wordy duels and specious logic
no longer holds allure
it’s not in knowing but becoming
we feel bliss beats pure

Wyoming sure lacks common sense
To believe in Trump, but not Pence!
A bankrupt and liar
Can prey like a friar
Wyoming is spacious yet dense!...

soft and soothing
toroidal heart hums
breathing mists of bliss
rumble of cosmic drums

somewhere on the internet
a guru speaks in riddles
specious is his affirmation 
hallowed innocence giggles...

Specious logic needs litmus test
Why not with love confer
If we think at ego’s behest
We spew on soul a slur

At all costs need to win
Cause of our hearts chagrin 
Our soul tormented by sin

Outcome tragic
Specious logic

The practice of deceit 
devours your dignity,
debilitates your mind, 
destroying honesty.

Beware the simple cliche 
that may compliment, 
confound clear thought 
with specious argument.

The highways to the soul 
are rife with ambiguity, 
the road to virtue is best 
traveled with integrity....

Ferality 
Brutality
Remorse

Gratification 
The gains
Illusionary 

Repression 
Sublimation 
Ego games

Specious logic
Self hypnosis 
Delusion

Web of thoughts
Gluey desire
Myriad fears 

Habit patterns 
A limitation 
Self-imposed

Fear of freedom 
Thus keeps us
Bound

free state
   need resuscitate
   can’t hesitate
   to evaluate
   then elaborate
   specious debate
   too late
   dare dedicate
   stilling hate
   egos inflate
   do perpetuate
   inevitable fate
   armageddon date
   will not wait
   lest we consecrate
   civil complaint
   with new translate

two tyburns 

anxious
specious
precious
righteous
When they released anxious, specious hate,
they woke to a precious, righteous state.

pious
gracious
callous
fractious
Potentially pious, gracious souls
were redeemed from callous, fractious roles.

With myrtle and listenability
I undertake the words of the prophets
Memories relapse in an unhealthy fashion
Man the forgetful
this rectangular mouth
compromises loftily
The Moons harsh splendour
boasts its specious context
as marigold and beam
sway across my October windowsill
like salt peter cleansing the pelt
truth is unburdened...

Shifty eyes belie camouflaged avarice, seeking a higher share of family inheritance by employing specious logic, jockeying for an advantage. The seemingly dreamy elder sips coffee, nodding in consent.

discerning eye knows
recognising wayward ways
soul smile indulgent

events precipitated
creating a ripple
causing space to sigh

discord replaced harmony
a fissure appeared
requiring healing

specious reasoning
presented by eristic ego
stifled the throb of love

the drama being enacted
impacted not the mindful monk
who never predicts outcomes

who can tell if it is time
to gentle the swaying pendulum
the hermit has no preference...

Boats are sailing in calamity way
It safely rows against forage winds
Even though  
Bad specious  always put  it in panic circums
Sail as far as can
Don’t get betrayed ; be profound 
What will dip you keep  mind brute 
Where thy hook up
Where they take
Ways are never been hide
Proof of  trend  crumb to reveal
Grief on life let fade out
To pretend of life; ever 
God sparkles lights for the dark's...

I've done some horrid things
that others admire
and find but few
of life's conjectures
with which I am in harmony
my grand planned path to happiness
abandoned mid-draft
favoring another specious endeavor
the sought-after solution
only solving the equation
for the moment in which it made sense,
still,
in both it's common usages,
my life not a waste
full-time a fool
and part-time poet...

Epiphanic thoughts
Erupting violently
Odd Conceptions
Chaotically dance 
Within confines of mind
Rendering indecision
Empty answers
Sallow questions
Sluicing freefall
Over bottomless precipice
Panicked emotion
Building pressures
Rasping hard
For control.
Descending 
Through austere winds
Terminal velocity
This raindrop hits
Exploding silence
Upon my forehead
Calming…
My Everything...

A friend truly
Concerns about a specious face
And listens patient to wanting words 
In need of ample place

Then loans away all of tears
To eyes whose more can’t cry
Next, gives a sense and simple truth
When all the offers from others lie

A true friend, truly is like unto home
Where security be surely sweet
Many is what we’ll always want
But, one merely… is all we’ll ever need ...

as inevitable, it came to pass
and so the question was asked
on whether we should abandon
feral soul we'd ourselves tasked
to spew toxicity that we may learn
to remain tranquil even as we burn

clever ego offering specious logic
hinting we need not trauma bond
why then keep a rear view mirror
but heart joyously does respond
effusing love, inane game end
egoic will to God's laws bend

Sonorous, saporous symphonies: strong;
Soothingly spiritual, sublime sweet songs.

Seismically sensitive subsurface screens;
Substandard systems severe shakes scarce seen.

Searing sharp satirists, snarkily snide;
Subtle smart sophists show soft, specious side.

Skimpy, salacious shows sell sexy spice;
Somber, sad serials scarcely suffice.

Sans similarities, superimposed;
Sequencing syllables, simple supposed....

insistent emphasis
dogmatic views
make for faith
fundamentalistic

specious belief
eristic rigidity
stagnates in a cave
caging spontaneity 

seeking without surrender
clinging to scriptures
imprisons the soul
in a mind trap

repeated affirmations
manifest heart’s aspirations
as a conjured epiphany 
deepening delusion

sans thought who are we
unfettered and unbound
beyond mental concepts 
look for that oh hermit...

Spiralling thoughts and specious logic repeatedly reinforce their affirmations rooted in swamplands of delusion with the singular aim of nurturing lower mind, continuing to shroud the self evident truth of our luminous divinity. As such, the shift, so to speak, is a journey without movement, being simply stilling mind-body identification and with it, resting cravings arising from attachment to maya borne illusions.

Lazy is better
With attentive mindfulness 
The nightmare now ends...
