Defiant heart refuting the truth,
aberrant soul hiding
beneath some hazy soot,
pensive charm silently
rattling the hornet’s nest,
and the crotchet thoughts
defeating some raucous smile
She perfected each one of her move,
disguised every word she spoke,
but despite such fierce strife,
she failed to deceive those innocent eyes
She tried many tricks, coaxed, pleaded, appeared deviant,
yet nothing worked,
for she couldn’t train her eyes to lie,
so she resigned,
and took shelter under the dark shades,
her own refuge under the naked skies

Confab With Me 
Refuting.
What’s the meaning of that?
Refute means Disprove

Lovely lines!👍
You can never deceive your eyes. Eyes never cease to hide your true self. They reveal all those emotions buried deep down.
Mesmerising! 😊
Hmmm! Kala chashma.
Now I know why celebs wear shades.
Shantanu 👍
Another incredible work of art. Nothing can be hidden inside us because as others say the eyes are the window to the soul. Thanks Shantanu for this acute look where we once never tread !
I just checked my spam and i realized that most of your comments were in my spam. 😨

Such beautiful exposition about our naked honest soulful eyes.We teach our heart to lie but the eyes always remains untouched.Hence its been said eyes are windows to the soul.
Beautifully said, Shantanu.

I think I need to invest in a pair of shades. Haha! Good one!
Haha. It won’t be a bad investment after all. Thanks for commenting 😊🌸
Beautiful. Any reason why you make some words/phrases bold?
Awesome 👌👌👌…Beautifully Written 🙂.
Nothing in particular. I try to highlight the essence in the sentence 😊
These eyes, these eyes always deceive you, or to say deceive you when you want to simply lie.
Thank you so much Priscilla
So true and you said it right, for eyes cannot manipulate
(Let the reader decide). That’s the beauty of poetry. Just a thought….
True that’s why I never state it the reason behind the highlight
Not at all & it was my pleasure. 😃
😊🌸😀
Beautifully written!
Thank you so much Warren
You’re welcome!

You write so wonderfully even pain seems beautiful, loved the lines “she couldn’t train her eyes to lie,
so she resigned,”
Thank you so very much for your Kind words
“..for she couldn’t train her eyes to lie..” — if only those eyes were a violin.. Such fine music I hear in this beautiful piece.
And, thank you, Shantanu.
Thank you so much for your kind comment
