You smile when you talk
White and blinding
Disarmingly
A trust-worthy smile
But I’ve learned to see your liar’s eyes

Your words spin stories
Colorful pictures in air
A soothing, convincing tone
Coaxing my belief
But I’ve learned to see your liar’s eyes

Your hands dance
Elaborating, gesticulating,
Distracting
From your liar’s eyes

When I am with you
I’ve learned to focus
Directly into your liars eyes
So that I can see the truth.

If he blinks, he's lying.

Sometimes we do not want to know the truth but when we do, stare at his eyes to see if he blinks.

Good job.

A couple small details first — that 3rd stanza's the weakest with those gerunds in use there at its heart; in the 1st stanza, trustworthy shouldn't be hyphenated as well as a missing apostrophe in liar's in the 4th stanza. It's that 3rd stanza that should prove to be the most difficult to tweak.<P> Other than those little details, you show so well the difference between the gross obvious signs over which a person can control {voice, mouth, & gestures} and the more subtle signals that cannot so easily be controlled {the eyes}. I'm sure most people can relate to this difference.
