Raise Your Glass

Published May 20, 2016 by lamarrwenrich

Crushing to watch it disappear
evaporating into thin air as if it never was..
Oh how I had pictured our moments..
One after the other
never ending..
A love that would finally get the time to be.. to share, to grow, absorbing each other until our breath was one..
We’d only just begun before it was done
I imagined a slowing of time
Staying put awhile
It was not to be
Couldn’t keep you still
We were Beautiful..
why does this darkness feel like it has covered us in filth
overshadowing the light that lit my way
You made all my crooked paths straight
With purpose.. meaning..
So hard to breathe now
This chokehold will never release me
I don’t wish to be
Your ghost I want to always see
Human fingerprints permanent stains
leaving their marks of love all around
When the sun goes down on us and there’s no turning back
I hope you raise your glass to all that was and your heart is set free
Should you turn around and reach for me
I’ll always be a breath away from wherever you will be..

Timeless Moments

Published May 18, 2016 by lamarrwenrich

Anticipation – one of a kind I never knew
Imagination going wild
excitement about the unknown
Tired feet happy heart achy body
so in love with the love spreading through me
And just like that
I am forever changed..
In an Instant
a new heart I bare
each tear filled with you&I
A hush falls over me awestruck, captivated
Enthralled by the ball of joy in my arms..
Feeling lost for a moment, tinged with sadness
a jealousy that I must share this oneness with the world
and exhilarated to show off my gift
Pink baby toes
Wiggly chubby fingers
tickles giggles and fresh baby smells..
cutest bald head to wisps of hair
babbling to talking
Crawling to running
Wanting to please me to shutting me out and back again
Treasured moments teaching you.. watching you grow in size wisdom and love
Priceless ones realizing you taught me back and you taught me well..
How to love unconditionally
How to walk through hurts pains as well as happy –
through it all
love remains the same..
Moments I wish to freeze
wrapping my arms around it
forever frozen in time
It warms my heart..
A love that will stand the test of time and beyond..
You are my story of life

Set You Free

Published May 13, 2016 by lamarrwenrich

My heart will call it a day..
Listened very closely
heard a soul crying out
And realized it is my own
all alone..
You have moved on
Leaving me behind
I don’t belong here any more
love so easily turned off and on at will it seems..
Did I not permeate your soul
Your being as you did mine..
Or did I live this love on my own wishing what I see to be the truth that I dream..
Just Couldn’t be..
For you see
My heart has grown – it’s been set free
My once shut eyes
Can finally see
My ears alive – dancing to the beat
My life full – richer because of you..
So in my pain
I see all I’ve gained
My broken heart overflowing with love that can’t be contained..
With all my strength I’ll let you be
I’ve set you free
As you did me..

Runneth Over

Published May 12, 2016 by lamarrwenrich

steeped so deeply in you
I’m completely submerged
heart open and soaking up all you are
cleansing, renewing
until every part of me is softened – letting go
Giving my all
nothing left but you..
You read me through my heart
I’m overcome
Two becoming one
A seed of pure love that will forever grow
A unity that fills us up
my cup runneth over
Extract the flavor of me
cover my mouth with yours
Kiss me slowly into the night
while I rest in your love..

Uncharted Passion

Published May 9, 2016 by lamarrwenrich

Explore with me
the uncharted space between us
Fear replaced by eagerness
ready to run through this unfamiliar territory connecting our minds
Can’t seem to get enough
I just want to hang around
Feet on the ground
Unlike anything before
I like you so much
sweetest genuine crooked smile lighting up your face
Your jagged worn heart
filling in my broken pieces in all the right ways
making us whole
Let’s do this unknown together
Walk into my heart
We have
Longer than forever..
Come what may
Face to face
Journey with me
as we map out the undiscovered depths of our hearts

Discover Me

Published May 4, 2016 by lamarrwenrich

Undress me
Layer by layer
Uncover me
Make known the unknown..
Your existence I wish to dwell in
Would you cover me in it
Something from you that’s out of the norm
Moments All my own
Would you dare to let go..
Let me in your thoughts
I go dark when
Your mind shuts me out
Leaving me radio silence and a Bleeding heart
There is beauty behind our
madness
You got me running circles
would you dare to catch me
or am I chasing my own tail..
make me your exception
The warmth of your smile melts away my cold
let my gentleness touch you inside
There is a space filled only by us
We are exactly how it should be..
Don’t give up before we try
Unearth what surely will let us fly..

