OctPoWriMo 2019: Day 9: What My Eyes Saw

I Blinked and the World Was Gone
Photoshop Manipulation by The Real Cie

My eyes saw that in the end
Everything was just a lie
Seeing is not believing
Hearing is deceiving
Truth is but a silent sigh
Perspective nothing but perception
Reality is, on one hand, subjective
And on the other hand as objective
As a knife to the spine
My eyes are but windows
To the lies my soul tells

~Cie~

    Really like the poem! These lines went boom for me:

    Seeing is not believing
    Hearing is deceiving
    Truth is but a silent sigh
    Perspective nothing but perception
    Reality is, on one hand, subjective
    And on the other hand as objective

    I enjoyed the line "Perspective nothing but perception."

    I'm trying to keep up with reading all these wonderful OctPoWriMo poems . . . slowly! I like this sad, enigmatic poem. The ending is brutal for that sharp contrast between reality and intention/hope/illusion.

We love comments, with three caveats.
Be cool, Fool.
Don't be rude, Dude.
Don't be a prick, Slick.
That's all, Saul.
I try to get comments published as quickly as possible. I don't always reply to comments on my blog, but I do try to visit as many people as possible when I participate in blog hops and I share links where possible to Twitter, Facebook, Pinterest, and such so others can discover your work. I do read and appreciate your comments.
