Those Lying Eyes

While the mouth can speak lies, It cannot hide the truth

Fleeting or flirtatious

Angry or gracious

The eyes are no true measure

Of the mood of a man

Eyes are bald- faced liars

No more than mere mirrors

That reflect only what they expect 

That another demands 

They can harden or soften

In a mere blink of an eye

As constant in change

As clouds in the sky

They can roll in their sockets

In mocking dismay or

Twinkle as do gold lockets

And seem ever so gay

Yes, tears seem sincere

When they pool in the eyes

But in truth I fear they’re

No more than deceptive disguise

But, the mouth! Aye.. now there’s 

A horse of an entirely different colour

As long as you pay no heed

To the words that they say and sigh

For a mouth e’en tightly closed

Cannot help but to expose

The true feelings 

That lie behind those 

…lying eyes…

But...You must ignore the eyes and only look at, but not listen to the mouth
