funny tricks of time..

Published January 5, 2026 by lamarrwenrich 
slips through the fingers 
catching us off guard 
till we are lamenting
grasping at straws..
the moments evaporating
as it slaps us in the face.. 
slow down time 
pull me out of this race..
would it matter 
make a difference in my actions 
would I notice while 
walking through it..
or is it only obvious when we are on the other side of time
living moments like they aren't mine..
rushing through them so quickly 
losing sight of all that's real 
instead of soaking up the all feels 
until we realize trickery just steals.. 
left to face what we lost in space 
wishing
hoping
this existence
shows us a little grace..

tethered..

Published October 25, 2025 by lamarrwenrich 
wrapping me
round and round 
matters not 
which way is up or down 
lost my bearings 
as I slowly hit the ground ..
the depth of you has no ending 
giving new meaning to a beginning.. 
in the silence I've found a beautiful sound
wounds no longer hardening my soul..
each moment fulfilling a purpose 
absorbing it
learning from it 
shaping me whole..
this calcified heart beating a new rhythm with the touch of yours 
tethered forever 
connecting us deep..
weaved through and through 
the depth of you residing within 
making me new..

back on my feet..

hearts connecting in the quiet
space can’t erase what one knows.. 
feelings pounding
against the chest 
Slamming..
can you feel it 
can you hear it
after all this time..
Or are you trapped in your mind
moments keeping you stuck..
I’ll take reason over choice 
mistakes crumbling 
losing their power
in the bewitching hour.. 
no promises to keep 
wisdom keeping me on my feet..

reflective 
quiet 
peaceful 
somber..
moods within your words..
you sit in a smile 
drawing me in from miles
you light me up 
losing my way into you
my dreams sleep now
As I weep in your hands..
a slow drip into my soul 
a gentleness takes over 
most beautiful love
with power under control..

Absorbed..

invisible wounds 
Scars that dig in deep 
I carry them within 
a battle that never ends..
hopeful yet struggling 
Hold me tight 
I won’t give in to the fright..
immersed in the beauty
that keeps
giving 
reaching out 
calling me 
Drawing me 
To a new light 
an atmosphere so bright 
I’m no longer buried alive..

Timeless..

Published February 5, 2024 by lamarrwenrich

there was no start

I see no end

wrapped in time

yours and mine..

do I go

trusting the unknown

do I stay

showing you the way..

frayed edges

parched souls

ruling us no more..

thoughts and hearts attentive

like never before

setting us free to roam

into the heart of our home..

no other way

you are my known..

take it back..

step into a world
they say 
where you can be what you’re not.. 
the hype of the dreams 
not what it seems..
they sold you
to the lies they told you 
words rolling easily off the tongue 
fingers outstretched 
so it’s begun..
what is the fun
in being who you aren’t  
rivalries will own you 
it’s all for naught.. 
the chasm is real 
the fall never ends 
no one to rescue you
from all of your ills
It’s wearing exhausting 
where are the thrills..
step back in time
take back your mind 
to a world 
where the silver lining is as it’s told 
no one can stop you from
living life bold..

Let it roar

Published January 4, 2024 by lamarrwenrich 




scorched so many times 
by flames that called our names
hard to see beyond life’s moments
so called games..
misshapen, mistaken
nothing remains the same..
willing to be interrupted 
restless souls cry out in vain
searching hoping believing 
in darkness that brings rain..
moody
romantic 
silence
Is loud in the room
quiet walls sing of love 
dispelling any gloom..
let the fire roar 
no longer keeping score 
walking through it fearlessly 
helpless never more..
