beautiful quiet

Published October 21, 2016 by lamarrwenrich

 

It flows without effort
Intimacy is everything
the timeless affection affinity and warmth
the smiles
hands touching
Moments of missing and not missing
The stolen glances
full of wonder
The quiet shared
It’s bewildering, romantic and beautiful all at once
The connectedness of our soul draws us back from wherever our hearts &minds have been
And suddenly Your words fill the space and I’m wrapped in you
and the harmony of our hearts cannot be stopped..
I love you in all our silence

Immersed

Published October 15, 2016 by lamarrwenrich

 

as you are hustling and bustling to get there
to arrive
to achieve
to complete your dreams
let your eyes fall open wide
catch it in technicolor..
Are you immersed in it
Touching breathing tasting the sweet moments
savoring the beauty of it..
Slow down
There is no such thing as arriving
it’s ever changing..
Don’t look for it
Don’t race to it
Let the sensation of living grab hold of you
Let life be your muse
Steady your pace
it’s not worth taxing your heart
exhausting your mind
be carefree in the desires of your heart
let it be one that is captivated by the moments

Live&Die on Love

Published October 5, 2016 by lamarrwenrich

Love..
It doesn’t discriminate
It catches you unaware
No prejudicial treatment there
Death doesn’t differentiate either
It knows no difference of race sex or age
We all fall the same
Love the same
hurt and live the same
hard to distinguish Between the sinner & the saint
I could be life I could be death
Could be love could be hate
Let me stay and show you what I’ll create
When you smile I fall apart
tears trickle down my face
I’ve always thought
sacredness lies within them
Not cowardice..
It’s a love that knows no bounds
Yet love itself binds me up until I can no longer see..
Get lost in me
And you will see what a
Contradiction love can be..

Except Everything..

Published September 16, 2016 by lamarrwenrich

 

For one moment you have peace
All is okay in the world
until it isn’t
And in that instant we panic
Run – give up..
Hope so easily lost
We forget the trenches we’ve climbed out of
The mountains we’ve scaled
The pain we’ve endured
The strength that we discovered within through the love that carries us
Don’t fear the changes
They will come
Let it grow you – inspire you – push you move you and
As the wind blows you here&there
loosen your grip
Listen to the whispers of life as it whirls you about
There is a gentleness to be found in chaos
The only constant in life is
Nothing really changes
except everything

Nomadic Heart..

Published September 8, 2016 by lamarrwenrich

 

The chill of your heart seeps through to my bones leaving me frigid
My heart is not wooden
I will not die while I’m living
I reach out craving the feeling of you
My hand falls through the empty dead space
dread fills my heart
Stop holding on so tight to hate
Just let yourself be held
aren’t you tired of running..
my arms can hold you still
fill you with meaning
It’s the simple things that
Create the good things
let my warmth thaw the frost surrounding you and
my love will wrap around your heart
Set those vagabond feet still
and wandering will be no more..

Above All Else

Published September 2, 2016 by lamarrwenrich

 

Revenge..
What is its’ purpose
so aggressive in its’ silence
Poisoning us to the core
So loud in its’ destructive ways
Mutilating souls from the inside out..
Silently dulling our senses
Until we no longer see
We no longer hear
We no longer feel
We are no longer real
giving us hearts of steel.
Fight against it..
Resist
Don’t say you can’t
But of course you can
you will find a way out
walk through it until you own it
find the freedom of being present here&now
And not looking behind or to be ahead
It’s now that counts.. The rest is gone or not quite here
love the simple of the moment
That is what makes life so grand.. the complex simple
The ugly beautiful – the pain bearable..
Bitter should never take root in your beautiful heart
let life explode within it..

Running Free

Published August 29, 2016 by lamarrwenrich

 

Full of life and love in the liveliest of ways
gradually percolating through me until you filled each pore of my heart
filling me with an expectant energy
exuberant animated alive
Your heart is speaking loud
even in your absence
my heart is flying
It can’t be contained
I find you in my waking hours
I feel you in my slumber
All we are is true
from beginning to end
A day like today-once upon a time-defined us
creating such truth that love would never be the same
You were designed to inspire and awaken my soul
With each word we became us
I’ll always think of you as me forever to be
memories alone will get us through
Chasing the dream that I see
My heart is running free
as it should be..

Broken Mind

Published August 29, 2016 by lamarrwenrich

 

clenching so tight her hands hurt
every muscle tense as perspiration bubbled on her soft pale skin
she gasped, as she realized the battle was done
The long hard struggle was no more..
Breathing in deeply, she fell to her knees collapsing in tears..
Her tired mind no longer racing, the turmoil silenced..
She tried putting thoughts together;
wondering how she’d ever breathe again..
She wanted to
She wanted to try but all she could do was cry
She told herself to move, to leave it all behind
But without him, there was no place to go..
She couldn’t fathom the unthinkable
The dark night beckoned her with promises untold
Closing her eyes, her hands fell open as her face softened..
Her soul gave way to the dark night
What had begun was done..

Numb no more..

Published August 23, 2016 by lamarrwenrich

 

Tender whispers of love thundering through me
I hear it trying to break through
Tears rolling gently down my face as they silently splash the floor..
There is no anger, no rush, no push, nor condemnation in these emotions.. Just the sweetest tug of assurance that life is awaiting..
encouraging me to leave behind the fear that binds and chokes so tightly
The whispers & tears delicately wrapping around me ever so tenderly
determined to draw me back into life
Until they uncover my heart from the dark shadows that have numbed it..

More than Me

Published August 16, 2016 by lamarrwenrich

 

Yesterday no more..
Death has been my constant companion for many a days now
flirting with my mind
taunting me
Trying to spin around me like a spider webbing his victim..
cloaking me with fear
I battle through
Death won’t take me
It shakes me
It wakes me
But will never break me..
Death can’t own me
I’ve been set free
I’ll face my trepidations with courage for I know I’ll grow..
understanding not all things are easy to accept
while some things are worth dying for..
I have no control so I’m letting go
I’m not behind me
nor in front
I’m right here right now – in the present – this is the moment that counts
I will live it like I mean it while I can
because life is more than me..
