The Truth

Poetry

Body Language reveals

If only you listen,

With your eyes.

The tone,

The edge

The words not said.

A stare,

A frown,

Tight lips,

Raised brows.

Too many blinks,

or not enough.

A touch of the hair

or arms crossed.

Framing the hips,

Puffing the chest.

Touching the face,

or covering the chest.

Looking away

or rolling the eyes.

They give us away.

The feelings we deny.

The truth beyond social times.

A pause,

Rethink.

Eyes wide,

or eye smile.

Language reveals

where we are from.

Like how you say mountain,

or if you drink, hun.

Cover up an accent,

There are still ways,

It may come out

When your under the gun.

And when there is pause,

Don’t speak, just wait.

You may be hearing the choke,

before crying is spoke.

Silence may give a breakthrough.

And ready or not,

culture comes out.

or The way that you say

the exact phrase

as your ‘ex’ does,

but these days…

It can show a connection,

staring you in the face.

It shows the lie,

while you fake a smile and reply,

Without moving your arms.

Anyone can act

but something will reveal,

The lie,

The feelings,

Who and what you adore.

This is the language

Unspoken cues.

Put it all together.

And look for a pattern,

to see the real truth.
