heart of phoenix

Published February 12, 2023 by lamarrwenrich



your love
teaches me much i never knew
as I ingest you
not with my mouth but with my heart
intimacy grants us a new start..
I make sense
through the lens of your heart
In my soul you have a face
a name
there is no shame..
we keep colliding
sliding away
will we learn
will we reconcile..
whisper to my pleasures
speak to my heart
covering my pain
I linger in the love of you
there is much to gain..
etched in my mind
is the wonder of you
the sum of my memories
making us new..

Tender and tattered..

indelibly marked
bruised through to the bones
let it scar you beautifully
helping you grow
teaching and changing
you aren’t alone..
wash away darkness
marking you new..
let my fingers paint a picture
let me run them over you
making ugly beautiful
in ways we could know..
let’s fall into the sun
shine brighter than ever before
letting the warmth soothe the tattered parts of your soul
as you lay your heart upon
promises that can make you whole..


waking you

Published January 26, 2023 by lamarrwenrich



anger ignites
flaming ugly to life
bringing with it strife..
snuff it out
burn it whole
there’s more to life than this madness
change up your goals..
dawning of new possibilities
imaginations taking you to novel places
new words begin to fill the spaces
rich and clear and true..
take hold of my hand
make a stand
let those dreams keep waking you
shaking you to new realms..
walk through the doors of my mind..
unwind into the love that can so easily bind
burying the white noise that owns your mind
never lose the meaning of all that is gleaming from within..




Deaths’ sting..

Published January 11, 2023 by lamarrwenrich


so painful it’s dangerous
the wound is poison
absorbing my heart..
lingering on
black clouds shadowing me
Insidious hands boxing me in
falling apart
broken
truths that shatter my heart..
bruised skin
battered mind
you won’t win
standing at the edge of the abyss
it’s you I miss..
Bittersweet
I feel you
I hear you
I taste you..
starting to live again
there you are
in the middle of the day
in the middle of the night
letting me know it’ll be alright..
no more sorrow
no regrets
letting go
death has lost its’ sting
my heart will sing..

loving hard..

Published January 8, 2023 by lamarrwenrich



making these moments last
no past to break the mood
no future to steal it away..
slowly giving in
gently learning to breathe again
raining down on me
washed anew..
you came along
like a song
singing a tune
that woke me from slumber..
though you were gone
by the end of the song
my heart was sparked
wrapping around the melodic words that linger on..
traces of you cover my heart
sending me to new places
no longer afraid to love hard..

Reflections..

Published January 4, 2023 by lamarrwenrich


searching
yearning
heart brimming
empty
full
Is there a rule..
knowing so much
revealing so little..
baffled
I see my reflection and beyond -
the hope
the loneliness
and the gift of love..
each carrying a life sentence of its’ own..
distinct
blinding
leading us on
time alluding us before we know it’s gone..
we get small unaware
the shadow of life covers us all
the tunnel will bury us
Or we can stand tall
the draw is the light
at the end of the night..


Artistry of you..

Published January 2, 2023 by lamarrwenrich


creatively unleashing my inner being
skillfully honing the moments you’re owning
the ability to create a tune in me that didn’t exist
you are my songbird..
a melody unique to my heartbeat
lost in our song
swaying to the unknown..
don’t say a word
our silence is golden
shaping my every thought
my mind is wrought with the possibilities loving you brings..
my heart singing effortlessly
Elaborately embellished by the beauty you bring..

love’s fickle thorn..

Published December 4, 2022 by lamarrwenrich


lover of my heart
magnet to my soul
what began on that
unsuspecting day takes a toll..
a simple hello was all that was told
pushing me to the depths of the unknown..
unaware without a care
to blissful to be afraid
And a life of its’ own ran away
from the home I’ve always known
creating a love story with no roots to grow..
lost a part of me that day
finding its’ way into your soul
leaving me floundering
with no where to go..
vulnerable
scared
my steps are growing me
double edged sword
my just reward..

edge of desire
let’s reach higher
don’t say a word
just lie here beside me..
syllables twist us
getting in the way
defining how we should be
what we should see..
doubting arises
hysteria crisis
questioning who we are..
mind and heart reaching out
closing up the gap of doubt
looking to feel what is real
see what is true..
clean the slate
it’s not to late
let’s speak a language all our own
find me I’m yours
just take me home..

Delectable

Published November 22, 2022 by lamarrwenrich



whetting my appetite
flavors unknown
piquing curiosities that are full grown..
assortment of colors
textures and feels
this array of flavors
to good to be real
creating sensations within my heart
setting my mind ablaze…
recipes of the unexpected
Unpredictable
Delectable delight..
filling my palate
slowly
deliberately
savoring the taste
awakening me to my senses
there will be no haste..
