Silenced Windows of the Soul

The silenced eyes are windows to the soul,purvey within them and they show.

Shrouded revelations guarded there,
buried deep in melancholic pains despair.
At times a reflective compassionate mirror,
flood with tears of sympathetic flaming sears.

Stared blank silence assumed aloofness,
burn with heartfelt feelings in stifled
truthness.
Never take a silence of voice for blank,
still watered depths sing symphony in fact.

Had some doubts of usage in aloofness myself.So I check a dictionary:aloofness

n 1: indifference by personal withdrawal; "emotional distance" [syn: distance] 2: a disposition to be distant and unsympathetic in manner [syn: remoteness, standoffishness, withdrawnness]

Short but sweet. Congratulations on writing the first entry I've read whose background isn't soaked in darkness. It's a nice step into some sunshine. The poem flowed nicely and you put me in a good mood becuase this is the first poem I've seen that uses the word "aloofness"

I've seen especially in the young where they talk only with their eyes - as if waiting for you to hear them without words. You've captured this concept.

This is great. I like the fact that the poem comes with a picture. The imagery you portray is captive. Great peice!
