Believe nothing you hear and only half of what you see.
Edgar Allan Poe.

Hearken not to false,
Half the seen, seen through clouded,
Truth lies in the dark.
🍃
Veiled truths unravel,
Echoes twist through shadowed skies,
Eyes deceive the soul.
🍃
Silent lips that lie,
Half-truths painted in night’s dark,
Doubt and vision vie.
🍃
Perception's cold lens,
From lying lips, under moon,
Truth speaks a faint spark.
🍃
Whispers the night sky,
Trust fading as shadows blush,
Eyes cry. Nevermore!

"Is all we see or seem But a dream within a dream?" My love of Poe supercedes that of any other writer. Well-wrought!
