Look Into A Dead Man's Eyes

My typical morbidity

Mistiness caught forever in time

Of the dead man's glossy eyes

Reflect my own inquisitive glance,

Offering answers to my questioning mind.

 

The absence of horror is quite plain,

As well as a lack of a sign of pain.

He stares simply, as though in a trance;

His comatose expression lacks an aim.

 

So what do I see within his gaze?

This man should be living his life ablaze.

Perfect in health he lays here

But for being deceased; I'm amazed.

 

Hmmm. Per haps he saw the blend,

The mix, where life and death bend.

Within the dead man's leer

I see he simply saw the end...

I think through anyone's eyes you can tell a whole story but the way you wrote of a dead man's eyes is just amazing!!
Great Write!!

A dead person eyes tell a story..pain..love..and then death. I loved this poem it was a very beautiful read, you did a great job ;).

"within the dead man's leer/ I see he simply saw the end" That line alone packs such a punch, I loved the feeling of this one! It is unnerving to stare into a dead person's eyes, but the simple inquisitiveness of the speaker in this poem renders death's ghastly aspect not so horrid. Lovely work Stussy!
