Spring Spring, makes me sing
Sing song sun shining down my face
Face this place, this beautiful world
Worldly treasures lie naked in nature

Naturally over looked
Overseen
Underrated
Underappreciated

Spring Spring, what a glorious ring
Ring ding **** of the church bell song
Sing, sing for me my spr ing
The birdies of life
Hidden, not to be seen

Spring, Spring your ring!
Oh you beautiful thing,
Spring!

I am looking for a thought
I lost it when
I looked into those eyes
A brilliant blue
So deep I caught
Myself swimming
In that icy hue
Along with all every thought
I had swirling by me
Washed away by that view
And suddenly my mind was swimming
Swimming with the thought of you

I was swimming in your eyes
Swimming Swimming
All my thoughts
Swimming by

When you caught my stare
You did declare
Something I couldn’t quite catch
I reeled myself back to reality
But my thoughts were still swimming
Trying to catch up with me

My thought resurfaced
I found it at last
I was only coming over
To ask for your pencil, real fast?
I'm not sure which I liked better... I'm going to play with this idea of a thought lost and found... I think it's a fun idea that I can do a lot with.

My brother is a wolf pup
Strong and great if well bred
He knows not but the hand that feeds him
And walks to the hunter to be fed
He is new to the wild, but still the hunter smiles
And takes him to the table
To be eaten instead

What felt like rain was really earth's tears of sorrow
Kimberly Weber Jul 2014
Tan chapped bodies littered out across the beach
Sprawled across the sand, hot on their backs, the sun warm on their face
Soaking up the radiation to warm their water chilled bones
Crippled, painful walks, they hobble back to the chariots that bore them here
Careful padded movements to soothe their aching skin
Raw and sensitively hurt, they bear the rocky path home
And finally I am alone

The city before 6am.
Frozen. Abandoned. Empty.
If you are up early enough there's not a soul left for miles.
Just a creeping silence that's not even silent; but oddly alive with bird calls and wind whistles.
Oh the conversations you can have with the world before 6am.
The wind stirs it's way past every sleepy shop and household telling it's own haunting stories.
Plays with the trash and the flags on the street and they dance with a heart of their own.
I like this. Being witness to the waking of the world.
Slowly the dawn of grey shrinks back from the oncoming storm of colors; pinks and yellows and oranges gradually growing brighter by the second.
And the people begin to peak their heads out; stretch their little bodies and rev up their little minds and soon the streets overfill with busy beings.
Chatty as they are the bird's voices are trampled over with mundane screeches and screams; and the wind's already wheezing tune is diminished down to a mere annoyance.
Suddenly life fills the street in a different way.
The city before 6am.
Frozen. Abandoned. Empty.
At peace.
This is not poetry; I will not pretend it is a poem. But there is SOMETHING poetic about it; no?

Tell us tell us
Confide in us your tale
Us, we hungry ranvenous reporters
Who scavenge your lines for
Every private inch of you yet
Let us fester and spread in your gossip
Entrust to us your secrets
So we can discard them freely unto the world
The detail, the detail every last bit of it
Tell us tell us, feed our bottomless mouths
Lies and truth they are all the same
Feed us feed us!
Your rumors, we are to blame
And once we have it all
When we are filled, bloated
With your shame and your disgrace
We shuffle on for another victim
To pick at and argue over who gets the juiciest bits.
So trust in us, we harbingers of deceit.
Brings us your secrets
And we will feast

There are few things I truly love in this world

I love the mountain tops when the sun sets beneath them

I love the ocean when it crashes and cries on the shore

I love the trees in the forest when they are green and full of life

I love the air when it's pure and fragrant with springtime perfume

I love my dogs when they come racing by to be pet

I love my family when they get together for crazy afternoons

I love myself when I stand tall confident and beautiful

I love how you grasp my hand when we walk

I love how you kiss the tears off my face when I've broken down

I love how your arms wrap around me when I need your strength

I love how you make me feel whole when I am empty

I love you when you come into my life and bring me joy

I love all that you are when you're you

These are the things I love with all my heart

And that includes you
This is not a great poem. I apologize

Frightened,  timid, and cautious I may appear
But a coward is something I will never be
Unsure, hesitant, and thoughtful I may seem
But weak is something I will never be
Confident, proud, and unashamed I admit
But arrogant is something I will never be
Lies, cheats, and thefts I have done
But a sinner is something I will never be
Weakened, humiliated and kicked I have been
But disgraced is something I will never be
Unwilling, unjust, and mistaken I will say
But dishonorable is something I will never be
Cowardly, Weak, Arrogant, Sinful, Disgraced and Dishonored these are the things I will never be.
And These are the things you have always been
These are the things I will never be
She said, as she died slowly
These are the things I will never be

I am looking for a thought
I lost it when I looked into
Those brilliant blue eyes of yours
So deep
I found myself swimming
In their color along with
Every thought I had swirling by me
My mind was swimming with the thought of you
I was swimming in your eyes
Swimming Swimming
All my thoughts
Swimming by

When you caught my stare
You did declare
Something I couldn’t quite catch
I reeled myself back to reality
But my thoughts were still swimming
Trying to catch up with me

My thought resurfaced
I found it at last
I was only coming over
To ask for your pencil, real fast?
*Original* Redo (Pt. I) titled "Swimming"

