In Your Eyes by Chocolate
They pierced me
cut my soul in two.
Left me swimming
in the depths of you.
Hypnotized by the sighs
and lies…
Hoping in the perception
Kissing the misconception
I guess I knew it wasn’t true
Your soul lay hidden in plain view.

“Your soul lay hidden in plain view.” That is a power line! Some eyes are REALLY deceptive!

They can be. Thank you Mary.

Usually very trusting and not prone to suspicion, I have recently been fooled by someone’s eyes showing me such interest….Flattered for awhile, I finally realized the manipulation in time…
August 30th, 2012 at 3:27 PM
It is a good thing you recognized it. Some people can manipulate for years before being found out. Thank you for your comment.

swimming, hoping, kissing–oh yeah, by that time you have seen what is there to view!
August 30th, 2012 at 3:28 PM
You are so right Susan. Thank you!

easy to see the soul within the eyes if you are looking…most people have a tell….but so easy to fall for you know…we all wanna hope…
August 30th, 2012 at 3:29 PM
That is the key…we have to look for it. Hope is eternal though…Thanks Brian!

Excellent poem.
We never want to see behind the lie because the lie is so much prettier.

True! We are always caught by the pretty things
. Thank you!

Sometimes one can get hypnotized by beautiful eyes but then some eyes can lie and it is hard to tell if the eyes belong to someone who believes their lies. True love can be hard to find but once found it is worth all the heartache. All we can do is keep searching and pray it is found.
Was fun listening to you, and then I reread it again but that time I heard it in my voice or at least the one in my head which sounds nothing like my recorded voice.
Thanks for sharing a great poem and eye picture for this weeks Theme Thursday. Great listening to you.
God bless.

Thank you! True love really is worth the heartache, but sadly, all love isn’t true. We do keep praying for it though. Thank you again for your kind words and your insight.

Such great word play here!

Thank you for stopping by!

The eyes can be double edged sword — what is really there for all to see, may not match the facial expressions … the eyes can destroy or lift up … I prefer the “lifting up”. Nicely done.

So do I Becca! Thank you for your lifting words

Superb first and final couplets. In between: dreamy.

Thank you David!

You have described the amazing stupidity of unrequited love perfectly: some people choose to be blind to enjoy the moment…, love doesn’t matter when pleasure rules.

I guess you knew it wasn’t true, but…
Very well written, especially these two lines:
Hoping in the perception
Kissing the misconception.

The things we do for love or the appearance of it! Thank you for reading and for lending your insight!

Lies an sighs — the “rhymes” of life that echoes in the corridors of the mind — ah, but a mute sound to the heart, no?
Beautifully penned poem, dear friend.

So true! Thank you for your kind words
