it’s undone 

without softness it

lacks a fragile tenderness leaving it hollow

the emptiness hardening as it covers up the hurts..

Be vigilant 

It’s the little things 

The unspoken thoughts showing through in actions.. that silent love – the most beautiful sound your heart has ever heard..

little things mean a lot more in love..

The Ties That Bind..

Published May 16, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

A connection, a bond

The smallest of ties..

A story behind every story 

A reason, a why 

for the smile 

for the pain 

An overlapping of the unknown 

A string that draws us in 

making all of us a part of the other 

Our ups, our downs 

our triumphs, our losses..

so simple, so complex

so wonderful, so not 

with everything in between..

Let the strings that connect our thoughts & our hearts

create a link so strong that our differences will fade 

And love will be the reason and the why 

of a you and an I..

Puzzle Pieces

Published May 14, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

 

Somewhere in my brokenness I’m whole
The brand new me wears a new coat of paint
Splashes of color filling the empty spaces
happy to never being the same
New shades of peace cover me and the rain will not wash it away
uncertainty is nothing to fear..
Nothing to explain as I step out onto this new plane waiting for the lines to join..
The many puzzle pieces that have become me
I’m intrigued
stepping strong i move on
courageous in the unknown
I can do this on my own
I see the shadow of your smile
Mesmerized..it lights my way and I like where it leads..

Rise Up

Published April 30, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

 
inside the demons hide
and the moments are colder
yet love blankets my bones
it’s so dark
the bright not seeping in..
I feel the howling whispers of defeat
the booming silence in this empty space
bores into my soul
The mental breakdown breaking something in me already wounded
Rising- I will face it with a steadfast perspective riding the ever changing tide of emotion and circumstance..
For now I will learn to listen in the dark
Knowing each moment holds the chance of a fresh new start

Silent War..

Published April 21, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

 

You, her, me,
them, they, us..
scrutinizing each other until the words decimate the soul..
lies become truth
Wrongs become right..
The silent war is on
It’s lethal
Fatalities high
Jealousy causing a disease within us..
rotting to the core until we are no more
Critiquing never ends
So much hurt
desensitization real..
Intense pretty blue eyes
shading the hate
Brown eyes dull with pain
green eyes no longer sparkle
ridicule has had its’ way far too long
shredding her along the way, tearing you down
Until we are a wisp of a shadow of who they once were..
though the smile is present, her laugh out loud,
she has decayed inside
The smell unbearable
The pain crushing
until she can fight no more..
No one wins
as we all disappear within the mirror of fear we’ve learned to hate..

Unique

Published April 18, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

 

Distinct
Exceptional
Courageous in your uniqueness
You make me better
No pretense
Loving freely, honestly, completely
You’ve awoken a gentle rage within
It moves me
Wonder if you’ll ever understand
All I need is your hand
There is no bondage
No chains, no rules
Hope can be a weapon
Go ahead ‘n’ pull the trigger
It’s worth the fall
For I haven broken free

One more time..

Published April 11, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

 

How do I stand at the abyss and not fall in..
the nightmare a reality
They need me to stay strong..
How do I keep my heart from giving in
It feels what my eyes see
It hears the violent truths my ears hear
It can’t escape what my mind can’t fathom..
I’m haunted
This space can’t exist without you
my walls will come tumbling down
Crushing me
Who will save me if I can’t save you
my heart is so weary
How do I protect you
Keep the chains of pain away from you
my heart runs cold from fear..
My eyes will close with yours
So I can see your smile
Hear your giggles
Feel those little hands reaching out and touching me
my heart needs yours..
maybe one day I’ll breathe again
maybe not
What I’d give to breath your air for a lifetime..

Whirlwind..

Published April 10, 2017 by lamarrwenrich

 

all your emotions whirling about
I taste the sweetness of your love in the air
surrounding me with every breath I take
My Heart pounding to the intake of you
until I surrender
Unrelenting..
A blessing or a curse to care so..
Your gaze – seeing through to my soul
It’s beautiful
A love that fills me to my core
making me complete
I’ll bear your wind and live in the whirlwind that follows..
