Eyes

Eyes 

The mouth can speak sweet words or lies 
with profundity, deep and strong.
But when you look straight in the eyes, 
there's a truth that is never wrong.

Lovely words are "hocus pocus"
when the eyes are glancing down..
They need to look up and focus
on your two greens, blacks or browns.

Adoring clichés are spoken
to many a cherished, won prize.
Yet true love leaves hearts unbroken,
and begins in the lover's eyes.

Congratulations Janis on your placement in my contest. I loved the first stanza in this sonnet and the final couplet. No shame here, as all entries were superb! Thank you for your participation and your wonderful entry.
