The Deceptive Eye Poem by Theo Williams
The Deceptive Eye
Eyes are the windows to each and every soul
That articulates a story in every perspective
Seeping when sad and tightened when angry
But can lie to us ‘cause they're deceptive.
For our eyes lie to each and every one of us
Unable to fathom what we're capable of
No one has seen what our eyes have seen
Which could vary from hatred to love.
Eyes close and bring darkness upon us
For some, a reality unseen
This deception can cause misconception
That traps us within a dream.
Eyes can reveal a human's personality
But illusorily hide their story
Misguiding reasons behind a tear
By which the eyes lie is mandatory.
But what if these eyes did not lie and only told the truth?
Would pain befall everyone for the truth we all lust?
Would all be revealed inside?
Or would a young child's eyes, be something you still trust?
The human eye is a very special organ which makes us understand others as well as express our own feeling in other words our eyes can sense any change in other people appearances or change in mood just by observing them ......... in your poem you talked alot about this i go along with you in this and accept what you say but sometimes as you said eyes can be deceptive and can fool the others this is hard to reveal only if you really know the person so this type of people are hard to deal with because you're unable to understand their feelings their mood what they think .....etc. I Love your poem it's very well written very well expressed and especially very meaningful
Love the poems and your style of writing and the things you put into it, keep it up
i have to agree with Juan on the punctuation. i also found the last verse kind of awkward (line lengths interupt the flow a little) . but all in all a great poem.
The Deceptive Eye a lens of man a reality that sadly is true eloquently told in this poem, thankfully we are all born with eyes that do not lie... another beaut poem Theo...regards
If a single person's eyes can still tell one truth, those eyes will be mine and the truth will be that you (arguably) write the best poems I've ever read. This particular one is phenomenal. Simply phenomenal.
You think I am experienced look at your words man they mean the true potential of an expert very good job.
You need to add punctation to the poem, or else every line becomes one big sentence and ruins the poem. I must say though once i got around that fact i rather enjoyed the poem very much. I plan to read your other poems in hopes that they are as good as this one. Thank you

Theo, for a poet of 18 years, you show a very mature perspective... plus, your words are truly 'poetic'... I can imagine you eventually becoming very well known... Terry
