The Eyes

The eyes 
Never blinking 
Always staring 
Searching but never finding 
     They see all 
     The sparkling eyes 
                                                                            The smile
                                                                            The safety
       They see all                                  
        The sadness in ones eyes                                                  
   The sacrifice
   The sorrowful
They see it all 
From the shadows
Of their shallow skins 
Speaking with one another 
With soft voices 
Should they strike 
Should they stay
Or should they disappear in the night
For they can only stare   
With their wondering eyes
The lost are lost 
Ever to wonder  
 But never to be found

Wow! I love the words "shallow" and "shadow" together, as well as being followed by the "should"s. Just all the S's!!!!

I like how this takes the whole "you can see someone's soul through there eyes thing" to a whole new level. Also, I personally love the way the poem is structured, it looks like a detective duck.

I love how you use so many S's. It makes a really good contrast.

Really nice poem, pulled me in right away. Made me think about how much our eyes can tell someone.
