Stallion had almost forgotten the joy of colt-hood
He watches his son gallop down the familiar path
Was I ever this young? Stallion whispers to his mare.
She assures him that he was, and sometimes still is.
You are always young in my eyes, she tells him.
Parental pride rains upon the couple as they watch their colt
As if he was their only child, when he is their third born son.
The sun gave nurturing vitamin D to the young family.
God’s grace apparent in the surrounding cactus
And the wild flowers that enjoyed the frolicking colt.

She screams at him.
Crying out to be heard.
She’s always been heard.
Nobody likes what she says.
It’s apparent.
I watch as they fight.
Numb or entranced maybe.
She faces toward him, her back to the fire.
He faces toward her, his back to me.
She is the fire.
And he is me.
He screams at her.
Begging to be enough.
He’s always been enough.
Never enough for her.
It’s apparent.
I watch as they love.
Confused or repulsed maybe.
She faces toward me, her back to the past.
He faces toward me, his back to the future.
She is me, and I am her.
He is me, and I am him.
There are no differences,
Only apparent similarities.

Man's addiction to currents
to motion in general
why the sea is so popular
a write, moving clouds such
fond vehicles for floating
daydreams
really, we are never still
aging while sleeping
drawn toward spirit alone
perhaps knows where~ no
seven day rest an apparent
finale

EMBARRASSED
Our limit of endurance
Doesn't always show appearance
Sometimes our often ignorance
Doesn't give us reassurance
So it surely is apparent
That we may be incoherent
When we know our way is errant
And we are much too transparent
We end up in a cluster
At the smallest we can muster
Or we begin to bluster
About our losing luster

Abstract
is not concrete
reality is not
fiction,
the physical can be
metaphysical,
appearances always
deceive...
Let's remember the
mirages...
What is not, can be
What is not there
may well be!
Hypnosis is there
to reveal... !
If appearance could explain
the essence, taste would be meaningless... !

Misspent by inclination,
treed by ambition,
I fled the woods thirsting for the desert,
only to drown in a deep water ecstasy,
later to awaken in the vineyard,
free of fright, bound by the new day's light.
The unchained man bowed his head,
sincerity apparent, no deception transparent.
But the rock in my heart would not soften.
My suspicion would stay, no fears allayed.
This unblinkered seer,
this transcendental man,
had clean fingernails.
Draw your lines, number your principles,
look through me and ponder the stars.
Perhaps you do read future history.
In a world scrubbed white that coin may trade,
but you get no supper until I get paid.
The strange attractor left the table.
He blasted through the clover
and felled the shamrocks,
separating forever the last leprechauns in love.
Brutally, he balanced the books.
Now I see the unchained man's dream:
A land unfettered by growing things,
that sterile paradise where simplicity is king.
The numbers add up easily in a desert fantasy.
Convulsed with joy,
I close my eyes adrift at sea.

The loveliest girl in the world's named Rose
From aquiline nose down to graceful toes --
Yet poor Rose can't get a date
Is she abandoned by fate? --
Those giant bald spots she should not expose

Intrinsic living
an long stinging injury.
Some apparent end
with an smart hidden counter
just examples motivate.

Will Hicks was angry about rear ends
a sudden discharge cost him countless friends.
It made a stinky mess
causing him distess
until he started to wear Depends.

You would take my symphony
For granted.
You would tame me like you tame
That empty trashcan
You would refill me at your convenience
With your stable calmness.
Before merging onto the gore point of death
I look back
I see you
I see the world
In you.
A vigorous silence utters in your voice
To be there to overcome.

Something in the air
Atmosphere
Something in my mind
Depression
Where am I
Confession
Addressing
Distressing
Testing trials and tribulation
Descending from atmosphere
Something in the air apparent
Coming down from heaven
To relieve us..

In apparent dismay
my friend, Bobby May
wrote that people now say
man came from monkeys...
which didn't use to be the way
that we thought of our stay
here on Earth
~ where you and I once held sway
