Drifting away..

Published October 17, 2019 by lamarrwenrich
words now elude me
It’s just not the same..
I scream out your name 
to the silence reverberating the emptiness of pain..
my mind lost in time 
searching for the place that was once mine..
i took your hands 
we joined life 
together we faced all its’ strife..
I feel you here 

yet you’re no where near.. 
I quietly watch as you subside 
You are the one my heart can’t hide..
rare 
Beautiful 
Uniquely you 
A recipe of our own 
we honed to share..
You heighten my senses 
awaken my core 
my soul is fighting strong to belong once more..
with each breath you breathe 
I grieve..
for I know what I know 
as you slowly drift away.. 
The kindest love is letting you go..
will I stand 
Will I sink 
as I slip to the brink 
when your fingers loosen mine for the very last time..

the map of you..

we’ve lived 

we’ve loved 
you fill my soul 
I mapped out the route of loving you whole..
it’s endless & growing 
as life moves you about
in its’ all knowing 
it shows all your sides 
even the inaccessible parts you try to hide..
there’s beauty within 
the hidden treasures of your heart..
a collection of all that’s been and to be 

has taken us places pinned for you and me..
our worlds always turning 
shifting us so
melding your pieces into mine as we go..
one step at a time 
let’s walk toward the spaces where adventure awaits us..

inevitable..

arms flail open 
life spins you round 
staying up as you hit
the ground 
I feel you crumble in my outstretched arms 
the tears you hide 
my heart soaks up inside..
not by accident 
nor design
we were granted time..   
let’s live
let’s give
somethings lost somethings gained 
one thing is certain
we won’t stay the same..  
there’s more than this –
more than the worst thing it has done –
love may have lost
it comes at a cost.. 
you will live on within 
immortal in me 
I’ll be your voice and 
live out the choice you fought to have.. 
I love your smile 
wish you’d stay awhile..
bold in your walk
a sight to behold 
There is beauty in the inevitable
or so I’ve been told.. 

rains in her heart..

Published September 9, 2019 by lamarrwenrich

silenced heart

no where to start..

lips tremble with fear

closing them tight

she’s filled with fright..

If she lets her tongue loose

will she hang by the noose..

what is right

what is wrong

where do you belong..

why so afraid..

sway with the moments

bend with the flow..

today is yesterday forgotten

let it go..

Lost in tomorrow’s unknown

it rains in her heart

Washed away by the tides of history

let’s restart..

Trace the moments

as your mind rewinds

let it find you back to mine..

Onto the stage..

Published July 23, 2019 by lamarrwenrich

no moments wasted..

yesterday’s are disappearing..

Dreaming the dreams

scheming my things

bringing them to life

before I lose sight of any landmark to my heart that leads me there..

The devil is in the details they say

play it out anyway

Quiet souls, feisty goals

we broke all rules..

history shared

with so much care

Your essence radiates through the tear..

If It wasn’t a dream before the break

my heart is now

fully awake..

walking onto the evolving stage with fright, delight and anticipation

the unknown grabs my soul and I am whole..

feet tracing the lines that will wind me there

here I come

without a care..

Perfected chaos

The silent moments when the unknown roars

unbearable is the pain

certain nothings gained..

silently walk with me

enter the night

let’s quiet the storm

embrace the space between us that keeps me warm..

It’s hard to find the sun

in all that’s begun

Chaos and perfection

gnaw at my charred soul

slow it down and face it

let it make me whole..

There is always beauty in the ugly truth

‘wherever you go

there you are’

More than the sum of all you see..

The soundlessness has banished the critics that harness my soul..

scars will bleed

the disease of me will no longer be..

the fears are silenced into the atmosphere..

Erased…

Published May 24, 2019 by lamarrwenrich

words flooded my senses

heart slamming the fences

you left in your wake..

Asthmatic reaction – allergic to the lies i sanctioned..

I’m a walking book

wrinkled heart bleeding out

pierced by your hook..

my heart expressed through each phrase you possess..

my pain has been published through all that you gain

every word, every sentence and paragraph remain..

dreams like thunder

Lightning was desire

charred us up

it’s no wonder..

Slowly erasing all that is you

letter by letter

this paper heart gets better..

false memories so dear

as you disappear..

Take flight..

Published May 16, 2019 by lamarrwenrich

wings like stone

jagged to the bone

Cuts so deep

how long will you steep..

Something’s amiss within your soul

What will it take to make you whole..

Pieces of my heart stir with your words

slicing and dicing until they’re not heard..

An image that has left a permanent mark on my heart..

You press me hard

You press me soft

It comes out the same

Calling your name..

Slowly unfold me

Discover you don’t know me

Clip those wings

Set them free

feel the melody they choose to sing..

It will always be me

It will always be you..

Let’s wing our way through it

Glide your way home how it should be..

Take flight with me..

shame storm quieted..

Love me till the lights go out

Love me till my shouts aren’t doubt

let the love go quiet as I rise above

in the darkest hour you shine bright

your shadow overpowering me

Pure delight..

I can walk upright – shamed no more

cobwebs have withered into dust

my sight has been cleansed

I will do what I must

I’m not something wrong..

I belong

Give way…

Lamenting

mourning

hurting inside..

burying you deep

as if it’s something to hide..

Grieving is love that’s exploded inside..

fragments remain

keeping you sane

Just enough to shoulder the blame..

Shadow boxing here

Shadow boxing there

It’s worn you down

leveling you to the ground..

Stop fighting yourself

don’t do it alone

step into new space as you roam..

What is dead may never die

let it tear through the shadows of your sky..

May it thunder through to the silence of your heart..

hear the sounds of freedom as darkness gives way to light..

let the mourning change with the morning bright..

your mind will rewind

to promises of old

reliving stories you’ve been told

as it fills your soul

it will make you whole..
