speak to me..

Published September 16, 2020 by lamarrwenrich

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..

    Indelible

    the ink has dried
    pages worn
    edges weathered
    so forlorn..
    Wrapped your love around me like a chain
    couldn’t withstand the hurricane..
    Words indelible
    quieting my heart..
    unspoken things
    between the lines
    staining my soul..
    with each moment they fade
    making me whole..
    closing the book
    we are no more
    between the beats of my heart
    forever more..

    Ghosting..

    Ghosting…

    moving, breathing
    raw inside
    There are no words for things I hide
    wondering, pondering
    where did i go…
    was it real
    am I here
    Is it all fear…
    Invisible, gone
    ghosting is strong
    fighting through hard
    it’s all wrong…
    heart of steel
    be gone..

    Quarantined love…

    one way ticket
    enjoy the ride…
    will we survive
    as we walk this in stride..
    is it my heaven or
    hell that’s arrived…
    what you imagine is what you will see…
    it can be easy
    free as the breeze
    or lock you down cold
    struck with disease…
    hope is a dream
    not always what it seems…
    Detours here
    Detours there
    Sometimes happy
    sometimes they scare…
    seven years passed
    like water under the bridge…
    for a brief moment in time
    our lives paused
    giving us cause to love without laws..

    tiniest second…

    Published April 3, 2020 by lamarrwenrich

    you filter through the pane…
    sheltering in deeper and deeper
    all of it in vain
    no glass thick enough to keep away the pain…
    hand reaches out
    fingers tracing yours…
    For the tiniest second you have everything to gain…
    searching deep within
    you no longer know your name…
    each tear rolling down
    sweeps you to the ground…
    breaking the glass
    I’ll clean up the shard… time will stand still
    until the parts of your divided heart heal…

    alive in the fall…

    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..