Redemption

Published April 28, 2016 by lamarrwenrich

Confinement..
Breaking away was all she could think about..
She walked out to the water to lose her thoughts..
Her long auburn hair wisped about as the cool wind wrapped its’ gentleness around her..
A smile slowly spreading across her sun kissed cheeks as an unexpected giggle escaped from
her mouth..
She had forgotten how it felt to be carefree
Wondering when she quit feeling the ocean breeze
Drinking in the fresh salt air while she’d romp freely through the waves
Drudgery..
She wore it well
When did it all become so
dull
A labor without love..
Time to quell the distaste from her mind
No more mindless anything
Take herself out of it
Let go of the menial
Breathe until she’s filled up
Unbury what has been lost & forgotten
It’s so easy to be the living dead
Wanting changes
Her mind reset..
Let’s start anew
Let our hearts race wildly
Alive with life, speaking out loud once again
Stop the closing of her eyes
Shutter open the windows of her heart
All she has is now
Why wait
What is she waiting for
While she watches herself wither away..
She felt it loud&clear..
Don’t wait till it’s too late
Kidnap the life that ensnares you
Run
Hold yourself hostage
demand living for the ransom
And only then do you set yourself free..

Loudness of Love

Published April 24, 2016 by lamarrwenrich

Crescendo..
feeling the intensity as you say it..
my name – spoken so strongly so gently – safe in your mouth
Protected and loved is how I feel as it flows from your sweet lips
Peaking – it vibrates
Touching every cell in my body
You are my atmosphere of love
Effervescent
Unselfish adoration
Lifting me from the dark to the light
Taking your time to know me
patching all the tears I’ve endured – with such patience..
My dreams you don’t take –
You create..
Something tells me you’re different than the rest
You are the very best
my heart yours till the end
So go ahead
Speak my name any way you like
I feel what I hear
The climax – loud and clear..

Leave Her Be

Published April 23, 2016 by lamarrwenrich

She is she
Let her be
Love her the way she comes..
Stop the torment of your words
Don’t you see her shackled by them
Shouldering the brunt of the vile you spew
Burying it all silently within..
Toying dangerously with her
Leave her mind alone
It’s connected to her soul which controls her heart
She’s falling apart
She isn’t a game to be played
She is strong yet breakable
Stop chipping away at her beauty
It’s rare – unique – one of a kind
And she will love you till she’s no more..
She knows no other way..
A love you will never forget
One you will crave and seek
But only to be found within her..
the damage you do to her doesn’t stop there
It is harming you too..
It will follow you all your days
your mind will play your evil ways
Over and over
Your ears will hear the silent cries of her heart and cringe
and try as you might
The sounds will never fade
The worst part about you
is you just can’t see all it reveals
And never will you heal
tearing down someone else..
She’s disappearing into your madness
She is she and was once free
unchain her
Please leave her be..

Elusive

Published April 22, 2016 by lamarrwenrich

Magnetic
is our connection
so complex – psychologically physically
my mind absorbing you until it’s only you
craving your touch until it’s all I feel
The closer we become,
The less i grasp
looking in the mirror,
I study that stranger looking back
The hands that touch my face I no longer recognize..
closing my eyes as I draw back my hair I feel you..
catching my breath as you slowly draw it from me
Your fingers entwined in my hair
Tugging tightly as you turn my face toward you
grazing my lips
my mouth hungry for you
my soul ablaze
taking pieces of me
until I no longer know where you begin and I end..
may I never be found
