That look, cold and dark Those eyes, can't escape Dark, deep, bottomless Unmoving, expressionless No hint of feelings No emotion, just emptiness That haunting blackness Beckoning, ever watchful Am I the only one who sees? God grant me the serenity to accept the people I cannot change, the courage to change the one I can, and the wisdom to know it's me. ~Unknown |

EagleOne~ Haunting eyes ... forbidding the spirit of another to gaze deep within. Wow, you captured them perfectly. Nice job .. simple and straight-forward. ~*Marge*~ ~*The pen of the poet never runs out of ink, as long as we breathe.*~ noles1@totcon.com |

I think eyes can often tell you the most about a person, windows to the soul, a cliché but in a lot of cases it is true. For instance when I was younger I was never able to make direct eye contact with people when talking to them, lack of confidence, insecurities but now I ma more confident but still people joke about the way I often seem to stare into space, when I slip away into my own head to think for awhile. I guess what I am saying is eyes say a lot. my point have not a clue...great poem made me think and rant a bit.  |

~Eeekkk,...Eagle One...these eyes are haunting. Shielded by a cold sort of pain. I've seen them,..may have even had them once (unfortunately). Thanks for a neat read. *Peace. |
