"Dark Mirrors"

                 "Dark Mirrors"

Are eyes...the mirrors... of the soul?

Do they reflect the hidden, and not whole?

When looking deep inside,  is it possible to see;

Love, hate, pain...life's deceit...or dishonesty?

Do the eyes reflect all in life...that is real;

Or only the emotions that ones heart...does feel?

Is the depth of the soul, mirrored through ones eyes;

Or agony that is suffered...when love cheats and lies?

Mirrors so dark that they draw one inside;

Held fast by the reflection...of living's... alibis.

Magnetically drawn to the soul...in the mirror;

Loves tangled webs, draw the heart nearer.

If... eyes are the mirrors...of the heart and soul;

Does death lie inside...of their empty holes?

I agree dear Poet.
"If... eyes are the mirrors...of the heart and soul;
Does death lie inside...of their empty holes?"
If we look into the eyes of another. We may see their life and journey. Thank you for sharing the outstanding poetry.

Many eyes show sadness, others happiness. It is painful to see eyes with no feeling. Kathie

I agree. I played dead for 6 years once. Sadness and regret can steal our hope.

A deep poem that leaves the reader wondering for themselves, if eyes can reflect all the above then perhaps they can reflect death indeed but also life to balance :) Powerful poem Valentine :)
