Barry Van Allen Poems

I don't like it either,
but, I have to do what must be done,
what must be taken care of,
seems a lot like growing up!
...

I have seen a pair of eyes,
a pair that has seen the light of many days,
and seen the path to follow through the haze.
...

but, every church says two,
that's how they get and keep the converts,
- - - by promising another try,
...

I've tried to build my life on what is right,
to distinguish what is false from what is true,
I always knew it would not happen overnight,
I've not seen clearly since I fell in love with you.
...

Lazy August day today,
I stopped along the way,
thinking that I had,

long and flowing tresses,
lipstick and mascara,
turning massive men to messes.

and he goes way out of his way,
to hate some music...
...

When we awoke this morning,
I felt a strange and different flow in me,
and my thoughts were filled,
with peace and gentle notions.
...

I am smarter than I used to be,
when I was 17,
or when I was 22 or 25 years old,
... back when I knew everything.
...

There is an argument about which truth is right,
in one way I am tending towards ' the truth is what it is! ',
... and in another way...
I have seen so many truthful things, that I am asking...
...
