air beneath my feet…

Published April 27, 2020 by lamarrwenrich

flying
or stuck
this gilded cage of mine..
breathing or suffocating
the walls are closing in..
lost myself along the way
do I have to stay..
everything I ever knew
came from you..
I feel the air beneath my feet
rattling my bones
breaking it down
building it up
I see the door
the way out..
listen to my shout
flutter your wings
let’s change the scene..

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..

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…

Canvas me..

Published March 12, 2020 by lamarrwenrich

unbleached cloth
your love seeping through me…shaping my heart until it’s tightly woven…a canvas to you – Paint me what you will…my colors vibrant by your gentle touch – happy to mix it up…changing shades in your storm – set sail with me – in the sea of love we have formed…

    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..

      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..

      Liquid sunshine…

      burning through my bones
      whiskey to my soul 
      we come to life with the love we’ve sown 
      the only home I’ll ever know..
      dancing in the breeze 
      free as the leaves 
      floating through air..
      Love is what it does 
      We are what we do 
      So simple I dare..
      I drink you in
      you are my skin..

      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..

      This is love..

      Bruised knees to bruised hearts 
      every moment – a new start..
      you give
      you take 
      we grow through heartache..
      searching 
      wandering 
      leading me through 
      Beautiful ghosts I always knew 
      you give and I live..
      Memories within 
      never grow old..
      invaluable, priceless
      we slowly unfold..
      I’ll dance with the shadows of all that we know 
      you color my heart vibrant 
      our story untold..

      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…
