Lip Service

I watch him as he watches 

His eyes upon their lips 

A skilled and secret watchman 

Dechifering all their scripts 

 

Nothing is a secret 

As your words pour from your lips 

Nothing to save or keep it 

Your dialogues in his grip 

 

His lips repeat and mumble 

The secrets you have told 

Nothing is a jumble

He\'s talented, poised and controlled 

 

Communication can be like this

When the world is soft and quiet. 

To some it sounds pure bliss 

To  others a hellish riot 

 

So eyes upon your lips 

Is not always what it seems 

I  give you this one tip 

So your on the winning team 

 

Clever, talented and smart 

With eyes that read your thoughts 

Lip reading. . . . . . .  Such an art 

Being deaf is not a loss
