Barry Van Allen Poems

I know you didn't want it,
and by the way I didn't ask,
but, I admired you back then,
... you never knew.
...

It was Ninety - one today,
but, I still feel lucky,
It was One with Two Big Zeros,
where my uncle is.
...

Christmas is a special time of year,
a time for holding,
a time for knowing,
who is near and dear.
...

Just past your nose,
is everything you're missing,
- - - at least within some inches.
...

It was just a dream I had,
that the woman wanted me back,
- - - once again,
It was just a dream that I was going with,
...

Over there, there is a tree,
among the other trees,
beneath the sky, above the ground,
they simply stand amidst the breeze.
...

Seeing you again could be the worst thing I might do,
but then again, I've never lost the love I have for you,
Seeing you again would make my thoughts disorganized,
but how would I be true unto the plans I have devised?
...

Growing up is hell, or so it's told,
but, it never leaves that we are growing older,
through the years of setting suns,
well past the journeys of our loved ones,
...

When ' I like you' seems too easy,
and when ' I think you're cute ' seems slow,
with everything I know of language,
where do the right words go?
...

We don't seek to be the ' Bully ' of the world,
yet, we are the ' Target ' of the world,
I guess it's easier to ' take aim ',
than to stand upon your own two legs,
...