"This is the moment that you know that you told her that you loved her but you don't"
We were back again in this same old bed
Familiar warmth and caresses surrounds me
And yet despite our careful, longing murmurs
I notice what we've left unsaid

"You touch her skin and then you think yeah she is beautiful, but she don't mean a thing to me"
You finger trace my spine like always
And your lips find mine, and fingers intertwine
But I felt the dawning of truth, when you left me in the hallway

"The California sun cascading down my face"
Like mosquitos our love has always been a seasonal thing
Fleeting feelings of intense magnitude and devotion
Boiled down to a consistent summer time fling
Basking in the sun in your arms devoid of emotion

"There was a girl with light brown streaks"
That was me- the girl with light brown streaks
And I knew that I was beautiful
But I didn't mean a thing to you

"Yeah she was beautiful, but she didn't mean thing to me"

And in chorus we thought

"I wanted to believe in all the words that I was speaking as we moved together in the dark"

We had ourselves fooled
That we could beat the same old walls between us
Always making promise we cannot keep
For the sake of the comfort we seek

"As tiny vessels oozed into your neck and formed the bruises"
And every time we step back we find more and more
Bruises on our souls and on our psyches
Beaten against what we cannot change
It is time we shut the door

"That you said you didn't want to fade"
We greedily cling to
Every mark from every collision
Every painful good bye
Because it's something that reminds me of you

"But they did and so did I that day"
But those memories are fading
And so our hope should too be fading
For things that are never going to happen
For the things that keep us waiting

"So when you ask, is something wrong?"
"I think you're **** right there is, but we can't talk about it now"
"No we can't talk about it now"

"So one last touch and then you'll go"
You'll kiss me in the car
At the airport where you'll leave
To the place that you call home
Where all the people who matter are

"And we'll pretend that it meant something so much more"


"But it was vile and it was cheap"
Every recurrence, every attempted resuscitation
Is a mockery and degradation
Of what we used to have
It will never be the same situation


"And you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me"
What we had was beautiful
But it doesn't mean a thing to me

" yeah you are beautiful but you don't mean a thing to me"
And I know I don't mean a thing to you
"Tiny Vessels" by Death Cab for Cutie

It's been a while
It's been so long
It feels wrong

What are you?
What have you become?
What are you since I've been gone?

Shall I see growth
Or regression
Is it safe to call that progression

So much is different now
Who am I
To tell you what code to live by

Who am I
To judge your journey
Because at the end you will be worthy

But the return
The return
These painful scars, they burn

To carry these burdens
So far
But back here how usesless they are

The return is never what it seems
No welcome for the hero
Just pain that they must never know

I return to emptiness
Scars and pain no one can heal
I am alone in my battles that no one can feel

So we carry on, drag our feet
As we journey on to places no one has ever been
To things no one else has ever seen

To each his own
Battles to carry
Demons to burry

And we return,
We return to the things we used to know
And find they no longer suit us like they did all that time ago

Where to we go from here?
We only wanted to go home
But home is no longer the place we had known

Where to then?
For heroes at their journey's end?
Is there no place left for them to mend?

The return
The return is never what you dreamed
You come back and more time has passed than had seemed

And the return is painful
But you come and anyway you smile
Because after all that you know it is worth the while

To have left and grown
To witness what you left behind
For the greatness you came to find

The Return
It's been so long
It feels so wrong
But I think this isn't where I belong
Kimberly Weber Apr 2015
Lie in silence
Sit on all the words
I have not the courage to say

Staring blankly
Confused and concered
About what the future holds now

I can't let go
Holding on dearly
To this broken relationship

It is not wise
It does not fare well
Better this than being alone

Sorry
Really really bad poem, no rhyme scheme, little flow. I had to say something
Kimberly Weber Aug 2017
Whatever
I sigh
Rolling my eyes
And laughing inside

"Don't whatever me"
You glare with a smile only I can see
Whatever, you say to me
And again I roll my eyes, with glee

I turn to you
Staring deep into your eyes of blue
What... Ever.... I spell out for you
And you shoot me a glance I knew

It's like our inside joke
Our all good to go
It feels like cheating
To say whatever
To any other guy

It's ruined
Now and Forever
I always think of YOU
When I say Whatever
Kimberly Weber Jul 2014
The sun glistening off the water
Water shining off the surface
The clarity of it all gleaming against the mountainous back drop
So grand
And it exists
Kimberly Weber Jul 2014
The river swells and breaks before the plunge, plumetting down, down far below the ledge of my vision where you can hear the mighty crash and roar of water on rock and you can feel the rushing power of it all beside you, wondering what it would be like to be swept away...
And this is just a small reminder of how small and incapable I am, and how vulnerable I am to natures whim
Not exactly a poem, but I hope it was beautiful
Kimberly Weber May 2014
Talking to her and all I can think of you
I want to feel you, want you close to me
This is wrong and new
But I feel so free
I want to say something, some words, just a few.
In your arms, your hands on my waist, no other place I'd rather be
Taking a test and all I can think out of the blue
I want to see him, I wish I could flee
I'm giddy, oh so giddy to be through
When he looks at me, what does he see?
Closer and closer still to you
I want to be with you, I'll pay whatever fee
Does he love me can it be true?
I can't believe you chose me
Do you love me sincerely the way I love you?
Not my favorite, very forced. Awkward

— The End —
