It's simply the not knowing,
That causes so much pain.
The questions left unanswered,
The riddles of the game.
I'd rather hear the word good-bye,
Then I can stop resisting.
For when the answer is unclear
I wonder what I'm missing.

Meaningless moon-dipped dreams
in chaotic surroundings.
Childhood rituals of chastity and love
wrapped in a butterfly kiss.

with leafless skeleton trees
as ghosts of drifting clouds
are crossing the countryside... – by Brian Spivey | 7 Views added 7 years ago

Spring is in the air, life begins anew.
If life has one beginning, I began with you.
Like a barren desert, I existed without life.
I searched the world for love, finding only strife.
You waited while I wandered , a smile upon your face.
As if you... – by Brian Spivey | 4 Views added 7 years ago

I've a story for you
I swear that it's true
It's about the queer folk
in the town where I grew
There's old Willie McFee
Who one day swallowed a bee
He screamed and he yelled
and ran into a tree
Sweet Sally Anne Blye
One day swatted a fly
Then she... – by Brian Spivey | 8 Views added 7 years ago

If fairies flit around your ear
And whisper words, then disappear
Can you say you truly hear
I simply do not know
Their words are soft and oh so sweet
Like candy for your ears; a treat
I hear they make your life complete

I saw a soldier just today
Though he wasn't standing tall
He was resting in a fancy box
For this soldier gave his all
Other soldiers bore him home
To his final resting place
They proudly marched side by side
Though they'd never seen his... – by Brian Spivey | 1 View added 7 years ago

A gnome went for a walk one day
Along the garden path
He saw another standing guard
Next to the new birdbath
Being a sweet and friendly sort
He stopped to pass the time
The other said no single word
Are there such as gnomish... – by Brian Spivey | 24 Views added 9 years ago

While I kept her at a distance
It was easy to forget
Just how much she means to me
And how much I regret
Five long years have rolled away
On my solitary path
Now she's come back into my life
My heart has done the math
Love's embers are still glowing... – by Brian Spivey | 1 View added 10 years ago

Crystal eyes, ruby lips

Where have you gone, little lion of mine?
You once filled the house with your roar.
Where is that terror that hunted the hall,
And waited in ambush behind the hall door?
I watched you for hours, little lion of mine.
As you crept through the leaves... – by Brian Spivey | 3 Views added 11 years ago
