Endless sadness
drowning in unshed tears.
Shining orbs laughing
washing away rivers of fear.
Twin darts of darkness
in angry respite.
Two moons in reflection
of love's delight.
Cold steel tempered
by hatreds flame.
Mirrors of forgiveness
in mercy's name.
empty stares, unfeeling,
the heart a black hole.
two wells so deep they
reveal the soul.
Everyone's story in life,
Hate, Love, Truth, or Lies.
Is there for the knowing,
Look in the eyes.

I like the way your words and lines kind of dance in a waltz from the page. It holds my focus as it leads. Yes the eyes do hold it
as you keep the theme and idea alive in every stanza. Nicely penned. good luck in the contest,
