like heroin..

the walls kept moving
in so tight 
my feet kicking and shoving 
looking for light 
till I was wrung out 
strung out 
nowhere to go..
the bright dimmed
realizing there was no win
I gave in..
my time got small 
haunted by the past 
searching for things that couldn’t last..
letting go to the innocence i once knew 
I dare my soul not to break 
compulsive and chronic 
I’ll attach it to hope..
desires and daydreams 
pull me upstream 
taking me to that place between sleep and awake..
mind is lit up 
addictions renewed 
love is my anchor 
I’ll no longer hate..



I choose…

you’re here
you’re there..
In the walls i feel you
In the books I hear you 
In the space that times forgetting..
spilling over and covering  me whole..
that face hidden
untouchable 
boxed away for another day 
while I search for ways to run..
your love 
absorbs my mind 
dwells in my heart.. 
maybe one day
I’ll come down from it 
for now I choose to stay..

My cup…

Published May 19, 2021 by lamarrwenrich 



it runneth over 
trickling down 
sweet nectar is found
releasing its’ crown 
cleansing & healing 
creating new sound..
truth from noise 
the bitter from sweet 
lighting the dark
grounding my feet..
it’s sorrow 
It’s joy
eternally linked 
like day & night 
both equally sweet..
every last drop of me 
bows at your feet 
It’s beauty 
It’s wonder 
my cup runneth over
there is no defeat..


between the moments…

between the moments of living and dying 
there are moments divine 
We are many kinds of beautiful.. 
watching the sun set one last time 
the beauty in the darkness
the hope in the empty
And the warmth in the coldness of goodbyes..
There is a morning after 
We won’t have to search anymore..
fascinated how we can become undone 
yet remain as one..

Blossoming..

Blossoming...




Love me 
just the way i am..
sunshine and tears 
quite the mess 
but not less than you hoped
or more than you dare..


I’ll quiet your fears 
irrational tears 
giving way to the atmosphere..
taking pieces that remain 
ghost or not 
we remain the same..


accepting our alien parts 
of the hearts
abundant, flourishing 
in ways to foretell..
we’ll learn love anew 
gradually growing 
the most beautiful bloom..

Fiery whispers..

you speak without sound..
above the threshold of hearing
drawing me near
each beat searing..
scorching my heart
singeing the skin
sparking life all within..
leaning in I’m quieted
by the silence of
intimacy..
flames burning bright
intense with delight..
tyrannical heart set free
choosing to believe
the need is strong
I found my belong..

infinite you..

my fix
my dose
helping me bleed
it’s all out there
filling my needs..
exceeding my limit
opened raw..
feeling extreme
busting seams..
I know you by heart
the beat propels me to
a new start..
heart stained with your love
you are all my good
from above..
everything I do
bleeds bits and pieces of you..
so loved
so much to give
radiant light
reflected in my sight
won’t close my eyes
wishing to live..
You are the beat that syncs my heart..
measured out slowly
with each dose
you’ll know me..

speak to me..

words alive
thriving within
springing fresh life
where we’ll begin..
becoming your poetry
undressing me slow
Layer by layer
as we go…
revealing the depths
of things unknown..
a wanton need
for you to read
all that I am..
exposing a spirit that can’t be tamed
a love that won’t be named..
hang in my wait time
as we discover anew
the many things we never knew..
mysterious and painful
it may be..
let’s delight
in watching us grow
it is food for our souls that will be whole..

    what if..

    if I leave the light on
    will my shadow come to life..
    will you know I’m real
    will you feel all my feels..
    if I stay still
    will I fade into the night
    no light bright enough to save me..
    will my secrets be revealed
    showing nothing to conceal..
    what if I leave the lights on
    Will the dark ever end
    can the night sky touch my soul
    making me whole..
    what if..

    Light my fire…

    our love is the blue hour
    quietly hidden
    between day and night..
    sparking colors that didn’t exist
    lighting up moments I can’t resist
    letting go of you
    would be to forfeit life..
    heart is wide open
    breathing in your every word..
    growing – shifting -bending- flowing
    love is there
    always ending
    with new beginnings..
