my imagination alive and well,
lingers on past the moments that fill my soul..
Tinkering about this quiet home and stepping around the sweet bodies sprawled about,
my thoughts race as I see the future before me and I hope, I wish, I pray for grace upon these innocents..
my humans..
such a gift; a purpose to love another soul in the most miraculous of ways
studying them in their slumber.. to watch the heart beat and know a beautiful life is within..
The dance of life can be loud, quiet, happy, sad, full and empty
But it's a beat worth moving to..
swaying to the rhythm
Keep shouting through life – your ears will love the sound of fighting for love
and your heart will live for it..
The curiosity of it all feeds my soul..

Not Today..
Published July 2, 2017 by lamarrwenrichEverything is spinning
all meshed together
Good slipping away,
bad gaining power,
happy & sad
all bleeding as one
Threatening to bury us in its’ mess
we are fading in&out..
Who will break the fall
for we will not shatter..
Though like broken sticks and broken stones turn to dust, so will our bones
we are still standing
not blowing in the wind yet
Not today..
Hold me tight
we will walk & fall united
Together as one
You’re my hero
I’m your weakness
We are the best of it all
Made from love
Here’s to you & me
and our hearts’ content…
Drifting
Published June 11, 2017 by lamarrwenrichthe tighter I hold
The looser the grip..
slowly slipping away
Words sound the same
scenery looks the same
Smiling familiar faces
running circles in the same places
but the ground is shifting
Drifting.. can’t be stopped..
Airwaves are deadly
currents sucking me in slowly
until I’m giving into the pressure..
Being carried away involuntarily
thrown about aimlessly..
TrailBlazing..
Published June 4, 2017 by lamarrwenrichwe lit up the paths behind us,
burning so bright with each venture we’d race to..
each new door we’d dare to jump through
Unafraid where we’d land.. knowing we were hand in hand
embracing the unknown
Fearless in our quest for life..
it now blankets our insides, suffocating our outsides
the darkness of fear eclipsing the light that shined so bright
the silence so eerie, it is all we hear..
Let’s start a fire
Burning up the apparitions that have become us, burying the ghosts we hide in
watching till fear is no more
Awake with me
Let’s ignite the trails till they roar..
The Ties That Bind..
Published May 16, 2017 by lamarrwenrichA connection, a bond
The smallest of ties..
A story behind every story
A reason, a why
for the smile
for the pain
An overlapping of the unknown
A string that draws us in
making all of us a part of the other
Our ups, our downs
our triumphs, our losses..
so simple, so complex
so wonderful, so not
with everything in between..
Let the strings that connect our thoughts & our hearts
create a link so strong that our differences will fade
And love will be the reason and the why
of a you and an I..
Puzzle Pieces
Published May 14, 2017 by lamarrwenrich
Somewhere in my brokenness I’m whole
The brand new me wears a new coat of paint
Splashes of color filling the empty spaces
happy to never being the same
New shades of peace cover me and the rain will not wash it away
uncertainty is nothing to fear..
Nothing to explain as I step out onto this new plane waiting for the lines to join..
The many puzzle pieces that have become me
I’m intrigued
stepping strong i move on
courageous in the unknown
I can do this on my own
I see the shadow of your smile
Mesmerized..it lights my way and I like where it leads..

Silent War..
Published April 21, 2017 by lamarrwenrich
You, her, me,
them, they, us..
scrutinizing each other until the words decimate the soul..
lies become truth
Wrongs become right..
The silent war is on
It’s lethal
Fatalities high
Jealousy causing a disease within us..
rotting to the core until we are no more
Critiquing never ends
So much hurt
desensitization real..
Intense pretty blue eyes
shading the hate
Brown eyes dull with pain
green eyes no longer sparkle
ridicule has had its’ way far too long
shredding her along the way, tearing you down
Until we are a wisp of a shadow of who they once were..
though the smile is present, her laugh out loud,
she has decayed inside
The smell unbearable
The pain crushing
until she can fight no more..
No one wins
as we all disappear within the mirror of fear we’ve learned to hate..

Unique
Published April 18, 2017 by lamarrwenrich
Distinct
Exceptional
Courageous in your uniqueness
You make me better
No pretense
Loving freely, honestly, completely
You’ve awoken a gentle rage within
It moves me
Wonder if you’ll ever understand
All I need is your hand
There is no bondage
No chains, no rules
Hope can be a weapon
Go ahead ‘n’ pull the trigger
It’s worth the fall
For I haven broken free

Whirlwind..
Published April 10, 2017 by lamarrwenrich
all your emotions whirling about
I taste the sweetness of your love in the air
surrounding me with every breath I take
My Heart pounding to the intake of you
until I surrender
Unrelenting..
A blessing or a curse to care so..
Your gaze – seeing through to my soul
It’s beautiful
A love that fills me to my core
making me complete
I’ll bear your wind and live in the whirlwind that follows..

The many sides of her..
Published April 5, 2017 by lamarrwenrich
The haze is lifting
The picture more clear
Show yourself
Where do you hide..
She hears the silent tears
She feels them too
Trying to follow the ache of sadness.. it’s no where to be found
The image appears
every where she looks..
big brown eyes
full of despair & weariness
looking back
The heaviness sinks in when she finally stops avoiding the shadow
It’s her
She’s been running all her days
the road has been long but
the end is near – the dark is lightening
and she takes deep breaths
realizing memories don’t define her
That first step
so tentative, so shaky
as new life is coming into view..
Who is she
she’s not sure
But She smiles at what She sees
The mirror has shattered
Glass splintered everywhere..
and she sees how wonderful the many sides of her can be..
