heaven & hell..

Published April 30, 2024 by lamarrwenrich 



embroidered throughout me
stitches of you
sewn directly onto my heart..
heaven and hell
I know it well..
distant- present 
friend or foe 
how to know..
miles weaving us apart 
fabric wearing thin…
your presence lingered from the start 
catching my breath 
time and time again..
running out of ways to miss you 
absorbing the empty space..
like a lover it washes over me
sometimes healing
sometimes killing 
from the inside out.. 
quite the privilege to grieve 
such love that received me fully 
leaving patterns of us splayed out cruelly 
ripping me 
shredding me ever so fine..
Slowly 
stitching us back together 
displaying moments of a place and time that made you mine..

invisible wounds 
Scars that dig in deep 
I carry them within 
a battle that never ends..
hopeful yet struggling 
Hold me tight 
I won’t give in to the fright..
immersed in the beauty
that keeps
giving 
reaching out 
calling me 
Drawing me 
To a new light 
an atmosphere so bright 
I’m no longer buried alive..

footnote..

pictures scattered about 
tattered edges worn out..
days of old 
depicting moments filled with hope..
memories golden 
hearts of steel 
sweet dreams 
somehow torn apart at the seams..
sweet and heady 
made me feel unsteady
It’s okay you know
to rid your mind of all of me..
but keep the photos 
it’s all that’s left 
One day
time will be fine
it won’t claw at your heart..
I’ll never be gone 
the footnote of us lives on..
surrender to new starts 
let the clouds part..

black and blue 
bruised by you 
pounded by intense love..
look how we’ve grown 
a parade of shades 
coloring me up 
in brightest of hues
I never knew..
wearing you is something so true 
the link to my golden chain 
worth all the rain
every step 
every turn 
every lesson learned 
We are worth it all..
laying it down 
we turned it around 
closing up walls that bound us
to the halls of moments past..

paint you anew..

take some chances 
let me paint you free 
writing my name
deep in your pain..
every little worry brushed away 
filled with moments here to stay..
I’ll paint you anew 
in ways you never knew..
chiseled and etched 
deep in your mind 
I’ll have you walking lost in time..
take some steps with me
let’s unwind.. 
the dirt is set deep 
let’s break that mold 
bring your bare feet
dirty them up again 
creating designs
that are yours and mine..

veil is lifted..

freeing
hopeful 
a willing human being.. 
open 
molding to new unspoken dreams
goals unfold 
as we behold 
new heights to be reached..
shed your skin 
begin again 
it’s quite the place to sit in..
eyes have closed doors 
shifting the mind 
leaving dashed moments behind
buried on the floor..
memories restored 
veil is lifted 
untouched gifts galore
pick them up 
and want no more..
CHEERS 2024!

Glass parade

Published December 29, 2023 by lamarrwenrich 



moments that beg for a bend in the road 
causing disruptions 
stories of old..
the living fabric of us woven into the core of time 
indefinite existence 
seen through the glass parade..
words stuck in my throat 
the world will never know 
conversations that would ripen your heart 
begging to be told.. 
think I’m going home 
getting lost for awhile
because I still believe 
just a voice inside my head..

boundless

feeling free 
boundless feet
Soaking up the good 
within the earth’s folds..
Sun is shining its’ warmth 
inviting all to bask in its’ glow
don’t know the endless possibilities this day holds..
the days may number me 
with the moments that unfold 
challenges that abound 
won’t turn me around..
I see my worth 
I know my goals..

Love
it’s equal to the pain 
most treasured hurt 
so much to gain..
who could know
how much I’d change 
the moment you said hello..
As I fade away 
the picture is clear -
naked and afraid 
I’m coming home..
Its’ warmth and 
love stained walls
welcome me in
Tasting the sweetness 
more alive than I’ve ever been
standing tall I begin..
