Facial expression

AFRICAN POEM BY NWACHUKWU VICTOR FACIAL EXPRESSIONS A picture drawn in your complexion, Tells alot about your expression, It hides in your beauty, And makes it hard to tell if one is guilty, The illustration shown through the eyes, Decieves the fools, and is seen by the wise It's sometimes easy to know the truth from the lies But sometimes it's hard to realize The eyes of Deception And the words of Redemption This two Things clash And creates a splash In the battle between feelings and emotions And sometimes it brings about the astmosphere of commotion Facial expressions is used as a tool To know who is who But sometimes mocks the fools It's like telling a story without a word And create a version of our world Deception, lies, truth, feelings and emotions All this hides behind the Facial expression It is like a mask we wear to play our part Or a character we Imitate to act Many people judge through the cover of books And believe deeply in the looks Even the weather decieves with it's mysterious nature Sometimes it's funny, sometimes it's playful and mature The real truth is hidden behind those smiles And the fack happiness that will last for some whiles Being reminded of the truth by the breeze But still hinding under the trees Living in two worlds One for the eyes, the other for the words Living through our Imagination A life according to our beautification Some hide it because of their foes Living a life on the low Show quoted text

facial expressions can deceive - we can all paint on a smile, but they eyes are the thing to focus on - in the words of the song ' you can't hie those lying eyes' hugs Jan xx

Dear Victor, the emotions and imageries of your poem run deep. Indeed, "facial expressions" can be a useful tool for those skilled in deception. Indeed, "The eyes of Deception/And the words of Redemption/This two Things clash" -such brilliant insight. Behind the sunny smiles are often dark clouds. A thought-provoking and beautifully expressive piece! Welcome to Poetry Soup. Warmest wishes.. ~Susan

Many fine lines in your posting, like "the real truth is hidden behind those smiles." So true. We often wear masks + hide our essential selves. Welcome to the poetry site. Best wishes, Brian
