Barry Van Allen Poems

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.
...

Adventure; past and present,
will carry me for now,
the memories of days gone past,
will shift the darker clouds.
...

It may be just distance,
or a lack of persistence,
It may be the way things were seen,
that carried my girl and so much of my world,
...

I tried to watch the news today,
but, I just couldn't see,
... Now, maybe it was me...
...

As the autumn eases in,
I come to rest more,
soon followed by the thoughts,
of sweet Rebecka,
...

Within the shadow of an Elm,
there lies the couple,
beneath its branches ,
flashes light of love and tears,
...

He even did it in the light of day,
a Nine- year - old or so,
used as but a pawn, I think,
a young black boy from the neighborhood.
...

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.
...

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,
...
