Scorched

Published January 30, 2020 by lamarrwenrich
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..

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

Published June 2, 2019 by lamarrwenrich

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..
