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...

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

I love this.. and so epically true. I always say if you dance with God he'll let the right man cut in.

That's a coincidence, I just reviewed a poem by the hand of Anne (Fracas). I must repeat my own words. Our eyes, the perception through our eyes is not always right, sometimes even traitorous. I think we have to balance the outcome of our senses on the balance of our inside feelings, our experience before believing them. Very well done. :) Rudi

Thanks for checking it out and I agree!

Love it from start to finish. Thanks for sharing once again brethren. This one contains several thought provoking perspectives which serve as pieces of advice to all the people out there. Verily, looks can be deceiving. That is why we should bear in mind that seeing is just an initial phase, reach the next step before we make any judgment. Great work!

[Jamestown]

Absolutely,thanks again my friend, b-blessed!

[Jamestown]

I truly appreciate your review and b-blessed!

[andrew mitchell]

its not so much what the eye sees, its what the eyes don't see. yes its an imperfect world of deceit and trickery and what hides behind those eyes that you seek soon is revealed. the more you dig the more you find so to speak . thanks for sharing

[Jamestown]

You make a very valid point, you clever fella! Thanks for checking it out
