Short Bryce Poems

In a sea of goldfish sat a Bryce
He looked around, said, "Hey, this is nice!"
We fed him a bit more
He threw most to the floor
Then we gave him a bath once or twice...

Have a great birthday, Brother Bryce, 
Let my regards safely reach you; 
Let my greeting open your eyes, 
Let this note keep you from the blue.

Bryce Canyon, what a mind blowing vista
Saw it on TV, couldn't believe it's charisma
Spires reaching skyward
A dazzling smorgasbord
Of nature's ability to amaze and create awe...

Live your days with purpose,
and death walks by your side

To constantly remind,
what time will not abide

Your choice on how to handle,
ignore or then befriend

That last step left untaken
—where life begins again

(Bryce Canyon: August, 2019)...

I would sacrifice to be a wasteland in order for your garden to grow.
And then you wouldn’t have to bury your tracks in the snow.
Let this revelation begin with a kiss
-and we will levitate with held hands.

Like a slow melting sunset cradling a crescent moon.
-Like a ghost appearing in a Rave.

My heart was once a pile of expired leftovers.
An overflowing trash can that stands in front of a suburban home
With flies of the young and old surviving off of the putrid remains.
And she was the dump truck that came to empty the can clean.

-The next week I slept in on trash day,
And now I am right back where I started.

There is this fire inside of me.
Sometimes it gives me hope,
Sometimes it makes me fall in love,
And sometimes it scares the shit out of me.
Because within me is a fire that cannot be put out even with all the water in every ocean 
of every part of the world.
This fire in me has a life of its own.

-And it does not know the meaning of sleep.

I've missed your voice from the beach
We talk every single day
Its sad to know that your 3 hours ahead of 
me
I want to see you face to face like we used 
to
Youre the one I want in life
Youre my twinkle to my eye
I've never thought you'd be my Prince 
Charming
It all fits because Prince Charming's first 
name is James
I love you Prince James Charming!
I will be your Snow White....

She slithers out of her dress perfectly
like a Ball Python shedding a faded coat of skin.
And her hair floats in slow motion
like astronauts dancing on the moon,
like sun burned autumn leaves letting go of their mother tree,
like a child letting go of a mickey mouse head shaped balloon.
And in her eyes I can see and hear the ocean
and now I'm sinking
now I'm drowning 
now I'm letting go
and nothing feels better than letting go.

God, Just Think of him,
Your power is greater than we can comprehend.

Just Think of him,
Your thought of healing works before we can act.

Just Think of him,
Your words comfort what we don’t understand.

Just Think of him,
Your presence gives death new life.

Just Think of him,
Your grace makes life’s imperfections disappear.

Just Think of him,
Your mercy gives hope where we can not see.

Just Think of him,
God just think of him and I know he can over come.
Please Just Think of him....

Though photographs, of course, entice
And guide books give their ratings,
Too many people pay the price
With yes and no debatings.

So let me offer my advice -
If you need a vacation,
Though Vegas has the slots and dice,
A better destination

Is Utah, where amazing Bryce
Will leave your senses reeling;
Superlatives will not suffice
To nail what you'll be feeling.

Allow me to be quite concise - 
It really is your duty
To visit; Bryce is twice as nice
As any other beauty....
