The eyes cannot lie

Aa Harvey



The eyes cannot lie.

 

 

Some days it is harder to fake a smile.

Just leave me alone!

I’ll be fine in a little while,

But at this moment in life,

I cannot be ‘Oh you are nice!’

I’ve got to sacrifice this vessel, for time,

Is taken again; the pain is the same,

But the riverbank beauties are still so far away.

 

 

All I want is your empathy;

Please!

But you are not even looking in my direction.

I am a portrait of perfect imperfections

And the untold story of a man on his knees,

Clawing at life; it hits from 360 degrees

And every time, I ask myself why!!?

My subconscious tells me, this is your life.

 

 

I am no taker of another’s property,

But why, oh why, must I be me?

Let me be another broken creation;

One who doesn’t have to suffer this agony!

 

Love is on a permanent vacation.

    Nicely done. Felt by many but spoken by you. That is art my friend

    • Aa Harvey

      Empathy is something we should all look for and try to give, so thank you, but this is merely a doodle compared to the art that is contained in the video that goes with this song...This is art...

      "You're right.
      There is nothing more lovely.
      There's nothing more profound,
      Than the certainty,
      Than the certainty,
      That all of this will end...
      That all of this will end.

      So open your arms to me!
      Open your arms to me!
      And this will be.
      The one moment that matters..."


      OK Go - The one moment.

        Thanx.

        "Stare into the glass...
        And wait for the time to pass...
        And I thank you for the offer,
        But you know I must decline.
        I'm never more than two drinks away,
        From crying..."

            "I am grateful to have been loved and to be loved now and to be able to love, because that liberates.

            LOVE LIBERATES…

            It doesn’t just hold;
            That’s ego.

            LOVE…LIBERATES…"

            “I’m leaving.”
            “You’re leaving my house?”
            “Yes. I’ve found a job and I’ve got a room with cooking privileges down the hall, and the land lady will be the baby sitter.”
            “You’re leaving my house?
            “Yes Ma’am”
            "And you’re taking the baby?”
            "Yes”
            “Alright. Remember this... When you step over my door-sill, you have been raised.
            You know the difference between right and wrong.

            Do right…”

            Love liberates – Dr. Maya Angelou
