Lying Eyes...

Can't always believe what you see...

Lying Eyes...

As we all know, we can't always believe what our eyes
allow us to see, just think of the several times our eyes
have left us feeling deceived,

Ladies- how many times has your beautiful lying eyes,
locked in on what you thought was a dream come true,
prince charming standing right in front of you,

later to find out, this man is quite alarming and
left you feeling blue,

Gentleman- how many times has our deceptive eyes,
honed in on what we thought was our future wife,

to find out later, we can't stand this woman
anymore then one night,

Our lying eyes, love to play tricks on our hearts
and minds, so much that there's been times when,
I wish I could remove them and leave them behind,

But obviously, we can't remove our eyes,
we need our valuable eyes to ease our lives,
I just wish they weren't so good, at telling lies...

Author's Note

Can't always believe what you see!
Eyes sometimes lie...

"And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food, and that it was pleasant to the eyes, and a tree to be desired to make one wise, she took of the fruit thereof, and did eat, and gave also unto her husband with her; and he did eat."Notice how Satan uses the eyes to deceive us and bring desire "And when the woman saw that the tree was good for food"He will create an appealing temptation using our eyes great piece Jamestown PTL for fellow Christian poets

So so so true.
In fact, I've decided I'm anti Prince charming. Its those sweet puppy gods that turn into pit bulls once you get to know them. I'm all about fat ugly guys now.

I actually meant to say dogs, not gods. It must be an auto-correct that only happens for you.
B-blessed. :D

Well-said, James. The Eagles wrote about it, Oedipus gouged his out, the bible tells us to remove them if they have caused us to sin, and in the right head they can be downright dangerous. I like how you cleverly weaved in the 'one night stand' - good write my friend.

We all have turned to deceit even though we do wish to not be deceitful.
Your emotions have come right out in this piece.
A truthful write, Jamestown.

Hi James. You are still delving the depths and bringing issues to the forefront of attention , and I pray you never stop doing that! This is such an emotive write and I so love it when you throw in those random rhymes. You speak with such passion when you tell it like it is, a joy to read, a truth to believe! alf

Very truthful words! Eyes can be deceitful, so we must first and foremost listen to our hearts.
A good write.

I know my eyes lie, lie, lie to me; they spied a 3-pound steak and lied right to my stomach when they said, 'you can eat all or this!' Lying eye b******s!

[Jamestown]

another excellent write James, we need to train our eyes to see with our inner eye sometimes, it comes from a more spiritual place :)

I completely agree! Thanks for checking it out and b-blessed!
