I dare you..

Published May 24, 2023 by lamarrwenrich



you’re back..
well i never left
look at me now
can you tell?
I wear the scars of your absence
each wound tells a story
of the horror a heart can bear..
you colored me up
dirtying my soul
look at me now
can you tell?
it washed me whole
growing new roots
I’m standing tall
sway me - bend me
you won’t break me..
there’s a shifting in my bones
the rot that became our home
has been burnt to the ground..
I dare you to walk in love
I challenge you to rise above
can you hear it?
love clangs inside me
like a ringing bell..
I’m not gone
intertwine that hand into mine
together we’ll cross the barren
for the green land..



Scenic heart..

Published April 11, 2023 by lamarrwenrich



landscape of my dreams
perfect in all it seems..
flourishing, watered, growing green
uninhibited wild and free..
drinking in the reality of who you are
no pretenses - no one cares
soak me up breathe my air..
illusions are exposed
thorny bushes overthrown
our story grows bright in this light
scenery overflowing
moment after moment of pure delight..
enticing, magnetic
holding on tight
let’s live the impossible possibilities
without fright..
when life gets tangled and weeds choke the seeds
don’t give in to the insidious disease..
follow the river till it washes over it
trail-blazing new ways
reviving ones’ heart
there within that trail
is our escape for a new start…

looking out
what remains
feeling like it’s all in vain..
misty, unclear covered in haze
my fingers tracing blindly
as my glazed eyes strain
looking searching
fixing my gaze..
out beyond the glare
are dreams i want to share
do I dare stand up
opening myself bare..
hoping, wishing, believing
someone will be there..
can’t sit still any longer
as the tears roll down my face
I’ll embrace this new space
allowing the moments to absorb
my fears..
barriers must fall
giving way to a new day
I’m yielding, willing to give it my all..
Only then I can belong to me
Completely free
Glass breaking
I am waking..

grounded..

let me land you
ground you
standing you tall..
the rain can’t drown you
the fire won’t burn you
stop running from it all
rid yourself of skin that holds you in
shedding yourself free
descend slowly into this love that envelops you
least we cease to be..
hear my heart sing
the words that bring you back
tears that fall away
I’ll catch them all..
touching down
you’ll feel the sounds of a heart
grounded and true..

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..

Tilted..

Published December 14, 2022 by lamarrwenrich



slipping, sliding
into the mess it’s become..
mental, emotional
confusion at best
a crime to my being
you know the rest
lunging at your core
it’s mine to score..
giving up rights
to keep you in sight..
eyesight is failing
can’t see straight anymore
a heart is left wailing..
who could have guessed
love clutches hate
leaving the loudest quiet in
its’ wake..
Tilted
sloping
heart left groping..

My tomb..

Published October 10, 2022 by lamarrwenrich


mixed in the madness
made a perfect mess
Odorless
Tasteless
who could have guessed..
blinded happily I couldn’t taste death..
following your footsteps
thought I passed the test..
the sun was shining brightly
calling me through and through
yet the dark cold was coming
somehow I never knew..
falling deeper and deeper
despair has had its’ way
I do not fear the reaper
I know he’s here to stay..
it’s life that cuts like a knife
With all its’ strife..
I’ll see again
feel again
reveling as I’m whole
death does not separate
united is my goal..

brilliant
cultured
One of a kind
swooped in quietly stealing my mind
An endless love was taking root
with every beat of my heart..
prostituting all I knew
with the allure of something that wasn’t true..
You startled my heart
divided me wide
Seduction
betrayal is all you knew
a madness deep within you rules..





Ripples of love..

Published September 2, 2022 by lamarrwenrich



flowing gently slowly
ripples created just for us
intimately connected to our surroundings..

beautiful as the dawn
You have drawn
a masterpiece within my heart
engaging all that I am
teach me your love..

light up the shore
overwhelm me with delight
take me to the edge
so I can fall apart
within your heart..

Parallel lines..

Published May 30, 2022 by lamarrwenrich


blurring the lines
sweeter than wine
love & friendship
laughing crying..
we’re a beautiful rhyme
going up
slamming down
good bad
happy sad
until we become one..
our hearts beating out loud
bleeding for you & I
Undone
Overcome
affection weaving itself into every fiber of our being..
tangled knots of love we hold tight
walk into my eyes
for a love we’ve never known right…
entangled
engrossed
crossing space & time..
an ocean in my body
a river in my soul
not a quiet idea
let it make me whole..
