alive in the fall…

Published March 22, 2020 by lamarrwenrich

in the quiet
I’m there…
when you’re not looking
unaware…
the lull of my voice
leads you there…
Loud in your heart
pushing and pulling
leaving no choice…
what will you do
who is it that rules…
Can’t part the sea
to reach the shore…
Undertow looming
till you’re no more…
The ground racing toward you
alive in the fall…
I’m hidden in the details
Greatest secret of all…

Symphony of you..

Published February 11, 2020 by lamarrwenrich

Tugging, pulling 

the music is cued..
Heart strings dangling  
waiting on you..
wound up tight 
Fill me with dread 
Or sheer delight..
It’s a choice 
your choice
which do you choose…
elaborate 
full spectrum 
You bring on the charm
Symphony in my head
sound the alarm..
it’s music 
our music 
we don’t skip a beat
Let’s waste moments together 
while we bruise in the heat..
blood vessels may rupture but what do we care 
a little discoloring 
we will not scare..
We’re classic 
complex 
symphonic at best..
our love is relentless 
when put to the test..

Only just begun..

moments are fleeting
my heart is bleeding 
feels incomplete..
was it enough
did I reach you 
teach you 
as I become a mime with time..
does your heart know what mine has sown 
from the moment you began..
words collapse on my tongue as I become undone 
in awe of the human you have become..
independent

confident
you wear it well..
breaking free 
while I hold so
tight
reigning you in with my might..
my heart overflows with stories untold..
beaming with pride 
I’ll let your hopes dance
not fearing the past that cannot last..

Scorched

searing 
burning
lighting my core 

you cut
twisting, turning 
leaving no spot..
the screaming in my soul it can’t be whole..
I want to soar 
touch the sky
feel the sun 
till I’m high..
in my eyes you’d see the
sunshine till it made you cry..
if your wanderlust settled 
you’d stay awhile..
A tale we could tell 
you’d know me well..

the rain came..

you chose to stay 
chasing the sun until my heart you won
clearing the melancholy 
sharing the joy..
the unknown looming 
my eyes watching 
pondering the beauty you bring to my heart..
In the losses 
the dark spaces 
you continued to give..
the rain came 
each drop washing away the old..
you didn’t run
turning us around 
we’ve begun…

Beauty mark..

you’ve taught me well
you’ve  loved me long 
showing me I do belong.. 
accept what is
the fight is done 
no escaping from the one..
it’s all within 
the storm inside
letting go I will not hide..
showing me scars I never knew 
you trace them all through and through..
cherishing the bruises 
Loving me deeply 
your beauty mark stamps them 
it completes me..

So can love…

You cover my soul in the whisper of your words..

inspire and delight me 
filling me whole..

Tender, captivating
connected throughout,
Waxing eloquently about my heart 
If pain can echo
So can love
a bit of madness from above.. 
No mystery in the quiet  
no fear in the unknown..
a challenge to my mind
a miracle to my heart..
i am but clay 
pliable and willing from the start..
beautiful creation 
as your words shape me 
your love turns me
molding my way..

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..
