blown – glass heart…

Published March 10, 2021 by lamarrwenrich 





if my heart could speak 

your knees would cave weak..
immeasurable beauty 
as far as the eye sees..
broken pieces blown out 
shaped  and renewed 
mapping out my heart 
it all leads to you..
in ways unknown 

love pours into me 
Washing me free 
I can be 
You can be 
a creation that all can see..
Untouchable, unreal 
feeling the beauty 
of our blown glass hearts
love marks & scars 
Unique to us..
Absence of light
a necessary dark 
Giving way to 
the beat of my heart..

A beautiful sound 
a melodious tune 
dancing us free 
you’re all I see..

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..

Jagged edges..

we are the beauty we speak
unique, joyful
in the love we seek..
edges smoother
there is no defeat..
roaring through
scars & bruises alike
so much to gain
in life’s pain..
unevenly shaped
beautifully jagged
heart torn ragged
from the irregular
spectacular love
we shape..

dear me..

happy to be here
happy to see
i’m swept up in moments
dear to me..
always changing
always knowing
blessed in life
when I am growing..
reflecting
enjoying
taking it in..
pining for more
moments I adore..
jump for love
soar with its’ highs
grow through the lows..
breathing in deeply
the sorrows and woes..
exhaling it out
as the beauty unfolds
the gifts of love
my heart holds..

    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..

    Tracing lines of my soul…

    Tracing lines of my soul

    found my breath while I was drowning..
    Slow fire burning
    Oh how Im yearning..
    Heartbeats yours
    loud, fierce
    gentle, strong..
    determined to live out what’s mine
    a wrinkle of time is all
    that’s begun..
    warmth stirs my soul
    lingering on
    like the beauty of the sun and the stories it holds..

    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…

    Rooted..

    solid strong our house won’t fall… bones are good changing with time like petrified wood… banged around chips hit the ground… melodic pain it’s worth the gain… we scatter but won’t shatter into pieces we don’t know… we built us well… time will tell

      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..
