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..



sensations..

a hungry ache..
the persistence
drawing compassion from my bones
to own all its’ wakened..
determination willing it to be..
there is nothing more to our story than the story itself..
we are who we are
the moments non-defining
in an overwhelming
non-binding kind of way..
Healing - revealing truths
small -ordinary -insignificant
making impossible fall away..
there’s pages to be written
stapling pieces back together
I’ll sit in the dirt with you
draw lines in the sand
let’s dirty our hands with life..
wash clean your heart
giving new color to all your strife
yearning longing for this new start..

Scenic heart..

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…

heart of phoenix

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..

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..


Unveiled..

Published November 7, 2022 by lamarrwenrich


intriguing
enthralling
captivates my mind
gripping
absorbed
lost within that time
shrouded within the walls
that have become my shrine..
there is no rhyme or rhythm
to this life no longer mine..
the veil flows so freely
inviting in its’ beauty
as he weaves himself around me
bringing me up
holding me down
disguising its’ true purpose of keeping me bound..
unveil the mystery
beguiling as it may be
being lost to yourself
is not the same as being set free..

author of my story

endless possibilities
swirling through my head
words are storming
shaping and forming
new beginnings..
choosing
picking
which words are sticking..
chapter after chapter
I am renewed
not afraid
feeling brave
Turn the page
feel the rage
slip slip slipping away..
loving words are here to stay
what a story in all its’ glory
Binding
holding meant to last
never a victim of ones’ past..


Tantalizing

unobtainable..
undeniable..
tailspinning into the abyss of you..
haven’t a clue if it’s dark or if it’s light
unwilling to give up the fight
wreaking havoc
senses filled with delight..
mind on alert
visions I see of sweet dessert..
beauty to my heart
wherever you go
whatever you do
I’m lit by you..
covering it well
burning within
our flame spreads like wildfire
out of control
on and on we go
ignited explosive
our love is alive
there is no quenching this manic drive..

Crashing cymbals..

Published October 14, 2022 by lamarrwenrich


hearts suspended as they crash
ringing soft
Singing loud
holding truths
without a doubt..
turns and twists as the moments tick
bending to the mold that sticks..
we play life in pairs
Our hearts in the others’ hand
Striking together
Together we stand..
sweet innocence of a friendship that’s grown
through the many aches
and the many groans
a masterpiece created in its’ place
the music we make
left in its’ wake..
one of a kind
wish to rewind
a poignant reminder that time slips away
no matter that we will it to stay..





Catfished..

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..
