Barry Van Allen Poems

Use your time wisely, says I,
pocket your money,
and when days are sunny,
all your temptations defy.
...

Cold and frosted panes of glass,
Christmas trees of winters past,
the mantle piece with stockings hung,
I knew these things when I was young.
...

Today retains it's glitter,
while the clouds have blocked the sun,
each life is just experiment ...
... a journey just begun!
...

We need to talk more than we do, or ever have,
when we were lovers, all the world lost it's way,
all we needed was a breath, a kiss, a touch of tenderness,
we need to feel those simple feelings, here today.
...

I am not a man for prayin',
and I am not a man for sayin',
that I need you,
but, I am prayin' you will stay.
...

It is a windy first of May,
add a sky that's turning gray,
then add to that a broken heart,
and pools of tears.
...

I want to live a life,
that is free of pain and sorrow,
I want to live a life,
so I will never beg or borrow,
...

Everything is equal now,
your team is in first place,
that's the way it is in training camp,
- - - everyone is in the race.
...

I strive to be a gentleman,
life doesn't make it easy,
if she wasn't so attractive,
if she wasn't quite so smart,
...

Well, Skirmish 6 is coming soon,
I can feel it in my soul,
I can sense that in my bones,
and in everything I know.
...
