Eileen Manassian Poet Free verse

Lying Lips- Earnest Eyes

Your lips...lie
Your words...lie
Your hands...lie
Your actions...lie
The lie: I am nothing to you

Your eyes...
Your earnest eyes
Cannot...will not...lie
They speak the truth
With every look
In their depths...a message
The truth: You long with me to...lie

Richard Lamoureux August 4, 2013 at 8:10 PM Good one, was it Beyonce or Jennifer Lopez that sang Your Lips don't Lie? Eileen Manassian August 4, 2013 at 11:04 PM Are you sure its lips don't lie or hips don't lie? If its the hips don't lie then it is none other than Shakira who is part Lebanese, by the way...and day belly dance like mad!!! :)
